Hasn't Ubisoft said exactly the above in the past though on another game, and it turned out to be a lie after somebody actually put it to the test and disconnected their internet to play the game?Im surprised with no online requirement, i expected it to say something like 'in order to bring this vast world to life and give best user experience, an online connection is required, even if you don't buy the game'
God damn, this sounds terrific.
And there’ll be seasons? I love that.
ahaha
Not that you were exactly subtle in the previous games. The assassin's choices in clothing were kind of the opposite of inconspicuous. By AC3 you were the dipshit with weird fashion sense standing there with like a giant bow, quiver, hatchet, knife, flintlock pistol, and a sword strapped to your person.
Like gee I wonder what dude in that group doesn't belong?
They should be excited. They are bringing ass to feudal Japan.View attachment 654072

Was the person who wrote this a 16 year old girl?
only one i ever finished, then i started on rouge but was a bit burnt out on ac...Black Flag
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465316/What were they thinking casting a non-Japanese Samurai, may as well have casted a redhead Scottish to play as Samurai - ridiculous. This will totally break my immersion in the game, thankfully there is Ghost of Tsushima which is probably 100x better game than typical Ubisoft formula anyway.
that is actually a great story line, shame....

IMO, what if's like that aren't made in good faith. Are basically a strawman to try and drum up controversy. And are rooted in dated socio-political ideas.Someone said it earlier… what if the setting had been Africa and the chosen protagonist had been Japanese?
yes he existed but the written accounts state he came to japan as a slave, and was Oda's servant/pet/curiosity/pack mule, he was never a samurai, never given land etc etc and was sold back into slavery in less than 2 years.Fact is "Yasuke" was a real black man, whom served under a Samurai lord. I don't know the full history and particulars. It seems some people dispute over whether or not Yasuke himself was actually a skilled samurai or simply little more than a kind of servant.
totally different premise and afaik, completely fictional.
I only used the Afro Samurai game because I know the manga creator used Yasuke as inspiration for the character.yes he existed but the written accounts state he came to japan as a slave, and was Oda's servant/pet/curiosity/pack mule, he was never a samurai, never given land etc etc and was sold back into slavery in less than 2 years.

Okazaki started drawing African-American characters on items like Kleenex boxes when he was a teenager, inspired by his fondness for hip hop and soul music. He also drew ideas from American media and their depiction of Japanese culture.[4] He started combining elements of samurai into his work, eventually developing the design for Afro, which was also based in the legendary black samurai Yasuke who existed during the Sengoku period of Japan.
lol whered you dig that up, wiki?I only used the Afro Samurai game because I know the manga creator used Yasuke as inspiration for the character.
It's a known fact, not just on wiki. I remember them talking about it in the 90's when it came out.lol whered you did that up, wiki?

also, google says thats just a claim. if there is a source quoting the author saying so....It's a known fact, not just on wiki. I remember them talking about it in the 90's when it came out.
it was written, dont remember the name, its in one of the videos ive posted in the get woke thread.There's no real consensus on whether or not he was a slave by the time he came to Japan. Most likely, he was free by then as he was hired to be a bodyguard to missionaries as the Jesuit's were not allowed to carry weapons. There is also no proof that he was ever a slave after Nobunaga's death. Outside of some record of him possibly being escorted to a group of Jesuit missionaries following the death, there's really no record of him following that period.
You know, I'll give Ubisoft some credit here. Regardless of how the game comes out, this whole thing has certainly made me interested in learning more about Yasuke and, by extension, the politics of that time period of Japan.
Being as it was around 99, 2000, I had many friends that were into bootleg jap manga and Afro was the talk of the town, and was the first time that I had ever heard of Yasuke.so it should be easy to post the source...
also, google says thats jsut a claim. if there is a source quoting the author saying so....
Even before this latest Netflix project, Japanese cartoonist Takashi Okazaki had already developed a Yasuke-inspired character for his Afro Samurai manga and anime series
As a singularly captivating figure, Yasuke has inspired countless works of popular culture. He first featured as the protagonist of the Japanese children's book Kuro-suke, by Kurusu Yoshio. Later, the manga (and anime adaptation of) Afro Samurai took inspiration from Yasuke's life.
Today, Yasuke’s legacy as the world’s first African samurai is well known in Japan, spawning everything from prize-winning children’s books to a manga series titled “Afro Samurai.”
There were more but I had my drink on and yeah.....Both historical and legendary, Yasuke had nary a chance to grace onscreen media, although he allegedly inspired the protagonist of the densely shaded neo-noir Afro Samurai manga-based anime.
theyre trying to re-write history...Some of these sites have no credibility at all, but it is interesting that so many people have it wrong if it is bullshit, fud I guess?
Yeah good luck with that.theyre trying to re-write history...
