According to a recent report from Ubisoft, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, releasing on November 10, 2020, will not only run in 4K on the PS5, but also with 60 frames and in full 4K resolution
Assassin’s Creed has always been a staple for good cutscenes that engage the audience. However, it's grown lacking of the latter now.
The story was at its most interesting early in the series, but has eventually ended up spinning its wheels going nowhere. The games don't feel linked together anymore. This is to make it easier to constantly churn out endless sequels.
The smaller more intimate maps and historic references are lost. The setting used to be a character in AC. Now it’s just a massive empty shell of its former self.
There's never been a better time to get into Assassin's Creed thanks to these deals.

The older ones are kind of a chore. I did enjoy Syndicate and Unity, though.
@Hoologan
I had a good time with Origins for the most part.
Waste of money, after the Desmond story arch, but even worse is that its a waste of time. The franchise is just spinning its wheels going nowhere. The further you progress through the series, the more 'corporate' it begins to feel, until its nothing but an empty husk, begging for you to spend money on its micro-trash-action store. There are loading screens in Origins informing you that if you spend money on "fun costumes" you'll feel better! Despicable.
Save your time for something better. Modern day Ubisoft is garbage.
To each their own I guess? I really enjoyed them up until odyssey and valhalla was decent. I still really enjoy exploring the massive detailed worlds and the characters, stories, gear, and combat.
I have never once been swayed by a loading screen trying to get me to buy DLC as these games have 10x more content than you would ever see anyway. I do agree the series seems to be going the wrong direction at the moment, but would still highly recommend origins, odyssey, and to a lesser extent, valhalla if you enjoy adventure and exploration games.
not every AC game is worth playing tho ha.
i feel like it stopped being good after 3. and 3 was even a stretch.
1 and 2 tho? amazing.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
100% agree
All these ubisoft titles, Farcry, AC, Ghost recon, boast huge maps, but with the same, 3 missions or the same base to clear 100s of times. Hour 1 of any of those titles is the same as hour 100, there big for the sake of being big, with the illusion of player freedom, where we really want depth and player expression.
Give me a solid 15-20 hour engaging single player driven IP any day. Life's too short you dig.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter
It's been a problem with pretty much every modern AAA game all through last gen and this gen. God forbid you point it out tho because all these big games are masterpieces and people lose their minds if you criticize them. Death Stranding is a fetch quest fest, but people will die defending it cause it's a "masterpiece".
"That’s not all however, as it seems that the PlayStation 5 version will take advantage of some of the console’s more unique features, such as “the fast SSD technology to shorten loading times and the Tempest Engine for better sound.”
Looking forward to the state of the art, 3D sound we can expect in PS5 titles
Perhaps making a console that is extremely easy to develop for so as many devs told DF has its benefits. Or maybe PS5 isn't nearly as under-powered as some would have us believe.
Either way, great news for PS5.
I think this is a translation error. