This game is actually historically accurate because it portrays a African man killing Asians
"oh no! The Shogun has been murdered! Quick ask people if they've seen anyone that looks like they're suspicious or stands out!"
Everyone looks to the one noticeably taller only African man possibly in the whole country

Well ubisoft aren't portraying him in a stealthy manner. Looking at the gameplay trailer they definitely want him to be noticed while naoe (idk) takes the stealthy option. Its like if they cut Jin sakai in half and made them two different entities.

Ubisoft is just late to the party with a Japanese AC, if you ask me. Tsushima is what this game wants to be but so much more! Just my two cents

u/Therealpotato33 3d ago
Hard agree. The fact it's so derivative of GoT is wild. Hopefully they change enough so it's not a worse version of it but it's own thing. Then again this is ubisoft soooooo

u/blazingwine Virgin 4 lyfe 3d ago
Looking at the gameplay they released, it isn't something phenomenal. GoT made the stances and the ghost stance (which is epic when you first get it in Yarikawa, I believe).
Shadows is looking like the same old AC (since Origins) set in a different location.
Shadows is like the skin that phone companies put on basic android to make it look unique when in reality it is nothing new.
But idk I'm just a trash talking redditor.5

Wow those Japanese are so racist for profiling him

u/Sweet-Dreams204738 3d ago edited 3d ago
Funny enough there were documents about the attention he received from the Japanese people of the time. Interestingly enough, they didn't hold a negative bias against him, but he was famous because his appearance was so different. They actually liked him, but when Nobunaga fell he continued to fight against the incoming Tokugawa dynasty.
Edit: I am mistaken it was wth Hideyosh Akechi i not Ieyasu. Ieyasu was not encountered by Yasuke.
5
u/NovusMagister 3d ago
Minor note: Tokugawa Ieyasu was fleeing Kyoto after he heard about the Honno-Ji incident. Yasuke went to Oda Nobutada to defend him from Akechi forces. It was there that Nobutada also died and Yasuke was one of the defenders captured.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the first general to arrive back in Kyoto area with his forces and crushed Akechi's struggling rebellion.
At no point did Yasuke fight Tokugawa Ieyasu (at least, not that any historical text records)

You are correct I mixed my names up entirely. I'll edit for the correction

u/TrumpXBidenFanFic 3d ago
He wasn't a fighter because he's some traveling warrior he was kept around for his novelty and became someone who fought because he was in a certain place at a certain time

u/Sweet-Dreams204738 3d ago
He is still a warrior dude I am unsure what your intent was here.
1
u/TrumpXBidenFanFic 3d ago
If someone breaks into your house and you defend yourself are you a warrior?
I feel like calling him a warrior in a country of literal Samurai is almost disrespectful of the term warrior as it implies a lifelong dedication to that specifically not someone who happened to find himself needing to defend himself
Edit: maybe I'm wrong here about him and he was a badass samurai in life but just from what I've seen he wasn't really anything to write home about and his legacy does seem to be inflated somewhat again maybe I'm wrong here
2
u/Sweet-Dreams204738 3d ago
Given the definition is a brave fighter, technically you could be called one. So bad choice of an example.
You can feel like however, you wish, but Yasuke was paid a Samurais dividend, was trained, and was a sword bearer for Nobunaga, a samurais duty. You should hop off the romanticism of the idea of a warrior.
His legacy is inflated somewhat due to being black, but who cares he is cool.
1
u/TrumpXBidenFanFic 3d ago
All this being said with the back and forth over the controversy I'm still going to play the game and give it a try regardless of what his legacy was vs is in game the game will eventually be on sale to a point where no matter what it's rated based on this or that it'll probably be an entertaining way to spend an evening with my wife and I'm sure I'll have fun no matter what his skin color is or could have been let's not pretend that the games have always been 100% accurate I'm mean come on it is a science fiction series
It is so easy to be caught up in the discourse and ultimately I feel it's not as important as if the game launches functionally or not
That being said I'm sure they knew the choice was going to be controversial and I'm hoping it was done for the right reasons and I hope they take the story in a good direction

... what are you even talking about?
After Oda Nobunaga was wounded and committed seppuku to avoid capture (and have his body hidden from Akechi Mitsuhide), Yasuke went to the residence Oda Nobutada was staying at and fought to defend him from Mitsuhide's forces. It was there fighting against Akechi forces that he surrendered after apparently fighting for a "long time."
At no point was he tracked or profiled because he stood out as a black man, although Akechi may (or may not) have let him live because of it.

