Assassin's Creed Origins gameplay previews

I traveled to Egypt once, I rode a little bit through the Sahara on a Camel, and I've been in the Valley of Kings and walked through a tomb.

That new Gameplay trailer changed my mind. I'm going to pre-order it right ******* now.

Exactly the same. Was there, went to the valley of Kings, went into the pyramids, sa the temples and the incredible historical trasures there.

I absolutely adore Egypt and its history and this looks SUPER faithful to it.

Is it just me or does the running/walking animation look really stiff? Assassin' Creed has always had really excellent animations, but this doesn't really look all that great if you ask me.

In the middle of a story video NPCs walking through Bayek. I hope they fix it.

That's a bug in so many open world games with civilian traffic, not only made by Ubi, it seems pretty hard to prevent/fix for some reason.
 
After the gameplays and trailers they showed at E3, I have go full media blackout with this game. I don't think It will cause a revolution in the franchise but I'm trying to at least be open for surprises by going in blindly.

Also, AC has always been a saga of games that I can simply sit down and relax, without forcing myself to finish the games because huge backlogs or other reasons. Is probably the only saga I can think of that has managed to reach this status for me.

Basically, I need my AC fix after two years.

Cool, she has a nice design i wouldnt mind having an iption to use her freely in the open world.

One of my favorite games was an old top-down city builder set in Egypt (can't remember the name now).
I can't wait to explore this. It looks incredible.

I do wish they'd fix the back ends of the horses. They have sickle hocks and it makes them move weird. They're better than the ones from Syndicate though. Probably doesn't even register with most people, but as a horse owner, their animation makes me chuckle - like, they wouldn't be winning any "horse dancing" competitions.

Didn't check out all the previews yet, but it's looking really good! The setting is especially beautiful and unique, so that's the biggest selling point for me. I'm also being quite hopeful that it'll be a return to greatness for the series.

Pretty fucking dope that we get to play as husband and wife, though! And totally unexpected for me.

The Easy Allies vid is great also if you look for bit of stealth. Love we get a bow so you can silent take people out from a distance.
 
Amazing vids. My most anticipated game for the rest of 2017.

Too bad the PC version is coming late, but I'm still pre-ordering nonetheless.
 
So excited to explore the city. Thanks for compiling the vids, op. Just watched the Memphis one. I love taking these vacations into these cities of the past.

Absolutely loving what I'm seeing. It's been a while since an AC trailer gave me chills, but Cleopatra, Caesar, Ptolemy, Pompey, WOW! This setting is so much more interesting to me than most of the previous games, and I love the more RPGish slant. Plus my dad was born and raised in Alexandria.

Yeah, I think I'll buy this for the Pro.

What's the facial animation in this one? It looks really rough which is surprising considering that AC games had good facial animation even back in AC2 days.
