23: Assassin's Creed 1 in 2023

In this episode, host Jermaine Harris discusses the enduring appeal of the first Assassin’s Creed game, released 16 years ago. The game features a dual narrative involving modern-day character Desmond and his ancestor Altair, set in the late 1100s. The detailed recreation of Middle Eastern cities like Jerusalem and Damascus enhances the immersive experience. The episode highlights the game’s parkour and combat systems, as well as its innovative stealth mechanics. Harris expresses a preference for the more narrative-focused style of Assassin’s Creed 1 over the later open-world RPG format adopted by subsequent games in the series. He appreciates completing a game within a reasonable timeframe and suggests that while role-playing mechanics could enhance the original game, he wouldn’t want them to significantly increase the time required to complete the main story. Additionally, he advocates for the inclusion of a new game plus mode to improve the replay value of the game. Harris invites listeners to share their experiences with Assassin’s Creed 1 and their preferences for RPG-style games like Valhalla or Odyssey.EquipmentMicrophone: HyperX QuadCast S - https://amzn.to/3PgZUEmHeadphone: Beyerdynamics DT 770 Pro 80 - https://amzn.to/3qJi5bzSolid State Drives (SSDs): Samsung T7 2TB - https://amzn.to/43Mptl6 & Samsung T7 SSD 4TB - https://amzn.to/42LtOntWebcam: Logitech 4K Webcam - https://amzn.to/42Ns6lBRing Light: Elgato Ring Light - https://amzn.to/3paFulTSocialFollow @UnleashedProPlays on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. @UnleashedPlays on TwitterCheck out our sister podcasts at: AtomikFalconStudios.com
