Man those leaks are spot on
---

Cover Art
---

Cool cover art; terrible name. I don't really care though I've only played two AC games and only finished one.

Egypt levels in games are always the lamest besides I guess water levels but still

It's like two fucking colors available to you

---

- Bayek starts as a Medjay (sheriff type character) and is in his 30s.
- He will become the founder of the Brotherhood (I don't know how this makes sense lore wise?)
- Customization - you can choose the look you want without this affecting stats!!
- Eagle vision is indeed through an eagle - called Senu
- Memphis and Alexandria are some cities
- Can equip two bows and two melee weapons at once. Also can use fists again.
- Can fire multiple arrows at once (ON A ****** CAMEL!)
- Ptolemaic era
- Mini map replaced for a navigation type one (like Skyrim and Horizon)
- You will have to enhance your hidden blade (I think it says something along the lines of stealth kills not being a one hit kill anymore)
- Free form combat, no counters, has an adrenaline thing that builds up as you fight
- Horses and camels confirmed
- The Crocodile is indeed a target!
- Can dive underwater
- Tomb raiding
- They say nothing about the modern day
- Anything is climbable including mountains and rocks
- Can poison dead bodies, lure enemies, tame animals

Who cares?

Ass Creed has sucked ever since they started churning them out like an assembly line.

Is it going to shift everything to greyscale again? I liked Unity, but that shit gave me headaches.

They specifically took a year off because of that
---

But can you bang Cleopatra?

This sounds potentially pretty cool, though. I stopped playing AC games ages ago.

- Can poison dead bodies

To make them even deader.

Did they get rid of the modern bullshit yet

guards show up to investigate a dead body only to be poisoned themselves.



They have to fix their modern day story before I'll buy a game.

God I hope not.

Well I'm interested. Last AC game I cared to play was Black Flag.

No modern day stuff please

Don't do that here, keep your power level contained.
---

There's nothing wrong with the Modern Day as long as they move away from what they've been doing, which as far as the "Leaks" are concerned (since they've essentially been 100% accurate to this point) they are changing it back to how it was when you played as Desmond.
---

I hope they took out the "Do the mission exactly like this to get 100% synch"
---

Haven't played AC since Unity, but I might follow this one through development. Those bullet points sound like welcome changes, but I can see how it can be misleading with just a few tweaks to their formula.
---

I hope we actually get some clever puzzles and glyphs to solve.

I love super forced memes too, wanna trade rare pepes?

This is awesome

Fucking finally!

I haven't played an Ass Creed since 3, has the overall plot moved forward at all or did they just drop it entirely?

I wish I didn't get too invested
---

I wish they'd just scrap the modern day bullshit and just make badass historical games.

Up until Syndicate, the pretty much dropped it, thus dropping any reason for me to keep playing.
---

I stopped caring after Black Flag tbh
---

this might be the first AC title that I get this gen
---

I might get back into the series for this. I love ancient Egypt.
---

This actually sounds good.
---

I'm glad they took their time with this game, this actually looks pretty legit. As an AC fan I was getting exhausted by all the yearly releases.
---

Well, AC3 seemed pretty fresh and had the same amount of development time but then it turned out to be pretty bland. The biggest problem games have is introducing features that have zero impact on the overall gameplay, and are just sort of "there."
