I have purchased every Assassin’s Creed game from Assassin’s Creed 2 to Valhalla on both PlayStation and PC. I even bought the Ezio Collection on the Switch. While many people criticize each new Assassin’s Creed release, I’ve been one of the few defenders among the many critics. But even for someone like me, it’s very difficult to support Ubisoft’s decision regarding Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. Why on earth did they make this decision?
@@MarkyMarcSpector Probably doesn't want to play as a Japanese Assassin in an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan. Given their love of the Ezio trilogy they probably wanted to play a European in Japan like Revelations had a European in the Ottoman Empire.

@@Spot-0n Means a lot actually as people who like the trailers(several times that number actually) are far more likely to buy the games and Shadows has about the same amount of prelaunch support as any other AC games and more then some major sellers. I don't deny their is far more hate for this game, but if 150 million people are converted from indifferent and not going to buy the game into hate the game and not going to buy the game then it doesn't change anything and doesn't really matter, if the number of people who like the look of the game and are going to buy the game remain between 7-13 million. For reference Syndicate trailer has 52k likes to only about 2.9k dislikes. But that game flopped not because people hated it but because people weren't interested in it and were indifferent.

@@jamesshuler6302 Since you can't reply in Japanese, I'll answer in English. There’s no evidence of ’Yasuke’'s existence; neither you nor I can confirm it. Wikipedia isn’t reliable, as it has been manipulated by Thomas Lockey, the author of the fictional book African Samurai, who has been caught red-handed editing pages multiple times to support his claims. Even if a Black man from Mozambique did exist during that period, it’s likely he was a servant rather than a Samurai. Becoming a Samurai is a lifelong commitment that starts in childhood; it’s not something you can achieve quickly. I seriously doubt he was more than just a weapon carrier for Nobunaga. Having lived in Japan for over six years, spoken Japanese fluently, and read extensively on various topics, I can confidently say that, as a big fan of Assassin's Creed, I find this to be just nonsense. @jamesshuler6302 さん、日本語での返信が難しいので、英語でお答えいたします。‘弥助’の存在については証拠がなく、私も @jamesshuler6302 さんも確認することはできません。Wikipedia は信頼性に欠ける場合があり、フィクションの本『African Samurai』の著者であるトーマス・ロッキー（Thomas Lockey）が、彼の主張を支持する為にページを何度も編集していたことが分かっています。もしモザンビーク出身の黒人がその時期に実在したとしても、侍ではなく、使用人だった可能性が高いと思われます。侍になる為には、子供の頃から始める生涯にわたる修練が必要で、短期間で達成できるものではありません。そのため、彼が信長の単なる武器運び役以上の存在であったとは考えにくいです。日本に6年以上住み、日本語を流暢に話し、さまざまなトピックについて広く読んできた経験から、アサシン・クリードの大ファンとして、これが単なるナンセンスであると自信を持って申し上げます。
@@btbshk Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Great Unifier of Japan, was not born into the samurai caste either. And whether he was formally granted any official rank, he was a big dude who could fight, and who was given a place as a sword-bearing warrior in Nobunaga's retinue. That's a role that would normally be fulfilled by a samurai. It's weird to split hairs over this in a franchise that is willing to be a bit looser about history to tell better stories, especially since this is one of the least loose elements of it.
@rexs.5188 I remember when the first game came out and watching the devs talk about it, was all about they wanted to be historically accurate as possible....now we have this.
@@ISGAMINGFORNERDS the black samurai never existed. researcher who claimed this got fired because there was no evidence and his own paper cited by his own work that was never sanctioned or published. if anything, Yasuke is most likely a pet or a butler. Even putting Oda's family crest on his armor is disrespectful and I doubt they even asked for the family's permission. literally ubisoft is screaming f u to Japanese culture.
@@ISGAMINGFORNERDS Iam sure that will save this game tell all your friend to buy the game otherwise ubisoft will get bought out and gutted like a fish :D I cant wiat for people that created this mess to get fired tbh imagine the crying on social media "But how comes we were let go for creating bs nobody wants?!?!?!?"
@@gamegeek9220 doesnt have anything to do with "japanese writers" the org didnt even hire one if im not wrong, like in the room with oda nobunaga.. the rankings of his retainers is fully wrong depicted, that just shows that they have 0 knowledge of this time period, if they did have, then they would hire a japanese advisor for historical accuracy
