Assassin's Creed V - Leaked pic from Ubisoft's studio | Forums

It's a blade?? It looks more like a gun to me... (but then it's blurry)


edit: btw, I don't know why this image looks a bit familiar but I think someone had posted a fan art (about a British assassin) a few days ago here on this forum. And it looked similar to this. Does someone remember this pic? Just in case we're being trolled...

I dunno, it looks too skinny to be a gun, but it's not at the right angle to be a hidden blade (unless it pivots like Connor's)

It would be a very successful troll, LOL. Whatever the case is, at least this is keeping up busy, haha.

Regarding the gun... IDK, it looks more like a hidden blade to me.

I really don't like the revolver thing... I hope that's not the case.

Remember getting a gun in the AC3 present day Abstergo mission? Yeah. Like the games needed to be any easier. Let's go back to when we didn't have a gun. At all.

I hope it's either not a gun at all, or... it is a gun, but a hoax.

I hope it's a gun just so I can laugh...

What makes you think the guns will be based off that one short segment of AC:3, lol? If anything, it'll be like AC:3 and AC:L because last I check, they too had guns.

Uhm... because a revolver is a lot more similar to a semi-automatic double action handgun seen in modern day times than a flintlock is. 6-8 shots, possibility of having multiple guns = Really?

In AC3 and AC4 (if you decided to use the golden pistols) you could kill like 4 dudes at the drop of a hat. That was too much as it is.

Please tell me you see why this would be a problem. Only way it would be somewhat possible but still kinda easy is to rework the entire game's structure. If they were going to do that, I'd rather a much improved combat system than improved gunplay. Going back to AC1-AC2 times or earlier would be a lot more interesting IMO.

Sleeve Pistol anyone?

The Bad*** is strong with this Assassin...

Well, to be fair-- If you've noticed, guns and long range tools tend to get a little more nerfed every game. Hell, even firing 4 shots in AC:IV was slower than what it was in AC:3 and AC:L. With knowing how they usually handle these things, if they give us an actual revolver, the most it'll do is offer better animations, lol.

AC:1-AC:2 had it's occasional problems with long range too, you know. Those throwing knives were more OP than guns. So can't say I'm worried at all.

Well, okay.

On a more personal level instead of from a balance perspective, I'm getting bored of guns in AC. From the enemies too. Maybe these type of guns would be enough to mix it up, but if you have revolvers, unless it's a scenario where the Assassin has the first ever revolver based on some lost technology, the other enemies will have automatic weapons like sub machine guns. That's just... not AC.
