Yep. Mind you, I played it first on a PC which made it buttery smooth. I liked it a lot eventhough it was a slow burner.

3 is probably the one I like least.

I remember Brotherhood's multiplayer seeming cool at first but ultimately it was just dull as dishwater. It had some neat ideas though, so I'm wondering how many people still think about it and/or reckon it might be a good idea for Ubisoft to take another crack.

I would really rather not, TBH.

Maybe some kind of AC Animus/Mirror's Edge/Trackmania hybrid free running racing game?

Finally started AC Origins last night as I'd like to not get behind on the series and its pretty good so far, although someone in the menu UI team clearly played a LOT of Destiny in their spare time.

It sounds like a spin off - Black Flag.

Hmm...

Loks almost exactly the same as Origins, almost like a reskin.

It really does look like a reskin.

It's a shame this isn't an add on for Origins, after Far Cry 5 they could really lose the bit of good will AC gave them.

I guess that explains the quick turnaround in release, too.

Aren't all same gen sequels a reskin to some degree?

Origins is still one of the best looking games around so it's not a bad thing from that point of view, my problem is that the narrative and dialogue will be absolute garbage again.

It's a weird one. Even when the games were annual, they were still different enough to avoid being called a reskin. Black Flag was spun off from 3's naval combat but had its own identity. Unity took it back to a big singular city and Syndicate was hardly a carbon copy of that game. The all had a slightly different interface, control scheme or whatever.

This one looks exactly like Origins. Unlike the other annual entries, which were developed concurrently and by different teams, I wouldn't be surprised if they've just rapidly knocked this out after Origins got a lot of plaudits. They couldn't resist the money involved in going back to annual release, clearly.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying it's completely a bad thing that it's a reskin. I really enjoyed Origins and so it sharing many of its mechanics (if that happens to be the case) will mean that I am more quickly able to get into it and enjoy myself, but that familiarity could also turn into a negative, as it did with me with the latest Far Cry.

I think Parksey's nailed it with that.

Surely it is not Origins DLC?

The Ancient Greek looks good but I think I’ll wait for more details. I was hoping a saga story with Bayek but this seems like a spin off such as Freedom Cry.

Not a bad thing though.

Calling it now: stand alone expansion costing £30.

Black Flag a spin-off? or do you mean Freedom Cry?

I ask, as Black Flag was AC4 and also linked with 3 and Rouge.
