Assassin's Creed: Origins Exclusive Gameplay [Memphis} COMPLETE STEALTH / Enemy Stronghold

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqGQ1Dlk45k&t=0s

Just watched this video. Really hoping that you can turn off the enemy outline through walls and the detection meter. Looks gorgeous but it's simply going to come down to the gameplay and how the story/characters play out.

Game is looking so goooood.

holy shit that vegetation 😍

Gonna make my 970 sweat

Nice detail with that hand motion, reminds me of Gladiator.

Was just going to post this!

Honestly, with the next reboot of the series, I hope they set it in a fantasy setting. They would have so much freedom and they could still use historical architectural styles.

A major appeal of the series is exploring architecturally-accurate historical settings

I've always enjoyed the core gameplay loop and have wanted to engage in a story and world that wasn't bound to historical events in any way. Maybe just use those events as a basis for things to happen in your new world (ala Game of Thrones and the War of the Roses) Ridiculously high buildings with multiple layers all smooshed beside each other to accommodate gameplay instead of accuracy.

I don't know, I guess I just want the designers to have more control. I feel like they needlessly limit themselves a lot with this series.

Welp, based on this.. Gotta re-purchase The Witcher 3. Grassgate incoming.

I'm a sucker for rain in games so... will the game feature rainy weather?

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

holy shit that vegetation ��

I wonder if that's using Nvidia Turf Effects tech or something in house.

Past AC games have used Nvidia GameWorks stuff so it's possible.

I'm a sucker for rain in games so... will the game feature rainy weather?

Egypt averages less than 1 inch of rain a year (country wide), it's higher along the coast, Alexandria averages the most but the highest it's ever had (recorded) was 7.87 inches in a year.

I wouldn't expect a lot of rain.

Last AC I remember with rain was Black flag.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I can't wait to play this on my brand new Xbox One X!!! So excited!!!

 

[Crossing Eden]

Last AC I remember with rain was Black flag.

The fact that Syndicate didn't have the rain tech of Black Flag was a crime.

 

[shadow_shogun]

This game looks amazing, but I wish they'd add scabbards for the swords.

 

[Toa TAK]

I just wanna see the Nile flood, guys.

 

[dex3108]

Last AC I remember with rain was Black flag.

Every AC since BF had rain. But rain in Egypt is so rare that it is pointless to put it in game.

 

[Darklor01]

Dear lord, his feet are leaving impressions appropriate with the level of impact in the sand.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I loved the storms in BF.

I don't remember rain in Syndicate, didn't play Unity.

Nuh-uh!

I don't remember rain in Syndicate, didn't play Unity.

It's in there but doesn't have the wow factor of Black Flag's storms.

 

[Messofanego]

Play the Gladiator Lisa Gerrard music during this.

 

[SomTervo]

Rogue had pretty decent rain, didn't it? Thought I just played a Naval mission/fort assault with rain.

Same backbone as Black Flag anyway so it's not surprising.

Here's to hoping ACO has rain.

the original post was strictly about visuals, so yes

What? That's not the post we were discussing? We were discussing this:

Sorry, I've spent over a year(s?) getting increasingly irritated with people just crapping over everything Ubi does because of how badly they handled a bunch of game design things from like 2009-2013 or so. I let that sheer liquid frustration get the better of me. Looks like they do have plenty of touched-up shots. I'm also generally not interested in screenshots and never really follow discussion around that so genuinely never knew ��

A post where I apologised and admitted I was wrong about bullshots and that I was being defensive about the GENERAL bad vibe people have (whether justified or not) with Ubi's output between 2009 and 2013.

It's right there:

people just crapping over everything Ubi does because of how badly they handled a bunch of game design things from like 2009-2013 or so

I moved the conversation away from just visuals/bullshots with that comment, then you responded to it with "2009-2016".

I'm done.

 

[Toa TAK]

I don't think I've been this impressed with the tech of an AC game since the first.

Game looks phenomenal. I'm only concerned with the story. I really hope they can deliver something great, especially since they have so much to work with this go character-wise and the era they inhabit. Sydnicate was fun and a lighter romp due to the characters, but Unity squandered its setting and the main story was mostly a drag like its characters.

Gimmie the goods Ubi.

Did you somehow miss Unity? It's still one of the best looking open world games this gen on PC.

Oh shit, duh.

Unity's still one of the best looking games for me, but it almost always skips my mind. I really should replay it.

Alexandria has actually got its fair share of rainy days (sometimes even hail): https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainfall-Temperature-Sunshine,Alexandria,Egypt

Playing it with "Now We Are Free" when in those parts of the game

EDIT:

Damn beaten

 

[Space_nut]

Deez Xbox One X visuals!!

 

[Klocker]

That 4k Xbox X Gamersyde video, wow glorious.


Can not wait until Nov 7 for those

Spoiler

next gen

graphics

Deez Xbox One X visuals!!

Hope DF goes in depth again with this build. Curious also about the framerate. It looks rock solid.

I thought Rogue, Unity and Syndicate were all pretty decent with their punchy characters. Especially Syndicate - Evie Frye was awesome (even if Jacob was nyeh) and it has a couple of great supports.

Either way I'm not too fussed as long as we don't get loads of modern-day stuff

They also had a lot of awesome stuff to work with in Unity's and Syndicate's settings and those games' stories were still lacklustre at best so I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Crossing Eden]

New video focuses on the country that they built, shows off a bunch of different outfits, the new game structure,
and details about the plot. Also new feature, the torch is throwable so you can light dark areas before you traverse them, what didn't they think of when making this game:

O_O

Also someone noticed a waypoint that 60KM away holy shit....

 

[ScaryShark]

This continues to look like one of the most impressive games of the fall. They've shown a lot of it and I remain intrigued and pumped up for it.

I'm really excited to see how crazy things get that the Assassin's Order needed to be created because of it.

fair enough. i dont think that makes their usage of fake pc footage in trailers any less despicable

Be a locked 30fps

Anyone here listen to Hardcore History? It's going to be awesome seeing the events of Death Throes of the Republic play out in Assassin's Creed

 

[Psychoward]

New in-game trailer also looks amazing

https://youtu.be/Y_J8QXmIcy4

I haven't been following this game at all, only knew it took place in Egypt - the setting being with Caesar and Cleopatra is perfect for me. Gonna look at combat videos, hope it got a serious revamp.

[Heckler456]

Have they mentioned anything about enhancements for the PS4 Pro?

 

[Xando]

The Game of Power trailer really hyped me up for the story. Love that you meet all these famous characters from ancient egypt

 

[Harlequin]

Have they mentioned anything about enhancements for the PS4 Pro?

I wouldn't be surprised if whatever promo agreement they have with Microsoft prohibits them from talking about PS4 Pro enhancements.

 

[Mifec]

MS marketing deal so prolly nothing until release.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Nice detail with that hand motion, reminds me of Gladiator.

Oh dang, that's awesome. Good catch

 

[UrbanRats]

Also someone noticed a waypoint that 60KM away holy shit....

Probably a bug.
We already have the full map, and it doesn't look 60 km. (though big)

 

[MetalliCabombination]

So i just realized we may get to ride a chocobo and fight ff monsters in this game......

 

[Heckler456]

That makes sense. Hope we'll be getting at least something on top of 4k/downsampling.

 

[Crossing Eden]

The map is as big as AC4 but on land, that map was 100 KM as a whole.
