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)

massive downgrades coming from the staples achieved w/ the Halo 3 sandbox/physics, with Dice/BField it should never be a trade-off, ony thing they should be trading its engine if it isnt up 3 the job (8 Weeks ago)

Halo keeps being this Sonic title bait & switch "will their next title be able to Look up par with its current gen counterparts"? Never. Even Halo 4 who was pretty good on Campaign suffered from (8 Weeks ago)

tech? I dunno, go get some insight of Activision (the good input, not the misogyny), all they COD devs make evident generation leaps tech-wise. Do they keep being the same core IP? I think so. (8 Weeks ago)
nostradamus
so Halo must be thet bottomb of the barrel FPS to keep its identity. Add some negligible subsurface scattering reflections or some other tech only possible now and call it the day copy/pasting the ol (8 Weeks ago)

yea but, would it be halo then? (8 Weeks ago)

engines. I mean, If you can have a PS3 Ratchet & Clanck that looks like a vaseline ps3 game, and a PS5 Ratchet&Clack that looks like a goddamn next-gen game, why can't Halo Evolve - Ugly FPS Seal™ (8 Weeks ago)
