Ashraf Ismail, Director on Assassin's Creed: Origins, stated that the team stood far away from adding 'floating collectibles' and opted for content that has meaning.
He also talked about the challenge of recreating pyramids with almost 100% of the architecture successfully replicated.
In a poignant announcement, Dutch indie developer Paladin Studios bid farewell after an impressive run spanning “almost 19 years.”
Considering the level of games they made, I'm surprised that more than 2 people worked there. 45 people (+ outsourcing) making mediocre mobile games, like cut the rope. I mean dude....Nintendo stooped to new lows in quality development and entertainment standards.

Nintendo made a significant move by issuing a DMCA notice to take down more than 8,500 clones of the popular Switch emulator, Yuzu.
The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.
There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.
lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to
Nice, floating collectibles is getting rather old
I hated collecting all 100 feathers in Assassin's Creed 2. It took so long, but I wanted that platinum trophy
>_>
From what I got to play at EGX, I'm somewhat impressed with Origins. It did suffer from some fairly large framerate issues on the PC version I played, but that should hopefully be ironed out before release. A focus on historical accuracy, at least with the pyramids and location, should be nice. As for collectibles, I'm sure they'll have replaced them with some other asinine thing.
It never bothered me. It makes sense though. Assassins creed 1 was stupid realistic to me. The animations, the graphics, it was top notch. Having these random things floating around does seem out of place when I think about it. Moreso than the random animus glitches. I never really thought about it till I read this lol.
