Assassin's Creed: Origins

It's in an ancient Egypt setting. About time. That has potential to be pretty cool. I'm assuming the protagonist is about to go pyramid raiding there.

Apparently this one is now called 'Assassin's Creed: Origins'

The story is rumoured to revolve around the original assassin’s guild and will feature two main characters - a man and a woman.

Its structure is said to be less linear, featuring a character progression system less tied to the story. A development source we spoke to compared it numerous times to Bethesda’s Skyrim. They say that impressions of the project internally are so far positive.

The game will apparently grant the player considerably more freedom, featuring a greater emphasis on exploration over previous entries in the series. One source tells us that this is the biggest Assassin’s Creed the company has ever created and is “huge” in scope. They say that it has been in development for “at least” several years now. Hopefully, it will benefit from this extended development cycle.

Not only is Origins rumoured to boast an explorable ancient Egypt, players will also apparently be able to go beyond it - possibly even as far as Greece. We were told that boats will return in the game, allowing the player to sail the Mediterranean. Naval combat, naturally, is also said to be included.

Looks promising if the proposed changes are true.

I'm hoping this will be awesomely great

Might want to also merge the other thread with this one too.

I do like the idea of a new game, but it feels like it's still plagued by a lot of the old issues, like the awkward climbing controls. Going in a window should not be that hard.

Agreed on windows though. Most of the time, I just avoided them. It didn't look too bad in this vid though

I've been playing a lot of Syndicate lately, and tbh, as much as I like the idea of "one button for up, one for down", things like stepping down off of a three foot ledge are needlessly complicated.

Then there are things like not letting my use my pistol whenever I want.

I do hope Origins is better, but I am wary.

I just wanna kill people in the game

Loot boxes confirmed in the game

http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2017/10/06/assassins-creed-origins-loot-boxes-revealed-in-video/

In the preview builds, players can only purchase these chests with in-game currency.

in game cash is alright is ok i guess, If it was the other way around using real cash then it would be bad.

This game is exactly the kind of evolution the series needed. The setting and side quests are phenomenal so far. I also like the new fighting system and the reworked stealth mechanics.

My favorite part so far though is the main character. Bayek is great. He's charismatic and likeable while also being pretty damn intimidating when he's mad (the opening cutscene for example was some wrathful shit). This is definitely the best entry since Black Flag, and it's by the same team. Looks like Black Flag wasn't an accident. These guys actually know what they're doing. I hope Ubi lets them helm all future AC games. Two great AC games in a row from them may have made me a loyal customer for future entries made by them.

Picked it up yesterday too, Went with the God's Edition

i like how it has also more RPG style elements to the game, Even as far as getting loot and selling it at the shops to make cash.

I'm not sold on the combat yet but the stealth is pretty damn good.

And the graphics....jesus, the ****ing graphics are incredible. I'm playing on a Xbox One X with a new 4k HDR TV and damn.....best looking game so far....it's incredible.

Takes a while to get use to the new style of combat, Like any other game i suppose.
