my favourite assassins creed game of all time! LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT the design, the ambience, the music, the parkour Everything is so damn perfect about this game, thanks for these videos man! It brings happiness to all of the viewers out here!
Always did like venice. Good amount of verticality, different layers of parkour paths, alleyways, water cutting through a lot of places so you're kinda forced to plan around not being near a bridge.
I was originally planning to make these to capitalize off of shorts content but decided against it when I realized that shorts needed to be vertical videos. Since then, 1 minute has just been feeling far too short for quite a bit. Spoiler: my next one is most likely gonna be a BF one and it’s even longer lol
Very nice snippet, Jcers! Some very cool direction changes throughout this run. I’m always impressed to see how you manage to keep up your momentum as consistently as you do. As for Mirage, well… I hope we get to see some more parkour gameplay besides 3 second snippets showing basic actions before I really cast my final judgements. My cope is that they’re finally actually discussing parkour over combat, so it could be a sign of improvement to come. I hope.
Thanks, Kino! Glad you enjoyed it. This was actually a reshoot of a snippet I’ve had recorded for over two years, lol. Interesting to see how my style has changed over the years. Re:Mirage, I am done huffing AC copium, lol. I’ve just accepted that it’s never gonna be how I want it to be again and I have peace in that.
@@nishikantpanda8211 If you're following the modding community of AC games, you'll know that people had already tried to mod the AC1 vault into AC2 before, but then everyone just gave up on it. The reason is simple: it's extremely hard to do that, since Ubisoft is not a modding-friendly company like Bethesda. Best thing we could do right now is model-swapping between AC characters, or tweak enemies AI a lil bit. That said, even porting an outfit from AC3 to AC2 or vice versa is still a pretty hard thing to do, but it's doable.
The thing about the old trilogy is that it wasn't just made to impress , it was made to work/function well too , so when you do something stupid you know its your mistake and rarely the game's.
What’s hilarious is that the more I play AC in general, the more I tend to prefer the simple animation style of AC1-Rev. It doesn’t have the flashiness of Unity or even the smoothness & variety of AC3, but what it does nail is the _feel._ The feeling that Unity tries to impart through its complex and various animations, AC2 does through its mechanics, predictable jump patterns, and momentum. AC2’s Ezio feels absolutely incredible to move with.
@@jcers AC2 is the best one in this imo , because its the fastest and the most simplest. Rev's hookblade was a cool addition but having almost no control over how it activates took the fun factor away. Brotherhood was reaaallly slow for me when i first played it , felt like old age was finally catching upto Ezio. So yeah , the first two games are unmatched , hopefully AC Mirage devs aren't lying about returning to their roots , but i doubt it'll be as good as before. Currently , i am hooked to dying light's Parkour , it's seem simple but the sense of speed is so fresh , coupled with the badass vault and slide animations.
These are the roots we need to returned to. Btw i love and hate the fact that everyone reading this is likely to understand it because we all watched it. Showing that we do care about this franchise even though we have been disappointed continually
True. Unfortunately, I don’t see AC ever teaching its original greatness. I’ve moved on from the series as a living entity, but I do still love many of the games, and I’ll keep making content for those.
Dude, go play it and you'll see that this is much harder to do than what you see in the video. Even he struggles a lot. You can see it in his parkour evolution video where he also posts normal gameplay parkour. The parkour in the old games is not as good as it seems on these videos.
I’m actually glad the devs for mirage said this was more their inspiration for parkour. I can see them pulling this off … people who want all the flashy animations from Unity are gonna be let down. They didn’t have time for all that. THIS they can do with a better designed singular city & simple back/side ejects
