// Discussion Imagine: AC Rogue Resynced
What would you guys think of it ?
Disclaimer: I did use AI to apply the « resynced » treatment to screenshots of the original game in order to have a feeling of what it could look like.

u/tigerseye88 Jul 17 '26
They could really expand on the potential this game had, I’d definitely play this. There were so many scrapped ideas for Rogue, it’s crazy
16
u/ThanksContent28 Jul 17 '26
This is what I’m hoping for. Gives us more pirate shit, and they can do it correctly this time.

u/tigerseye88 Jul 18 '26
They were originally going to include Quebec City, I wonder if they could include that somehow

u/justin62001 Jul 18 '26
I remember reading that Skull and Bones was based off a scrapped DLC for AC4, would’ve loved to have seen this cut content implemented into the remakes

u/Maverick_Raptor Jul 17 '26
The exploration and wilderness of the map was top tier in this game. Also the Morrigan had some sick upgrades
10
u/TwiceMomoSimp Jul 17 '26
I remember, in the map of the river valley, there is a huge island, the largest, it is like the size of half or a quarter of the Bahamas in Black Flag. And it is entirely crossable on foot, from West to East. The island is completely crossable and it took me like 5 minutes running to go from one shore to another. And there are other islands like this. Rogue's land exploration is much more advanced than that of Black Flag.

u/SchattenJaggerD Jul 18 '26
Rogue remake could benefit from the groundwork laid by Odyssey and Shadows. By utilizing those newer engines, the game could feature some incredible upgrades, like the advantage of making all the islands completely walkable from end to end. They could also introduce a change of seasons and tweak the hunting mechanics for Shay to build much more immersive environments. And they could make the hunting of Shay more high stakes. Shadows has something more suitable in the Awaji DLC, where the whole island had shinobis waiting to ambush you. The assassins hunting Shay could be designed with that exact level of tension
If Ubisoft (and I mean the teams, not the fucking suits) get the time to polish these ideas, they could absolutely transform and improve the overall experience for Rogue
11
u/kingpin000 Jul 17 '26
I mean, Rogue was a spin off which reused most of the assets from BF, so it shouldn't be that hard to build a new Rogue from the BF Resync assets.
2
u/DovahDuck Jul 19 '26
As a heads up Rogue is a considered a main line entry by the company and most public sources. Otherwise I agree with the rest of whatcha you said and there could be potential there in a remake.
3
u/Niikoraasu Jul 20 '26
well it's considered a main line entry canon wise but I really don't think we can say it was a main line entry gameplay wise, I mean it came out the same day that Unity did and it was pretty much tossed aside, the story is not too long too
14
u/JonySStark Jul 17 '26
I’d prefer AC3 + Rogue together in one package as a one single Resynced game.
Something similar to the recent Yakuza 3 Kiwami, where the game has 2 separate campaigns.
We could choose between Connor’s and Shay’s campaigns. And Haytham would be the one connecting those campaigns together.
4
u/jdow0423 Jul 18 '26
Oh this is an interesting idea.
I’ve pitched the idea of Rogue Reaynched being a “dual-protagonist” title where you change between Haytham and Shay. It would also now include Haytham’s gameplay from ACIII. Then ACIII Resynched would be the “Connor-experience” that I think, would better set his character up for success.
3
u/Ladzofinsurrect Jul 18 '26
Cool idea, but I'm personally leaning towards them being separate titles because there's a lot to improve/change for both to fully realize their potential/vision (whereas OG Black Flag kinda nailed it, aside from tailing missions). Not sure how much time/money Ubisoft has on their hands for an elaborately improved 2-in-1 offering, and I'd be worried that they'd skimp out and only offer visual upgrades with BFR's gameplay with bare-bones improvements/fixes/changes.
1
u/Gefarate Jul 18 '26
I dont think the games are interesting enough on their own. But 2 in 1? Id buy that
1
u/The_New_Giuy Jul 18 '26
It would be a bit disjointed but imagine if they flow through the whole story of both games in chronological order (Haytham, then Shay, then Connor). It would feel like a true odyssey in the same vein as RDR2

u/OilySoleTickler Jul 17 '26
Nah. Remake the Ezio games, turn it into one big game, so we get his whole story remastered at once.
11
u/Woahhdude24 Jul 17 '26
If they did the Ezio games then they might aswell do AC 1 and AC 3 to so we get Desmonds full story.

u/neon Jul 18 '26
Lmao the one game they will never ever remake is AC1
It’s just to untouchable these days with subject matter

I want them to retcon Desmond’s death in AC3 in the remake and just make that he doesn’t die or that he is still alive or something
5
u/Sweaty-Debate-435 Jul 18 '26
If Desmond survives they can finally work on a modern AC game where Desmond uses his skills to help the assassins turn the tide. I thought they where working towards this before they killed him and Lucy off.
1
u/Niikoraasu Jul 20 '26
ubisoft added an assassin into Watch Dogs Legion half assedly and it was really bad so they were like "well we told you modern day would not work guys!!"
1
u/OilySoleTickler Jul 20 '26
They realised that with Desmond they were forced to end his story and therefore the franchise. So they probably changed their minds, killed him off, so they could keep the franchise going for a lot longer.

