00:00Hola, mi nombre es Thierry Dansereau, art director en Assassin's Creed Shadows.
00:06Y yo soy Charles Benoit, director de Game Director en Assassin's Creed Shadows.
00:10Hoy estamos aquí para compartir los detalles de nuestro primer gameplay walkthrough en Assassin's Creed Shadows.
00:17Torigate es muy icono en la cultura japonesa y también muy atropecable visualmente.
00:22Cuando los jugadores verán, sabrán que hay algo interesante para descubrir según ese camino.
00:27Puede ser secreto, puede ser lucho, puede ser lucho, puede ser todo lo que suele su progresión.
00:33Fukujiyama, al final.
00:36Quisiera mostrar una de las muchas ciudades del juego que el juego tiene.
00:40En Assassin's Creed Shadows, tú vas a explorar una dinámica y ever-changing open world,
00:45todo lo que es afectada por la dinámica seasons y el sistema de weather.
00:51El juego es ahora más que siempre parte del juego ecosistema y biomes.
00:55En Assassin's Creed Shadows, a lot of the game wildlife will evolve and change colors through seasons
00:59and the player will even see puppies, mostly in the springtime.
01:02Well, you are a friendly beast, are you not?
01:04The goal is to have a more natural behaviors and awareness systems.
01:10Psst. Samurai, sir. This way. He beg you.
01:13Such beauty, shadowed by suffering.
01:18You're about to see Yasuke in action.
01:20In that sequence, Yasuke is going to find one of his targets.
01:23What is happening here?
01:25We'll have a lot of targets to hunt around Japan and this zip cam and celebration is used
01:30to highlight those moments when you find them.
01:33I told you. Keep walking.
01:40Let's see some combat now.
01:41The notion of dynamism was also applied to our props that are, for most of them, breakable.
01:54Yasuke is using Kanabo, so it's a big massive weapon, slow but very impactful.
02:00It's the best weapon to break enemy's armor.
02:03It's also a good tactic to remove armor first because it reduces the time to deal with your opponents.
02:10You can see the yellow bar under the enemy.
02:13It represents the armor and once it's broken, it's a lot easier to land hits and inflict damage.
02:21Attacking and defending charge up your adrenaline meter.
02:24Once it's full, you can spend all the resources to push back or knock down or inflict damages,
02:31and even put the enemy vulnerable.
02:34One of the big combat novelty is the posture system.
02:37You can hold your attack and posture at any moment inside a combo.
02:41Those attacks inflict massive damage and can also branch into execution.
02:46But of course, if you use those attacks, you expose yourself.
02:49So the key is to really master the timing and learning in Mi behavior.
02:54In the end, your competency can give you an edge over your stats.
02:58The players always have two weapons at the same time, so they can freely switch between both of them.
03:06You can see here Yasuke has the classic katana, and he's using one of his unique moves, the Sheeted Attack.
03:13Now you can concentrate on the target.
03:17You can see the katana is a lot faster and versatile.
03:20Looking at the target, you see he's a lot more reactive and defensive.
03:25If you're taking the posture like right now, he's also using one of his posture against you.
03:31So it creates really this dance between the two fighters.
03:34The enemy reactivity really pushes the player to use all his tools, so the parry, you need to react, you need to raid the enemy to find the best opening and land the posture attacks when it's best.
03:49Yasuke and Aoi have their own personal story and their own life.
04:01But once they allied, they cooperate to achieve the common objective.
04:06It means you can also switch at any moment in the open world.
04:09Of course, not during the infiltration or when you're fighting, but otherwise the players can really choose the character they want at any time and choose how they want to play them.
04:20We should go.
04:22Not before we send our allies to look for him.
04:24In this sequence, Yasuke is suggesting to use the spy network.
04:28It's a new system that we introduced in Assassin's Creed Shadow to support the shinobi fantasy and help the player to find their objective.
04:37So you can send your spy to scout areas and spot your target or the quest objective you have.
04:44Sometime we have both characters in the cutscene where you can pick the one who answer or ask questions.