Ubisoft, you still have time before release... You guys can postpone and change the main protagonist to native Japanese, such as Hattori Hanzō for example, it's just make sense... Listen to your customers and you will be fine..
Good news, the main character is native Japanese, her name is Naoe and she has a hidden blade and focus on stealth and traversal to make her a true assassin in this Assassin's Creed game.
Now there are black guys in japan and magic and cringey female protagonists spouting nonsense about being a shadow that serves the light. And when you buy an assassins creed game one of the first quests is to go and collect flowers for some street vendor, who speaks to you as if you’re 5 years old. The voice acting is horrible.
@@InkyHelmSupporting characters have had historical accuracy with a grain of salt. That's been the whole series. They take real world concepts and make them a bit more absurd. But NEVER with main characters. They aren't supposed to be real, or based on anything. Nobody should know who they are. So yes, that's a pretty reasonable line to draw. You clearly don't understand the series.
@@JustSomeKittenwithaGun YOU clearly dont understand the series. first things first, nobody said this rule about main characters. second, they are trying a new thing. third, yasuke is famous in the pop culture. four, we have almost nothing about yasuke in real life, he prolly isnt even real, so its perfect to create a story, just how pop culture does. five, its a game of fiction, ancient philosophers with eden pieces, pope with eden pieces, earthquake... six, we all know this is not the point, nobody would be mad if it was a japanese in african territory, just like we had edward, a british, in caribbean seas
@@JustSomeKittenwithaGun Oh okay so it’s only a problem if the main characters are what? Based on real people? Because if they aren’t supposed to be based on real people then there’s still not an issue with the main character being black because it doesn’t matter if the main character is or isn’t historically accurate
@@MRZEdits exactly dude, im Asian but if Yasuke really exist and if he is not famous that will be a good opportunity for the game because thats what the hidden ones are all about the world does not know their existense...Yasuke might do some nasty job in real life, even though he is just a servant...who know??? 😅😅😅😅....to be honest they overhate assasins creed nowadays...
The trailer is fire, but mixing samurai with assassins feels like putting sushi on a pizza-not a deal breaker, but come on, guys! Remember Assassin's Creed 1? Pure OG vibes that I still wanna replay. Now it’s like y’all said, ‘Let’s make Ghost of Assassin’s Creed Sushi Wars.’ Cool trailer though, 10/10 would still rage-quit.
Rassurez vous , cette folie cessera bien un jour. En tant que Français je me joins à vous dans le dégoût d'une telle propagande.. La Culture japonaise est trop grande pour pouvoir être ainsi souillée.
Jeg føler med deg på dette ettersom de gjør det samme med min historie og kultur i film, tv og spill med eksempler som Heimdal, Angerboda og Valkyrie. Vi får stemme med lommebøkene våre og aldri kjøpe disse produktene. Når de taper nok penger så vil det forsvinne!
It's hypocritical double standard for those who criticize Japanese people for wearing braids or dreads to then rewrite history by calling an actual servant the "first Black samurai," trampling on Asian pride.
Unfortunately and very sadly, the assassin creed game was completely destroyed. What a pity for Altair, Ezio ,Connor,and kenway.(Prestige, manhood, chivalry, glory and legend) We are sorry for what happened to the story.
UBISOFT is from france yeah but this game is done by america ppl,make some research from quebec quebec is not france they speak french but they are not
Ubisoft really hates female protagonists. They probably intentionally added Yasuke because of their increasing fear that fans will complain about having to play as GIRL.
Right. I mean it seems like this could work if they make playing a the girl more like the classic ac games and the guys gameplay more like odyssey Valhalla.
In an interview with the Japanese gaming media, the developer said, "We wanted our own samurai, so we chose Yasuke." That part was deleted this morning.
Yasuke was not a Samurai, just an attendant and barely spoke Japanese and was likely only in Japan for about 2 years. Yasuke surrendered to save his life.
Now Assassin's Creed like：Syndicate (main Indian character) => Origins (black) => Odyssey (blackened Greeks and Romans) => Boring Viking Barbarian game => Black samurai conquered Japanhaha, I definitely don't Will buy genuine, fk ub
Ubisoft is so scared right now that they've resorted to using a bot program to boost positive comments.

