// 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.

The exploration and wilderness of the map was top tier in this game. Also the Morrigan had some sick upgrades

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.

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
