Taking a look at its PC demo we get a sense of where Assassin's Creed Valhalla is headed - a game that builds on the template laid out with Odyssey, with huge promise for scaling between current and next-gen consoles.

 

[T-Cake]

Cripes, I hope it is a really early build - that frame rate seemed to be all over the place, even running at just normal HD resolution.

 

[cormack12]

1080p demo slice? Whoa.

Also wtf is up the seals at 4:20. Or is that cos im watching on mobile?

Basically saying we will probably get a black flag jump for new consoles while we wait for our true unity moment.

 

[Fake]

Yeah, Black Flag vibes until we get a next step on the series like Unity.

Animations look really glitchy in this review copy.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Interesting, Assassin's Creed is a monster series, I like it.

 

[Evilms]

It's definitely an odyssey/origin skin.

 

[Birdo]

I'd be so pissed if I just paid £500 for a console and the games looked like that....

If you blindingly ignore first party games or just use Nintendo Switch, you're right.

Never buy from scalpers.

Just be careful with your trolling sir. You know what happen last time.

 

[Birdo]

I'm slightly confused. So I have three questions for you.

1. Why did you accuse me of trolling?
2. What last time?
3. What happened to me in this imaginary "Last time"?

You may be mistaking me for someone else

 

[Fake]

As usual. Just make sure you want to take a part of the conversation.

I was taking part in the conversation. I said that I would be dissapointed if I got a next gen console and the games looked like this.

Then you showed up accusing me of being a troll (Of what, I don't know. Maybe next-gen? Who fucking knows).

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Looks like shit and runs like shit. They should hold off with these previews until game is more acceptable state.

 

[NullZ3r0]

Trash. The setting of Odyssey looks better. I prefer Norse mythology over actual Vikings.

 

[Fake]

Still no RT after all.

 

[Andodalf]

How was this played? They say they have no idea what the PC specs are, so it wasn’t on their system, and with COVID there’s no showroom for then to have played it at. Is this pre Covid footage or was it played via game stream? Idk what else it could be

 

[sxodan]

It looks better than Odyssey no doubt, especially the grass, which has received a big overhaul as far as I can tell. I'm excited, Odyssey is one of my favourite games in the series and I hope Valhalla is everything I loved about Odyssey and more. Can't wait.

 

[iorek21]

I’m still shocked for the Ultimate Edition price here on Brazil

Not only this game is an Origins/Odyssey reskin, but also charges almost half a minimal wage for the “full experience”.

Screw you, Ubi

Going for Cyberpunk 2077

 

[Starcheif]

Cyberpunk should really hurt the sales of Valhalla so Valhalla will probably be half price after a month.

 

[Thugnificient]

Unity is still the best looking AC game lol.

 

[Fake]

Unity is still the best looking AC game lol.

Indeed. Tom even mention on this video btw.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Amazing how these AC games, that look so utterly average, could have such high CPU/GPU requirements...

 

[DESTROYA]

Odessey still looks like a better game. I know it’s still early but still...

 

[Fake]

Odessey still looks like a better game. I know it’s still early but still...

I guess the settings (desert) helps a lot on Origins. Still find Origins a great visually game.

edit: Mistake Origins with Odessey.

Why would anyone jump to next consoles just to play some asscreed is beyond me.

You’re confusing the two. Origins is in the Egyptian desert. Odyssey is in Greece.

 

[Rikkori]

More than anything they have to work on their optimisation! It's pathetic how poorly odyssey uses cpu & storage and all it does it bottleneck itself. Sadly I'm not very hopeful they care.

 

[Life]

Can't create hype out of a turd.

 

[Fake]

Oh yeah, sry. Talking about Origins.

 

[Siri]

It looks fantastic, the lighting in particular. I liked Odyssey more than Origins, but the two games had a similar look and feel. This game looks completely different. Really excited for this.

I don’t think so. Assassin’s Creed is one of the most popular franchises in the history of gaming. Cyberpunk was made by a developer who appeals largely to hardcore gamers.

The general consensus of this forum (Assassin’s Creed, shit - Cyberpunk, great!) doesn’t stand up outside this forum.

How popular is Assassin's Creed? The series has sold over 140 million copies

The massive historical series has also seen 95 million unique players step inside the Animus

If anything, it will be the other way around.

 

[bilderberg]

And Unity is still the most impressive looking one. Crazy.

Disagree.

Assassin Creed is a farming like game that has every so often, in the same fashion as Farcry. Cyberpunk is a new franchise/take in the market and since its a new thing(kinda) people will receive it with open arms. Not to mention the whole hype they're building through the years.

With Ass creed, people can just skip that crap and pretend it doesn't exists because they gonna make a new one(aka recycle assets and mechanics) years later. So it's a case of "you're not losing much playing this one" case.

 

[Droxcy]

Omg that looks disgusting

It’s high fantasy to believe that Assassin’s Creed is not the Harry Potter of gaming and that The Great Unwashed are waiting for Cyberpunk.

It’s been two years since Odyssey. The Great Unwashed are going to devour Valhalla.

The majority of the game buying public - the people who actually powered those 140 million units sold for Ubisoft of Assassin’s Creed - aren’t hardcore gamers. Most of them haven’t even heard of Cyberpunk.

 

[SupremeHoodie]

Game is gorgeous.

 

[Saber]

Terrible comparison.

Harry Potter is an overall great and acclaimed series. Ass creeds is nothing but a farm of a rehash game every so after a couple of years.
Not trying to downplay the game, but its what it is. People will not care about an Assassin Creeds game coming against a fresh new take in the market because they have nothing to lose skipping this game. Years later they will have a new Assassin Creeds game with a new theme but same thing all over again.

Everybody I know who has a console has heard of cyberpunk - and they all barely play videogames

 

[eot]

This was the first I saw of the game, and I'm not that impressed tbh.

 

[Armorian]

If it's not DX12/Vulcan it will run like shit as always.

 

[martino]

We can hope there is dx12 support because of XSX version.

 

[Siri]

This is why we’ll never agree about anything. LOL.

 

[Hayriko]

Imho i find the games after unity/syndicate a bit of a downgrade or i just like the visuals better there.

 

[T-Cake]

That's interesting, is DX12 Ultimate the only API that the XSX uses? No DX11 whatsoever?
