[IGN First] Assassin's Creed Odyssey: (Re)Building Athens

This is looking great. I might start up Origins just before Odyssey and do that historical tour to warm me up for this game.

Magnificent.

What an incredible historical asset this is!

The opportunity to walk through Ancient Athens, at ultra high resolution of detail, is something I have always fantasized about.

I'll buy this game just to wander these locations for hours, gazing upon the origins of western civilization, taking in the beauty of Greek art and architecture.

This is really amazing. In some ways the market value of a big game like this is allowing the expenditure for something of a great value to the humanities.

This is a great tool for educators and students who might want to experience ancient Greece as it truly looked.

Have we got a decent look into the various biomes other than what we saw in the first trailer?

That is fucking incredible. The world looks amazing. Buying this on PC for maximum graphical detail.

Crossing Eden am I misremembering or is there some form of base/town building in the game?

If anything AC games are worth a play through just explore the historical cities they always manage to replicate in painstaking detail and scope.

People always say Rockstar make the best open worlds in the industry but with the recent AC games I don't think I agree.

"But .. but... Ubi does AC ebery year. they suk"

I totally agree with you, Ubisoft is low-key the best open world makers by far.
R* games are good for sure but for how much time they take to make games, they really aren't better than a modern UBI open world game.

Always the bit I've enjoyed in AC games, exploring the world they've crafted.

Origins had some great stuff if you just decided to look around.

You upgrade your ship, including the crew as the game has a phantom pain like recruitment system.

I don t understand the rockstar praise about open world.

Compare watch dogs 2 and GTA5, WD2 ismuch more immerqive with much more details especially with NPC.
Gta5 is beautiful but kinda... Empty

Agreed. I also think it's more impressive to put out insanely detailed world's in historical periods than yet another modern city.

Not watching vid, blackout mode now, but super exited for this after Origins impressed the bejesus out of me.

Having lived in Athens, I'm excited to explore it in a video game as it once was.

Exploring this world is going to be amazing.

Man I was hoping this is a city building system like they did with homestead (AC3) but expanded.

But they're doing phenomenal work at recreating historic setting, as usual :)

That was awesome! Can't wait to explore this world.

Here I am nearly three years later still needing to finish Syndicate... Then I'll check out Origins, eventually and then this too when it's cheap.

Syndicate is great. The zipline makes transversing much more fun.
