Any news about the time setting yet? Would be cool if it was set during the end of the Roman Republic.
I wish it was more like the time of the pharaoh, saving slaves and assassinating the Pieces of Eden wielding pharaohs which shows you how they got their powers (the pieces). Game starts before the pyramids are built and has times jumps as we become 'The Assassin' who's values the creed would go on to base their entire priniples off... that's my wish anyway... but that won't happen.Any news about the time setting yet?

All of those story spoilers in the comics are incredible. I need to read them now! I honestly thought that nothing much was happening in the modern day.
So about Desmond and?Juno, who's the mother of Desmond's son and is Juno now technically the main villain of the story as a whole
Edit: Meant to say No one know's who the mother of Desmond's son is, got confused with desmond's mother sorry and yupp she's the main villain. She always has been to be completely honest. Origins is gonna be a real treat for us modern/present day lovers. You can count on it. It's gonna be MASSIVE!
I'm still salty about the name. Like, it's literally the worst thing they could come up with. Even an extremely uncreative name like AC: Egypt would be much better. The Old Kingdom would be a sweet subtitle. Anything than Origins.
No, because Origins has a double meaning : it's set in Antiquity, kind of the "origins" of our societies (an era never explored in the main games) and plans to reveal the origins of the Assassins (meta-story Wise). Maybe a triplicate meaning : going back to the origins of the series in terms of gameplay.
"Big" History / Meta-story / Gameplay : it's smart ; at the opposite Empire says little and they always have subtitles with a meaning that makes you identify something (despite them sounding average most of the time)
always creeped me outShe's
So theorically speaking what would happen if Sony had a marketing deal on this too?
Looking forward to what the year off brought them.
No. This is the Black Flag team. It's been in development longer than their usual cycle. There wasn't a game last year.That might actually be next year. Since these games are made by alternating teams on alternating years, I believe, just like Call of Duty. (Well, COD is in sets of 3, I thought)
Egypt? I might play my first AC game.
Why ? You people always say "it's the worst ever made, so lazy, uncreative" or whatever but you don't explain why and you don't reply when someone's explaining the title to you.
For instance :
Having a shield makes me think they're going the Souls-inspired/lock-on route, taking cues from For Honor
Which would be horrible. Last thing an Assassin should be doing is turtling behind a shield or doing slower 1v1 fighting.
You have to think from a marketing perspective. Osiris and Empire aren't as easily digestible to the average consumer as Origins. Like, how many people know the meaning of Osiris?Because Origins has been done so many times. People have linked the list. Sure you can go "oh, there is a double meaning and it could be about the origins of modern man" but its not.
Its meant to be "oh this is the one before everything else".
If you want double meanings a good subtitle would have been Osiris, representing the god of rebirth and transition as this is a transition period for AC.
Origins is just so "marketing" that it hurts. I also don't know if its going to affect sales, since Origins just reeks of "spin off" and compared to mainline games, spinoffs never sell as well.
See God of War Ascension and Gears of War Judgement

Assassin's Creed is pretty much synonymous with subtitles at this point tho. Like, Black Flag, Unity, and Syndicate all moved the story forward in some way. It's only the main historical protagonist who's much further back in time.I know Origins is completely a marketing based title, and thats why I dislike it.
It feels so frustrating to me. Egypt is a setting I've always wanted for the series, and its being tagged with one of the most overused subtitles in gaming.
And I don't know if because of this title, people will write it off as a spinoff as seen in other games that do prequels, like GOW Ascension.

They rolled back to a single male protagonist after the great twins from Syndicate... For me that's a pass right there. Really over the brooding dude protagonists.
Literally all we know is that it's called Origins and set in Egypt, so I don't know what you are basing the 'spinoff feel' from. If it's because well.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed Revalations
Assassin's Creed Unity
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Assassin's Creed Origins
At this point the un-numbered mainline games outnumber the numbered. They have more than enough data to know this isn't hurting sales or they would have changed it.
Assassins Creed Liberations was a spinoff.
Who has been 'brooding' in this series as a protagonist? Shay?They rolled back to a single male protagonist after the great twins from Syndicate... For me that's a pass right there. Really over the brooding dude protagonists.
My dude prequels not selling is usually for a whole lot of different reasons than the subtitle, for instance, God of War Ascension sold poorly because the hack and slash genre in general was in decline. And Gears was an incredibly iterative prequel with some minor changes that greatly affected the fun factor of the MP and a less than stellar campaign mode.I have no problem with games having subtitles, its just the word Origins. I am basing this not on AC's history, but because almost every prequel with a subtitle typically never sells as well.
Then again, AC3 is still the highest selling AC game so I guess they are comfortable with this title.

1920's Egypt it is. Can't wait to see footage of it running on the Pro and Scorpio.

Well just remember that this was the setting the CD wanted to work on after Black Flag.Ok... you are probably right there.
I just hope Origins is really distinguishing itself from previous AC's.
Wonder if the series will go back to its religious roots with this entry. I always liked learning about the Egyptian Gods.

Fingers crossed for the opposite, i want more current day "trash". #1 reason i buy all the games.Fingers crossed that all of the current day trash is cut out or optional past the starting cutscene.
I'll kind of give you Altair but that was a game made a decade ago. Connor and Arno were definitively not brooding by any definition of that word that I know. Arno sucks but he wasn't brooding. Also, you're making huge assumptions on a character who hasn't been revealed yet.Altair, Connor, Arno, Shay...it's always the same shit.
