If anyone's sceptical about the draw-distance, they should go play Wildlands. Whatever tech is letting them do it is very impressive.

Did not know this was Roman era (Caesar especially) Egypt. Sounds like a little too late in history for "Origins". Was expecting actual true pre-Ptoloemic Egypt.

Still making my way through Syndicate. Don't know if I will get this day one but it's really tempting now.

I was personally hoping for Amarna era Egypt, but I can't turn down my man Cesar and Cleopatra.

Exciting times.

Fucking amazing. Just wondering how much of that is playable though.

If the story is any good (or even if it isn't) this is looking to be a really good game. I can't believe after all these years I'm starting to buy AC games day one again. Did it last year for Syndicate and got my favorite AC game, and this one looks worth the dough as well.

Egyptian's culture is both mysterious and intriguing to me. So happy to see that Ubisoft is tackling this subject with its technical prowess in creating beautiful cities. I need to be there Day 1 to see how they deliver with this title. So far, it looks promising.

Anyone know if when you reach a landmark a preview pops up on screen, and you can click into the full description?

One of my pet peeves about syndicate is you would get to new landmarks but wouldn't see description about it until you dug into menus.

I'm torn on what to do

buy Oct 27th (launch) for PS4 Pro, stick with that
wait until Xbox X is out (Nov 7th? 9th?) and play on that
just wait longer, post black friday may be a sale or two on the game and play on X

Combine that with the fact that buying SP ubisoft games at launch is kind of a mess, especially when you can buy the gold edition for 50% off a few months later when all the DLCs are also out, its becoming increasingly tough to pre order Ubisoft games.

Can't really go wrong with either, but for the Dolby Atmos support alone I'd wait for the X version.

The funny thing about this is that I had this same exact thought when I read that.

This might be their strongest game since BF.


It will need to be amazing to top Horizon. Even with Beard growth.

I actually got pretty bored with horizon. It's one of the most beautiful games I've seen though. I need to get back to it and give it another shot. I'm not implying AC is going to be better mind you.

Literally everything. :D The major change they made to the climbing system besides the controls and responsiveness are that nearly everything is flagged as climbable, so if you see a mountain, you can just climb it without looking for obvious handholds.

I'm scared at being hyped for this game. I haven't played an AC since 4. Please don't let me down, Ubisoft.

Origins:
  • Has beard growth
  • Pyramids

Horizon:
  • Doesn't have beard growth
  • No pyramids

QED.

As someone who has only played a few hours of the first Assassin's Creed, I find myself very excited for this. Are the season passes in these games generally worthwhile, or is it something to hold off on until a later date?

I don't think AC games have had very good season pass content personally. It's rare for any game to have a worthwhile season pass.

Depends, they usually contain mini campaigns with some new mechanics and either new maps or revamped versions of existing maps.

Someone on reddit noticed this, remember this leaked shot that the head of content said was not AC:

it's actually the pyramid in this new demo:

Any word on the PS4 Pro version of the game and how it compares to the Xbox One X and PC? I suppose I could always buy the PC version and just play it on my 4K tv (if a 1080ti is enough to play this well, we all know how PC ports are these days).

When I first saw this at E3 I gave it a hard pass. Now after seeing all this new footage since then, I might actually get this one. Looks really good, plus it'll give me something new to play on the X. :D

If they're carrying over the improvements from Unity, Rogue and Syndicate, as well as the new systems and mechanics, you're in for a hell of a nice surprise. Things have changed a lot since 4.

Do any of these previews go into detail about actual new stuff in terms of gameplay, quests? I mean at first glance it really doesn't look like just another AC with a different look and new location, which is really good.

Looks pretty slick, like how nimble and fast the main character is. Not sure of the combat, I hate the screen shudder on hits.
