Assassin's Creed Origins [PC] will get option to tweak 75 game parameters for custom experience

dex3108 · Apr 3, 2018

For the first time in an Assassin's Creed game, players will be able to tweak some game parameters to create their own game experience, thanks to the Animus Control Panel for PC.

The Animus Control Panel will be deployed on PC later this month. Ever fancied having three animal companions? The Animus Control Panel is your go-to.

75 parameters within 11 categories
Three pre-created presets available
Presets created by players can be shared on a dedicated forum
The Animus Control Panel is embedded in Uplay Library's page

Pretty cool touch. Does anyone have the full list?

Tagyhag · Apr 3, 2018

That's really cool, it's like an in-game cheat engine table.

Stuff like this is awesome because people can find a perfect setting if they find the game too easy or too hard in certain areas.

Mindlog · Apr 3, 2018

Reminder: You may adjust any parameter you wish by adjusting the parameter you wish to adjust in the adjustment menu.

GearDraxon · Apr 3, 2018

Awesome! Between this and the Discovery Tour, it's really cool to see Ubisoft letting people play around in the worlds they've (re)created. I got AC:O the other day, and spent a couple hours in the Tour, just reading and looking. Still haven't even loaded up the "real" game.

Is it possible to disable the little icon telling me I have upgrade points to spend?

KINGofCRA5H · Apr 3, 2018

interesting. i'm sure people will come up with some hilarious shenanigans

SunBroDave · Apr 3, 2018

That is super cool for everybody involved. Not only is it good for users, but I'm sure Ubi will be recording all that data to see what configurations are most popular, and that could influence future games in the series.

Hehe i don't think so, that is UI tweak and Ubi really dropped the ball with HUD customization in AC Origins :(

Why is that image so low res? I cant even read it

Bizzquik · Apr 3, 2018

Wow, Ubisoft's 180 in how they approach PC gaming has been really remarkable over the last three years.

We heard them talk forever about how much they valued PC gaming. Now they've been showing it! Lots of settings to adjust, good optimization for a variety of PC builds, ultrawide support, HDR support...and they just keep going. :-)

Ubi is saving bandwidth XD

Jangowuzhere · Apr 3, 2018

Cool

I think more games should have stuff like this. Players should be able to tweak the experience to how they want it, especially if they don't like the way the devs have the game set up.

Ridiculous, that icon bothered me to no end when I was playing the game.

Mecha Meister · Apr 3, 2018

This sounds cool to play around with, it sounds a little bit like GTA V's director mode but with mods.

Agreed.

ashtaar · Apr 3, 2018

This is pretty cool, you can adjust movement speed and NPC behavior

Rhaknar · Apr 3, 2018

that is super neat. Man that game is dope.

Bhonar · Apr 3, 2018

that's actually kick butt

Adryuu · Apr 3, 2018

That's pretty cool. Seeing the screenshot I don't know why it's pc only though but if I ever play this on pc I'll use it.

It is probably easier to change those things on PC than on consoles due to PC being more open platform.

Qassim · Apr 3, 2018

This is very cool.

Possibly that their game/engine requires this stuff to be configured before it's launched and can't be altered whilst the game is running. Consoles don't really offer much in terms of an interface to a games configuration when the game isn't running.

I'm sure it'd be possible with some work to make these changes with the game running - but it's probably work they can't justify - whereas on the PC they can provide these interfaces quite easily, they own the uplay client and have full access to the games files on a user's PC to be able to make these changes (or pass them as parameters to the executable, if this config isn't read from disk).

Edit: misread - this is done via the in-game uplay overlay? If so - disregard what I said ^

Grimminski · Apr 3, 2018

Assassination enabled at all times sounds hilarious.

"Oh you're a Phylake boss? That's cool.

Y Y Y Y Y Y

I win."

dabs furiously · Apr 3, 2018

Uh does this game still take like 90% of your gpu

Lukar · Apr 3, 2018

Gotta say, I really dig that they tied this thing into the Animus aspect lol.

Glad to see them finally paying real attention to their PC users.

Ideally it'd use even more.

Not to get into it, but games should be taking up as much GPU as possible unless it's severely unimpressive graphics wise.

Maybe you meant cpu...

Thecrunked · Apr 3, 2018

Now if only they could manage to add in a story to their games, we'd be all set

Tranqueris · Apr 3, 2018

Hopefully the Windows spring update will finally fix my HDR so I can get back to playing this game.

JustAnotherOne · Apr 3, 2018

That is...impressive.

I take it you didn't play the game being talked about on this thread. Also, nice contribution to the discussion.

It has a story, just not a good one.

sredgrin · Apr 3, 2018

That character selection slot presumably means we will get to play the entire game (or at least non story parts) as Aya. Sweet.

SliChillax · Apr 3, 2018

Jesus Ubi is killing it lately

Snake Eater · Apr 3, 2018

Why not have these options on console?

MMaRsu · Apr 3, 2018

Is one of these parameters PHENOM support for AMD Phenom users?

The only thing the game needs is patched support for SSE 4.1 and/or SSE 4.2 instruction sets. Every other game on the market runs on this cpu. Even FFXV got a patch after like a week or two to support PHENOM cpu's.

CHC · Apr 3, 2018

HOW

HOW can they add something this hilariously obscure and unexpected and still not have proper HUD options?! It's so weird.

KillLaCam · Apr 3, 2018

That's cool. I might replay it for this

Nintendo · Apr 3, 2018

Wow that sounds great! Basically cheat codes.

Korghano · Apr 3, 2018

Will there be an option for "stop murdering my CPU?"

Cus I'd like to play this game at a smooth 60, but no matter what settings I select, my Ryzen 3 1200 bottlenecks my 1080 aggressively.

Now seems like a great time to pick up a current Gen Ryzen 7, but I'm hesitant considering the second Gen CPU's are round the corner (though they don't seem to offer more than 5-10% in the way of improvement for gaming).

Does anyone know if the Ryzen 5/7 chips handle ACO alright?

Dmax3901 · Apr 3, 2018

Is it gonna let me get 100% completion on Uplay?

I reckon it needs to go through a lot of testing, as modifying a game can potentially break the system.

Heazy · Apr 3, 2018

So they've added they're own cheat engine that's cool. And looking at the screenshot (shift + F2) looks like you'll be able to change values on the fly.

Yeah I still don't get why they didn't improve HUD options post launch when that was one of the most requested things from community.

Decado · Apr 4, 2018

Will the PC version get HDR support?

texhnolyze · Apr 4, 2018

It seems that Ubisoft does love PC gaming.

Though it's kinda weird to offer such cheat tables on PC of all platforms.

Rivi · Apr 4, 2018

I see nothing regarding fixing the textures not loading in the game creating block people.

m_dorian · Apr 4, 2018

Great news from Ubisoft. Thanks!

The PC version already has HDR, the quality varies from super washed out to "this works perfectly fine" according to some of the opinions I've read though.