I think they’re doing the best they could with the resources they had available and I appreciate the effort that the devs put in to try to make parkour a true part of the game again. That said, I’m tired of making excuses for modern entries in the series having objectively worse movement than even the first game. There is zero excuse for that being the case.
I swear Ubisoft has this weird addiction with remaking the series from scratch but with worse movement controls every console generation. There's just no praise I can in good conscience make for the movement system of a series that willingly removed manual jumping and all other player agency that ever existed beyond "push stick forward".
I may try someday with Rogue, but I will not lie to you: the level design for parkour in Rogue is really bad. Like, legit on par with Origins in some circumstances. I’ll see what I can do, though.
I find with AC3-Rogue parkour design in general, stuff just isn't close enough together most of the time due to them going for time period authenticity, which is a real shame. Even the cities are a bit more spread out, and the forts have even fewer structures to work with. Trees are a nice addition but when it's a whole forest you're basically on rails.
Beautiful showcase Jcers. Ac2 is the parkour high point though even in this game movement has some of that snap/magnetic features which cause ezio to land weirdly on beams when he jumps diagonally. I wonder if a truly free system could work where you had to gauge the distance and jump accordingly. Would a system like that be too pedantic and hard to control? Good to see you upload again.
@@jcers even if they now make us hold rt instead of just left stick it’ll be terrible. I can see the jumping looks the same as Valhalla. Not giving Ubisoft my money anyway
I really enjoyed how throughout the entire video, you maintained a steady, controlled pace. The video wasn't fast in one and slow in another instance, and I really enjoyed it. Also, what are thinking of Mirage as of late?
Glad you liked it! Some days, parkour is a vibe and other days it’s a zoom. This route is definitely a vibe route. As for Mirage, it looks like it’ll probably be fun, but it doesn’t go far enough for me. I’m more of a parkour hardliner now than I ever have been, haha.
@@jcers i understand you. Even after everything, parkour can get frustrating some days. About Mirage, I have minimum hopes, even though I won't lie that I'm hyped. As for parkour, I don't expect the series to be as deep as even Unity, so it's easier on me
Yeah I meant that the game is responsive and precise once you get the hang of it comfortable, not R2 + X to win comfortable Beautiful ejects btw. And that music...
Love the video description. "Easy to learn AND to master" is honestly BAD, it's basically denying every hope that the system could have some sort of depth. If it's easy to master, there's no skill gap. If there REALLY is no skill gap, the system is literally valhalla on steroids. I swear the only thing that i'm glad we've seen so far is new vaulting animations for small obstacles, kinda remind me of AC3.
Me when I return to my roots
The only true return to AC's roots happens when you boot up one of the old games again
And then you rooted all over the place
I know this is not happening but imagine if mirage actually had the manual control of the old games these comments would age so badly
@@mizzix there is very little that would make me happier than being wrong about this subject
I just noticed your profile pic. A silent hill fan AND an AC fan? You, my good sir, are cultured!
Beautiful 👌🏻
Thank you, James, I appreciate it :D
Excellent momentum & control through one of my favorite Venice Districts, nice work J
Thank you, my man
1:44 that music at the end with the screen fading away 👌. Beautiful work.
Haha, thank you, sir
Something tells me the guards telling you to get down and stop parkouring was foreshadowing instead of a gameplay mechanic.
lmao
Maybe Ezio wasn’t the Prophet after all
my favourite assassins creed game of all time!
LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT
the design, the ambience, the music, the parkour
Everything is so damn perfect about this game, thanks for these videos man!
It brings happiness to all of the viewers out here!
Glad I can bring a smile to you AC2 enjoyers :)