“Прятаться у всех на виду” - темнокожий мужчина ростом 196 см в Японии... Японцы смотрят на него снизу вверх и думают: "Ну уж этот точно не ниндзя!" А он ниндзя! Лучшая из маскировок, я считаю.
Jonathan from Ubisoft responded to famitsu in Japan saying, "For Yasuke, first of all, we were looking for a character who could be seen by us as a 'samurai', that is, someone who is not Japanese." This means that if the main character is Japanese, they can't empathize with him. And today, they quietly removed this sentence.
of course they removed it, it's bullshit after all. Who empathized with an Arab in the first game? or a Tuscan macho in the 2nd? or a half Native american in the 3rd? or a drunkard Welsh in 4th/black flag? it's not about their culture or upbringing. It's about a good, believable story. If a black samurai was really real, nobody would have a problem with it. Guess they just want to please all the black weebs in good ol'murica, instead of showing accuracy of Nobunaga's pet. Remember when they removed the crossbow for historical accuracy?
As an Asian who has been clamouring for two decades to play in an Asian setting, I can't wait to play as a black man!!! I am sure in 15 years when Ubishit releases AC: Mayan I will get to play as an Asian male!

@@BLZclan740Mf black people always try to find validation in other people culture. I wonder why there barely any game that has african setting that is not about the wildlife
It is said that it is difficult for Westerners to empathize with an Asian protagonist, so they chose to cast a black character. That's what the producer said, is it true? No matter what country the story is set in, it's fun to be able to become the ethnic group of that country and immerse yourself in that country's worldview. I'm Japanese, but when I play a game about an African kingdom, I definitely don't want the main character to be Japanese.
@@tempestsquall5882 OP talked about how the producer said that it was difficult for Westerners to empathize with Asian protagonists, and asked if that was true. I simply gave an example of where that was false. I agree with what op is saying and gave evidence

@@なつ-v9s In the USA, there is a tendency to glorify black people in every possible way, and there is also a fashion for Japanese culture. ubisoft, being a commercial company, came up with an ingenious solution to combine these two trends in its game.

it's rooted in the history of their fear for the east. they dont want to promote the masculinity of their "enemies" especially when these are the men who will engage in the imaginary physical conflict with them
@@marblehelios932atleast they were the same race and wore clothing more appropriate for the era. Robes were extremely common for most of history. Try again lmao
@@dogestranding5047 Also, the studio Sucker Punch had a set of decency to show the actual gameplays when releasing trailers while this one has none. And Ubisoft have the audacity to tell us to pre-order it now.
This is ridiculous. You can never expect a game to reflect real history. The Japanese are criticizing it for the sake of idleness. This is not racism. In my opinion, it is just an exaggeration of a character who is a slave. Since it is such a game, these are mentioned and in my opinion, it is very good. If they have established the story perfectly, it is very good in my opinion. I hope the game has a good release
More stats for you to know, Assassin's Creed Valhalla over 10 million units sold, over a billion dollars revenue. It's trailer on IGN has 20.3 million views and 442k likes, on Ubisoft North America, 9.4 million views, 325k likes, Assassin's Creed Shadow's Ubisoft trailer 9.2 million views, 293k likes. It would seem that despite pissing off massively more people it has almost as much positive interest as Valhalla, so perhaps 70%-90% of sales and money made.

