How many times are they just going to release the same exact game using the same exact trailer?
The least they could is retranslate it. I recently replayed the game using the original PS1 disc, and the translation is all over the place. Characters get random accents for like 3 lines then drop them just as quickly, often times characters say things that flat out don't make sense, and there are typos everywhere.
Honestly, an Assassin's Creed set in Victorian England would be great... if they'd actually update the main character's design. The hood, unconcealed weapons and elaborate belts has to go.
The first game made sense since you're in a time period with hooded monks to use as cover. But as of the second game in the renaissance it stopped making sense and become stupid and has only gotten worse with each sequel. Pirates and colonial Americans should not be wearing hoods and secret assassin orders should not be advertised on flags.
Like look at these screenshots. He look ridiculous next to people wearing wool suits and top hats. If someone dressed like that went walking down the street even in the 1800s, they'd be extremely conspicuous. The idea was originally supposed to be about concealing yourself so as not to draw attention, and it should be brought back to that.
What they need to do for this character is make him look like the man he's fighting in that video. Give him a simple knee-length wool coat and a wide-brimmed hat. Underneath that should be a vest, a button-up shirt and a string-tie or scarf. Have him wear plain slacks and leather shoes. If they absolutely must, then simple leather gloves. No hood, no elaborate belts, no armor pieces on the outside, and no boldly unconcealed weapons. When he goes into stealth mode, have him pull down the brim of his hat to conceal his face. THAT would be era-appropriate and look good as well.
With the way things are now, they've effectively made their character designs pointless. They're all literally dressed the way that they are in order to look cool, and nothing else.
Like instead, it turns out to be two games; a Shin Megami Tensei game with some Fire Emblem cameos, and a Fire Emblem game with Shin Megami Tensei cameos.
Or a fighting game would be fine. But I just feel like cross-over games tend to have really terrible stories and just feel awkward. Particularly because these two series tend to have more serious stories with war and death.
So neither of you are going to actually say anything intelligent, I gather? Just go "HUR DUR DUR U HAYTER" and pretend that you said something profound and that you didn't just make fools of yourselves?
