>An unusual teaser in Ubisoft’s loot shooter The Division 2, highlighted weeks after the game’s release, reveals that the next Assassin’s Creed game is all about Vikings. Kotaku can independently confirm the same.
>The Division 2 launched on March 15, but it wasn’t until this week that discussion about a possible teaser located within the Potomac Event Center in the game’s version of Washington DC started generating buzz. As first made public by YouTuber JorRaptor, there are numerous posters all over this event center, picturing what appears to be a Norse god or traveler adorned with the word Valhalla.
>What’s particularly interesting is that said traveler is holding what appears to be the Apple of Eden, a pivotal piece of technology in Assassin’s Creed lore.
>So does this mean that the next Assassin’s Creed, confirmed by Ubisoft to be skipping 2019 and going straight to 2020 (just in time for the expected release of next-gen consoles), is all about Vikings? Well, yes. Yes it does. A few months before this teaser emerged, Kotaku learned from two independent sources familiar with the game that 2020's Assassin’s Creed, code-named Kingdom, does indeed star Vikings. We don’t know much else about the game, but after the phenomenal Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, we’re stoked to see what’s coming.
>Ubisoft declined to comment.
>Fans had long theorized that the next Assassin’s Creed would be set in Rome, after an old 4chan post that accurately revealed Assassin’s Creed Origins before it was announced said it was part of a trilogy including games in Rome and Greece. Several recent rumors had given traction to that theory—rumors that are almost certainly incorrect. Vikings and boats and pirate raids are the route Ubisoft is headed in 2020.

Viking women were particularly known for being trusted to defend the home while men were away. It was less that women were viewed as weak and more that it was convenient that the childbearer could also hold a sword, if need be. It's not a stretch.
At least, not as much of a stretch as "Women are incomplete men" greece women being stronk.

VIkings are honestly one of the most shit settings possible for Asscreed that's not like liter bumfuck nowhere tribe.
The ONE thing you need to have a good asscreed game is cool, big cities. The series might as well be ancient archtecture and urbanism porn and nothing else, the combat is just an excuse to justify climbing around historical urban centers.
The vikings did not have large urban cities. They do not have complex, beucractic political factions and warring, which is typically another key part of the game's plots. The ONLY thing they have going for them is sailing shit, which is a popular element of the games since AC4, and the fact normalfags dig vikings, Even though Asscreed has never minded doing more obscure shit like the Golden Age of Piracy, the French Revolution etc?
Litterally any of these would be better or as good:
>Roman Republic/Empire
>European Middle Ages
>Proper Ancient Egypt (as opposed to origin's poltemic egypt)
> Bronze Age mesopotamia (Sumer, Babylon, etc)
>Ancient Persia
>Ancient or Medieval India
>Medivial Southeast asian kingdoms (Khmer, Sukhothai etc
>Ancient or Medivial China, you could do like 3 fucking mainline games in China alone
>Fuedal Japan

>Late Horizon Andes (Inca Empire; mid horizon and late intermediate would also work but we don't have enough historical sources)

I hate that shit. They could easily make female characters important by handling politics while their husbands are out fighting, which is something that actually happened, if not with Vikings with many other peoples. Condemning women to death like that is just too stupid, they always panic when things get tough so they'd be more of a liability than anything. Not to mention it'd mean they'd get no new manpower since all the young women would be dying in the battlefield instead of dying giving birth.

First was okay, but the "present time" parts were lame, some of the side missions were repetitive as was overall structure (go to new area, gather info, assassinate guy), it had the most interesting assassin design though purely because they dressed up like scholars to actually blend in.
Everytime I try to replay 2 I get fed up with the shitty unskippable cutscenes and forced collectathon. Wasn't too bad the first time, lots of gameplay improvements.
Brotherhood is pretty much the same as 2.
Never played any others because the series went to shit with the whole "we wuz assassins"
Of those I might actually prefer the first, if only because it was something a bit new.

Haven't you played Assassin's Creed: Unity? It's one of the only stealth oriented games in the series. At least Ubisoft finally implemented a button to toggle for crouch walking. I thought some of the assassination opportunities during the main missions were a little simple but handled well enough. Assassin's Creed: Syndicate was more low effort than Unity though. From what I remember the second half of Syndicate was extremely poor. There was one assassination mission in sequence seven that took place in the House of Parliament, and most of that was just linear hallways with no verticality.

