Assassin's Creed Climbing Parkour is Evolving, Just Backwards

Edward can climb on broken window glass without a scratch, well just like he told bonnet, "every finger is a fish hook, that how u tell a true sailor"

Older AC climbing is like a puzzle. You have to figure out where to climb. Unlike newest AC games, the characters just climb straight up and it is boring.

Origins technically doesn’t let you climb everything, there does need to be some tiny semblance of a handhold, even if it’s just a vertical line in the design of the building. Odyssey was the first game to truly let you climb anything regardless of visible handholds

Back in the day when they got rid of the crossbow in AC1 because it didn't fit the time period and invented a new Assassin gizmo when they wanted Ezio to be able to climb even faster, despite his advanced age. There was a tasteful blend between realism and sci-fi in the earlier games that's just missing nowadays.

It's not evolving backwards. It's returning to monke

AC1’s slow climbing speed forces you to think more “strategically” (for lack of a better word) about where you choose to climb. Sure, you could just scale a building vertically, and 9 times out of 10 you’d have enough windows and wooden stakes to make it up, or you could take a second to look around for a ladder or boxes/wagons to keep your momentum going. This is especially important during chases, where guards will chuck rocks at you and knock you down if you’re climbing within their view for too long.

I actually liked the more grounded parkour in the older games even though Unity has the most fluid animations. Odyssey is the worst in my opinion because it feels janky and inconsistent: sometimes it plays like the older games where you actually need specific architectural details to climb, and other times you can't climb what may as well be a ladder. Valhalla seems like an overcorrection to the point you can climb basically anything and any surface as long as it's not a pointy log or icicle, while this is something Mirage actually addressed pretty well.

Leap jumping while rock climbing is actually real. It is known as "Dyno" in rock climbing. Today's longstanding official world-record dyno is 2.85 meters (9 feet, 4 inches), set by Denver climber Skyler Weekes (height: 6-foot-5; ape index: +6 inches) on July 3, 2010, at the Cliffhanger Games/World Cup event in Sheffield.

I'm Brazilian and I'm using Google translate because I wanted to say that your videos are very good and are reaching a huge audience and I never gave up man, keep going, you can do it, I was thinking

AC 1 has most realistic climbing in entire series and I love it..

Leap jump killed climbing in Assassin's Creed. When I played Assassin's Creed 1 for the first time, it blew my mind to see how realestict it looked climbing. Seeing how the character was stretching his arm to reach something to grab and climb was something incredible, something "truly next gen" as the box says. Now it's like, "bro, wtf?" "How is that even possible" "Is he spiderman or a monkey?" "How does he can climb if he's not grabbing anything?"

Everything from origin to now looks broken to me. They can climb anything anywhere like monkeys

when i play origin, i notice bayek move to a part where the walls has a texture that can be use as a climbing point

Ac 1 is the most believable but unity has the most fluid animations

AC2, AC3 and Unity are my all time favourites

They should bring back hook blade to make it look less ridicilous instead of jumping up 10ft while climbing.

Syndicate: “Climbing is wasting time”

I hardly ever climb like this in the earlier games up to Brotherhood, save for on viewpoints where that is the point. There are so many opportunities for free-run sequences to reach the rooftops and wall ejects to replace the often very slow movement of clambering onto the top of a beam, ledge or building. This makes things much less boring. A lot of Connor's, Edward's and Arno's newer animations like sliding and vaulting are welcome additions but the lack of control in every other aspect took away a lot of the fun. And the leap jump is like watching paint dry. My advice for Ubisoft is to remove that, and bring back free-run sequences and everything demonstrated in the first virtual training in Brotherhood.

I was thinking these days that no single person is greater than our capacity, you know, I just wanted to say that and thank you for this entertainment, thank you

The beauty of AC1 was mastering the side eject mechanic
