Just not excited for mainline AC anymore, really miss the old formula; I understand why they'd move away from it but I feel like both can exist at the same time.

Either way, let's see what's presented (tomorrow?)

I will admit that Unity and Syndicate were fun games, but didn't leave as much of an impact on me as much as I wanted them too. However, once Origins and then Odyssey came around, I became enthralled by the series again. I understand the RPG mechanics aren't for everyone, but I personally really like them and want Ubisoft to dig deeper into them.

I'm not sure if I like it as much in some of their other games like Far Cry, but that's another debate for another day.

If you've been spoiled, don't worry.

People that have been spoiled do not have their enjoyment of a piece of media significantly affected, and can actually enjoy them more.

It's not really about the plot points themselves, but the context, the storytelling, and the journey of reaching significant plot points.

This is why I can watch musicals that I know inside out and still bawl at their emotional climaxes. It's why people still watch Romeo & Juliet after 400 years. It's why you can watch murder mysteries multiple times, knowing who the killer is, because you can enjoy how the story was told and the clues and details that led up to them.

Are we still using this single study to make declarative statements like that?

Posted this the last time the topic came up

Yeah no. It's the same study every single time and the way they researched was "we had two groups, one read a short story, one we told them the story beats before they read and they enjoyed it more."

There's no point of comparison between a short story you knew nothing about 10 minutes before and something you've been expecting for years, or the next installment of a movie/game series you like, or the ending of something you've been looking forward to for a long, long time.

Actually, it wasn't even that. One group read a short story, another read a version of the story that was edited to include a paragraph that mentioned plot points

That scenario isn't remotely similar to having a movie/book/game spoiled. For that other group, that wasn't a short story being spoiled; they're going into the story blind and to them, that's just how the story is written. An actual example would be how the movie Fallen starts with "I want to tell you about the time I almost died".

Another version had the experimenter give an introduction with a synopsis that summarizes the plot. Which again, for a group going in blind, that's just the nature of the plot. They have no expectations

In that version of the study, the experimenter would ask the subject mid-reading to rate how they were enjoying the story. To conclude that the spoiler group enjoyed it more because it was spoiled is a questionable correlation to make

The researchers made an argument using The Usual Suspects that how if you know the ending of a film beforehand, you can appreciate the storytelling and filmmaking more. Like...of course, obviously, that's part of the enjoyment of rewatches and revisits for myriad films, as opposed to the initial viewing

Quarantine has got me full blown into Odyssey, hyped for this! I definitely get the perspective of folks that loved the old school AC games, but I really enjoy what they've done in Origins and built on in odyssey. I hope they take it further. Normally I'd agree that it should be smaller, but having all this time at home really makes me appreciate the content in odyssey finally lol

Oh wow, I think I missed this thread the first time it came around. I didn't realize we were likely getting a Norse mythology AC, that sounds GREAT.

It's the Twitch channel of the most important videogame portal in Italy. Tomorrow a new game will be announced here, it has been hinted as the new AC.
Pretty confirmed.

I posted it only beacuse you asked for a link. But it's useless, tomorrow there will be coverages in the full internet.

Whenever I tried to play the video, nothing happened. I just wanted to see where they said the bomb will be dropped and hinted at a new AC.

It's just weird because nobody else is talking about it, and usually that happens when something isn't real.

Why would they randomly announce a new next-gen AC on some Italian gaming website? No way.

It's not going to be announced through them. They probably just know It's happening, saw the reveal and all, but they're under nda. So to hype people up (and make people come back to their website) they say that something's coming.

Some french media are reporting the same for tomorrow, it's not exclusive to that Italian website.

Exactly. It seems that embargo will end at 13.00 tomorrow (Italy) or some hours later.

Welp. Shinobi just confirmed AC Vikings for tomorrow. Well, he said yes to three things. Sony, AC Vikings and Xbox "shrugs"

I doubt we'll get gameplay until one of the major console reveal events. Probs a logo reveal, cgi trailer and maybe gameplay screenshots.
