Don't know about this just yet. I haven't played Origins so can't judge on the link it has with it if any but with the RPG elements and the whole Spartan thing it looks like its Assassins Creed in name only, looks like Ubisoft are moving in a direction in which the franchise wasn't intended for. But just like most games this gen RPG elements and customization is part and parcel. Just don't know if it fits the Assassins Creed lore. To me Assassins Creed is Templers V Assassins. Guess we have to wait and see. In the meantime I should really get moving on playing Origins.
Looks fabulous through.
Go play Origins by the far the best AC game.
