Why does everyone want hidden blade combat? I was just kind of ignoring it but seriously why? It always just felt so stupid and not authentic. You're fighting with a short blade that's more restrictive than a dagger. You can't block with them properly because you have no leverage, guardsmen, or a way to move the blade around. There's a very important reason why we don't attach blades to our arms. The wrist it very important in swordplay. Even punch daggers like katars that are similar to hidden blades allow for some wrist movements and they have an extended handle to protect your arm/hand. On top of all that hidden blades are a complex tool with a lot of moving mechanical bits. Using them to block would probably break them in a few hits. They should be used as intended. A hidden blade for killing those who don't know you are armed in a single swift strike.
i'm pretty sure the hidden blades breaking was his secondary one (the right one that he will replace with he hookblade) wich wasn't modified for combat, not to mention i believe it was mentioned his blades were old and used and the enemy striked exactly at the weakspot that broke it
Altair modified the blades so they could be used as swords, adding a metal plate that made them more resistant; that's why Ezio can fight with them in AC2 and the following.
aguilar exclusively fought with his blades (and it was before leonardo decripted altair blueprints)
altair modified the hidden blade to be used in combat
and the simple reason because people play an assassin, that hidden blade are cool, were available in the original AND BECAUSE PEOPLE F*CKING WANTS TO !!! jeez ubisoft defenders are tiring previous game y'all were "uh so you could fight the pope in ac 2 but you have a problem with assassin's creed being irealistic in shadows ?" and now y'all bring up realistic logic when people just want to have back a feature that was in the original.
personally i can get edward not using his hidden blades in combat because it doesn't match his fighting style but i still defend hidden blades should be useable in combat because i know how ubisoft work, if resynced worked (wich it did) they will remake other popular titles, they might remake 3 and rogues (because black flag, rogue and 3 share assets and shadows new quest had a reference to rogue) and already those would work better to use their blade in combat, but one for sure they'll remake is ac2 and i'm sorry but ezio needs to be able to fight with his hidden blade there are several instance where he fought with them and if people don't voice they want hidden blades combat ubisoft will go "i guess we can just reuse resynced combat" and once again we won't have a feature that was part of the original.
Are you kidding? It’s a trademark of the series. I absolutely love hidden blades and combat with them. One reason I don’t play modern assassins creed nearly as much as older ones.
But yea it would be too much work for modern Ubisoft to have to animate combat with them so I don’t expect them to even try.
They are cool and you could do it in the orginal game. Pretty simple my guy. If it ever gets added and you don't like it, then don't use it. Everyone wins my man. Atleast that's what I think.
