There is speculation that since this takes place before Origins and the start of the Assassins, that this is going to be the start of the Templars, given their strong Greek ties in Origins
But it was shown in Origins that the Order was created by an Egyptian Pharoah in the 1300s bce. It's seen in the side quest that has the farmers defending from a bandit ambush.
I have hated how much anger I've seen on Twitter saying "its not accurate anymore since you can be gay".........even though its historically proven ancient Greece was EXTREMELY gay
Starkiller did you really just use gaywads as an insult wtf lmao i literally cant and im pretty sure every straight guys gonna sleep with every female in the game so bye
I love how all assassins creed games literally have a connection it’s why I feel in love with the games the story mainly cuz through most of the years the game play was the same!! If you get the game on sale if you didn’t really want to spend to much money on it!! I think this would be an awesome thing to have in your collection of games (aka all assassins creed games) it takes alot of time to complete but super worth it if I ever get bored I play another game for a bit than I hope right back on and I’m good as new!!! Best series of games I have ever played!! And I have played a lot 😅
about the fact that this game doesn’t integrate the assassins, I think this story is more about the link between the protagonist and your first civ artefact, which the modern day character Layla and the Assassins might be looking for. They said that modern day would have a more important spot in this game, but I guess we’ll have to see when it launches
I never paid much attention to all the E3 stuff until now. I just figured if it was good then i would hear about it. Thanks Blindwave, you guys are the best 👏😊
It could be the start of the Templars?? Because the words of sparta and athens is chaos and order.... Something i kind of relate to the templars. So then we have the start of the assassins and the templars.... And then they can on from there? Other than that, i am really excited for this game... Love the time period and just looks stunning as allways.
had to come and watch back on this. This guy mentioned that he was surprised that odyssey is releasing so ''soon'' well, the director of odyssey in the E3 said the team has been working on it for 3 years which means about from syndicate ish they started working on this? sooo.. Also, Odyssey has been out for a while now actually and i still in 2020 love this game more, than any other video game out at the moment. I just love everything about ancient Greece and the history itself is so damn interesting, also because irl this was like what, over 2400 years ago? which is pretty difficult to do historical research on, so having a game like this to play is just pure awesomeness. I'm soon to reach 600 hours on odyssey, have done multiple 100% runs and replaying the story with different choices + DLC's ofcourse and not tired of it (Yet lol).
i think the biggest problem with NOT beign a assassin in this game is.... they showe us the origins of the assassisn in origins.. what if maybe they are showing us the creation of the templars in this game? since King Leonidas is your ancestor and sicne his spear has a golden glow to it which i think didnt the apple of eden has a golden glow to it to? which im guessign MIGHT have something to do with the spear and thats why the tmeplars are searching for the apple sicne the templars MAY have the spear and all they need is the apple
Basically 5 non-AC fans review an AC trailer, imagine that...first and foremost, AC is NOT just about wearing a hood and using a hidden blade, as the true *origins* of Assassins began with Adam and Eve (Origins the game was just the beginning of the Brotherhood, big difference). As for this "not feeling an Assassin rather than 300*, as always you can play as a warrior or using stealth...nothing new there!
As an AC fan myself, I loved the aspect of the iconic hood and hidden blade. That's what made it "Assassin's Creed". It's what made it different from thr other games. Now it just looks like Witcher 3 or Shadow of Mordor. Very disappointed that Ubisoft chose this path for this game.
What the hell are you even talking about? I am just stating that Ubisoft is obviously making a game where the spartan style and look is definitely a focus for the game. And I am only stating my opinion that I think it is completely stupid to not give us an option to have a shield so we can play the fantasy of that iconic Spartan warrior. If other people don't mind, then that is fine by me, to each their own. And just because something is perhaps not common does not even matter, we are not playing someone common either. It is a game and one of the few that has us playing a Spartan, and I think it is lame that we are forced to use that broken spear instead of a shield. And why would they slow you down in the game? It did not in Assassins Creed Origins so why would it in this game? It is not like Ubisoft is making realistic games anyways. And what is actually a mercenary? The definition taken