04:49At the end, you can also pick the character you want to continue with.
04:54You can choose between Naoi being more stealth oriented or Yasuke being a bit more focused on fight.
05:02But be careful in there.
05:04Don't worry. I won't be alone.
05:07It'll be me and the shadows.
05:10From this point, we are with Naoi inside the Fukuyama Castle.
05:13Feudal Japanese Castle are amazing playgrounds as they offer a lot of opportunity to play in them in a stealth way or rather in a fight oriented.
05:21In the following sequence, you can see what's new in terms of parkour and stealth.
05:26First, our grappling hook. It's fully physique based so your speed and direction can affect where you go.
05:32You can also assassinate from the grappling hook as you can see now.
05:35We brought back the cover system to sneak and peek. So you can use your tool from there. You can also observe your surroundings.
05:43You can now use pran and crawl in tall grass. So you can hide, you can go under small openings. So it's really useful to sneak around.
05:52You're mine now, Snake.
05:55But one of the big novelties is the dynamic perception of the enemies. They are affected by light and shadow.
06:01So here you can see Naoi can break the light, enable to vanish and reduce the detection time. So it's a lot easier to quickly move undetected.
06:10The weapons of Naoi are great for combat but also for stealth. Each weapon has a specific type of assassination.
06:16Like here with the Kusargama, you can also assassinate your enemy but at range.
06:27With Naoi, you'll feel like a shinobi with all the new animation we added to make her a lot more agile and faster when doing parkour and everything she does basically.
06:38Naoi is an agile, self-focused shinobi who will use noise, light and shadows to evade detection as enemies respond to their changing surroundings.
06:51Naoi is currently making her way to reach her target. She's going through some elite samurai houses and as she progresses, the player will see and discover other iconic areas of the castle, such as the Daniel Quarter.
07:02The grappling hook can be also used to grab enemies, which is very useful to move them quickly and dispose of them in the better spot.
07:13It's much more efficient than just carrying dead body, for example.
07:17It's giving the player the option to decide if they want to kill or not.
07:20We have a couple of abilities. We have gear, we have weapons that can bring down enemies until they are wake up by other people.
07:31Like you saw with the Kusargama, the katana also have special assassination.
07:35You can stab people through Shojidor and stay mostly silent. So depending on the weapon you have equipped, you have a different assassination opportunity.
07:50He's coming. I need to hide.
07:53In the interior, there are places to hide, but one of the cool ones is the beam that you can use to grapple on the ceiling.
08:00It's really useful to not being spot, of course, but also wait for an opportunity to assassinate.
08:05Here we saw a sudden weather state change that triggered a thunderstorm.
08:21The noise and the rain and the wind cover your footstep and also your action.
08:26The demo is in spring, but in winter the old pan will be frozen, so you can't use the same tactic.
08:31You will have to use prong in deep snow or use the kunai to deal with the target at distance.
08:38Another cool shinobi trick you can see is Nawei using the breathing stick.
08:42With that, you can stay hidden underwater and wait for the perfect opportunity to assassinate or just sneak around.
08:49If you're detected, you can choose to escape to return to your stealth loop or go straight in combat.
08:54Nawei is choosing combat with the Kusargama, a versatile weapon that can use the cycle in one hand
09:00and the weighted chain in the other, allowing some range and melee fight depending on your attacks.
09:09In this case, the player decided to escape after many guards joined the fight.
09:13Even if Nawei can be very deadly, she doesn't have a strong armor like Eski,
09:18so it's a lot more risky when you fight multiple enemy at the same time.
09:22Anyway, in this case, she already achieved her objective.
09:25She killed the Demio, so all it's fine.
09:29We just saw the infiltration at night with Nawei.
09:32You can also imagine the other option of taking Yasuke and breaking through the front door.
09:36Day, night, weather, even season can affect the challenges on your path.
09:41Thanks for watching. We hope that you've enjoyed this presentation.
09:45Assassin's Creed Shadows will be launching on November 15.
09:49We can't wait for you to play it.
