Assassin's Creed: Victory Wishlist - 10 Things Fans Demand

4. Make The Best Use Of The New Swing Mechanic

So far the only thing shown that resembles a new mechanic so far is the above shot of whoever the new character is swinging around what looks like a train station - something that's either going to shake up the foundations of AC considerably by opening up your horizontal movement speed - or be as forgettable as Revelations' hook-blade. The key is to not be context-sensitive, as having certain outcrops or points in the map where you can deploy your sick new gadget only serves to hamper its use overall - or the feeling that you can tackle any given scenario in a unique new way to the series. The aforementioned hook-blade didn't really do anything other than let you leap onto some ziplines or clamber ledges slightly faster - and thus it's integral that whatever this new swing mechanic is be used to let you essentially become something of a Spider-Man/Assassin-hybrid.