directly from the Cambridge dictionary is "a soldier who fights for any country or group that pays them" What arms that mercenary uses can be anything. It can be whatever the one that hired you wants you to wield and they can be highly professional soldiers too. There really is no restriction to what a mercenary can use. Why is your view on what a mercenary can use so limited I wonder. Perhaps you should check out something called the March of the Ten Thousand. Which was a mercenary army of mostly Hopilites. Do you know what that is? If not, then I suggest you educate yourself on that. But I will extend an olive branch and let you show me a source for your argument that mercenaries would not use a big shield in ancient Greece. Because that makes no sense as Hopiliites was like the most common soldier type you saw in an army back then.
Merwanor ok,i guess.I mean... An Assassin who is supposed to kill one person has to have a big shield.Great,that makes a lot of sense.And by the way,Origins' shields were small.
I am just hoping for the option to have one, that is all. And there are big shields that you can get in Origins, though they are rare. And you can pretty much ditch the whole sneaky assassin and go full warrior in most of the game. And from the gameplay they showed for Odyssey there was mostly just close quarters combat and no sneaky stuff. Heck they even showed us that we can take part in a bigger battle. They are turning it into a full blown RPG and the sneaky aspect of AC is becoming less important with each new title.
Personally, I don't care for this game as it stands now. I played ACs 1-3. Loved them. Then, I tried 4, and I realized the modern day plot took a complete backseat, not passenger side. Now, seeing what Assassin's Creed has turned into after all these years saddens me. Nothing about this resembles AC. RPG mechanics, no stealth, etc. This game could have easily been its own IP, but it seems Ubi is too scared to try that and are using the brand name. I'm all for improvements to the combat and such; Revelations handled that pretty well. However, the story was completely scrapped. Don't get me wrong, this still looks like a pretty cool and fun game, but this is not what I'm looking for.
The modern day plot was garbage so thank God it took a back seat. I for one am very glad they are changing things up, the game has been incredibly stale from Revelations until Origins finally brought some life back into it. Even though I loved Black Flag that was mostly because of the excellent Naval Combat.
I didn't particularly care for the modern plotline, but I hate leaving stories unfinished. The first 5 games kept stringing us along with all these little clues and the promise of grand mysteries. To spend years playing these games expecting that to give some kind of payoff, and then never get any resolution is bullshit. Good story or not, after 5 games I just want an ending. Ubisoft blueballed us hard.
You all realize you can CHOOSE how you play, right?? Just like in every action game, you can go guns blazing or choose to be stealthy, and each have rewards and consequences! Just because you don't see it a trailer or how one person chooses to play does not mean it is absent from the game. RPG elements also allow us to customize how we want to play even more, so those are always a welcome addition in an action game. As for modern day, whether you liked it or not, it is coming back in a HUGE way in this game!! This is the studio that did AC3 and Syndicate, which focused on Isu and PoE more so than the other games, and it is already confirmed that we will be seeing a return to how it was handled in AC3. Sooo...you're either a true fan or you just need to find something else more your style...like Rabbids or Splatoon!
Ya know they keep giving you playable options for women, and now they're giving you a choice to make your character a woman. But I think it'd make waaaay more sense to just stop dipping their toes, and go balls deep and make a (main; ie, Liberation doesn't count) game with a single, female main character. This just seems like a half ass attempt to please the masses that will be potentially jarring and take you out of the game.
It makes no sense you can change the decisions let alone the gender of your ancestor through the Animus, I'm not a fan of the direction they're taking AC, the whole "epic RPG" isn't what I want from an AC game it feels like they're trying to copy Witchers success, instead of improving there own original idea for the game, by now I hoped AC gameplay would look like the AC3 target render footage, but the closest thing to that is Last of Us part 2
ess double-u problem is from a gaming standpoint you can't do the same thing over and over again it has been the same style and the sales showed origins was a breath of fresh air the franchise desperately needed AC can't be COD or Mario where you can be the same game and still making profit. Which is the reason why they went the RPG route