you’re aware that Yasuke is a real historic figure and is widely known as the only black and first non-japanese samurai… this isn’t just some publicity thing
@@icarusfromuk There is no reliable information that Yasuke existed and that he was a samurai, if you have looked at the information on the wiki, there is recently created false information by Ubisoft themselves
@@icarusfromuk I'm Japanese, and I'm using translation, so the sentences may change. Yasuke was indeed a subordinate of Oda Nobunaga, but there is no historical record that he was a samurai.Also, Yasuke surrendered without protecting Oda Nobunaga during the Honnoji Incident.He has no pride as a subordinate, and I am not a black man. I don't have any complaints, but the depictions and settings that can be seen as discrimination against Japanese people are completely unacceptable.
if you’re basing your only evidence off of wikipedia i’m not gonna waste my breath, there’s countless accounts of “Yasuke” existing in old texts which is documented by big history organisations and authors. while his name may not have been “Yasuke”, there are many records of a dark skinned warrior serving under Oda Nobunaga who was not native to japan.
Sadly, some people here (occident) like to have fantasms like a "powerful black samourai" and don't care about the rest, historically, and others culture... All my support to Japan, and every glorious samourais that have existed. PS: dont ever buy this craps...
Do you even know the context of that sentence or are you just throwing it around to stir the pot? Read what he was actually talking about and it makes perfect sense. No one cares if you're going to boycott the game because you intentionally misinterpret what was said by some executive. This is like the "Quit having fun" meme
@@MasterTiccuI did read the entire interview. And what about you? Do you know how many games sold by Ubisoft were taken out from their libraries so people that bought them won't be able to download or even play them anymore?
@@MasterTiccu "One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That's a transformation that's been a bit slower to happen [in games]. As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect… you don't lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That's not been deleted. You don't lose what you've built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game. As people embrace that [streaming] model, they will see that these games will exist, the service will continue, and you'll be able to access them when you feel like. That's reassuring." I believe that is the full quote. I do understand what he is saying but think about this way. Subscription services rely on constant power, constant internet access. What if the internet dies suddenly? What if we have no power? What if Ubisoft states "Y'know. We're just going to kill our old games so you cannot access them anymore." It has been done and it will keep happening. Preservation is key here. Subscription services is only focused on consumption of entertainment, not the preservation of art. That is the real problem here. These games are not made in a vacuum. Real people with real lives spend months to years building these games for people to enjoy and the powers-that-be only see dollar signs and nothing else. When we only care to consume and not to preserve and learn from our experiences, we slowly lose our humanity.
A real shame that so many people wanted an AC in Japan for so many years and this is what we get. And for them to use the AC2 theme at the end of this trailer is insane. They don’t deserve to be able to use that anymore.
The most heroic thing about this trailer is that they left the comments open.

日本の皆様、東京都住みの外国人です。私は日本の歴史や文化に深い敬意を持っていますが、Ubisoftが作った最新のゲームは本当に歴史や文化の搾取だと感じます。身長190センチの黒人が日本の戦国時代にいるなんて、あり得ないし、すごく奇妙に感じます。この"専門家"たちは、まるでWikipediaのページを編集して歴史を捏造し、この狂気を正当化しようとしているかのようです。
Yasuke was a real person.
@@jamesshuler6302 Since you can't reply in Japanese, I'll answer in English. There’s no evidence of ’Yasuke’'s existence; neither you nor I can confirm it. Wikipedia isn’t reliable, as it has been manipulated by Thomas Lockey, the author of the fictional book African Samurai, who has been caught red-handed editing pages multiple times to support his claims. Even if a Black man from Mozambique did exist during that period, it’s likely he was a servant rather than a Samurai. Becoming a Samurai is a lifelong commitment that starts in childhood; it’s not something you can achieve quickly. I seriously doubt he was more than just a weapon carrier for Nobunaga. Having lived in Japan for over six years, spoken Japanese fluently, and read extensively on various topics, I can confidently say that, as a big fan of Assassin's Creed, I find this to be just nonsense.
@jamesshuler6302 さん、日本語での返信が難しいので、英語でお答えいたします。‘弥助’の存在については証拠がなく、私も @jamesshuler6302 さんも確認することはできません。Wikipedia は信頼性に欠ける場合があり、フィクションの本『African Samurai』の著者であるトーマス・ロッキー（Thomas Lockey）が、彼の主張を支持する為にページを何度も編集していたことが分かっています。もしモザンビーク出身の黒人がその時期に実在したとしても、侍ではなく、使用人だった可能性が高いと思われます。侍になる為には、子供の頃から始める生涯にわたる修練が必要で、短期間で達成できるものではありません。そのため、彼が信長の単なる武器運び役以上の存在であったとは考えにくいです。日本に6年以上住み、日本語を流暢に話し、さまざまなトピックについて広く読んできた経験から、アサシン・クリードの大ファンとして、これが単なるナンセンスであると自信を持って申し上げます。
@@btbshk あんたみたいな人がいるなら、京都もまだ捨てたもんじゃねーな
@@btbshk Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Great Unifier of Japan, was not born into the samurai caste either. And whether he was formally granted any official rank, he was a big dude who could fight, and who was given a place as a sword-bearing warrior in Nobunaga's retinue. That's a role that would normally be fulfilled by a samurai. It's weird to split hairs over this in a franchise that is willing to be a bit looser about history to tell better stories, especially since this is one of the least loose elements of it.

