Literally give us all the witchy female energy.Finally, they're doing it: sole female protagonist!
Can't wait for this game. Someone decribed earlier that it will have a strong female energy and playing a witch during the witch hunts will be so cool!
But we got witchcraft and possession!They are absolutely gonna cook with the aesthetic of this game. And pretty sure we're playing as an Isu if the MC straight up has powers.
Very very different environment/society than what we would've gotten in Amsterdam.
Guns were a really big aspect of Syndicate and the RPG games treat arrow types like firearms.
In Odyssey we straight up play as a demigod with a POE that gives her superhuman abilities.

Will it be a big budget mainline title, or smaller like AC Mirage?
That's wild, I have been missing out on everything going on in AC lol
I'll accept that I'm the odd one out here, but that sounds awful to me tbh. I think the thing I'm really lost on at this point is why is it an AC game? There was no reason for this or Valhalla to be an AC game and the fact they're going ahead with this silly infinity thing just confirms to me that they're gonna keep working even harder to drive the IP into the ground

I have zero interest in their sales, as a consumer the only metric that I care about is whether they're appealing to me and the IP has become a complete mess at this point as far as I'm concerned. This idea of chasing a Fortnite style platform for AC is actively pushing me away from the franchise and it feels like we're getting a lot of AC games that don't need to have AC in the title. Essentially I feel Ubisoft are using the name as a selling point more than anything it just pushes me away from the games instead.Drive it into the grown ?, when the last iterations of the franchise have had record sales ?
I've no doubt. I also think it was the worst AC game by a massive margin as I associate the games quite a lot with verticality which was extremely lacking due to the setting. I'm not really talking about sales, more how I feel about where the IP is headed. I haven't even got around to Mirage despite it being closer to the older games because I'm just kinda left wondering how much it's gonna make sense to me to jump in for one game here and thereValhalla was the most successful AC ever and one of the most successful Ubisoft games in their history. Mainline titles are doing pretty well.
So good 😌
Totally! If they lean into more of the dark side of magic or maybe you can even choose to go dark or light? The setting is also rather rare and really inspired in my opinion.So good 😌
I really want to see how they blend the themes for the character design and outfits, and also what style of magic they'll go for.
All of which can be explained in the usual ways that AC explains magic.
Before Dragon's Dogma 2 graced us with a sphinx we had AC.That's wild, I have been missing out on everything going on in AC lol

Imagine cauldrons and brewing potions and how they might look in the various flasks or bottles. What about familiars or cats!! Ahh!!Totally!

Let's pray to Hecate they pull this off!
Oh, an animal companion you seek out in a cool questline would be so cool! Potion brewing in your little witch hut in some German swamp. Gimme gimme!Imagine cauldrons and brewing potions and how they might look in the various flasks or bottles. What about familiars or cats!! Ahh!!
Did you jump into the Hades lore here? :D <3Omg what if there's a quest like searching for and guiding Persephone from the underworld?!
It's about as grounded as classic AC was minus one ability in particular that's incredibly fun to use.I just miss the grounded games. Gonna start Mirage soon. Hope it's grounded
This actually feels like an evolution like the Ancient trilogy was at least
Yes!! Urgh my god they could do *wonders* with the lighting in this game. From the witch hunts and fires in swamps through to the potion brewing, spell casting and summons.Oh, an animal companion you seek out in a cool questline would be so cool!

First time since The Witcher 3 we could get a really pretty swampy area, I think? Really excited about all this. I'm not a big AC fan, but I will be there day 1 if they deliver!Yes!!

I'm abig fan of Greek mythology. Two of my most anticipated games right now are Hades 2 (this time with a femalce mc too! although I loved Zagreus) and Age of Mythology: Retold. We are eating good right now, with female mc's too! Star Wars Outlaws, Hades 2, AC Red & Hexe. It's improving and makes me happy!Haha I just had to make sure I was remembering correctly before I made an ass out of myself 😂 Greek mythology is just so cool and ripe for use in games, Hades was a joy and while I haven't been lucky enough to play it yet, Hades II looks even better because, well, witchy stuff. Honestly between Hades II and this I hope we see witches have a bit of a moment in games.
More linear in the sense that it is like AC2 instead of the recent trilogy, but they are still set in open world areas."some open world?"
Literally every mainline Assassins' creed has been open world. Even the vita game was open world.
Yes, all AC games are live services.I'm confused is this part of that live service Assassin's Creed game? Is that still happening?
No I was talking about my opinion on the series and why it feels like it's pushing me away and I don't really get what sales figures have to do with that. Apparently discussion isn't your wheelhouse though, unless sales figures are the be all and end all of opinions
Can you elaborate on that? The trailer was not more than a logo iirc? Where did they tease him?Mephisto or Mephistophelest (The one from german folklore not the marvel character) was teased in the reveal trailer
Valhalla's the end of a trilogy, most consumers were locked in and fully aware of who Layla is by that point. And yes they do explain a LOT of modern day related things in Valhalla.They probably should just go full Final Fantasy at this point and do whatever they want with the lore of each installment. I'm playing Valhalla now and they don't even bother to explain the tacked on Abstergo/Animus/Isu stuff. If you haven't played any of the previous installments, you're probably going "wtf?" whenever Layla Hassan shows up.
Because sales and revenue being at an all time high, means significantly more people enjoy the series as it is now instead of what you want it to be?No I was talking about my opinion on the series and why it feels like it's pushing me away and I don't really get what sales figures have to do with that.

Now I'm genuinely curious though. This is a forum primarily for discussing games. What's the problem with having an opinion that doesn't align with sales?
Instead of pretending that what they are doing is not being overwhelmingly positively received, you can just say you do not like it.just confirms to me that they're gonna keep working even harder to drive the IP into the ground

I don't think the point is that. They will surely go for an angle where they were still innocently hunted, but like this you can fight back with style. Being a witch is also a rather unique gameplay aspect in gaming, we don't have that often.i always love when stories go "witch hunts were obviously terrible and oppressive but those ladies absolutely did have magical powers, they were right about that"
But Patrice had similar idea before for canceled Amsterdam 1666 project

Yeah its a bit weird that the protagonist actually has powersi always love when stories go "witch hunts were obviously terrible and oppressive but those ladies absolutely did have magical powers, they were right about that"
