It's like they think if it doesn't sound like a cartoon leprechaun, people won't get that it's Irish.

I'm sure they're probably just "Yeah, Irish people don't sound like that now, but they did back then. Probably. Maybe."

But, he sounds nothing like Roy Keane. The guy taking the piss there seems to have about as much knowledge of Irish accents as Ubisoft.

Can't see this being much cop to be honest. We've already discovered colonial America remember.

Unity is where it's at. Viva La Revolution!

If only. I can see this being like III, in that some people will like it, but those with no interest in the French Revolution, or France and French people in general (ie: me, due to a deep seated hatred of my French teacher (read: devil) at school), it's probably gonne be pants.

I'm hoping i'm wrong, but this is why i'm way more excited for Rogue than Unity. Even with the dodgy accent, which, honestly, i've come to accept in gaming. Or media.

Understood. But I think it's going to be epic exploring Paris in the late 1700's. The French Revolution is a very interesting period. Napoleon rising and causing havoc will be brilliant.

And still no sign of an AC game set in feudal Japan...

And i believe you, like a lot of fans of AC III, will be in the minority. Again, i hope to be proven wrong, and i will still end up getting it.

I get a sense they're saving it for something...

I seem this mentioned a lot, but I don't really understand why the obsession with it.

An AC game where you're roaming around Japan on horseback with a samurai sword fighting ninjas and freerunning around imperial cities? Hell yes.

Because it would be similar to a modern day Tenchu game...and Tenchu was awesome......

I think a problem with many of the normal Irish accents is that a lot of people outside of Ireland, and inside it have trouble understanding it. You only have to look at some of the criticism levelled at Kerry Condon in Luck to see how people struggled with her accent, though to be somewhat fair Milch's use of authentic dialogue and Mann's shooting style did play a part. As odd as the accent in the trailer sounds, at least it's clear and there's no moment where you're wondering just what the hell did he say.

I would throw as much money at Ubisoft to play this.

It's not even that really, but more that people in north america really struggle to place an irish accent unless it's an incredibly stereotypical one. People genuinely have no idea where I'm from and seem surprised when I tell them I'm Irish. I've got a pretty neutral accent, but I still spent a quarter of a century in north county dublin

As far as I can recall, Luck's downfall wasn't the accents, but the sound mixing and editing. The audience couldn't hear the dialogue. It doesn't matter what accent you speak in if nobody can hear it. :P

A lot of people hear the British and Irish accents and assume that they are one and the same, I've been asked by a number of Americans where in London I'm from even though I've spent about month there in all my 28 years.

The sound mixing was part of it, Mann's decision to only use audio caught on location meant that background noise was an issue but there were a lot of complaints about the Irish accent in particular. Even in Ireland people felt that it was hard to understand

I'm starting the journey guys! My new PS3 arrived yesterday and one of the games I got with it was Assassin's Creed (the first one). Looking forward to playing it!

Yeah, as good as it was for it's time, maybe you should watch a youtube video of highlights from Assassins Creed and move on to the second one, just for your own sanity.

It's rare that I'd recommend doing that, but in this case, I have rarely seen a game so repetitive.

Thats a **** way to start your PS3 career lol. Get something like Uncharted or Tlou instead.

johnny_ultimate · 14-08-2014 5:33pm

Just looking at those gameplay clips - looking like little more than an expansion pack to the last game and a bit of a palette change. Am going to be surprised if this turns out to be anything other than a quick cash in!

Jaysus, you should not be allowed to buy games for yourself! :eek:

Its unsurprising but AC: Unity seems to have all the pre-release attention. Now that it appears that Unity is suffering from terrible performance issues I wonder if that will give Rogue the better reviews.

I'm still unclear if there is a story connection and which one should be played first. I think the setting for this looks great but having to play it with a Dualshock 3 and not the 4 is going take a bit of getting used to.

DoYouEvenLift · 11-11-2014 3:39pm

The accent in the launch trailer...facepalm

Josey Wales · 21-12-2014 1:11am

I just started playing this tonight. I finished the introductory story mission and sure enough, its more Assassin's Creed.

I have to say though the character models are pretty rough. This is going from playing ACIV on the PS4. I also don't enjoy going back to the Dualshock 3 after getting used to the 4.