That was the Varangian Guard I mentioned in my earlier post. I can see two directions this goes. Either they make the sailing more developed and make the game similar to Black Flag to encourage lots of travel between small settlements, or they set the game in Byzantium with the Varangian Guard. I think the second option is more likely because it strokes their massive hard-on for architecture. Personally I think longhouses are cool though.

Nigger, do you have any fucking idea how cold it can get in Scandinavia during winter? If you built massive stone structures (temples, fortresses, &c.) like the ones you have cherry-picked for your image you would freeze to death come winter.
Have fun wasting your time during the summer months building a massive, impractical stone building in an area where the temperature easily drops below −20 °C, you dumb cunt.

There is nothing to pillage in Scandinavia yeah.
But when it got christianized, advanced farming technique got passed over, so they can produce in that barren land, thus the need for castles to defend their resources.

Because they built large brick and mound walls instead, like dannevirke and the geat dike, to slow down movements on land while relying on the sea and rivers to get around faster and outmanoeuvre enemies. The soil in the region was also covered by glacier for a long period, which means the soil is glacial till, made up mostly of mountain and bedrock getting ground into boulders and drifting along under the ice. Not the most practical for building castles out of. Overall the region wasn't very rich in any resources save for timber and amber, the latter of which which was highly prized at the time and the periods before, and was a big chunk of what they sold over in the Byzantine and other southern markets during the time of the bronze age trade route.
It was also during this period things like the sun chariot, and valsgarde helmets from the vendel culture were made with imported bronze ingots, since most of the available tin deposits in Europe were too far removed to create local bronze. Pics related. This is also why amber from the scandi-baltic region has been found around the mediterranean.
These finds became more rare as the viking age began, however. The reason for this likely has to do with the christening of the Franks, and more specifically Charlemagne. During the bronze age all the trade routes across the continent made Europe significantly more interconnected than most people realize, and with this interconnectivity came reliance on trade. This is where Charlemagne and the christening of the franks comes in, as they now forbade non-christians from using these trade routes, and whether true or not rumors were spreading of runestones depicting old faiths and deities being destroyed. Obviously this didn't go over well with the still largely pagan nordic and baltic tribes, many of whom had a strong attachment to their old oral traditions, many of which were illustrated on runestones such as in pic 4 concerning the gutasaga. This culminated with various tribes of the region uniting under a common cause and setting off the large scale pillaging and raiding which is now known as the viking age. This is another important factor for why you didn't typically see those types of buildings in the region at the time, because before the external threat which caused the various tribes to unite they were too busy warring each other to really devote themselves to building castles, as other types of fortification were quicker and more suitable for the type of war you saw there.
As for status, it was mostly attained from ornamental metalworks and the like rather than buildings, possibly because fancy swords and armor are easier to bring with you and might be a benefit if you're looking to impress customers at some market abroad.
tl;dr The soil was rough, and there was more status for a chieftain in a good set of armor or sword. Not to mention timber was abundant in the region, which was used both for vital heating and all manner of construction other than housing, such as the essential boats which were essential for a land caked in rivers and covered in lots of dense forestation.

1 of these pictures was taken minutes from where i lived, and have literally ice fished on the same exact lake with friends.
my nose hairs would freeze and when you pinch your nose you'd hear a crunch. your eye would freeze if a wind hit you at the right angle and blinking would cause the ice sheet to go under your eye and feel… cold/wet.
this isnt special or even unique. millions live like this.
the guy in your picture is dog-sledding and dressed like that likely so he can be out and even sleep outside.
it was too cold to percipitate where i lived so the snow wasnt deep enough for that. although the small amount of snow we got would never melt because it wouldnt ever get warm enough to.

