If they have any brains left after AC Mirage, they'd make Basim into new Desmond. Dude literally has charm, cunning, wit and ruthless nature as a Master Assassin who can actually lead the modern day Assassins that are struggling against Templars for decades now. But knowing Ubisoft, that will never happen.
Valhalla definitely set up Basim as the direction for future modern-day story, but I'm counting on Desmond's eventual return - via a shroud of Eden, maybe?
@GrandDefenestrator As far as I remember, she came back in a clone or something like that and was immediately killed by Elijah. (I hate you ubisoft for concluding her story in a fucking comic)
I really liked what black flag did with the modern day. The use of perspective does its job to put you in the eyes of the modern day protagonist (voiceless which reminds me of classic Valve games) who is reliving Edward’s past in third person. Unity takes it one step further but does not execute well. I like the idea that I AM the modern day initiate lending my services to the Brotherhood, but it just didn’t stick.
@ oh really? That sounds kind of cool. I thought infinity would just be like an animus HUD like in ac1, where you select the memory(AC game) that you want to synchronize. Of course they don’t use the words memory and synchronize anymore, but I’m pretty optimistic now.
Honestly I’m just hoping Ubisoft do something with basim he have the charismatic charm and he’s so cunning and devious a manipulator i really like him in Valhalla when they first introduce him an when I found out he was the reincarnation of loki I was shock and fell in love with his character he’s so complex
I'm very curious how they intend to connect the Loki/Basim situation with the necessity to explore memories from feudal Japan. I'm quite concerned about this 'cause basically, Basim is precisely that Desmond Miles able to time travel, with peak Assassin skills combined with an Isu nature. They simply cannot discharge him as it means nothing for the future of the modern lore. There's a god-like Assassin out there menacing the empire of the Abstergo.
I haven't seen the video yet but man after that modern day ending of Valhalla they should continue exactly where it left off! it would be criminal if they dont.
@BPRGaming I don't mind cliff hangers like the one in valhalla, but I hate how they just leave it there. It's crazy how there was no modern day at all in Mirage.
I haven't seen the video yet, but man, after the valhalla modern day ending, I really wanna know where the story goes from here. I'll be very upset if they forget about basim. That concept of him in the modern day is so cool.
For me, I won't care about the modern day stuff UNLESS there's a compelling link between the modern and the past for the player. Eg. The more you progress through the past storylines, the more you can progress through the modern one. They need to be linked in a way that affects gameplay, otherwise I'm not interested. Just leave it out or have it as an extra piece of lore in another medium or something. Maybe as an extra narrative feature accessible in the menu. Ultimately, we play AC to be transported to another era and culture to become and assassin of that time. I'm done walking around reading emails.
*Layla was pretty good in Origins.* She felt organic and she made sense for that world and could’ve had more potential… but they failed to make her interesting and she just felt tacked on in the other games
For real man valhallas modern day ending was absolutely insane when I first played it. And the whole concept around basim is amazing. An isu reincarnation who was born almost 2000 years ago in the modern day.
Desmond was supposed to be the ultimate assassin..they shouldn't have ended his story to soon ...of course they ruin Juno story as well ..on a comic!? Would be cool if The Reader (Desmond) and Layla on a animus together in this Game imagine that rather one person exploring the memory also desmond controlling the other character ..
I want it back for sure I want to have the little missions like on ac3. Also I realized we’ve never defeated the modern day templars I feel this should be the game
You all seem quick to forget how much Desmond was hated when he was the main ac protagonist. The modern day was never good or at least never liked. No wonder ubi dropped it
Without the modern day segments, these games would have no weight. They would just be random adventure games. The modern day ties them all together. They need to wrap up the modern day story and end the series. I know theyre trying to milk the series for all its worth, but ypu need an endgame in the modern day and one final game that revolves 80% in the modern day to finish the series. Because at the end of the day Assassins Creed is about 2 groups in the 21st century viewing their ancestors lives in the past to find lost information that will help their side win this millenia old war. That is what the series has always been about. But Ubisoft got greedy and lost their way
I prefer Layla over Desmond but the best protagonist was me in black flag and rouge they should go back to that make the player be the modern day assassin or Templar
Killing Desmond was the start of the downfall of AC. Changing the gameplay formula from Unity and Syndicate, which imo was the peak of gameplay of AC, was the 2nd biggest mistake. In the past every time i heard any news related to AC i was so hyped. Now, i dont even bother to look at it cuz there isnt a single drop of hype in me for this franchise anymore. I shouldn't have been surprised since Ubisoft also butchered Watch dogs
ubisolft panicking n they think Desmond save whole franchises. But i think its little to late for that, n there gonna fuck it all up. They had a chance bring back Desmond after AC Syndicate. After Templars got golden shroud that could revive anything n you can see the Templars were clearly cloning Desmond n using his DNA but cloning wasn't working until they got the shroud. I though they was gonna continue story-line but they didn't n gave us AC Origins with Layla.
Never liked the modern day stories. There was never anything about them that felt engaging. It was just cool to see the bleeding effect where Desmond could learn abilities from the Animus. Shaun Hastings was insufferable. The only thing I liked about Layla as she felt a bit more Indiana Jones. An modern day archaeologist would be so much better.
They are already pretty boring. The story when Desmond was alive was incredibly well written. Now, the story/writing is mediocre at best. The only reason to play AC now is for the gameplay and Ubisoft has, somehow, butchered it little by little as we see with Odyssey and Valhalla.
Understandable, but for example, since Pirates Flag, they went out of hand. It wasn't even a real Assassin's Creed for some of us, and ironically, 2 games later with Rogue, a lot of people complained bc they saw it as a copy-paste of black flag, when the story happens mostly on the other side with the Templars and Shay, being firstly an Assassin just to being left to dead by those who he considered his family, that's why I say it was ironically, a Templar being a real Assassin instead of a Pirate that just became one to left the deep hole which Edward was in. Then they released Unity and Syndicate, both great games and good Assassin's Creed. Then they released RPG after RPG after RPG, and all of them, since Origins to Mirage, they feel so monotone, say what y'all want, each of them were in their respective historical times and even so, all of feel so similar and boring at the end of the day. I preferred Read Dead Redemption 2, and my perspective on realistic ames will never be the same, fortunately. Whoever reads this, thank you.
@@boomboom9065 the problem with modern AC games, is that the story and writing is bad af and isnt compelling. It doesnt captivate the player. In the old AC games, the olayer was captivated by the story and wanted to know what would happen next. The game captivated the olayer mainly using the story, not just the gameplay. In modern AC games, its the opposite. They try to captivate the players using the gameplay instead of the story. The problem with that is, that the old gameplay was already good and in games like Black flag, Unity, and Syndicate, the gameplay was phenomenal and many people fell in love with those games because of it (aside from the story ofc). But in the new AC games the gameplay formula, while it isnt bad, it isnt great either. And you cant help but miss the old gameplay. And to top it all of, the current story/writing is mediocre at best so the games are even less appealing (for players who have played the older games anyway). I would say Origins is the only one of the modern AC games that was actually pretty good and had a decent story, the rest were mid.
Modern day is an essential part of any true assassin's creed game. Even unity (which had the least modern stuff back in the old days) had a strong presence of the modern day story.
@ idc that shit sucks, it’s boring, it slows down my progression and all I ever do is skip thru it. If y’all wanna let nostalgia run y’all just bc y’all miss Desmond or Ezio, that’s on you
@@Mondiale78 why are you so rude about fans who like the modern day? If you wanna speedrun the game and you can't cope with the modern day stuff, then go play any other historic adventure game. Assassin's creed has always been about the past and present together. You don't deserve to change that just because you weren't around in the early days of the franchise.
Do not want it back. When I played my first AC game( Ac origins) I was like WTH is this why am I being taken out of the history. Same as when I played AC 3 I was like omg just let me play as Connor stop taking me out of the animus. If you have modern day make it optional.
Just bring desmond back with either the staff or the cloak... Dropped the cloak storyline last gen but it seemed to be leading to desmond coming back as a Messiah character but then they just dropped it in favour for Layla (which no one liked because she was annoying and whiny)
They made mirage for all the ppl who kept cryin and complaining about not liking the RPG trilogy…even tho most of those same ppl claim Blkflag is their favorite…and that was ALSO an RPG
The present days story sucks ever since AC2, si basically for ever Ubisoft never managed to make this story interesting, probably because it was never meant to drag on for so many episodes in the first place, and personally I completely stopped paying attention as early as Brotherhood I kinda like what they tried to do in AC4, but it ultimately failed as well, and at this point I was very much advocating for the complete removal of the present days storyline
Odyssey kill the morden day story line by terrible writing, but Valhalla saved it, probably,if shadow writing as bad as Odyssey, than we'll see morden day story line gone to shit again.😂😂😂😂If that so don't know which game will save it this time tho
This makes no sense. If they wanted to go back to history then why the main characters are black and a female. That is something that is historically incorrect.
