At first I was a bit skeptical about the whole Creation Club announcement but when I read through their official website, it seems like this is a way for them to try and improve mods and make them better.

They will have quality control, collaboration between the game devs and the mod authors and a bunch of other procedures and guidelines.

I can't wait for the exciting new mods that will come out from this system. Its gonna bring polish and better integration for mods as a whole.

I am really excited.

>>380011679
Yeah, it's the start of (another) new story arch.

But you should at least play Brotherhood at some point. Here are the story arches in the series

>AC1, II, Brotherhood, Revalations, 3
>Black Flag and Rogue
>Unity and Syndicate are kind of both their own side things that can totally be skipped (just from a story perspective)
>and now Origins

>>380011506
What makes you think that? The whole appeal of the franchise has been historical setpieces.

>>380011679
The sequels to AC2 are worthwhile if you liked Ezio. Skip AC3. Play Black Flag for comfiness. Unity and Syndicate can be skipped unless you really like French Revolution or Victorian London.

>>380011506
That plotline was done after the 3rd game, gramps. Ever since then they've gone way astray, with this one being the most Sword & Sorcery based what with the Conan-esque giant snakes and shit.

absolutely not, Ubisoft said a long time ago that AC games will always be about exploring genetic memories, and that they'll avoid the 20th century because they don't want it to be a shooter

>bce

cringe af....

Is anyone confused by the narration in the trailer? It keeps talking about we are the first and juxtaposing it with Egyptian images, suggesting the narrator is an Egyptian native. Then it talks about an empire, which the Egyptians were quite bad at maintain and building - they got conquered like every other week. However, this is all taking place in Ptolemaic Egypt, so far, far, far from the first, and under Greek rule. Then they talk about assassin's and juxtapose that with killing roman soldiers and the Colosseum, despite it being again Ptolemaic Egypt. Also, assassin naming came from the era of the first AC game not Egypt. More over the narrator says we at the start suggesting he's Egyptian native, but then talks about the dangers of assassins suggesting he's the roman invaders, despite this again being Ptolemaic Egypt. On the side the protag is Bayek historically doesn't make sense as he can't be medjay, because they disappeared literally hundreds of years prior. It makes no sense. Logically, historically I am confused. Also, the pyramids were already ancient by then, but they're still shiny.

Stealth looks like MGSV shit

>>380012181

that didn't come into effect at all until literally the very end of the game, are you talking about ACII? Because that's the whole point of ACII

Anon... And if you're talking about gameplay, its been generic since the 2nd game.

The wishful person inside me hopes that he's talking about the first people who the ancient egyptians (as we know in modern history) inherited their empire from, as we now kinda know that there was another empire that predates ancient egyptians who invented most of the designs that the egyptians used.

But that's probably too much historical accuracy for Ubisoft.

I know I'm the minority, but I really like what I've seen.
All I wanted was AC in Egypt and thats exactly whats happening. That its made by the IV team is a big bonus, but we'll see how that turns out in the end.

Otherwise I'm already set with another generic AC game in Egypt. These games are 80% setting anyway.

>>380012616
> and show the present more and wtf the templars or w/e are up to in modern day
Have you played any of the recent games? We know exactly what's going on. I can't be asked to recap it all for you, but you can read the wiki or some shit.

Combat looks quite improved - or at least, changed. It seems to me they went for a more traditional hack-and-slash way, it actually feels a bit "Witcher-ish" (oh the irony of people claiming that Witcher has Asscreed combat...) which should at least be a little improvement over the "wait-for-reposte-kill" of the previous series.
Architecture is pretty.
Everything else looks... awful. The U.I., the stealth, the gimmicks, the level design, none of that looks very good. Also, I think they really missed a god damn opportunity with the settings on many, many levels.
This does not look like the title to reinvent AssCreed again at all.

The combat anims look absolutely dreadful, however. It's really jarring as these games have otherwise impressive and fluid movement animations, and then the combat now looks like it's taken straight out of Gothic / Risen. They really need to polish it up and bring it up to par to what it used to be with the older crappier combat system.

>>380012872

All jokes aside, it looks ok. Not great, but ok. The Black Adam stage in Injustice 2 looks more majestic than the Egypt they're showing here, though.

