This is the game I played most at E3, and was easily the most impressed by.

Looks pretty good. Egypt doesn't seem as interesting to explore as the huge, packed cities, but otherwise it's the most intriguing AC premise in a while. Will probably get this at some point, maybe on the PS4 since I kinda have the feeling my 970 would struggle trying to run this on higher resolutions.
(I know I'm going to sound like a broken record the way I keep bringing the conversation back to Alexandria but IDGAF
.) Alexandria was actually not much smaller at the time than 18th-century Paris (according to estimates, there were around 500k people living in Alexandria then compared to 600k in Paris in the 18th century). But to be fair, the game version isn't quite as big as the real version and it's hard to tell how AC's Alexandria will compare to AC's Paris in terms of scale. Then again, Alexandria is not the only big city in the game so maybe that will balance things out a bit.Crossing Eden

They said the biggest cities are slightly bigger than the cities in AC4.(I know I'm going to sound like a broken record the way I keep bringing the conversation back to Alexandria but IDGAF
Aww, weapons are level-locked? There goes my plan of sneaking into high level areas for that OP loot.
Oh yeah, sure, I really don't know anything about ancient Egypt so no doubt you're right lol. Alexandria (the biggest city in this one?) will probably satisfy my city exploration needs.

Which is a decent size.
While not as big as Paris or London it felt like they were the perfect size mixed with the open world.
My thoughts exactly. It would be a bit unrealistic for them to be as big as those. Completely different cities.

The fact that there's no loading screens for them is crazy.
Fine with hearing them curse in the recreation of the older Egyptian dialect but hearing English the word bitch in the latest demo was definitely jarring. I assume they'll have nude scenes of Cleopatra, a sex scene with Bayek and his wife, or nude npcs:
This is probably my favourite improvement to last gen. While i loved AC4 the loading screens were very annoying.

Did they change the sluggish controls and combat?
It really wouldn't be that unrealistic. Like I said, Alexandria wasn't much smaller than 18th-century Paris. The main reason it's not as big in the game is that Ubisoft decided against it for practical/technical and/or game design reasons.

They wanted to do that with AC4 too but cross gen.
That camel drank some V-Power before hitting the road.
Might as well just start a high-end PC fund and put 'em in there.
I'm only being half-serious .
.Damn! I love breaking games like that.

There is something about the transition to water in this game that is just bugging me.
Every video I've seen where they jump/dive into water, particularly when there are larger splashes just looks a bit off to me.
I could be brief framerate drops or frametime stuttering or something with the splash effect but I notice it every single time and it bugs me.
See here for an example.

Night time is still looking way too bright. I mean, I get that they can't make it as dark is it would look in real life but they could make it a good deal darker than it currently is and you'd still be able to see everything well enough. Right now it just doesn't look like it's night at all.

Ehh yeah that Persian Commander outfit is fucking awesome.

Fantastic. Hopefully that's not all. Looks like just from a couple of vendors.
Maybe there are also outfits from treasures and/or quests.

Already been confirmed that you can find outfits in tombs and also by beating bosses in the Coliseum.

Hoping we get something like this:
Wanna keep it nice and simple. They seriously nailed the default design this time, genuinely prefer it over everything they've shown so far:
AC has always had great outfits. You can wear Anubis outfits for example.
YO
How much of a missed opportunity would that have been if they didn't?
Good shit, Ubi.

God's had his chance.

Still best is Ezio and his Master Assassin outfit from brotherhood. That Brutus Fur coat is fucking baller no matter what timeline you stuck in...
But if i can throw on an onyx Anubis mask or a jade and gold Ra gig and then combine that ish with a piece of Eden that makes you do some godlike movement stuff... yup i might just play around in this game longer than i did Black Flag.
Thats a high water mark though... we shall see.
Yeah. It's why 2 and BF are the best. Way more variety in exploration. I really dislike the single large city design of Unity and Syndicate.

yeah that is super weird, looks like a giant fps drop
If they had an option to take off the mask, the Turkish Armor would be my favorite.

It's almost like the splash animation is rendering at a different FPS than the rest of the game.
It's very jarring for me.
Yeah this bothers me a bit too. Not sure why they made the choice to have night time be so bright but it seems theyre sticking to it unfortunately

The new combat system is dreadful. My goodness. 
This new try hard mix of Witcher 3 and Dark Souls does not fit AC.

At first glance I thought this because the dodges looked weird. After seeing more gameplay, it looks pretty good.The new combat system is dreadful. My goodness.

I wonder if itll look better with hdr.
Also, to think this game will probably have chocobos and ff costumes lmao. Cant wait.
AC has always had great outfits. You can wear Anubis outfits for example.
Do we have confirmation we can wear this?
The trailers implied this is something higher ups from the bad guy teams wear.
It would however be my permanent outfit unless theres a pharoah costume too.

The combat looks janky as fuck. A step backwards IMO. The hit point system looks silly.
Seeing a spear impale someone only to loose "half of their life bar" doesn't fit this series.

Remains to be seen.
They've stated many times that it's a good place to jump in.
To be fair I've only played Black Flag and Syndicate and at almost no point did I feel I was confused because I didn't play other games.
Oh, good. I've played a couple of hours of Black Flag and... Brotherhood, I think? And that's it. And I barely remember anything about them.
