DrDamn Alex ah yes, I’m living with the odd zoom and scrolling. Can’t find a way to separate that off the first setting. 🙁
DrDamn Also, Ubisoft seems to have done a pretty good and respectful job of incorporating Japanese tradition and information. A bit of a misstep in allowing the improved destruction carry over into areas it shouldn’t, but they addressed that day one. One thing I did notice though, was the “please respect the Torii gates by not climbing on them” message, but leaving them peppered with L1 grapple points seems a little at odds with that.
Gordon I’ve unlocked Yasuke now, and can safely say that he doesn’t follow the same cautious counter and parry-heavy style that Naoe does. It’s more along the lines of “just batter the absolute shit out of everyone” and it’s a lot of fun.
DrDamn https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2025-assassins-creed-shadows-tech-qa-rtgi-shader-compilation-taa-and-more TAA to be replaced by PSSR in a future patch - recent improvements in PSSR have made this a better choice now. RT reflections also to be patched into Balanced mode on Pro.
DrDamn Jogort yeah Ubisoft seem to have been in trouble for a bit, so this sort of deal was always coming. So I’m desperately trying to follow my own advice for chapter 1 to focus on the first two assassinations, but … Fomo! What’s that? Where does this go, I’ll just check what that ? Is on the map there… 15 hours in and I haven’t killed one of them yet. Almost there with one and got a bit done on the other. Still having lots of fun though 😁
Gordon DrDamn I was doing the same until I got to a tomb which I was pretty sure could only be done by Sasuke. At that point my FOMO turned into actual MO, so I dropped everything else until I’d unlocked Sasuke.
DrDamn Got him now, so I can happily go back to the first area and fill in my map 😁 Both characters feeling quite powerful and I haven’t even spent the 34 mastery points on Yasuke yet 😮 Lots of nice things to tinker with, builds, weapons, skills, base etc.
Alex Big patch out tomorrow. They’ve fixed the hideout FPS Also PSSR on PS5 Pro https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/assassins-creed/news/2FUDlIPb2uWk5Ldb8OhKej
Gordon “Fixed an issue where the “Is New” icon remains in the inventory even if all owned items have been seen.” Finally. That was really doing my head in.
DrDamn Had a quick go at lunch. The key PSSR difference is clarity in movement, either when turning the camera or in stuff moving in the wind. A lot less flicker and crawl and elements like a flapping slatted blind where I was stood testing was more well defined too. Oh and inventory new stuff bug still exists 🙁