Speaking of, I remember a while back a couple anons were talking about Unity and that it was actually really good after the updates. I was wondering if there’s any truth to that. I kinda want to play it after the Notre Dame fire.
4465a2 No.16374512
>>16373401
Outside of IV and Rogue, I'd say Unity is one of the only games in the franchise that's worth playing. Unity is the last great Assassin's Creed. Best freerunning, decent assassination missions (choose your own approach/freedom of choice in killing the target), most of the buildings are recreated on a 1:1 scale from what I understand.
There's much more emphasis placed on stealth gameplay. Assassin's Creed Unity is more of an evolution of the first game. Chain killing has been removed, though you can still parry and stagger enemies in open combat. Unity has plenty of weapon variety and customization options for the character. Pole weapons, axes, one handed swords, maces, cleavers, much more. Though you have to enter numerous sub menus just to change your gear. The game needed some sort of radial menu to swap out weapons.
The story isn't too bad either. As a character, Arno doesn't amount to much more than a retread of Ezio in Assassin's Creed II. I liked the situations that Arno was placed in, however. Unity was pretty interesting if you find the time period of the French Revolution interesting. For a good chunk of the game, you're on the side of the French Royalists who defend the monarchy. Some missions have you doing activities such as destroying letters of correspondence between King Louis XVI and the Parisian leader of the Assassins, there's another mission where you put a stop to an assassination attempt on King Louis XVI, and you bring an end to the Reign of Terror when you capture a stereotypical demonized Robespierre. In Assassin's Creed Unity, the Reign of Terror is portrayed as though it were some sort of Templar conspiracy to gain control of the middle class through paranoia. When Unity first released around the end of 2014, there were a few leftist French critics who condemned the game for fueling counter-revolutionary narratives, but Arno speaks in favor of the French Revolution when he talks back to his assassin mentors from time to time, so the game isn't wholly counter-revolutionary.
It's a natural course of action for conspiracy theory cliches (Unity's depiction of the Reign of Terror) to come about through a counter-revolutionary narrative, and conspiracy theories are part of what made the original Assassin's Creed compelling. If anyone claims that Assassin's Creed Unity is purely counter-revolutionary it just exposes that person as short-sighted.
If there is anything weak about Unity's story, then it all comes down to Arno and his Romeo/Juliet romance with Élise . Arno is born to an Assassin father, then later on Arno is orphaned and the Parisian Templar leader adopts him. Arno's adopted father has a daughter (Élise) and she eventually joins the Templar cause while Arno follows in his biological father's footsteps. Even though Arno and Élise are of two different factions they love each other. As the French Revolution comes to a head, the Parisian Assassin leader and the Parisian Templar leader wish to secure their power structures so they sort of come to a temporary truce. And with Arno as protagonist, we see the story through his eyes and he longs for the days of security from his childhood. That's also why Unity gives the impression that the populist revolutionary movements are wrong, though some of the antagonists in the game have compelling viewpoints. There was plenty of nuance in the story. Arno was just too weak of a protagonist. Ezio playboy 2.0 doesn't fit this type of story that well. A more ideologically dirven protagonist could navigate the mess of the French Revolution and find a better alternative. Unity raised a lot of questions regarding stagnation, extremism, corruption etc but everything gets swept under the rug in favor of Arno's romance with Élise.
Oh yeah, and Unity is still the best looking Assassin's Creed game.

It's hard to say for sure since most carvings done by them at the time were in wood which doesn't preserve well, and most of the runestones are done in memory of people, usually paid for by their relatives. But based on the fact that artifacts became less common during a certain period, as well as the chosen targets, it seems to suggest that resources and the competing religion was a major cause of it.
It was also during this period damascus steel started showing up in the region and the varangian guard came to be, which seems to suggest they remained relatively friendly with the east roman empire's branch of the faith, while considering the western branch of the faith enemies.

I don't get how you had this long an argument over this. If someone is out in those temperatures for a long time, then they do need to be really bundled up or they will die. If they're only out for a relatively short time, then they don't need to be. People running around in the snow in their underwear don't do it for very long, people wearing a moderate amount of clothing don't sit around outside for 5 hours, they're also likely not far from a building/car/etc where they can warm up.

I'm referring to the netcode. There can be a lot of desync sometimes depending on who you're playing with.

definitely, the characters were great, the writing was weirdly good for ubishit, and the setting was neat with some nice set pieces. It was funny how they wrote themselves in a corner with showing how incompetent and selfish the assassins can be, then at the end they just had to make the main character evil "just because".

I suppose so long as the gameplay is fun the rest of those complaints will be tolerable, and I'm not surprised the netcode is terrible.