Ok im just going to say im a supporter of ACshadows but the modern day is going to suck, i say this because before the delay they said they where not going to have a modern day then post delay they say there will be which means to me the modern day eas written, acted, and animated all within the time of the delay
There is no way the modern story will be good in ac shadows here is my reasoning Pre delay: "we will focus on history in this game and have no traditional modern day" Post delay: "we will have a modern day different than the other rpg games fallowing a new protagonist" What this means to me is the modern day is last second and written, acted, and animated only within the time of delay, Also the "assassins creed went down bill with the rpgs" both origins and valhalla are two of the best selling games in the franchise despite all the hate they got, im going to say this AC shadows is one an rpg so it will cator twords those fans, its based in japan so it will gain the attention of weebs (which is already has as almost all yhe haters are white dudes who are obsessed with japanese media), and its going back to the templar/assassin naritive which will attract OG ac fans, and it will be a graphical, gameplay and story master piece so people will play it for that reason to not to mention we have been waiting over a decade for a japanese ac gameso that will attract those who waited

If they have any brains left after AC Mirage, they'd make Basim into new Desmond. Dude literally has charm, cunning, wit and ruthless nature as a Master Assassin who can actually lead the modern day Assassins that are struggling against Templars for decades now.
But knowing Ubisoft, that will never happen.
I kinda agree. But I think there’s too much going on with him not only having the ancestor to visit. But also having a first civ member in his head 😅
They really have no choice after vahalla unless they completely disregard what happened at the end of the game.
Valhalla definitely set up Basim as the direction for future modern-day story, but I'm counting on Desmond's eventual return - via a shroud of Eden, maybe?
The problem is that his body has been destroyed. Maybe they will clone him and put his conciseness in the new body.
@iv9496 So was Juno's. 👀
@GrandDefenestrator As far as I remember, she came back in a clone or something like that and was immediately killed by Elijah. (I hate you ubisoft for concluding her story in a fucking comic)
I want it back. I want to beat back the Templars who have the massive advantage in this fight since the year 2000.
I agree 💯
Pretty sure it was longer than that
I really liked what black flag did with the modern day. The use of perspective does its job to put you in the eyes of the modern day protagonist (voiceless which reminds me of classic Valve games) who is reliving Edward’s past in third person. Unity takes it one step further but does not execute well. I like the idea that I AM the modern day initiate lending my services to the Brotherhood, but it just didn’t stick.
Yea from what I hear for AC infinity it’ll be a mix of both letting us create our own protagonist yet be in third person so should be interesting.
@ oh really? That sounds kind of cool. I thought infinity would just be like an animus HUD like in ac1, where you select the memory(AC game) that you want to synchronize. Of course they don’t use the words memory and synchronize anymore, but I’m pretty optimistic now.
I wonder if we see Basim in AC Shadows
Honestly I’m just hoping Ubisoft do something with basim he have the charismatic charm and he’s so cunning and devious a manipulator i really like him in Valhalla when they first introduce him an when I found out he was the reincarnation of loki I was shock and fell in love with his character he’s so complex
I'm very curious how they intend to connect the Loki/Basim situation with the necessity to explore memories from feudal Japan. I'm quite concerned about this 'cause basically, Basim is precisely that Desmond Miles able to time travel, with peak Assassin skills combined with an Isu nature. They simply cannot discharge him as it means nothing for the future of the modern lore. There's a god-like Assassin out there menacing the empire of the Abstergo.
I agree. I really hope they don’t just get rid off his story. It was set up pretty well in Valhalla and explained well in Mirage.
Please use periods.
I am just glad that the modern-day is getting focused on again, they have a lot of work to do to make it as good as it was, great video man :)
I haven't seen the video yet but man after that modern day ending of Valhalla they should continue exactly where it left off! it would be criminal if they dont.
I at least hope they give it an ending. And not just leave it hanging.
