there is no actual proof he was actually from Africa. He could have easily been from somewhere like Bangladesh.

There's that, but there's also this really odd quote:

he impressed with size, strength, and wits; he served under the Japanese daimyo Oda Nobunaga.​

Considering they've been dropping hints that Yasuke is gay, this line becomes highly suspect. How happy do you think the Japanese will be if Yasuke's backstory is in this game that he's banging Nobunaga?

Funny how they say he impressed with 'wits' when the 'official sources' say the japs thought he was funny because he knew some tricks.

At this point, I think it's safe to say that Pokemon Conquest is a more historically accurate adaptation of Nobunaga's time.

As I've said earlier, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter is more historically accurate than this. At least they got the fact that Abe was actually president right.

While I do expect a level of historical accuracy in an AC game, I acknowledge that liberties will be taken. Generally speaking, the people in the games roughly add up to who they were and what they did in reality. AC just adds on the whole Templar/Assassin/sci-fi stuff on top.

This is different. Really different. It's outright historical revisionism at this point.

Something the progressives don't like to admit is that the black community is generally pretty hostile to LGB stuff. Never mind the T hanger-ons to whom they're particularly not nice to.

(actually, they're pretty hostile to anyone outside of the black community, but I digress)

This will probably hurt them. Though the reason is pretty fucked, i still take a perverse pleasure in any pain that comes their (Ubi's) way.

They're pretty hostile towards it, but they're also disproportionately part of the fag community. I think it's along the lines of 1 in 5 trannies are black when they're 1 in 8 of the United States population. Hispanics also have a high percentage of trannies compared to their percentage of the population.

This will probably hurt them.

I bet Tariq Nasheed preordered when he heard about the gay angle in the game.

They're also number 1 when it comes to who kills the most T's.

Which I suppose fits into how black on black crime is also pretty darn high.

Surprised about the Hispanics though, as they're still greatly tied to Christianity on a cultural basis.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

They're number 1 when it comes to any violent crime statistic.

That's one thing I thought was funny about UbiSoft doing this in light of the recent #StopAsianHate thing which quickly got scrubbed when they found out what demographic was doing the vast, VAST majority of violent crimes against Asians. It's almost like you could take some of the action oriented screenshots from this game, slap #StopAsianHate on there and really upset UbiSoft's apple cart.

Yeah, I'm aware

This game is Western negrophile fantasy disguised as a multimillion dollar entertainment product.

From Ubisoft's news post:

Yasuke: A Real-Life Samurai

The decision to include a playable, real-life historical figure of this era in Assassins’ Creed Shadows was two-fold: Ubisoft Quebec wanted to include a Samurai, and Yasuke’s story was open-ended enough to allow for creativity; there are still plenty of questions and speculation surrounding him. The fascinating facts, though, were undisputable: of African origin, he arrived in Japan enslaved by the Portuguese; he impressed with size, strength, and wits; he served under the Japanese daimyo Oda Nobunaga. There must have been something exceptional about Yasuke to succeed in the service of a personality like Nobunaga’s, the team explains, and the goal has been to expound on this in Assassin’s Creed Shadows through his curiosity, openness, respect for values and tradition, valor, warmth, and charisma.

He also offers a unique perspective on the period: players can discover Japan alongside him. On one hand, he serves as a warning for the colonizing threat that the Portuguese present, and on the other, he adapted and thrived in Japan, and can be viewed as an example of the meritocratic structure established under Nobunaga. In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, his historical story is established, and then developed and expanded from that point (the team won’t spoil how he’s linked to Assassin’s Creed’s lore; players will have to play the game to find out).

The difference in their social stature is reflected in the world itself, which will respond differently to the player depending on who they are playing as. Naoe, for example, can present herself as a peasant and garner appropriate reactions; that is, if she wants to be seen at all. Yasuke, on the other hand, comes from a different land, but his status as a samurai garners respect from others, so people will bow to him on the streets. Characters can have different expectations of the pair, and in some cases, will prefer to deal with only one or the other.

It has also been suggested today that both characters are LGBT because of the following paragraph (taken from the same post)

Naoe and Yasuke’s disparate personalities also lead them to have different relationships and rapports with other characters, and they don’t always feel the same way about people, nor do people always feel the same way about them. Romantically, they will also attract and be attracted to different types of people. Through the pair, players will get to experience a multitude of relationships.

LMAO if nigga was so strong, agile and smart why didn't her outrun fucking net?

Not like Japs respect their own history.
They'd probably turn Nobunaga into a 3000 year old Loli.

Already happened somewhat

It will be pretty hilarious actually:

"Despite being only 0,000013 percent of the population, blacks commit 52% of all murders"

the only thing to do is send someone from Codex to Africa and report back about what their video games are like

Dunno if posted already because i'm not keeping up with this topic or related niggery. Saw on 4chan.

 

[TheKing01]

How will they handle Yasuke walking around in Japanese villages? Will everyone just be in awe at him 24/7?

It's going to be very strange if he's just regarded as another inhabitant of Japan, considered that'd be the first time a lot of the local Japanese populace would have ever seen a black man.

 

[Elttharion]

The japanese villages will be filled with niggers, of course.

Ah so, nigga.

Didn't you know that every country at every point in history is exactly like the modern American zoo?

Remember the 'AC Shadows is a best seller in Amazon Japan posts'? Well, look at the number of sales:

 

[deuxhero]

Reminds me of the survey that said "DS" (could be DS+3DS) was still significantly strong among Japanese youth (Yahoo Auctions shows all but the legitimately rare DS+GBA titles go cheap there and the hardware is negligible cost).

Is the gay Yasuke thing confirmed? Or just projections based on Ubisoft history?

 

[Fedora Master]

It's probably gonna be a "You can romance anyone as any character" kinda deal

And following Baldur's Gate 3 success, by anyone I assume you literally mean anyone with DNA.

IIRC in the last two major AC games every romance option was playersexual so probably the same thing here