@@JustSomeKittenwithaGun Oh okay so it’s only a problem if the main characters are what? Based on real people?

私は日本人です。
結論から言いますと、弥助は実在していたと思いますが、侍ではありませんでした。
日本の歴史の授業では、弥助は宣教師に奴隷として日本に連れてこられ、その黒い肌を面白がった信長が下級の家臣（信長の荷物を持つ係）として迎え入れることにしたと教えられます。
信長は珍しいものが大好きで、他人の頭蓋骨に金メッキを貼り付けた黄金の頭蓋骨や、西洋から伝わった地球儀などを手に入れては周囲に見せて自慢していました。
おそらく、弥助も信長のコレクションのひとつだった可能性が高いです。
また、弥助の絵が一枚だけ発見されましたが、彼はいかにも当時の西洋人の格好をしており、どう見ても侍ではありません。刀すら持っていませんでした。
弥助が戦で活躍したというなら、具体的にどの戦いでどう活躍したのか言ってみてください。言えませんよね？
だってどの文献にも弥助が戦ったなんて記述はありませんから。
信長が本能寺の変で亡くなり、弥助は明智光秀に無抵抗で降伏したことで、光秀に「この男は武士どころか人でもない、ただの獣だ」と馬鹿にして、弥助を生かしたままにしました。
もしも弥助が強くて戦で活躍していれば、生かしておいたら危ないと言って斬るか、部下に勧誘していたはずです。
そして何よりも弥助が侍ではない決定的な証拠は、彼には家名、つまり苗字が無いことです。
通常、戦で活躍した武士は主君から褒美として苗字と領地を貰えますが、弥助にはどちらもありませんでした。
なので彼が戦で活躍したことは一度も無いと断言できます。
弥助は侍で、信長に信頼されていたと勘違いしてる可哀想な人には、「でも弥助は苗字が無いよね」と言いましょう。それだけで論破できるぐらい、苗字が無いことは決定的な証拠です。
最後に、私たち日本人は今作に関して怒っている人がたくさんいますが、それは弥助が日本が舞台のゲームで主人公だからではありません。
ゲーム開発者が「弥助は実在した伝説の黒人侍」などと嘘をついて偏った思想を優先し、私たちの国の歴史を改竄しようとしてるからです。
ゲーム開発者が「弥助は本当は侍ではなくただの荷物持ちだったが、ゲームの中では侍という設定にした」と最初に言っていれば、何も問題はありませんでした。

it's rooted in the history of their fear for the east. they dont want to promote the masculinity of their "enemies" especially when these are the men who will engage in the imaginary physical conflict with them

この作品は本当の文化盗用と人種差別についての意味を教えてくれた。とても悲しい…
This is ridiculous. You can never expect a game to reflect real history. The Japanese are criticizing it for the sake of idleness. This is not racism. In my opinion, it is just an exaggeration of a character who is a slave. Since it is such a game, these are mentioned and in my opinion, it is very good. If they have established the story perfectly, it is very good in my opinion. I hope the game has a good release

