Absolutely everything on the HUD can be turned off. Centerstrain has a video that shows the game completely HUD-less. Not even an aiming reticle for the bow, and yeah, he can't hit shit with it.. hehe.

One thing Witcher 3 did better than any other open world Ive played was the sense of realistic scale and the shift from wilderness to countryside to outskirts to suburbs to city. It felt completely natural
The footage Ive seen of Origins looks similar, with the sizable wilderness, the little villages, the larger costal towns, and the huge cities

Yup. Origins is undeniably heavily inspired from The Witcher 3.

Jeez...I count 34 regions/areas on that map when it's zoomed out. Yeah, definitely the biggest AC game thus far.

And three major cities like the first and second games. Alexandria, Memphis, Giza
Looks like we're gonna get one of the best single release days in gaming. Hopefully all 3 games will deliver.

Jesus, just look at how small those pyramids are on the map, this game looks pretty huge. I am getting serious Witcher 3 vibes from what I have seen, really hope it lives up to the hype

About as big as Black Flag but mostly all land. Also, it looks like the cities are signifcantly bigger than the Black Flag cities too, not quite Rome/London//Paris big but around Venice.
So got the game preloaded now. Bought the game through the Hong Kong store. Weird thing is. That the deluxe edition is cheaper then the normal edition if you have Gold.

Let's hope Origins can deliver on their open world. Games seem to be really stepping it up after Prey earlier this year and now ELEX.
Awesome. One of my favorite parts of 2 was going through multiple cities in the game.
How disconnected is this game from Syndicate and Unity? Those are the only two I haven't played/finished (only part way through unity) so I don't want to miss any continuation if I don't have to.
This game is really a soft reboot of the franchise. Bayek is gonna be the first of the Creed and future games will build on Origins.
Preparing myself for another 100gb monster lol
Dont think it will be that big.
The city of Giza didn't exist at that time. It was founded after the Muslim invasion. In Origins it's basically the necropolis of Memphis, mixed with camps and maybe villages.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
From the demos we've seen more side quests than main quests. The game is filled with story based side quests in order to portray the life of Egypt and help establish Bayek's personality. They keep emphasizing how much effort was put into them. Like this is one side quest in the game. And there are tons more like it where you meet characters and such.

I mean...Im not expecting Witcher 3 quality...maybe from a scale and graphical standpoint, but no way from a character development writing standpoint (Would love to be proven wrong).
Im simply expecting this to be a simple AC game which I tend to enjoy (and hopefully be delightfully surprised).
I dug Black Flag as that team seems to have a sense of what "fun" is in an open world game.

Nah more like around 50 which is pretty much standard these days for games like this.

I'm staying away from any footage, want to go in as fresh as possible. But that is really good to hear man. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Dear God, that's a lot of viewpoints to unlock.

Microsoft has the exclusive rights to showcase the game. But they had plenty of time to do that. I need to see how the PS4 version performs. I really don't want to pay $60+ for something that will run like Unity.

I dreamt last night that the game unlocked on my ps4, the hype is real.