@BPRGaming I don't mind cliff hangers like the one in valhalla, but I hate how they just leave it there. It's crazy how there was no modern day at all in Mirage.
Nolan North after teasing fans: “I should’ve kept my mouth shut 👁️👄👁️”
😂
What did he do?
I haven't seen the video yet, but man, after the valhalla modern day ending, I really wanna know where the story goes from here. I'll be very upset if they forget about basim. That concept of him in the modern day is so cool.
I think its good the modern day world. It works. I want to know what happens with basim and layla and the reader.
If you think it’s assassin Creed without present day story you weren’t there for the original
The last good AC game was Black Flag, the games after didn’t hit the same 😢
For me, I won't care about the modern day stuff UNLESS there's a compelling link between the modern and the past for the player. Eg. The more you progress through the past storylines, the more you can progress through the modern one. They need to be linked in a way that affects gameplay, otherwise I'm not interested.

She was extremely bland. Desmond should of carried on the franchise for the modern day.
Of course the modern day is going to be back, the modern day is part of assassins creed, wether people like it or not
Desmond could’ve had a bleeding effect that worked while fighting rivals of the past who basically possessed by people he killed in the animus
6:48 thats actually very impressive ragdoll..even his feets kicks up
I hope they won´t forget Basim
For real man valhallas modern day ending was absolutely insane when I first played it. And the whole concept around basim is amazing. An isu reincarnation who was born almost 2000 years ago in the modern day.
Id like to see a deeper modern day where you actually have a map and missions.
Actual relevant information starts at 5:27
Desmond was supposed to be the ultimate assassin..they shouldn't have ended his story to soon ...of course they ruin Juno story as well ..on a comic!?
Would be cool if The Reader (Desmond) and Layla on a animus together in this Game imagine that rather one person exploring the memory also desmond controlling the other character ..

I want it back for sure I want to have the little missions like on ac3. Also I realized we’ve never defeated the modern day templars I feel this should be the game
AC died when they killed Desmond
I miss that man
No it didn’t but the modern day did die with Desmond, black flag is still peak Ac
I agree...... But ac mirage giving me some old vibes of the assassins creed framchise
Oh well!! I love the current AC!!!
No it didn’t
Fack Desmond, and he was supposed to dir much sooner anyway
0:50 saddest shit before aurthur morgan and after john marston
Ubisoft dropped the ball by not making an open world RPG with Darius in Persia, Ngl
You all seem quick to forget how much Desmond was hated when he was the main ac protagonist. The modern day was never good or at least never liked. No wonder ubi dropped it
I always hated the idea that Desmond would become a time traveller so I'm happy they didn't do that
That’s fair enough. It probably would’ve been within his mind though 🤔
AWESOME Ac
We'll see. Don't sing victory yet.

I didn't even like the modern-day stuff. i felt like it just took you out of the story of the assassin you were playing at the time.
Really? Even when it was implemented with some of the historical stuff in AC1/2
Ah so we'll have a black Yakusa member then?
This makes no sense. If they wanted to go back to history then why the main characters are black and a female. That is something that is historically incorrect.

more cutscenes for me to skip...
Good thing I won't be buying this garbage. WOKE games will fail.
There is no way the modern story will be good in ac shadows here is my reasoning
Pre delay: "we will focus on history in this game and have no traditional modern day"
Post delay: "we will have a modern day different than the other rpg games fallowing a new protagonist"
What this means to me is the modern day is last second and written, acted, and animated only within the time of delay,
Also the "assassins creed went down bill with the rpgs" both origins and valhalla are two of the best selling games in the franchise despite all the hate they got, im going to say this AC shadows is one an rpg so it will cator twords those fans, its based in japan so it will gain the attention of weebs (which is already has as almost all yhe haters are white dudes who are obsessed with japanese media), and its going back to the templar/assassin naritive which will attract OG ac fans, and it will be a graphical, gameplay and story master piece so people will play it for that reason to not to mention we have been waiting over a decade for a japanese ac gameso that will attract those who waited
I don't care what they do with this game, as long as there is no Male Japanese MC I won't be playing it.
Assassin's Creed died with Desmond.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla was the best one, in my opinion. Mirage bored me.
Damn really? Did you enjoy the modern day parts as well??
My top 5 is Odyssey, Origins, Valhalla, Unity and Syndicate