あなたの考えでは弥助は日本で最強であった伝説的な侍なのだろう😂ですが史実は違います🤣
@@user-giantkilling-soda あなたがそこに書いたことは実際には事実ではありません。 何が真実で何が嘘なのか完全にはわかりませんが、彼は戦いにも参加しました。
@@Arkham-Semeaxそれは不正確な理解です。史料に残っているのは「信長が弥助を連れて行った」記録であり、「弥助が戦場で戦った」記録はイレギュラーな暗殺現場である本能寺の変を除き一つとして残っていません。 反対に、弥助が侍扱いされていなかった証拠は残っています。彼は唯一の「従軍」記録である上記甲州征伐で恩賞を得ていません。 弥助が信長の側近から人間扱いされていなかった記録も残っています。本能寺の変後に捕縛された弥助を明智光秀は「物の分からぬ獣」と見なし、一切の咎を問うことなくただ放逐しました。「敵対士族」に対しての処遇としてはあり得ない措置です。 現代的な倫理観からすると非常に問題がありますが、これは16世紀の日本における歴史です。

@@30-06Loverthey started when black rock, vanguard and the new generation of developers took over.
Current state is 293k likes, 554k dislikes
More stats for you to know, Assassin's Creed Valhalla over 10 million units sold, over a billion dollars revenue. It's trailer on IGN has 20.3 million views and 442k likes, on Ubisoft North America, 9.4 million views, 325k likes, Assassin's Creed Shadow's Ubisoft trailer 9.2 million views, 293k likes. It would seem that despite pissing off massively more people it has almost as much positive interest as Valhalla, so perhaps 70%-90% of sales and money made.

you’re aware that Yasuke is a real historic figure and is widely known as the only black and first non-japanese samurai… this isn’t just some publicity thing
@@icarusfromuk There is no reliable information that Yasuke existed and that he was a samurai, if you have looked at the information on the wiki, there is recently created false information by Ubisoft themselves
@@icarusfromuk
I'm Japanese, and I'm using translation, so the sentences may change.
Yasuke was indeed a subordinate of Oda Nobunaga, but there is no historical record that he was a samurai.Also, Yasuke surrendered without protecting Oda Nobunaga during the Honnoji Incident.He has no pride as a subordinate, and I am not a black man. I don't have any complaints, but the depictions and settings that can be seen as discrimination against Japanese people are completely unacceptable.
if you’re basing your only evidence off of wikipedia i’m not gonna waste my breath, there’s countless accounts of “Yasuke” existing in old texts which is documented by big history organisations and authors. while his name may not have been “Yasuke”, there are many records of a dark skinned warrior serving under Oda Nobunaga who was not native to japan.

"It's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game"
Tremblay, Philippe - Ubisoft executive
Do you even know the context of that sentence or are you just throwing it around to stir the pot? Read what he was actually talking about and it makes perfect sense. No one cares if you're going to boycott the game because you intentionally misinterpret what was said by some executive. This is like the "Quit having fun" meme
@@MasterTiccuI did read the entire interview. And what about you? Do you know how many games sold by Ubisoft were taken out from their libraries so people that bought them won't be able to download or even play them anymore?
@@himetex What happened bro please explain
@@MasterTiccu "One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That's a transformation that's been a bit slower to happen [in games]. As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect… you don't lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That's not been deleted. You don't lose what you've built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game. As people embrace that [streaming] model, they will see that these games will exist, the service will continue, and you'll be able to access them when you feel like. That's reassuring."
I believe that is the full quote. I do understand what he is saying but think about this way. Subscription services rely on constant power, constant internet access. What if the internet dies suddenly? What if we have no power? What if Ubisoft states "Y'know. We're just going to kill our old games so you cannot access them anymore." It has been done and it will keep happening. Preservation is key here. Subscription services is only focused on consumption of entertainment, not the preservation of art. That is the real problem here. These games are not made in a vacuum. Real people with real lives spend months to years building these games for people to enjoy and the powers-that-be only see dollar signs and nothing else. When we only care to consume and not to preserve and learn from our experiences, we slowly lose our humanity.
