Assassin's Creed Origins Director On Size Of The World

This game is actually revitalizing my interest in the series. I loved the first 2, but by Brotherhood, the formula got stale as hell for me. Now I'm finally playing Black Flag and really enjoying it, minus the dated combat and inability to crouch. The world is gorgeous and interesting. Might actually give Unity and Syndicate a go after Black Flag, despite the negatives on Unity (even though, most of these were technical I believe). Its amazing how much time can be a factor in grabbing your interest in a series again.

"So we filled these locations with quests,"

Pointless Ubisoft busywork confirmed.

Syndicate is great and it could have been amazing if they invested more time into some areas of the game. Origins looks AMAZING and has had more time in the oven. I am stoked.

It's really tough for me to invest any more money into AC given the royal $%^# ups of AC3 and Unity. Feels like they are just pumping money out of the fans for unfinished games. Story has to be dragging out

"I don't think of the size what matters, It's really the the experience that you have inside of it."

That's what she said.

Whats the point of a huge world if frigging everything is marked on the map,or can be marked on the map any way or another, exploration is pointless, even Horizon Zero dawn fails at this, there's no sense of discovery. Elder scrolls/fallout do this part right, it doesnt cluster the UI with markers and shit, these games let the player explore.

Landmarks should be marked AFTER u find them, not before... There will be no Ubi towers anymore, but the eagle will most likely ruin any kind of immersion/exploration there is. These developers DO NOT understand this.

I've tried to play ubisoft games but something about them just turns me off within the first hour or so, what is even the appeal with AC anymore or any ubisoft game for that matter

I still haven't finished the first game...

I'm hoping we see videogames get scaled back down to 8-12 hour experiences. While I enjoy playing a game in an open world it gets stale very fast, especially since developpers are aiming for bigger and bigger areas to roam around in. I might be in the minority wanting this, but, I have a family and a business to run and have no more than an hour to play on a daily basis, though, usually even then. These days I'm playing like 30 minutes a week. :(

I always thought Ancient Egypt would be a perfect setting for Assassins Creed, and was stoked by the news.

But I also thought that about Unity

Thus, for all of my hopes, I have a funny feeling Origins is going to suck, or be mediocre at best.

I have a discussion for us fellow gamers! How historically precise will origins be the antiquity era (ancient era) was started by writing and records from the Greeks and Romans maybe the Egyptians? It was like 2,500 bc to 500 ad/ ce (depending on religion) is this going to be based off history or just imagination?

"modern-day elements"

preorder cancelled

I've been a fan of a couple of AC games but like many have been let down as of late. But this one does excite me in the fact that they've added the Darksiders 2 type loot aspect, the Dark Souls type combat, and the freeform climbing aspect of Zelda. I think this one will be the best since AC2, not that I have my doubts but I do think this turns the series around in a positive light. Just my opinion obv

lets be honest here ubisoft developers have made claims during many press conference`s before there history speaks for itself sorry but i do not trust ubisoft anymore what they show to the video gaming press is not the final product by the time it hits retail there history of lying to customers really has broken my confidence in them as a consumer ill keep my eye on it after it is released to see if they can keep there word however i doubt it

Can you feel it.....?

It feel like last time this happened...

But what was it that happened to us last time hmm......

Oh yeah it feel like 2 seconds before Ubisoft fu*cked us last time...

Still hurts?

Maybe Desmond will be back in modern day!!!

Ensuring the tradition of running poorly because they decided to build a game larger than the consoles can hold.

If its big and boring, its a fail, if its big , boring, beautiful and authentic, its still a fail. If its big , fun , lots to do, story and characters great, mechanics fun, then it works, like Farcry 3 or GTA. I have to FORGET I'm playing a game in a large world, I have to genuinely feel like this universe could exist, to be ultimately invested in a LARGE map. Like Oblivion, or fallout 3. But as soon as i feel like im not connected to the world, then i normally get bored real quick, uninterested and sometimes, even stop playing and go play something else. I have yet to play Skyrim all the way through, but I finished The Witcher 1 and 2 and Mass Effect trilogy over and over. But its all subjective. I would rather have a group of small areas that are completely different to each other than 1 GIANT area, where everything feels the same, wherever I go.

It's not a bout the size, it's how you use it.
