bellow Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 That's basically the standard of gameplay I've come to expect from the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Ok, that video tells us absolutely fuck all. Other than “Hey, here’s a video of some guy pissing about on his laptop”. Useless ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-04-30-assassins-creed-valhalla-reshapes-the-series-rpg-storytelling-by-giving-you-a-viking-settlement So forgive my cynicism but will this be the AC to just drop the whole 'defog the map and clean up map icons' style of gameplay loop? What they lay out here sounds kind of interesting, but I thought that too of the last two which on closer inspection seemed to have that same MMO style of design with lots of missions (and even rare loot drops). Like I don't really consider that an 'RPG', but what they explain about the settlement stuff here sounds kind of good. Part of the reason I don't have much patience for Ubi style games is I already play a massive MMO, so a diluted version of that without MP and raids never appeals to me.

AndyKurosaki Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Odyssey was the first AC game I committed to in ages, as I was burned out with the franchise. And I bloody loved Odyssey. Easily sank 70+ hours into it. So I’m definitely up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 They can announce a gold edition steel book but they can’t show gameplay. I wonder if it’s gotten for honor mechanics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I get that the vikings are a more interesting concept to play as, but pitching Britain as the bad guys for not wanting to be murdered and raped seems a little unfair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Was wondering that too. I hope the game itself shows a bit more, well, nuance. That said it's a cool setting and I hope the female protagonist is a redhead so I can convince myself I'm playing Cerys from The Witcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Gameplay being shown May 7th at the Inside Xbox Games Showcase @mmmark. 57 minutes ago, DANGERMAN said: I get that the vikings are a more interesting concept to play as, but pitching Britain as the bad guys for not wanting to be murdered and raped seems a little unfair Yeah it is a little odd. Brits have now been the bad guys in 2 AC games, I think they don’t like us ? 1 hour ago, AndyKurosaki said: Odyssey was the first AC game I committed to in ages, as I was burned out with the franchise.

Yeah, Origins and Odyssey were a fresh of breath air for the franchise, ‘twas definitely needed after Syndicate. Also, this game is being directed by the ‘A Team’ at Ubisoft Montreal. Directed by Ashraf Ismail, the director of AC4: Black Flag and AC: Origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I mean they are probably all bullshots but it will still look amazing anyway. Is it fully next gen (not cross gen)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
