Immortals Fenyx Rising: A tour of the open world
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
I would be much more excited if we got an Ubisoft vs Monster Energy legal battle at this point.
Even removing 'generic Ubisoft open world' tropes from this game I can't separate it from the icky feeling I get whenever I see Ubisoft.

I really like the scope of the world. Huge statues and big mountains and huge cliffs. Looks cool!
Game looks great without an UI
I think the Gamexplain preview said UI elements could be disabled?
Combat looks good too

"Hermes' area, Clashing Rocks, is sort of the tutorial area where we want to give you all of the tools, introduce you how to use each of them, and then we set you free in the world after that to go free and do whatever you'd like to do."
Hmmm...
Really looking forward to exploring this world, looks really cool and intriguing.

Really hope this pans out. Waiting for a good sale won't hurt, but if it gets 90+ I'll probably go day one.
It seems to be a fantasy Greek-myth offshoot of AC Odyssey, not unlike the Elysium DLC itself. They still have yet to reveal the modern-day sections though.
I'm kidding, this game may give people the best of the mechanics and settings of the recent AC games, without some of the rules and motivations of the world of AC. I expect some repetition across areas, but don't mind it so much in the AC games as it is. I'd be interested to see any super-duper mythological challenges.

Ok I usually feel like people overstate the BoTW-ness of this game but I legitimately thought I was looking at BoTW at first with that gif
I love this so much. I don't even care how much it's cribbing from BotW. It looks like a game I want to play, so they've done well so far.
And hearing that you can turn off UI elements is a big plus. AC:Odyssey had that exploration mode which was a nice touch, but it was still mired in the Ubi-ness of it all. Hopefully this let's you go full BotW pro-mode and just have fun exploring without the need to be guided if you don't want to be. Should be an option in every open world game, honestly.

I would love for Developers at some point to also reveal how much of their open world is actually designed and how much is just 'here's some terrain and our artists tried to make it pretty'...
This looks pretty cool, but everyone seems to slap this 'open world' buzzword onto their games thinking it's the next cool thing that gamers want to hear, when it really should all be about the quality of the level design instead.

Gamers: Bring Breath of the Wild to PS4/XBox
Nintendo: No
Ubisoft:
Ubisoft is a bit late to the party though, because Mihoyo already does it before on PS4, PC and even mobile phones:

How is it that AAA marketing budgets are in the millions and yet they can't afford to buy their spokes-developer a decent mic setup/train them to not record over zoom.
Love how this looks. It being so delineated by zones instead of a cohesive world is the only thing that is a bit weird. BOTW effectively had "zones" too, but I felt there were at least some transitions between areas. Here it looks like a sharp drop off where each zone is very much cut off as the next starts, almost like it's WoW or something.
But that's a minor complaint. I really like how the more colorful areas pop. Also cool that they are putting in more mounts than just horses. Hopefully there's a Pegasus unlockable in there.

Can you set the grass on fire? Get struck by lightning if you're holding metal weapons?
If it has similar levels of environmental interactions, then I'm all-in.
This looks like an iphone game from an unknown developer that gets taken down for stealing someone's ideas.
This is the most recent thread about Fenyx Rising so I'll just bump this one.
I was just watching this walkthrough video by Ubisoft and this game looks really fun. I appreciate they try to do some things different than AC Odyssey's Fate of Atlantis DLC, with the flying, combat system and enemy designs. Also puzzle and platforming elements in the vaults seem good.
I also like a game I wouldn't immediately have to turn off once my daughter enters the room.

Games too violent for her? Or not violent enough? She may be secretly a Dark Souls fan.
By the time I will play this she will be two - so everything daddy plays is way too violent. At least the game is colorful and of she sees me playing it she will like it. (Of course I try to not play at all when she's up and about, but that's a discussion for another topic ;) )
I didn't really like Zelda to be honest. But having watched this, I am for sure buying this game. It looks fantastic.

You can always make a new thread. Its something new and official. It will get more eyes on it. :)
