Your opinions on the horses in the world of Assassin's Creed | Forums

I really love horses, but when I played RDR in 2010, my whole view of horses changed. I wanted horses that moved like they did in Red Dead Redemption.

Also the horses are too huge and the mechanics suck. Also needs more variety in appearance, and maybe also need a stamina bar.

Also why don't we get to ever free roam with wagons?

Well, there are wagons in the Frontier, so maybe we can use one. Not sure why you'd want to, but whatever

Anyway, the horses of AC suck, and always have. Especially the ridiculous galloping animation. It was so bad, I was glad they removed it in Brotherhood. It looked like a freakin cartoon. If you've spent as much time around horses as I have, you'd know that's not a natural-looking stride. Horses don't run like that. And it was the same in AC1 and AC2, not sure why people are saying otherwise.

Did anybody notice that in every version of the Frontier gameplay footage the tail of the horse always clips through it's body the moment Connor dismounts the horse?

I liked the horses the most in AC1. It was weird that you couldn't gallop in ACB with them in Rome. To me, they were unneeded after AC2. I certainly don't think they suck though as mentioned above.

I love it how everyone says in some games "better animation"..

Guys, the Animations of the Horses have been Unchanged since the first Assassins Creed

I was going to say the same, Alex even said that the horses in AC3 will be the same just with increased AI.

I have not...

Horses in AC III look the same yeah. But I won't be using them a lot.... Since I'll be using trees only :P. Let's see if it actually works out.

I think I might just use a canoe and explore around the wilderness. I can't wait to do that. I still wish Ubisoft allows free roaming with naval vessels though, but I think I remember reading that they will be limited to a few missions.

Well, take a look . It wasn't in previous AC games right?

The horse in Red Dead is vastly superior to AC's. I thought ACIII was supposed to have no carried over animations?? I've seen plenty in the two gameplay demos, the most disappointing being the horse from Brotherhood. It still has that ugly slow-mo looking canter. I at least hope they've fixed the standing. It was annoying how as soon as you stood up, directional control became super sensitive and a tap on the stick would turn you at least 45 degrees.

I reckon the reason there were no horses in revelations was because how poorly Brotherhood handled the way it worked with the crowds in the city. Most streets were too narrow and the NPCs reactions were very unrefined.

I think they meant for Connor. I'm sure horses and NPCs still have some recycled animations.

Well, they didn't use horses in ACR because it wasn't necessary. You already had the zip-lines. and, the city wasn't really meant for horses to be in it.