>that clunky combat
>that fucking homing missile
Holy fucking shit. It's awful.

I'm convinced they decided on the Black protagonist afterward, when they realized how fucking awful the game is. So they could say;
>YOU'RE JUST RAYCIS IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT

>>380012793
Up until Black Flag/Rogue, the games are Forrest Gump-style. You meet famous historical people, take your place in historical events etc., while searching for ayy lmao artifacts. Whatever isn't directly related to the protagonist's actions, is pretty much accurate.

From Unity onward they stopped caring at all. Robespierre got turned into a complete dickwad, while Victorian England turned into an equal-opportunity modern California with a steampunk skin thrown on. I have no problem with tranny characters in media. But a tranny character in a 19th century London setting would be ridiculed by the other characters, not respected.

He also controls an eagle that can hover mid-air and fights a giant dragon. I think we are far past any kind of even remote real-world-sensibilities in this series, honestly.
What more worries me is that it looks like a boring mechanic. It wasn't amazing when Max Payne did, it was boring as fuck when Bulletstorm did it, and here it feels just laughable.

>>380013120
>The combat anims look absolutely dreadful, however.
You are right that the animations look clunky as fuck. But if that means better gameplay, then I'm still actually fine with that.
What the fuck am I saying, it's not like I'm going to play it. I had not played AssCreed game in almost a decade...
The problem is that I don't think they CAN polish it to be on par with the animation fluency of the previous games, simply because it offers more actual freedom of control and movement. I think it's an if/or situation here. Either you have smaller agency and control, in which case you can use perfectly motion-captured pre-baked animations which look very natural, or you have a more dynamic system that allows for greater player agency, but has to rely on less fluent and natural animations.
It clashes with the rest of the animation style for the game, true. But really, in this case if it improves the actual combat, I think this should be acceptable.
It's still a major IF though.

I wouldn't say that rendering memories in a fancy computer is time travel

>>380013985
The Assassins have been around technically since Adam and Eve, but they didn't call themselves Assassins and didn't really organize I suppose until this game. As for the guy who killed Xerxes, that was just before the Brotherhood organized into an Order.

Suprisingly enough, those are still a lot more easy to swallow than the idea that a normal, ordinary eagle does not have to follow basic laws of physics. There is suspension of disbelief, and then there is just plain old stupidity (even if excused by mechanical necessity).
The series is gradually pushing the silliness level forward and forward.

That said, it's the least of the series problems.

>>380014053
I thought the fucking point of the hiatus was to reinvent the series. And this seems like the only thing they reinvented was the combat, by going in another very generic direction, just a literal "Lets make it more like Souls thing" while everything else feels exactly the same as the previous series, just a bit more clueless.

I think this is what happens when you are reinventing a series because the public demanded, but you have NO actual ideas yourself.

Hidden blade assassinations may not be instant kills if the player does not upgrade the weapon accordingly. It'll just deal damage and initiate combat.

Otherwise, you do stealth damage and enter combat.”

Also anon I can tell you're fucking around but come on, no one knows anything yet, that was the -first- game play trailer

Also I would sure love a guided arrow much better than chasing down someone who can run faster than the protag.

What do you expect for a franchise about historical set pieces? To only be set in white europe?

>>380014931
I think you should be looking at the generation and model of i5 rather than just the sheer clock speed. The medium requirements on the site you posted has an i5 with lower speeds but it's a newer model.

Stealth is actually fucking autism. The guard didn't notice player in plain fucking sight, Combat is Dark Souls/10. Feature with eagle sounds cool, anyway.

the last AC I enjoyed a lot was the pirate one, cause at least it had some variety. and a world to explore and sailing was sorta fun

Egypt was heavily influenced by Greece at that point, 300 years after Alexander conquered them

Ubisoft are acting like it's 1500 BC though

>>380014328

I mean...the game world needs more depth: climbing and rooftop running is fun, but there should be different ways/methods to kill your target, and different ways to accomplish your goals

more than the usual "hang 30 feet back and dont get spotted" stuff. what if you found info on a target from an individual, and you could kill them at any time?

usually in AC when you lose your target you fail the mission.

