Those playing AC Shadows…

Did ya’ll enable canon and immersive mode?

I went with Japanese voices anyway, so what’s the difference with that and enabling/disabling immersive mode?

And canon, that’s how Ubi intended it? I want to have choices of my own though, so I’m leaning towards off.

AC Shadows showing it once again, like some other games how 40fps is the way to go. So far minimal visual differences but those extra ten fps make a world of difference.

Performance mode doesn’t even seem to be 60fps to me.

I’m playing with English voices and regular (“non canon”) mode. The choices in the newer AC games are just flavor, it’s not like you’re making major branching plot decisions. It’s a nice option for people who don’t like dialogue trees and just want to watch a cutscene though.

Thats…not always true. There are some pretty consequential choices in Odyssey and Valhalla both mechanically and narratively. That being said if you dont want it to be somewhat RPGy then canon is for you!

I’m almost starting to lean toward using English voices too, because NPC chatter is not subbed when using Japanese voices. That’s a bummer. But not enough to start using English.

I tried all three modes and 60FPS is my prefer mode, the lighting isn’t something that I mind because I think the game looks really good regardless.

I think immersive mode gives you stuff like the Portuguese folks speaking Portuguese when appropriate, rather than everything just being Japanese. At least that’s my understanding.

the choices in shadows are similar to odyssye, mostly about saving people or not, you can lose companions and in canon mode some friends don’t make it that you can save otherwise

Personally I can’t imagine any bigger of a faceplant for Microsoft than jeopardizing their amazing backwards compatibility technology and the goodwill that they’ve built up around it. Whatever is next, they had better have a BC solution ready to go.

This is why “insider” culture online is pure cancer. A bunch of people with incomplete information running to share it as soon as possible for clout.

They literally announced a forward compatibility team a year ago.

That’s why Sarah Bond made sure to talk about their “forward compatibility team” last year at the update video they did.
