Anyone see the Assasins Creed leak from GI? Sounds really good on paper. First time I've been interest in AC in a looong time.
I loved both Unity and Syndicate, so I've been having withdrawals from AssCreed. The setting with this one has me super excited.
Seems kind of bonkers to think that this has been a work in progress since before Unity was even finished.
I hope they bring boats back in some way. Heck, I'd love a direct Black Flag sequel/parallel story.
Yeah, it looks/sounds insane according to the magazine scans. Right now, it's my most anticipated game this year.
AC Origins info from GI
All new info: • Started working on game before unity • Brand new fighting system • New A.I. • No minimap but a elder scrolls type compass at top • No more sprinting button, speed depends on analog stick • Crouching is back • Story is being kept a secret • Eagle vision is a subtle pulse that highlights objects not enemies • Takes place during the ascent and reign of cleopatra • You can climb everything in the game • Large and small cities with many landmarks including Memphis and Alexandria • The controllable eagle leak was true • NPC's have a day/night cycle and includes time for them to eat, sleep, work, and "answer the call of nature" • Attack buttons are the right shoulder and trigger • A.I. does not take turns to attack • New combat system is more hit-box driven • As you fight, an adrenaline gauge fills up, and when both attack buttons are pressed powerful attacks are unleashed • Left shoulder button is lock on • There are treasures to find in the depths of the water (sunken ships, long-forgotten ruins) • Stat element of customization is removed • New gear system where players can improve specific parts of your gear by crafting materials • Leveling system that has a level cap of 40 • Bayek is not the only playable character in the game but that character is a secret • There are legendary items to loot in the game • You can add blocked arrows to your inventory • You can no longer one hit enemies that are more powerful than you with your hidden blade • Buttons for free-running up and down are removed • Puzzles are back but more challenging and less switches • Much more in depth ability graph with 3 paths (Seer, Warrior, Hunter) • There are gladiator battles in arenas

Ah, good. I was hoping the new Bioware project would get a reveal. Hopefully it's not a lot of footage of guys working on computers, talking about how excited they are to be working on the project.
Ok, a few more things for the MS conference:
-Expect an Elite 2 announcement....with Bluetooth.
$149
-Ori 2
-Oversampling and 4K upsampling demo for Scorpio
-Looks like Sea of Thieves will be next year release.
-I'm doubling down on Scalebound being picked up by another studio...but I don't think it will be shown this year

Battlefront 2 looks awesome, can't wait to play it! I applaud them for trying something different with a split screen only game even though it doesn't appeal to me, I also applaud them adding more to their sports titles with those story modes. I thought NFS looked like it could be fun but the voice acting was awful and it got on my nerves in the short time they showed it. They really need to work on cutting down the talking time, the only person on stage worth a damn was the actress from Battlefront 2.
After the mess that is/was ME:A they better not be showing something before it's ready again lol. Sadly the game got quite a bit of a visual downgrade between when it was first shown and it's actual release.
If that ME article is accurate, Frostbite does best with shooter games..... fast paced, simple controls, as little inventory, complexity, NPCs and animations and dialogue trees. Just focus attention on simple gameplay, and combine it with scope of maps.
And that goes against what EA/DICE and all those Swedish blowhards were promoting when Frostbite first turned up last gen.
At that time, it was all about complex physics, big scope of destruction, and whatever you threw at it it could handle.
Not surprisingly, promotional BS. Frostbite isn't as good as it seems, and not suited for all games.