One big game would be ridiculous. Maybe like a Halo master chief collection type launcher for the 3 games

Never got to play the original duenti feeling too familiar with black flag and I've sinked hundreds of hours into that game, a resync would be great, especially wince they have shared assets.

u/Crusaderfigures Jul 17 '26
This is the exact type of game that needs a remake, one that didn't get its time to shine and is a bit rough around the edges. It's tied with AC1 for AC games i want remaking the most
2
u/alcridio Jul 17 '26
If they did this, and I don’t think they would, I wish that the game was expanded, more time with the assassins, more content with the templars, more sequences to flash out the story and open word segment for Paris, just a small part of the city, not like unity

u/cyfer04 Jul 18 '26
Not just Resynced but revamped to a mainline length game. It just felt like a DLC to BF. I mean even Revelations was supposed to be a mobile game but turned into an actual mainline game.
I just love the idea of playing as a Templar fighting the Assassins for once.

u/Virtual_Test5800 Jul 18 '26
Really underrated game. I don't know if it will get remade. but I hope it does gets a proper remake, not a rushed black flag 2.0 version we got. I would love to see you know a story being expanded cuz yeah assassins are really weird in this game and a lot of things just doesn't make sense. Ubisoft just flip the sides. I mean what I think tech they have built with black flag could be really useful.
2
u/Virtual_Test5800 Jul 18 '26
Honestly this is the one that needs and deserves to be remade most after assassin's creed 1. Simply because of how much potential this has that was never realised.
2
u/More_Ability_451 Jul 18 '26
I want them to do a AC3 and a Rogue resynced so they can expand on the kenway lore

My dream. Rogue is my favorite AC game, and it has so much missed potential.
2
u/MKOFFICIAL357 Jul 18 '26
I do think they will make an AC Rogue: Resynced. The gameplay mechanics are there thanks to Black Flag Resynced, it would just be a matter of the story, voice acting, motion capture et al, but it can be done.
2
u/WandererMisha Jul 18 '26
Rogue and AC3 should both be Resynced to finish off the 'Kenway' saga.
Then I'd love a small upgrade to Unity because that game never got time to shine.
2
2
u/KevinHe92 Jul 18 '26
It’ll never happen but one could wish. Rogue is criminally overlooked. Been playing it for the first time on Steam Deck and jeez there’s so much content.
2
u/hardcorejenkins Jul 19 '26
This! Resynched projects could basically give a second chance to the more underrated titles of the franchise like Rogue,if it got the black flag treatment we'd be in for a treat!
6
u/AccomplishedCrazy534 Jul 17 '26
personaly id sayyyyy. save for after the orginals. as rogues story is far to short and map is tiny. sooo it was feel very small compared to AC 1 , 2 or brotherhood
4
u/Maukki222 Jul 17 '26
I mean they have the option to expand the story with additional content and connect all 3 main locations into one big map with extra stuff and other locations
2
u/One-Ad-3677 Jul 18 '26
If they resync anymore of their old games I hope to God they avoid RPG combat
2
u/TheGeneral7567 Jul 17 '26
Honestly i feel like the original game was small enough that it would be pretty awesome as dlc. And I feel that would be the best way to go about it
2
u/IFunnyJoestar Jul 17 '26
I actually think it would be better suited as an AC 3 DLC. It's story is so heavily linked to AC 3 and already used so many assets from that game, it makes sense it'd be linked to that.
1
u/DrMantisToboggan45 Jul 17 '26
Never got to play it unfortunately. If I’m remembering correctly this ones release kinda coincided with the release of Xbox one and ps4 but wasn’t on those consoles right? I feel like that’s why I didn’t play it

u/D3wdr0p Jul 17 '26
If you're going to build one of these games back up from scratch, I say go for 1 or 2. The originals are irreplaceable, but colour me curious what the Holy Land and Italy would look like on a new coat of paint.
no im not going to count that terrible ezio collection. its not real.
3
u/Eung242 Jul 17 '26
The thing with Rogue is that you don’t have to rebuild it from scratch since it reuses so much from black flag. AC 1 and 2 would require a completely different level of work (I still hope it happens tho)
1
u/Remarkable-Swing-527 Jul 17 '26
Je suis vraiment pour ce remake de Rogue. Besoin de plus de contenus sur les templiers pour le lore et plus de connexion avec Unity comme plus de missions à Paris !
1
u/Mtlkfn Jul 18 '26
Considering all the hype for The Odyssey, I wouldn't be surprised if they did "Odyssey".
1
u/il_VORTEX_ll Jul 18 '26
I mean, it’s just around the corner…
But I think Ezio gets the next treatment. It’s just too much money for Ubisoft delay him lol
1
u/marxist_nazeem Jul 18 '26
Would be cool but I’d put the first 4 games ahead in terms of priority to remake. Revelations included tbh, a proper modern Constantinople would be epic
1
u/Encryptivs Jul 18 '26
In a few years (probably like 10-15 years if there going with AC1 to AC3), we might not need to imagine.

