Assassin's Creed Odyssey has fully customizable HUD
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
It's crazy how I really didn't click with Origins after about 10 hours with it, but simple changes like: stealth kills returning (with adrenaline), HUD options, naval combat, more vibrant locations, etc. have me really excited for Odyssey.
I feel like the inevitable claims of 'more of the same' with Origins may be selling this game short.

Hell yes, ugly UI elements have been a disgrace to the last couple of games with such beautiful worlds.
Day one buy getting more and more likely...
Still, the previewers said it added a lot in terms of side content. Hopefully it works out.
My hype for exploration mode was deflated a little when I found out that once you're roughly near the objective you still just use your bird to pinpoint it immediately.

Damn all the features they've been announcing have been actually kind of selling me on this game. Even though I was a little apprehensive at first because this game didn't feel assassin's Creed enough , now I'm hyped for a different experience
This game looks really interesting to me, I have intentions on buying it. Question though: should I play AC: Origins beforehand? On the flipside, that game does not look all that interesting to me and I prefer the more exotic locales of Greece than the endless stretches of land (and sand) of Egypt. Is it really worth going out of your way to play or could I just jump in on Odyssey?
All good and well.. can't hate being given the option. So props for that.
But would like developers to develop their game, without a clustered hud from the start. I hate massive numbers flying, healthbars everywhere, glowing characters, button prompts all the time etc..
Yep this. And also even with hud, it never was too much.

Had absolutely no idea that this was set before. I thought the original plan was a trilogy with Egypt/Greece/Rome and assumed that it would be chronologically. Thanks for the heads up. I'll just go ahead and skip Origins for Odyssey then.
This kind of level of HUD customization should be a standard for video-game.
No, some had good HUD customization, but some didn't. It was a wierd inconsistancy in the IP.
You couldn't turn off individual elements in Origins. Elements were grouped and you could only switch between these groups.
Yeah it's centuries before I believe.
The only caveat is that the present day real-world content follows the same character as in Origins - not sure if it's a follow-on story though. But then again it's the present day content, so who cares. You may feel differently about that stuff though.
Pre-ordered. Thanks for the heads up!
HUDless FTW indeed! There's an Exploration Mode without targets and quest markers so it should be playable even without a HUD. Fingers crossed.
It did require a code you "buy" with Ubisoft Points, so it may not have applied automatically. It cost £64 for me. £10 more than I got the Origins Gold Edition for last year (same offer) but I guess AC:3 and AC3: Liberation Remastered make up for that extra spend. Really annoying that the Deluxe Edition stuff isn't included, though.
Between this and the exploration mode, the game seems pretty interesting. The HUD customization options in Origins were pretty poor.
As other posters have mentioned, this combined with Exploration mode makes the game look really appealing. Some of my favourite games focus on full immersion and navigating the world on your own, stumbles and frustration and all.
That and RPG dialogue options and a committent to narrative and this is the first AC game that's interested me in a long time. If they can just deliver on the story this is a sure buy for me.
Take notice, developers! Options, especially for console games which you can't mod, sell games to... Incredibly niche hardcore audiences? Oh well, at least they create good publicity - such as this thread.

I think my 'AC has an immersion problem' thread was noted.
Thank you Ubisoft, this is superb and will make me buy the game day 1 and enjoy it so much more!!

or, you know, a better open world game.
I'm so hyped for this though!
Some might say BoTW is way better than HZD, others that Witcher 3 , or even AC Origins. I would agree with em
I kind of want all the data on my screen, but I'm glad this is here for people who find it a better experience.
It was weird that Unity was the only AC game to have that feature (99% sure it never made it to Syndicate but I could be wrong).
This is good to hear, the AC games have always had options to disable each individual element of the HUD but for some reason Origins was limited to 4 (bad) presets and as far as I'm aware it's never been adjusted in a patch.
Yup this. Previous AC games you could turn off the HUD but the games not built around it so you ending up having to turn it back on. An in game toggle standard for this series would do wonders.
