That can't be the cinematic trailer. Gonna see the real one at Ubisoft I hope, always my highlight of E3.
Revelations still the GOAT with the woodkid song.

The combat looked interesting, very different, but a little janky. Have to see if that gets some polish. Great setting though

Was that Greek or Roman armor I saw?

This is just a screen capture of the stream with potato quality.

OMG A BLACK EGYPTIAN CHARACTER!! I'M BEYOND THRILLED.
Pretty underwhelming for me. It looked pretty choppy and some of the animation seemed unpolished (something Ubisoft usually is good at). I also don't see many new features that would warrant a brief hiatus of the series. Or maybe it's just my stream.
UAVeagle seems to be the biggest new thing, I guess.

Other than the RPG mechanics, this is the only new thing I notice from this game.

I haven't touched an AC since 3, but that trailer looked interesting. A nice twist on the series, although the idea of arena stuff isn't that appealing. I want stealth, not combat.
Oh. So much for that, then! AC stays declining.

Man combat looked weird. It was always overaccentuated but the movements were still somewhat believavle. The way Bayek pivoted just looked very gamey.

No way, it looked awesome. I'm in for the setting alone.

Was he really black? He looked more like what most egyptians look today

Didn't seem like anything spectacular but I love RPG elements so that's a plus.
I'm a bit disappointed by their rendition of Alexandria TBH.
I mean, unless it's some sort of optical illusion caused by a super wide FOV or sth, it looks like they've considerably shrunk the city down compared to how big it would've actually been back then.
This is an (as far as I'm aware) accurate "map" of the ancient city. Looks quite a bit bigger.

Easily disabled, I'm sure. AC 1-3 were always good about letting you turn off individual UI elements - I always appreciated that. One of the first games I did that in, 1 was.Rip AC
Actually not that bad. UAVeagle is... Different. But perhaps not essential, which could make the game more immersive/challenging. Still not sold on the self-commentating character though. Also not convinced by RPG elements, I don't think it has a place in AC.

Free form action combat! I'm so in.

Disappointed to be honest. Setting and everything looks great but it looks like it plays just like any other AC game other than the combat system, which was headed this way with Syndicate anyway. I expected more to be changed after the hiatus.

Its a game, they often compress things to make it more fun/gamey. Everything looks pretty good.
Still not sold on the name though. Assasins Creed 5: Initiation or The Assassin's Creed would have been much better names that hinted at starting over while not being so generic.
Edit: ok those names are still pretty generic, but they dont have the word Origins.
That's weird, it looks like a very small district and they're used to big cities (Paris, London). I can't find a good explanation : even if the focus is on the countryside/small villages, they can do better than this for one of the two-three big cities of the game ? Even the old AC1 cities weren't that big but certainly looked better than that
Mine was sarcastic though haha
Well you got it
I'm pretty sure that they were way more accurate with the depictions of historical cities in the last few games (London, Paris, the towns in AC3), though feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. And historical tourism and sightseeing is part of Assassin's Creed's appeal. Seeing a fully realised virtual Alexandria was one of the things I was really excited about regarding Origins and what they've shown in the trailer looks far less majestic and impressive than the real deal would've been.

No he was definitely black

lol I know but some people in the official thread genuinely said it looked next gen. Dipped right after because no one has time for those kinda hot takes. �� Also love that he's black. 4chanamcry
I didn't know you saw what Alexandria looked like 2000 years ago, anyways the world is bigger, so they had to downsize some of the bigger cities. Seems more open world.
We've got contemporary descriptions, there've been excavations, etc. We have a relatively good idea of how big it was and what it roughly looked like back then.
I also mainly play for the historical tourism (and the campy stories featuring well known historical figures.) I can't comment on how it looks vs what the real deal would have been, because i dont know. However with the scope of this game, its pretty clear that it wouldn't be fun if they made multiple large cities. Because keep in mind that
This is a game where you have to walk/ride horses everywhere. At some point you have to make it fun and not ask the players who just want a stealth/action game to meander for hours through an endless ancient city just to get to the next objective marker.
