Assassin's Creed Valhalla

[Tombstone]

"You always start in your settlement, and then you go out into the world – you go on a journey"

Curious...sort of sounds like a hub that you go out, do some missions and then return to, then go out and do some missions etc. Does this mean a move away from the traditional Ubisoft running around a gigantic map going to each ? on the map

I've always liked it when they've tried this in the past, building up your base through quest accomplishments like in
Assassin's Creed 2's Villa Auditore (Monteriggioni)
Assassin's Creed 3's Davenport Homestead
Black flag's Great Inagua hideout
It gives a sense of purpose.
With Origin's and Odyssey, you're running around solely to progress the storyline.

Gameplay reveal tonight, looking forward to seeing what they showcase

Ignore. I thought I was in a different thread

 

[King4aDay]

I've never played an Assassins Creed game! Actually that's not quite true, I tried one years ago for 5 minutes and absolutely hated the main character and his stupid tracksuit and never gave it another chance.

I like vikings though, so might be tempted to get this if it's available for PS5 on launch, doubt my PC is up to it any more .

You all probably read this and it's not really that inconvenient since you need to use the uPlay launcher anyway but part from being sold by UBISoft themselfs, it will only be sold at Epic too. So those that like all their games on Steam, sorry but not this time.

Zoinks, you won't have even played the main part of the game in that case. Desmond is only in it sporadically.

Even Epic Store is not too bad in this case, it just adds the game to the Uplay client and you don't ever have to use Epic again after that. Uplay is decent enough, I am a fan of it. Origin is the one I really can't be doing with which is why I've yet to try out the latest Star Wars game.

You get 20% off using Uplay anyway

Gameplay reveal 4pm BST today

 

[Amatsubu]

I don't find Uplay bad, it doesn't give me any problems. On Epic, I only have Control and all the freebies I snagged from them. Not many problems with the launcher, just with their politics but I'll live with it. Of course I'd prefer to have everything in one place but it's not that big of a deal anyways.

You would have to be insane to not buy it on Uplay anyway, on Uplay you can get 20% off. Nobody else offers that on it, not Epic, not Steam. I only ever buy Ubisoft titles on Uplay because the 20% is too good to turn down.

I know, I do the same here and has in the past as well.

Not sure if you don't already but GoG Galaxy sorts that problem out. https://www.gog.com/galaxy

I'll be buying this one directly on Uplay. I've got all the others on Steam but I want my 20% off!

 

[Amatsubu]

I didn't really think about this but this is very close to Altair's time. I wonder how they'll approach myths and legends, I hope they won't drop them altogether.

 

[Junglist]

So about that gameplay...

 

[dragonslayer]

What the hell they didn't show any gameplay unless I somehow missed it

 

[Tombstone]

Well..if there was any gameplay in there, it was momentary. They should have said it was In Engine footage rather than gameplay.

 

[Junglist]

Lol the dislikes shot up massively once it was shown to just be a trailer

Sounds like they're toning down the fantasy stuff this time around, I'm guessing to avoid comparisons with GOW.
