Removing sprint button.
Control speed by analog stick.
I am not too sure about that.

Excited for it though
 

 

Frees up buttons on the controller for other controls. Makes a lot of sense.  

[san_Assassin]

A.I. does not take turns to attack.

As you fight, an adrenaline gauge fills up, and when both attack buttons are pressed powerful attacks are unleashed.

Leveling system that has a level cap of 40.

 

looks very interesting.  just hope they don't screw up the shitty combat this time.  hyped 

[Tyler]

Combat seems to be inspired by Dark Souls / Bloodborne.

Overall the changes sound great on paper.

[mohit9206]

Any information on storyline? Because i don't care about gameplay. Its the same in every game. I play Assassin’s Creed for the story and characters.

 

 

[Heaven Angel]

Here we go, again! 

[WhiteWolf]

Game will have DS style combat.  Iam really interested in it. They are completely changing combat system.

Check the details. Gameplay is more DS this time.  

 

 

 

Ambar ne add nahi kiya for Obvious reasons but game is made for Scorpio from ground up. 

 

According to GI 

 

Good stuff. AC: Origins in 4K on Scorpio and running smoother than the PC demo they (Game Informer) were shown. That, plus they got it up and running on Scorpio in just weeks after getting the dev kit.

 

:p

I am genuinely starting to hate this description. Developers use it to get easy hardcore gaming cred. 

 

I remember when Witcher 3 said its combat was inspired by DS. :/

 

Still, kinda excited for this. Havent played an AC game since Black flag which is really enjoyed in most areas.

 People are saying combat is more like For Honor than DS.  

 

People really liked core gameplay of For Honor

Most likely will be GOTY contender if not the winner. So far everything about the game sounds fantastic. 

 

ASSASSIN’S CREED ORIGINS – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ITS NEW SETTING, NEW HERO, AND NEW ACTION-RPG GAMEPLAY – E3 2017 .

 

 

 

 

 

• The NPCs of the world have full schedules, day and night.
• The NPCs are living a life in this world which includes working, sleeping, socialising, eating, peeing, and so on. Farmers farm, priests run rituals and prayers, bandits ambush and steal, Ptolemaic guards patrol, defend, transport and so on. All of this is based on their day/night cycle, and as you learn more about the world and the specific characters you meet, you can play with where to meet them, assassinate, attack, steal, infiltrate, and so on.
• Head out beyond Dionysias and you’ll come to the desert, where goats roam among hyenas, cobras, and camel-riding bandits. There are pockets of civilisation amid the dunes, as well as harder-to-find points of interest that hold a unique allure for Bayek.
• Stables are just one of four types of shops, too; you’ll also be able to visit blacksmiths for a continually updated selection of weapons and shields, weavers for new outfits, and bazaars for rare loot and mystery crates (which you can earn through daily quests).
• For the first time, Assassin’s Creed Origins seamlessly integrates underwater exploration with the rest of its world, letting you freely dive wrecks and underwater ruins in search of loot. 

 

HOW COMBAT HAS CHANGED

 

Quote

If you prefer a more indirect approach, a well-aimed shot can break open the cages of captive lions or hyenas to create a deadly distraction. Your arrows can also be lit on fire if you’re near a blaze, which is great for igniting the red pots of oil stockpiled throughout the world – to say nothing of small enemy boats, which can catch ablaze quickly and collapse under their occupants (who will then attempt to swim to other boats and continue the fight).

Mastering Bayek's weapons and abilities are essential if you plan to tackle another of Origins’ new additions: boss fights against formidable warriors and strange creatures. We played through one of these, set in an arena in the city of Krokodilopolis, in which Bayek faced down a hulking man known as the Slaver. His weapon of choice was (appropriately enough) a man catcher, a spiked, forked polearm that he used to grab Bayek and hurl him around the arena, frequently into rotating spike traps.

AN ASSASSIN’S TRICKS

 

Quote

“Bayek starts the game with most of his basic gear except for the Hidden Blade,” says Ashraf Ismail. “All his gear starts at level 1 and levels up through crafting, which increases the stats of the gear and its appearance. The Hidden Blade is found by going through the story, and it is necessary to keep upgrading if you want to maintain the ability to perform assassinations. Otherwise, you do stealth damage and enter combat.”

Speaking of stealth, it can be a little easier to sneak around fortified encampments at night, when visibility is low and some of the guards are sleeping. And if you don’t feel like waiting around, you can fast-forward through the day by making  Bayek meditate until nightfall. “More often, you have guards who sleep at night,” says Ismail. “But the counter to this is that you also have more bandits active at night, so you can be ambushed or attacked if you are not wary of such things.”

“We want players to have fun finding their own way through the ability graph,” says Ismail. “The Hunter path is made to lean towards ranged fighters and stealth players. Warrior is obviously made for melee fighters, and the Seer path is for playing with manipulation – Assassin tools, economic persuasiveness, animal taming, etc.”

“Aside from watching things burn and doing damage, fire is also a distraction,” says Ismail. “Guards will investigate fires and try to put them out. Major fires will make people flee! It’s a tool that is useful in stealth.”

QUESTS AND A NEW KIND OF ADVENTURE

 

Quote

“We didn’t want to hold players’ hands,” Jean Guesdon says. “This is why we decided to remove the minimap. We want you to enjoy and to actually experience the beautiful world we’re bringing to you. You will have to play the game to put icons [on the map].”

More than an extra step in finding a mission objective, this exercise underlined Assassin’s Creed Origins’ new approach to the structure of its quests. Rather than being locked into a clear chain of A-to-B story beats, you’ll take a free-form approach to discovering your objectives, and you can pursue them more or less at your leisure. After visiting Hotephres, for example, we were tasked with visiting his wife, Khenut, who held a ledger pointing to the identity of a sinister figure known as The Crocodile. However, talking to one of Hotephres’ deckhands also revealed rumors about farmers in Dionysias, who were dying as their fields were burned by unknown assailants.

Skill tree: Warrior, Hunter, and Seer.

• The Hunter class is for those who favor archery. It also includes abilities tied to Bayek's eagle, Senu, who can scout ahead for you to spot enemies and points of interest.
• Warrior is pretty self-explanatory; if you prefer to use brute force, these are the abilities for you.
• Seer abilities mainly include the use of tools and tricks, like smokescreens. It's sort of like a rogue class and is the most nebulous of the three categories.
