I am so fucking happy they finally turned the combat into hitbox based combat and more than one enemy can attack you at once. This will probably be one of the best assasins creeds since black flag considering it actually got a 3 year dev cycle. The design director for the game is super enthusiastic and you can tell he put some passion into the game from listening to him talk about it. I have high hopes since I adore the setting they chose.
I do wish they'd stop with this fake 4K shit though.
[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;52548224]I do wish they'd stop with this fake 4K shit though.[/QUOTE] This one actually is in 4k though
The voice of the first character does not match the way his mouth and body moves at all (check 1:30. Really ruins the immersion when the characters are just slightly moving dolls with laughable lipsync. I can see that they really tried to make the characters look livid with the random sequence of generic body animations while talking, but it just looks so dull...
I like the way they changed the combat, but when fighting 'The Horseman' [sp]they build him up as this really tough guy and you really need to figure out a strategie. But right as the narrator says that, he simply steps two steps to the right to get behind the enemy and kills him.[/sp] To me it seems like just more of the same old Assassins Creed
[QUOTE=redBadger;52548232]This one actually is in 4k though[/QUOTE] Actually in 2160p? No, it's checkerboard rendering again, not talking shit about checkerboard rendering mind you, but it's not proper 4K.
It looks way better than any recent AC title, so that's a good sign I think it'll be enjoyable and a big improvement based on what's shown off but we'll see I guess.

Even on a 4k PC monitor it should still be decent enough if implemented right due to the pixel density. If you can't actually hit a native 4k, but can get damn close with clever rendering techniques you might as well try.
12:50 - did that enemy just get pierced right through with a spear and then continue on attacking?..

[QUOTE=Marbalo;52548319]Endless trash.[/QUOTE] I guess any series of anything nowadays is "endless trash", no matter how much effort is put into it.

The lip sync is reminding me of Horizon: Zero Dawn.

[QUOTE=Marbalo;52548319]Endless trash.[/QUOTE] I watched Red Letter Media and noticed that [thing] is in a franchise, I'm special and mature for pointing this out. Next I'm going to tell you how I clapped when I saw basic continuity.
[QUOTE=Marbalo;52548319]Endless trash.[/QUOTE] It's literally not because they took a long break from the cycle and are making a game that seems to break away from some of the stale features of the series.
[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;52549789]The lip sync is reminding me of Horizon: Zero Dawn.[/QUOTE] Lip sync quality in open world games is going to vary a lot depending on the importance of the scene. What they're attempting to show off here is the baseline quality for mission sequences, as you've got a game here with tons of optional side quests and mission, they can't all hit the same production value.
I can't say I'm even close to a fan of this franchise's gameplay, but man is that a gorgeous Egypt.
The graphics somehow look worse than Unity.
I find it hilarious people are bandwagon bashing this. It looks great. How it's still a funny meme to shit talk AC is beyond me.

Last AC games I legit enjoyed was 2 and Black Flag. This looks really interesting though.