>Except the Medjay had been gone for a thousand years by the timeframe of the game.
And Syndicate has medieval Ismaely order of Hassassines rule gangs of London and chat with Marx, so I don't see that as particular problem.

>>380018006
Provided he uses the Animus, sure. Not sure Bill would need or want it though, after Desmond kicked the bucket. Seems to have sent Bill into a several game long depression

Meiji restoration and Boshin War would be neat. Start before Commodore Perry shows up and go through that period.

Sic Semper Tyrannis - Assassinate the leader of the Templars Julius Caeser

Now find the article about video games in historical Japan using a high production value open world.

>>380018106
Yes, you read that right. There was no mass migration, no mass movement in Egypt since that time. Should be the same people

>>380018138
And the vast majority of those are fantasy games with zero authenticity.

AC takes liberties and has the whole secret hsitory and Precursors, but overall they do their research.

99% of Sengoku games have Nobunaga as a demon overlord.

They need to vet Jasper Kyd back.

>>380018117
So what? Desmond is just as much a part of his father as he is his mother. If the animus works the way it's supposed to anyway, we would be able to relive parts of his father's life as well right?

If his father is an assassin his bloodline should go back somewhere significant right?

Also what's the story with his mother anyway? Is she dead?

>>380018467
Entirely possible, geographically, but there's still a thousand years between them. They'd have to have some major foreshadowing in Origins to make the point in that case

>>380018507
No, they wasted him on AC, practically tried to hide his music's presence in the game.

>>380018520
I'm sure there is plenty significant in Desmond's father, and from an in-world logic you make perfect sense, but I wouldn't want to play as him. He isn't very interesting.

>>380015962

The great pyramids where 2500 years old by then.

>>380018453
Thousand, really. We have no reports on Medjey past the 20th dynasty. Which is around 1200 to 1100 B.C.
This game apparently takes place around 40 B.C.

That makes it almost exactly thousand years since the last written record of the presence of Medjay in existence.

The protagonist isn't black, he's fairly accurate to the native Egyptians of the time.

This topic is genuinely one of my triggers so don't fucking spread misinformation.

>move to nextgen to remake UC from ground up
>it's the same shit, sales plummet

You fucked up Ubi

Imagine the butthurt would've had if they made ass creed in japan with european main character.

>>380014662
don't forget it's an eagle that comes from nowhere and can stop mid-air and just hover like a hummingbird

>>380018804
Sure, that would be dope as fuck, I wasn't considering that at all.

Too bad Ubisoft would never do it

>>380017480
Anybody got the source?

>>380018868
First of all, that is a pretty bold claim because we don't really KNOW what native Egyptians looked at the time, but from the little we do know he does look NOTHING like them.
He looks black as fuck. And that is because he IS black as fuck. Which is because he is supposed to be a member of a famous BLACK, NUBIAN guard that was famously employed by Egyptian pharaohs as a foreign special guard and gained a lot of notoriety and attention in popular media.

>>380018451
If anything Brutus is a templar and so is Cleopatra and Antony.

He's/they were not sub-saharan black is my point, which is one of the biggest "debates" going around. He's typical of people from Upper Egypt. It wasn't a homogeneous society.

Imagine being the art team at Ubi. They make those great worlds and then gameplay shitlords come and take a dump in those worlds and ship a shitpile of a game

Thanks anons.

>>380011506
I recall it was supposed to lead to present day AC, but that was scrapped once they booted the main director and Desmond got rekt.

>>380009808
As a fucking Egyptian historian this pisses me off. Why do the Pyramids still have their gold caps? Why aren't the statues painted? Why are they talking about an empire in the trailer? The Roman empire? That doesn't come along for QUITE a while. What the hell is this?

As a gamer, I'm just disappointed that the game looks almost identical to ACIII, just with desert instead of snow.

>>380011506
A present day AC game would be trash, the only people who clamor for one are twelve year olds and autistic people.

Egypt can fuck off>>380009808
>what do you think of the gameplay changes?
the what now? they changed the combat a bit, picked a different setting, but the core is still the same shit.
Even a cooler setting like the romance of the three kingdoms with huge armies clashing or a WW2 setting in an occupied country wont save this
