Ubisoft has shown Assassin's Creed Origins for the first time during Microsoft's press conference. Here is the trailer, with the gameplay in a few hours hopefully.
The trailer itself is bad because it didn't show almost anything of the new, improved and changes from the core gameplay systems that the Game Informer coverage detailed.
For example, Assassin's Creed: Origins is an Action-RPG game now, instead of an Action-Adventure game. Or how you can't kill people instantly if you're even at a measly 3 levels lower than the target, like Bayek at level 20 trying to assassinate a level 23 enemy. Or how you can now climb everything, just like in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Anyway, not gonna write everything that was mentioned on Game Infomer. But this trailer didn't make the game look like it improved on almost everything upon previous games. Which is a bad trailer, considering how many things have changed.
PS. This seems to be becoming a trend with Ubisoft games. First Far Cry 5, and now Assassin's Creed: Origins. What you read elsewhere does a far, far better job of exciting you than watching the game's trailer itself. I used to almost always love Ubisoft's games' trailers, but these two are very dull ones, unfortunately.

Agreed that the trailer was quite bad. The leaks had more info on the game and the gameplay I watched on EasyAllies was more fun than this. Wish they'd release it soon. Don't like the 'track through walls' shtick but the combat could be more fun this time around. I have to say, I didn't enjoy Syndicate at all, the game was too easy.
Showing the more familiar gameplay after a year off even though they ve made some big changes was a dumb idea. They should first show us all those changes from the gi magazine leak
This honestly looked like shit. Same old same old and not even a graphical showcase. What the hell have they been doing since before unity (apparently when it started development)

At least for most gamers. Similar to when everything went to pci-e (5 Hours ago)

I think we could be seeing a dramatic shift in PC hardware where it'll be essential to own both an SSD and a next gen card with the api's to use them. That also would probably require new motherboards (5 Hours ago)
MrWhite
If a game is built from the ground up to take advantage of that, though... (6 Hours ago)
MrWhite
I think it'll be down to next gen engines making use of it where applicable. So, basically, if a game allows it, hardware permitting, it'll be used. (6 Hours ago)
MrWhite
@toelessfoot: Yeah, that's the thing, isn't it? PC's are a bit too much of an open platform hardware wise for it to be standard implementation. (6 Hours ago)
toelessfoot
@MrWhite: How long until we see that kind of thing in PCs do you think? I guess consoles are more future proof than a current PC in that regard. (6 Hours ago)
MrWhite
new api's that talk to gpu and ssd's are the exciting thing there. That'll be present in both console and PC, eventually. (7 Hours ago)
