Developer: UBISOFT
Publisher : UBISOFT
Platform(s): NEXT GEN and PC
Release date: October 23rd, 2015 (Xbox One and PS4), Autumn 2015 (PC)

INTRODUCTION:

Set in London in 1868, the game will feature two playable protagonists, twins Jacob and Evie Frye. Jacob is a "more hot headed, brash and rebellious" figure, while his sister Evie is described as "a relentless Assassin" and "a master of stealth".

GAMEPLAY:

The game is single-player only. During the open world experience, players will be able to switch freely between the two characters, while story missions will restrict the choice for narrative reasons. London will consist of six boroughs: Westminster, the Strand, the City of London, Whitechapel, Southwark, and Lambeth. The Thames will also play a prominent role in the game, acting as the major entry and exit point for the beating heart of the Empire.

STORY:

The story meanwhile sees the twins from Crawley heading to the City, as the Industrial Revolution reaches its climax to free the masses from the poverty they suffer and lead an uprising against an oppressive establishment which conceals the Templars. Among your allies will be prominent Victorians, including novelist Charles Dickens and biologist Charles Darwin.

This better be perfectly optimized. But then again I thought that about AC: Black flag and Unity as well. No hope for this game.

Maybe you are from some different universe mate, Blackflag was a joke in the name of optimization.

what !? really ?, I found AC3 to be badly optimized but AC4 ran pretty well.. Ofcourse, it had it's fair share of bugs but framerate was consistent

Black flag and rogue was good with optimization, i didnt have any problems with it.

Unity was the worse. they kept on giving patches/updates one after the other. With the final patch, bugs were less and was able to finish the game without much problem.

- - - Updated - - -

The only thing we all have to make sure is that never to buy any ubisoft game in the first few months... Wait till they are done with all the updates and patches.

Fary cry 4 had 8 patches i think and Unity had 5.

Except the Boston in AC3, the gameplay was smooth.

The only new AC I enjoyed was Rogue ( Except the Ezio trilogy ), one of the reasons being the good optimization and good story.

AC 3 was bad in Boston, and AC unity was puke worthy. Though I might agree that Black flag was better optimized relatively, but it had its fair share of frame rate drops and bad optimizations, for example the vegetation in AC 4 was quite laggy and it lagged like a mother****er when it rained.

Its not like Ubisoft is bad at optimization, they optimized Far Cry 3 and 4 very nicely (Though FC4 needed a patch, but after that it worked quite well on my PC)

Anyways, I've learned that there is no point expecting a good optimization for the AC series, no matter how good Syndicate looks, I know it will be a bad optimization.

Are Assassin's Creed games an over-milked cow? Should Ubisoft stop making more of them or are they still good? - Quora

Yep. You can play AC syndicate directly. No need to play the previous parts as there is no link between the story parts.

You mean the Assassin era wise or Abstergo industries/Animus/Subject-17 storyline itself is missing ?

What about AC:Unity? Critics are praising Syndicate is much better than Unity.

AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations, AC3. AC4 is also good but i got bored of the ship battles in there. Rest i have not played but reviews of the rest of the series were not that good. Though i have heard Syndicate is good. AC1 is too much boring, my advice would be, just play AC1 a little, until one-two assassinations and then just go through the story from wikipedia and then continue to to AC2, Brotherhood and revelations.
IMO, Brotherhood is best among the series.

Played till AC4 and gonna start AC-Rogue. If you wanna follow the story, you've to play from the start.

  1. AC1 was a good breaking game, at that time for its free-running-sandbox gameplay.
  2. AC2 was good in terms of story, music, combat style, various side missions. Ezio was AC's playboy.
  3. ACB introduced the concept of Brotherhood, where you can train assassins, send them to various missions, ask them to aid in your battles following the footsteps of AC2.
  4. ACR basically connects the story of Altair(AC1) and Ezio(AC2) with the bells and whistles of ACB. Running along Istanbul is a visual treat.
  5. AC3 was the weakest link in AC series, but introduced the concept of Naval battles.
  6. AC4 was best known for Naval/Land warfare along with the various expeditions and side missions.

Yet to play the others.

I would suggest AC2, ACB, ACR and AC4. :mrgreen:
