Evolution of Assassination in Assassin's Creed Games (2007-2023)

It's minor but seems many people forget. AC Syndicate has animation when using the hidden blade while crouching. I hate it when playing Unity that Arno stand up everytime I assassinate someone.

Odyssey was really cool because of the variety and options with the stealth. But Unity has essence and is the best by far

What is the name of the soundtrack you used during Syndicate ? Plz tell me

If you press R2 or whatever system your playing on, you can perform a high profile cover assassination

Unity best

Odyssey had some great potential but they ruined it with every way imaginable

Origins has my favourites.

Devolution

The assassinations in Odyssey felt so good, Kassandra/Alexios had no mercy

How were you not seen in unity

big L for skipping rouge

In valhalla you forgot the hood assassination
Walk slow form perform that.

Fin fact:if you do this animation the enemie don’t detect you(social stealth.

Oddysey and unity for me, depending for Assassination, in unity is very simple and quickly than oddysey, but in oddysey i like kassandra/alexios shows no mercy and brutal Assassination, and many variety/option

is the ac 3 one the remastered?

looks like Jade can be added to the list now lol

I'd normally appreciate that Syndicate kept the assassination animations from Unity, but they look so jarring when paired with how slapstick the game's combat looks. Unity's animations felt like there was more weight to them, and overall more realistic.

Once again unity is peak

Really great video! Very detailed and interesting, my personal favorite assassinations are the ones in Unity and 3.

For oddysey, what about the critical assasination?

Always love the Assassinimation from Unity, so unique!

One of my favorite ones in AC Valhalla was the Feign Death ability. Basically you would trick enemies by "playing dead". Then you'd pop up and assassinate the enemy. It was used for when in open combat or botched assassination attempts and trying to reset into stealth again.

in AC rogue you can do ledge assassinations while hanging

Iirc you can also use rope assassination in AC3 and some subsequent games.

I like how in the odyssey one, there are only athenians not spartans

AC3 best combat & most underrated game.❤

Its cool how the games are all similar until a certain point. Like how assassins creed 1, 2, brotherhood, and revelations all have the same/similar mechanics and assassinations. Then came the new era, assassins creed 3, black flag, and rogue. Then they had the newer graphics and smoother animations with Assassins creed unity and syndicate. And finally the latest ones, rpg type games. Origins, odyssey, and valhalla. I'm assuming mirage is another one of those games where they try something different.

You can also use some assassination methods in AC1: 1) running with just M2 and press the kill button before you bump into target, it's a little bit tricky,but it's so satisfying to watch. 2) You can do another variation of High Profile kill, you need:Stand clise to a target, hold HP button and press M1. 3) After Altaïr lands of something, you can kill a target, you need to land on something, lock on and press M1.
Ac2:You can do HP assassinations in every hiding spot,just hold the HP button and prss M1.Method 2 from first game also usable.
AC3:You can assassinate from hiding spot where two people standing next to wall, and also when you're blending as a citizen by tastinf smh.
Unity:Can also do HP assassination from hiding place, from cover your able to do it too

AC4 be like:🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

about the assassin's creed revelations.when hanging from a ledge,ezio use hookblade to pull down the target from the building.

Ac Valhalla did it the best hands dawn

That little piano noise that plays after the assassination is like a frightening strike despicable...

Unity professional of professionals Mr arno

Ya know, it’s not the graphics, or the mechanics that make me hate the newer ones, it’s just like they keep putting less in to their games, we’ve known for years one of their biggest issues was a yearly release and the one time they didn’t (origins) it came out great, not a huge fan of rpg, but the story, graphics, and most details I appreciated, they push these games so fast they don’t have time to look at it and fine tune it anymore. I wish they’d just sit down, not release anything for 3 or 4 years, then release something amazing. I can’t call the new one horrible, but I definitely regret spending $40 on it for a small as it was; I feel like this is their COD if they release something with the abstergo symbol, AC symbol, or just the name, they know people will buy the hell out of it. My issue is they’ve become money hungry to the point I don’t see where they care about the players. Notjing has really been graphically as good as Unity, and to me the peak was AC3 or AC4

In black flag why are the guards rabbits?

Another addition to unity is once you’re in cover and you hold the sprint button you’ll do a high profile assassination👍

It all took a shit turn almost since AC Syndicate (no offense to anyones opinion)

no ones talking about the AC4 mod it had me wheezing

I hate how in the later games they refuse to just keep it simple.

Imagine if in Odissey Darius and the first blade were introduced in the entry of the game and play integral role in teaching Kassandra how to be a hidden one and use the blade, so much wasted potential...

And for Origins and Odyssey to have them puny if you aren’t a high enough level…

You forgot the rope dart in ac3, where you can kill enemies by hanging them

I think you didn't do syndicate justice at all, you didn't add the kidnapping option that helps the syndicate steel and has its own Assassination animation, besides not even mentioning the brutal Assassination of the jack the reaper dlc, which (at least in terms of gameplay ) are evolution of common Assassination

If you plan to update the video in the future (I imagine it would mostly be for adding mirage and shadows) You could also add these to the syndicate part