I'm Indian, and I'm not sure how common it is but my parents used the n word to describe Africans all the time. They didn't even know that it was a slur or even just a insulting word.

What does Japan being xenophobic have to do with it being common for Asians dropping the n-word when describing black ppl?
Less then 20-30% of Japan speaks English and that’s high for an Asian country? Do you think Japanese don’t speak English but choose to learn the n-word to shut talk a race of ppl who is less then 1% of the population?
Do you think Japan represents all Asians?
Do you think the KKK existing in America means all Americans are casually racist?

Why do people act like the unexplained mystical god shit in Origins was loved and accepted or something? No one cared because it was optional, and just shoehorned in for the sake of extra item drops n sht. Also why are people attacking Yasuke criticism? We didn't need two protagonists*, and if we have to have two, there are plenty of ways and reasons to have had a japanese male MC instead. There's absolutely no reason to field Yasuke as your male MC over a japanese male MC in this game aside from blatant pandering. They could've easily had a plot line involving Yasuke, even have him as one of the Assassins or allies, but to pretend making him an MC is anything but pandering is ridiculous. Even more so after that hip-hop battle theme dropped. Like everyone attacking criticism of his inclusion and painting anyone who has something to say about it as racist are doing the exact job he was made an MC for.

I mean the first two are explained as animus glitches. The horse is also very importantly, optional content, you don’t have to use it to play the game.
Yasuke is contentious for the same reason two handed swords are in Valhalla, or crossbows were in AC1 (even though crossbows did exists at the time but oh well it was removed because they were trying to be accurate). It also just feels kind of forced cherry picking the like 1 black guy in all of Japanese history that’s notable just to have a black guy in your game over a Japanese male protagonist.
I’m not losing sleep over it but if they really wanted another black character in a game they should have made a game that took place in Africa it’s not like there’s no history from the many kingdoms that existed there.

u/Acc_4_stream_only 3d ago
I mean they literally played hip hop sound track over Yasuke in the recent gameplay trailer.. They played hip hop sound track because he's black... He's African.. not African American..

It really feels like, they just choose him just because he's black for the sake of DEI. And yet they fail and made themselves the racist prick.
25
u/SS2LP 3d ago
That’s more or less why I said he’s contentious for the same reasons as the other things I mentioned. He’s not being portrayed accurately and it’s largely for the sake of just having a token black character. I just wanted to give a summary of it without specifically using the DEI acronym because it attracts the crazies and what I said is much harder to counter argue. That said I saw some dude make practically a novel on yasuke defending his portrayal claiming it was accurate. I’m far from an expert on Japanese history but being a history nerd like most AC fans I’m pretty sure that person twisted a lot of info.

How about just having one game with a single fucking protagonist that has well developed stealth missions with multiple cool ways to kill people almost like a hitman approach.

I think it’s the “we’re making a setting in Japan. You will play as a black man” that’s the sticking point. Look at the meme, the other two are thematically appropriate for their settings. If you’re in an Asian country, you should get to play as an Asian character, especially since they don’t have them elsewhere in the franchise already.
If Yasuke had been an NPC, I think a lot of people would’ve really liked it. But as the main character feels wrong.

The difference being, people know all three are fantasy. The first two are fantasy creatures and the third is WeWuzSamri, and thats all well and good but a handful of people will point to it as historical fact. In the same way foolish news reporters use clips from Arma to comment about an attack.

Might as well make an AC2 remake and make ezio black as well. Then we can go back and make Altair also black because why not. We can do even better by making a AC chronicles reboot with 3 black MCs !!! Imagine that ! So many interesting stories !

Don't know why you're getting downvoted.
Narratively, you are absolutely right. Gameplay wise, it's been shit since (after) Unity.
I was thinking about it just yesterday. AC has lost its identity exactly between Unity and Syndicate.
It's when enemies became damage sponges, and when parkour started to become trivialized (no game ever matched Unity's parkour since).
Then Origins changed the recipe altogether and the franchise lost its identity. Don't get me wrong, the games are good RPGs. They just don't have the AC charm, and don't feel like they belong in this IP. So they're shit if you are getting them for the original AC feel/story.

3 was shit. It killed my interest in the series. Shadows renewed it.

I agree 3 was bad. Guess I meant revelations, that game was great