ess double-u your right it doesn't make sense that you can choose the gender and change there decisions but if you think about it I don't think it will stated in game the choices you make is what the person controlling anonymous is doing it. Think of like im ac 2 you play desmond who relives the memory of ezio so you controlling ezio who is being controlled by desmonds but in oddsey your playing Layla but when you choose to be male or female that's like you choosing who's story to follow and if you choose female the male never existed so now you choose what the character does like being on Athens side or Spartas side your character chooses Athens but you can choose the other side to see what would happen it's not like it's already defined so your not technically changing the acenstors actions because you are the ancestor. If that makes sense I don't know if you will read all this it's can be confusing
wow you are stupid, inside the game the person sitting in the animus isn't changing the decisions, ITS YOU who is making these choices whatever choice you make is the history of the character you are playing. moreover current animus don't require a blood link to the historical person
I'm sorry, but you can't say they're 'copying Witchers success'. That's completely retarded. The Witcher games didn't invent the RPG genre, they were quite shit, actually.
Assassins creed is basically the platform for ubisoft to experiment with game ideas and concepts ie Black Flag - Skull and Bones and I'm find with this... Also if Bioware isn't going to make a Bioware game but Ubisoft is? Fine! I want this to succeed. Hopefully games like this wont be/feel so rare anymore.
RedSpeedster at least consider your words m8. You can still do assassinations, using a blade. You CAN wear hoods, if the early screenshots were not clear enough. This IS Assassin’s Creed. It’s just... not how you’d picture it, okay?
Can’t believe they’re allowing homosexual romance in the game. It’s just so disgusting to have the one game series I care about take such a left turn...
Never mind the fact your character has always been meant to be "unique" and standout in a way, even the male characters have never blended in with those they battled beside except at the VERY start of the series
Yep, you are just playing as a descendant of a Spartan, not actually as a spartan, cause by this point in time Sparta has kinda turned from what it was.
There were never spartan soldiers but she ain't a soldier anyway she is a mercenary spartan women knew how to fight but were never soldiers like the spartan men and never did thr Agogi
This game would be better without the rpg choosing stuff and with a set female protagonist instead of having to choose. AC has lost my interest after all of these years now because of this game.
you already know about that..i can guarante that this is going to be origins 2.0 with shit logic (animus ) and no assassin rootes(except the first civ)
This game really lived up to everything they promised, so great
it was really good
The lore punching the air rn
It really did man
Gets shit on for not being "Assassin's Creed" enough, but it's a great RPG open-world title with a really awesome setting.
Nah
There is speculation that since this takes place before Origins and the start of the Assassins, that this is going to be the start of the Templars, given their strong Greek ties in Origins
Yeah, i also saw this early on in gameplay and trailers...
But it was shown in Origins that the Order was created by an Egyptian Pharoah in the 1300s bce. It's seen in the side quest that has the farmers defending from a bandit ambush.
I'm guessing since he's carrying a piece of eden that it will be about the first civilisation in some way
Joe h It is apparently ...
Tarknaal Assassin's existed Thousands of years before the existence of the creed.Adam and Eve were *technically* the first ones.
I have hated how much anger I've seen on Twitter saying "its not accurate anymore since you can be gay".........even though its historically proven ancient Greece was EXTREMELY gay
Chandler Rerie yea and didnt most of grecce accept or just didnt give af about being gay until christianity came along
Zane : basically
That's not even remotely true lol. It's all conjecture. What we do know is pedophilia was not uncommon.
BumpOnALog alexender the great had a male lover
That doesn’t make better the fact that they’re even allowing it in the game. It’s a twisted perspective, no matter how
"I don't see an assassin but looks cool" it was spot on
KASSANDRA, YEAH!
(also tbh had they given the "choice option" for Origins, my Bayek would have made out with Cleopatra at least once...)
Im ready to be one of the gayest spartan warriors in the game now that they're giving us romance options
Starkiller did you really just use gaywads as an insult wtf lmao i literally cant and im pretty sure every straight guys gonna sleep with every female in the game so bye
how are we messed up in the heads? It seems that you are the one who's more messed up due to the fact you just choose to insult others unprovoked.
same lol.
Nothing out of character for ancient Greece
@@lemmehelp9293 how bout you stop being a homophobic, idiotic, pig of a person and let people be who they are you more than likely inbred freak :)

