Looks cool and all, but my god just call these games like Animus: Valhalla. Its just an insult considering these to be Assassins Creed games, really bums me out because it used to be my favorite series until they went Witcher Lite.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Official 30 Minute Gameplay Walkthrough
- Thread starter litebrite
- Start date
England at this time didn't have a ton of large cities since it's still the Dark Ages. The only one that will approach the scale of cities in the past two games will be Winchester unless they have a large city in the Norway portion.
My #1 theory for the story will be that there will be a clash between Eivor's culture and the creed of assassins.
I can't put my finger on it, but comparer to Origins and Odyssey, this just looks rushed and incomplete.
Or it could just be Ghost of Tsushima ruining my expectations for open world history games can look.
I think we need to really start expressing how extraordinary Sony's patience is...

The Last Kingdom on Netflix is a great historical document of the period!
Somewhat /s although it is more accurate than similar shows of its ilk. Valhalla is drawing heavily from it.
What's interesting about this time period is that it's post-apocalypse. The fall of the Roman Empire meant that civilization collapsed so you have all these little kingdoms fighting for survival until Alfred and his descendants unite England under Saxon rule.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla looks really terrible. Especially since it's designed for 30fps on next gen consoles. I didn't expect it to look this bad.
Gameplay looks boring as fuck. What a mess. Hard pass.

If they wanted to excite me: tell me what isu tech they they hunting and if we are stuck with Layla again or someone else. Its really the only reason i play these games. And Desmond > Layla. Her story goes on in real time unlike his, so there is no growth, the last 2 games go on a real time skip that leaves several email readings to fill in gaps.
The actual game will look a lot better than a poor quality video. Odyssey is still one of the best looking games on current gen.
Man I watched other video... It is not possible. It looks really good the graphics. Odissey is one of the best graphics from this gen(PC version) and this new one looks incredible.
Thanks God AC doesn't depend of Era to sell well. Greg Miller video about the game is really good too, game is incredible:

It's on the same level If not better than W3 I'd say.
That official footage somehow has worse quality than the press one...
I really like main character design, but those design didn't translate well into the game, even compare it to Odyssey early footage.
How they go from this

Man, that Eivor model really is trash. What happened?
Yes, true, but everything else has gone on to betray that promise of a "blade in the crowd." Vikings aren't exactly know for their stealth skills.
Same here, I really wish they could recapture the intrigue of the first games with the present day timeline, I literally have no clue what the f the current present day timeline is about even though I finished Odyssey like two months ago, yet I know exactly everything that happened with Desmond and what they were trying to prevent. It's wishful thinking that they'll ever go back to that, at least there was a time when AC games had a bunch of unique elements compared to the games released at that time.
Yeah, but then where are those negative feedback then? Cant find it on the internet
While I think it makes sense after what, 12+ games (?), I agree. I think they should split the series into two. One for the "blade in the crowd" and one for these last three games. There are still a lot of locations left that would fit the gameplay of the first few games.
Game is going to sell, especially being a launch title. But boy does it look uninspired and nothing like an Assassin's Creed game. This straight up looks and like RPG-Brawler, something I'd never though I'd say about AC.
Needs a lot of polish as well.

The raids look goofy. The abilities stuff from Odyssey totally needed a scrap or overhaul and I'm seeing the exact same shit here down to the poison effect...
I watched quite a few previews, and it looks really bad yeah. I have no idea what's going on here. Seems like they didn't improve anything over Odyssey.
Game looks fun as heck, and I hope the world is as fun to explore as it was in Origins and Odyssey.
However, I do worry about the repetitiveness of the activities, like raiding and assaults and whatnot.

Did you really like Arno as a character though? To me he felt stale, bland, and tired. Like a poor man's attempt at a new Ezio.
Gameplay looks ok, general graphics are ok too (a bit disappointing for their final effort of this gen though) but man, the character models look like absolute crap. What the hell happened over there? I'm not crazy to think that Odyssey and Origins had way better models right? At least for the main characters.
Another thing I don't like is how enemies barely react to being hit. I guess seeing the numbers float is more important for some reason.
Overall, this game seems too by the numbers even by Ubi's standards. Will get it at a massive discount if at all.

Are these the worst faces in a Ubisoft game in recent memory? I played Origins not too long ago and I swear the models look overall much better than this crap.
Oswald's face is lol worthy.

I really hope this this is indeed a work in progress, Kassandra set a high bar and to drop to this would be rough.
Lots of potential in Canterbury, York, and London too, being Roman cities. I think that's a good way for them to get around the large stone buildings issue (for parkour fun) and having them in various state of ruin would be fun for climbing too =)
Origins was honestly the high water mark for AC graphics in this RPG age. No game has looked as good since lol
This looks a bit uninspired.
Watch Dogs Legion was promoted as current gen and feels way more varied and imaginative.

I'll reserve judgement until release, but at the moment this looks bang average, like a reskin of Origins and Odyssey. Hard pass for now.
I would say yes, if the faces in Watch Dogs Legion weren't worse, sadly.
A step down from the ones in Watch Dogs 2, for example (but I get it, they're procedurally generated).
Wait a minute, I thought you can't wield a shield?
It was a dealbreaker for me.
You can even dual wield 2 shields! No idea why you would want to, but you can!
This looks really fun. There's a bit of jank and some uneven asset quality here and there, but it's an enormous open world game made in 3 years, the last of which under a pandemic, and the game is not finished. I'm not worried about the quality at all. It's not quite the mindblowing next-gen experience people are craving for, but it was never gonna look like TLOU2 which was done in about twice the time and in a linear fashion.
Nah, I enjoy these "new school"-Assassin`s Creed-games. It´s just the technical execution in the trailer that worries me.
Watching Kinda Funny's first impressions and the female character looks way better in that footage:
NGL they really need to split the series up. This is clearly trying to reincorporate elements of the old AC games and it's going to result in something that doesn't make you happy or me as a fan of the new series. That's frustrating.
