Gonna have to actually pre order this one. Was lucky enough to get the NES in the last JB shipment, no chance in hell I am missing this bad boy.

You know with a bit of common sense and $60 bucks, you can have something that does the same thing plus the NES on the one machine, and is a lot less restrictive.

But not in the nice official case.

Also, my NES mini has every NES game possible on it, not really restricted.

Report: New Assassin’s Creed game is a prequel called Origins

Appears to be set in ancient Egypt

The next Assassin’s Creed title will be a prequel called Assassin’s Creed: Origins set in ancient Egypt, according to a leaked image of the game corroborated by Eurogamer as well as other media reports.


Earlier today, a now-deleted Reddit account posted the image above to the Assassin’s Creed subreddit as “your first look at Assassin’s Creed: Origins.” It appears to be a photo of a computer monitor running a development build of a game in which a character is standing on a wooden sailboat. A bow and arrow, as well as a shield, are slung across the individual’s back. It was possible to raid boats in the previous game, 2015’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, but the last mainline entry in the series to allow players to pilot boats was 2013’s Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.

No new Assassin's Creed game this year, Ubisoft confirms (update)[/paste:font]
The main objective is telling the player to “assassinate the Crocodile,” while the currently active goal is to “follow Shadya to Khenut’s Villa.” Crocodiles played a prominent role in Egyptian life — the Nile crocodile was a dangerous predator, and the Egyptians immortalized it in their mythology with Sobek, a protective but aggressive god associated with military might and fertility. Khenut was an Egyptian queen who lived during the Fifth Dynasty, which ran from about 2494-2345 B.C.

Assassin’s Creed is one of the leakiest franchises in gaming, with details of upcoming entries in the series frequently revealed before publisher Ubisoft officially announces them. Kotaku reported in January 2016 that Assassin’s Creed was taking the year off and would return in 2017 with a game codenamed Empire set in ancient Egypt; Ubisoft confirmed the hiatus a month later, but has not yet commented on the setting.


Last week, WWG reported that the 2017 title was now called Origins, and that it would be a prequel that would bring back Black Flag’s naval combat. Eurogamer, citing three independent sources, said today that it has confirmed WWG’s report of the name: The game is called Assassin’s Creed: Origins and will be released later this year on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. Eurogamer did not confirm the Egyptian setting, but said that its three sources said the leaked image is legitimate.

We don’t really know anything else about this year’s Assassin’s Creed title that’s concrete. However, a Ubisoft executive said in November that the game would focus on giving players a less scripted narrative and allowing them to tell their own stories within the game world. You can see the full leaked photo below. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for comment, and will update this article with any information we receive.

Sounds really good.

It'll be more of the same: bloated Ubisoft s**t.

Will buy and complain about it later.

I think this will be similar to Watch Dogs 2.

One day Ubisoft will be able to keep a game from leaking before E3.
This and Far Cry 5 being a modern day western both leaked this week.

AC could be good since its made by the same team who did Black Flag

If it's like Black Flag the game will fly off shelves my favourite AC game.

 

[SwampCreature]

It will annoy me when they retcon the s**t out of what was a pretty well-crafted, consistent universe originally.

Mind you it also s**t me when they did it Revenations, and again in 3, and then in every single once since.

Series peaked a brotherhood. Shame.

I can dig that, also the new AC sounds promising.

Anyone interested in Alan Wake, but never ended up buying it?
It's going to disappear off of Steam and Xbox Live in a couple of days forever due to music licensing issues.

It's apparently going to be 90% off on Steam from tomorrow morning until it's removed.

Ubisoft confirm/announce that Far Cry 5 & Assassin's Creed will ship the 2017/18 financial year.

They also announced The Crew 2 and reconfirmed that South Park will also ship the same financial year.

I don't get the hate for The Crew I really enjoyed that game and looking forward to the next one.

In addition to online content every weekday, they will be on Seven Mate from Thursday week.

I miss GG, but this doesn't look too bad (apart from a hinted focus on eSports).