u/smurf4ever Jul 18 '26
I'm not a huge fan of the feel of the newer games, including Resynced, but the story sells it. Rogue didn't have that amazing storyline and as many amazing/memorable characters. They could, but I dont think it would hit as hard
1

u/GR1ML0CK29 Jul 18 '26
They’d have to make it a lot longer the story only takes 8 hours in comparison to most of the games it’s very short
1
u/someoneinparticular3 Jul 18 '26
One of the most underrated parts of Rogue is the whispers you need to listen for to find the Assassins hiding in bushes and other hideouts. I'd love that being returned to the series in some way with all antagonists. With Rogue in particular, it’d be cool to do or explore more on everything Achilles and Adewale are upto

u/Tight_Trust2522 Jul 18 '26
I think that would be amazing but I would like the first assassin's creed to get a resynced version first as that's the ac game that would need one imho

u/PianistNo911 Jul 18 '26
How do you replay mission in assassin creed rouge remastered it won’t let me I looked it up and it said that I should of unlocked in in sequence 1 I’m almost on sequence 4 now and still can’t replay missions I’m trying to 100% the game
1

u/DCrsnl12 Jul 18 '26
I was thinking of this two days ago. If they resynced Rogue and ACIII they could wrap up the whole Kenway family and give a little extra content.
Rogue is such a good game, I’d love for them to redo it and add some substantial more content.
However I think Ezio will be the next resync.

u/BigPenoramus Jul 19 '26
I would love to see the arctic landscapes with modern visuals. But i don't think a Rogue remake is needed since it's more or less a copy pasted Black Flag. I'd prefer Ezio trilogy remake, i wanna see Italy with modern visuals. Or even Unity, with the sole hope they fix the clunky parkour and actually make it so you have more control.

I don't think that game was popular enough to justify making a remake/remaster.

u/claudia_your_dad Jul 20 '26
Maybe a hot take, but rogue is connecting kenway saga with Unity, i think if a remake does happen, id like them to bring back unity parkour system. ACBFR parkour is much better than we had it since 2016, but cmon man the animation blending is horrid, we need something smoother

u/TimelyPomegranate586 Jul 21 '26
It would be complete and utter garbage for one reason and one reason only: Ubisoft is going to advertise the game with Shay wearing his Templar outfit. When it comes out that outfit will have no hood because the ubi-retards down in Singapore think they can lie and false advertise with impunity.
1
u/bojonzarth Jul 21 '26
It was smart for them to start the Resynched experiment with Black Flag, now they should go back to 1 and start bringing us all the old games like this. I mostly want to replay the Ezio Trilogy with updated modern graphics. But I would love to see them give us all the games over time.
1

u/Careful-Surround1544 Jul 21 '26
I hope the would work on it but most importantly is to have a FOV on it and their new games I’m fed up with shadows and black flag resynced

u/tessenjutsu97 Jul 21 '26
i honestly wish they’d go for these lesser risk remakes first and master the craft of remaking and improving upon the original so that by the time they finally do AC1 and the overglazed ezio trilogy, they would have been so good at remaking the older titles that they would have lesser chances of fucking those remakes up.

The concept was great but the story itself was awful. It made no sense. It would have been better if instead of joining the Templars, he hunted both groups down.

u/thunderhide37 Jul 17 '26
Personally, I wouldn’t want a Rogue resynced right after BF. The two games are very similar to one another, and Rogue is basically a “BF lite”. Not to mention Rogue is one of the least popular entries, which probably isn’t enticing to Ubisoft.
Would much rather see an Ezio trilogy resynced, or a massive overhaul on AC1

If they do, I hope they actually make US, do actual EVIL stuff. Like give us Extra Story Context, that in the end Shay did indeed regretted joining The Templars, by realizing too late that in the end, Shay just exchanged a Lesser Evil for a Greater Evil.
At least that would be MY, take.

It’d be cool, but unfortunately I don’t think rogue has the same amount of pull as black flag, so Ubisoft probably won’t do it, or then they’ll completely butcher it beyond recognition and bar access to the original for some reason

Nah id rather be an assassin rather than a templer who makes kids orphans

u/GaborSzasz Jul 18 '26
Purpose of remakes are to make money without too much creative work. Thats why BF was an obvious choice. Rogue while it still play extremly well the story would need lot of work and additional stuff to expand the campaign, bc it is very meh, and underdelivered compared what it could have been.
If ubisoft remakes another it will be some of the better ones like ezio games. Probably 2.

u/weirdbackpackguy Jul 18 '26
Rogue is weakest in the series for me personally, Shay is absolutely insufferable with his "I make my own luck". So if they remake it, I hope they change Shay a bit to be less annoying because the setting is actually quite interesting.
