Assasin's Creed Nexus VR game director Olivier Palmieri discusses the challenges and rewards of translating Assassin's Creed to VR for the first time.
The Assassin's Creed franchise has seen its fair share of shakeups over the years, but Assassin's Creed Nexus VR is a bigger one than most. Although this upcoming title doesn't seek to reinvent the wheel in terms of the core nature of Assassin's Creed, it does attempt to bring staple elements of the series to virtual reality for the first time.
I'd say combat globally was very important, with the axe for Connor, with Ezio's sword or Cassandra's sword or Cassandra’s bow. All those tools that they have were quite key. Stealth, hiding, different ways of hiding, open maps letting the player go where they want. All of that. There were plenty of things that were essential. The Leap of Faith — like everyone wants to maybe do the Leap of Faith in VR. Or try to see what it could do.
We knew we had such a diverse crowd of possible players. And yeah, we wanted, we tried to work a lot to make sure that we introduced the game in a very progressive and careful way in how you play the different characters and how you uncover their tools. So you may not have all the tools at the beginning and you get them along the way for your introduction to those.
Olivier Palmieri: I don't know if it's any particular Assassin mechanics, because anyway we had to rethink and reinvent the game mechanics and how you play an Assassin’s Creed using motion control. But I'd say we love the first ones and we love the stealth aspects. And being stealthy in VR is quite fun. If you want to crouch physically to lean beside a wall to see your target and hide and all that stuff is quite fun to play in VR. I think stealth is a big thing in Nexus.
