Liking the sound of this, especially more RPG elements.

Having a female warrior protagonist from that era seems innacurate.

In a game where the premise is that your DNA holds a second-by-second account of your ancestry, I think a female protagonist is a minor problem

(plus we all know why this change has been made).

they just need to add more depth to the gameplay, origins didnt even require stealth like they used to, to much effort i guess. typical of ubisoft to creat a great looking game but put no effort into actual gameplay or characters

The environment and attention to detail was seriously impressive though.

They need to bring back some of the mechanics from Unity/Syndicate. Those assassination missions were brilliant.

There are quite a few different species of shark in the Med. Many of them dangerous.

Great whites for example. Some true giants caught near Malta.

when it was ezio i actually wanted to follow his story and back then the modern story was actually bareable.
i liked, i think from brotherhood when doing the main missions you had objectives where doing them would complete the memory 100%.
they also added the extended leap(up) which if done wrong you would end up jumping off the wall to your death, now theres to much hand holding, i remember when u had to time jumps just right, the tombs were always a good challenge aswell.

Ezio had the last great story. Both stories were fantastic and the tombs were a genuine challenge. I quite liked AC3 surprisingly, the environment was stunning and the story decent, but that was the start of the decline in the story. These days the story seems to be an after thought. I did thoroughly enjoy Origins though, the gameworld and attention to detail blew my mind. I hope they have continued to refine it for this one.

Most hours I have put into any AC game, even black flag, by far. This will be a day one purchase for me, loved origins.

Well, it's kinda complicated the way all the different studios involved overlap their timelines and responsibilities....but it's a different lead studio, Quebec in this case.

In other news...no new AC in 2019, dev is focusing on 2 years of post-launch content for Odyssey :>

Good to hear they are taking another break. Hopefully to continue to push the series forward. Origins was very good, I hope this is as good, but also not just a copy of the game mechanics.

Sounds good to me!

If it's anything like origins I would say it'll run pretty well at 1080, not sure about 2560 though.

It barely even pushed my 1080Ti. Destroyed my cpu though (i7 4770k @ 4.5ghz).

Very tempted by Assassin's Creed Origins on Steam at £25, worth it?

Crazy worth it. Hope this is not just a copy.

CaptainRAVE · 14 Sep 2018 at 09:33

That has me pretty hyped. The top edition is pretty pricey though, although I may be tempted

A copy? On you mean the new game?

The new game.

CaptainRAVE · 17 Sep 2018 at 20:19

Think I am going to go for the gold edition too.

CaptainRAVE · 2 Oct 2018 at 10:05

Does this unlock on Steam today or just Uplay?

CaptainRAVE · 2 Oct 2018 at 21:44

Gold edition bought with the discount. Great saving. Just need time to play now....before the max level timed quests start :rolleyes:

CaptainRAVE · 3 Oct 2018 at 11:07

So. Verdict? As good as Origins?

CaptainRAVE · 3 Oct 2018 at 13:29

Excellent, desperate to get home and play it (well, download it!).

This is the last place I would have expected people to buy into the early access scam, gaming is going to go down a dark dark road

What are you on about? You can buy it and play it now and it is also 20% off through the Ubisoft store. I don't get the problem?

True , though the motivation (for me at least) to get the Gold edition was really down to the fact that it includes all expansions/DLC in that edition, which if I had bought the standard edition I would have ended up needing to buy anyway down the road, so the Gold edition was a good deal (with the 20% off and 3 day headstart being merely additional bonus to getting all the expansion/dlc)

This. Whilst also keeping in mind that Origins had some significant DLC and they seem to be planning the same for this. Early access has nothing to do with it. That is just a nice bonus.

Nar, every publisher is doing it now. Forza has the same 4 day crap for no reason locked behind it's most pricey edition, I'm not sure how anyone could rationalize this into being anything other than a farce. Few years ago people would have been up in arms about publishers locking release dates behind extra paywalls.

Apart from the fact that you are jumping on the anti-gaming practice bandwagon (most practices of which I don't like either), why shouldn't people have the option to pay more if they want early access (not that this is happening here)? It's their money. If there was a game that I really really wanted, say Elder Scrolls 6 for example, I would happily pay a lot of money to play it early (especially if it was coming out during my time off work).