Venice is goated fr

Your parkour is great. I hope Mirage gives you room to maneuver, because if it does.... then I can't wait to see what content you'll be doing with it!
Thanks! However, I must disappoint you. I won’t be playing Mirage.
Satisfying as always. Trying to predict your next movments is my new hobby.
Gotta stay at least one step ahead of y’all’s eyes 👀
After all those years, AC2 parkour is still insanely good (if not the best), both in mechanics and level design.
I would agree. I would personally put AC2 at the top with no contenders, though Brotherhood is obviously very similar.
All we need is AC2 with AC 1 vaulting.

Incredible display of the potencial from the first 4 games parkour
Thank you! Glad my videos are accomplishing their intended purpose, haha
Another briliant ac2 parkour snippet
I appreciate that :)
Lovely stuff, J! I love some of those ascents and expectation subversions.
Jcers begins his “The Last Jedi” arc
@@jcers Lmaoo what if...
How can movement appear so simple back then and yet be unattainable today? Asking for the brotherhood.
Beats the heck out of me.
These are the roots we need to returned to.

skill issue, go practice more. it's pretty good in the old games if you know what you're doing@@ehd3r3hab4
What are your thoughts on the new mirage peek, though?
See video description
now THIS ! is great parkour idk wtf is ubisoft doing with ac mirage
The best they can with the table scraps that the execs have given them to work with
I’m actually glad the devs for mirage said this was more their inspiration for parkour. I can see them pulling this off … people who want all the flashy animations from Unity are gonna be let down. They didn’t have time for all that. THIS they can do with a better designed singular city & simple back/side ejects
This didnt age well
This really didn’t age well 😂
Excellent as always Jcers.
Thank you :D
God everytime I see an ac 2 clip it makes me want to replay it. That's how you know it was a masterpiece.
Ubisoft just said that the parkour in Mirage will be like AC2
I hope that Baghdad will have good parkour elements
This seems very
"comfortable"
Oh man, they are screwing us over with Mirage.
Beautiful gameplay man!

@@jcers spot on!
@@natchu96 exactly, if they decide to retun Low/High Profile back I'll actually be happily surprised. It is one of the core pillars of AC.
Great video J 👑 would love to see some Rogue parkour!
I may try someday with Rogue, but I will not lie to you: the level design for parkour in Rogue is really bad. Like, legit on par with Origins in some circumstances. I’ll see what I can do, though.
@@jcers i like the level design in rogue!

@@natchu96 i disagree, rogue has the perfect blend of building/tree parkour!
The music man…
It do slap
They say return to roots. You say fine I'll do it myself.
True and based
I just played 2 earlier and the parkour in that game is addictive as hell
God, the music...
AC2 feels like it was designed to feel nostalgic on release day
Beautiful showcase Jcers. Ac2 is the parkour high point though even in this game movement has some of that snap/magnetic features which cause ezio to land weirdly on beams when he jumps diagonally.

Great run as usual
Mirage will not even get close to this but people going to lap it up anyway
You are probably right, unfortunately.

excelent. this game is incredible
Thank you! Also, I agree!
This is fricking amazing
Thank you, Fex! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
man i wish AC2 kept the vaulting from the first game...

Do you play without music and add it in post? Such a beautiful run
Excellent choreography, btw, do u play on pc or console and what movement input do you use?
Thanks! I play on PC with a DS4.
Nice one bro, would like to see AC1 next.
Thanks! AC4 is next. Maybe AC1 after that.
If parkour was a liquid, this'd be it
Haha, thank you :D
This area is heavily underrated for parkour
Venice is goated all around tbh
Beautiful outro ❤
Thanks 😊
Brilliant Parkour
Thank you!
she root on my till i return
She be animation cancelling on my side till I eject
I wish there were more new parkour tricks srill the best parkour game
Here’s to hoping you can eject in mirage
Comfort and Fluidity
I would use both of those words to describe AC2’s parkour but I feel that I would define the word “comfort” a lot differently than would most
Yeah I meant that the game is responsive and precise once you get the hang of it comfortable, not R2 + X to win comfortable
Beautiful ejects btw. And that music...
Wow this looks just like mirages parkour 😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺
So true bestie

If it's easy to master, there's no skill gap. If there REALLY is no skill gap, the system is literally valhalla on steroids. I swear the only thing that i'm glad we've seen so far is new vaulting animations for small obstacles, kinda remind me of AC3.
I could do about 70% of this
The level design, the sounds of climbing, wall running and catching a ledge plus the Venice music on top of all of that. 🥲
AC2 is goated for parkour