My second AC game , I love it.
Watching this a year later for some reason after the valhalla announcement, still enjoyed
Same

Fredrik Salvesen
I've read an article that says the game takes place a few centuries before ACO and it will be about the origins of the Templars.
Well technically, they weren’t founded in Origins. But I see what you’re getting at
it tooks place 400 years before Origins
I’m being Kassandra and have the gayest relationships possible.
Just played the game. Absolutely amazing!
Ikr this is a really amazing game, but some just expected too much and throwing shits just bcause it has to do with the "Assasins" in it's name
"i don't see the assassin but look's Cool" 2:10. True words man...
Coz the timeline was 300bce. So the Assassin's brotherhood wasn't born
Idc wtf you say, but this game was fucking awesome!
Still gives me chills
had to come and watch back on this. This guy mentioned that he was surprised that odyssey is releasing so ''soon'' well, the director of odyssey in the E3 said the team has been working on it for 3 years which means about from syndicate ish they started working on this? sooo..

I wonder if we are gonna run into darius the inventor of the hidden blade who i think was Greek and the killer of xerxes
You called it
Alternate title:
300: THE GAME (slightly more realistic than the movie)
I'm excited for it
I fucking love Ubisoft
Remember 560 , 540 assassins creed is in Iran and character is Persia assassin , is very very cool but Year’s wait that not good.
I’ve never played one. This one might actually make me try it.
Bree jordan you should play origins first,
no you should play all the previous ones before this
i think the biggest problem with NOT beign a assassin in this game is.... they showe us the origins of the assassisn in origins.. what if maybe they are showing us the creation of the templars in this game? since King Leonidas is your ancestor and sicne his spear has a golden glow to it which i think didnt the apple of eden has a golden glow to it to? which im guessign MIGHT have something to do with the spear and thats why the tmeplars are searching for the apple sicne the templars MAY have the spear and all they need is the apple
Norse Lavenza the pieces of Eden are all like that. The spear is a piece of Eden
14:18 that nut shot was dirty
Love the setting, in fact I've wanted this for a long time too bad I'm burnt out on this series, if this was like 3-4 games ago then great.
Assassins Creed Origins - Odyssey DLC
i have played this game before im level 41
Halloween trailer reaction please guys.

Its time to jump up in the ai- waiiit wrong game
I truly hate the fact that we can't use a shield in this one, playing a Spartan warrior without a shield is just not right.

Merwanor pretty sure they ditched the shield for the broken spear
Maybe the name should be just "Odyssey"
An assassin is someone who kills for money or whatever.
i am soo looking forward to this game but the presenter was so giving me robot annie vibes from community
One of you guys is tired
We know what happened next 🤣

I Completely agree, and It looks like with Odyssey their bringing back the Naval Combat.

There have been stealth shown in game play vids.
Hi
There’s always that pessimistic guy in reaction videos
Wait are these the Greeks or Romans my memory is shot
JJ R. Bones Greece’s Sparta
I like the new dialogue choice feature.. still will probably be bored of the game a few hours in though :P

Two characters... Nice. Hmm. Cool. While what they are all really thinking is what da fuck...
This game is good, but not Assassin's Creed.....
RedSpeedster at least consider your words m8. You can still do assassinations, using a blade. You CAN wear hoods, if the early screenshots were not clear enough. This IS Assassin’s Creed. It’s just... not how you’d picture it, okay?
Starkiller I don't think he got what you said.The majority of AC fans are fucking retarded nowdays.
The AC games are beautiful but boring
Can’t believe they’re allowing homosexual romance in the game. It’s just so disgusting to have the one game series I care about take such a left turn...
Starkiller it has been scientifically proven that Greece was full of homosexuals
That’s historically accurate about Greece though...
THERE WERE NO FEMALE SPARTANS...all these games are becoming to PC for my taste.
Kíre Howard Spartan Warriors** Of course there were females IN Sparta.
You don't play as a Spartan, you are a mercenary unaffiliated with either Athens or Sparta
Never mind the fact your character has always been meant to be "unique" and standout in a way, even the male characters have never blended in with those they battled beside except at the VERY start of the series
Yep, you are just playing as a descendant of a Spartan, not actually as a spartan, cause by this point in time Sparta has kinda turned from what it was.
There were never spartan soldiers but she ain't a soldier anyway she is a mercenary spartan women knew how to fight but were never soldiers like the spartan men and never did thr Agogi
This isn't Assassin's Creed... This same somebody RPG... Very bad Ubisoft
fix your engish
This game would be better without the rpg choosing stuff and with a set female protagonist instead of having to choose. AC has lost my interest after all of these years now because of this game.
you already know about that..i can guarante that this is going to be origins 2.0 with shit logic (animus ) and no assassin rootes(except the first civ)
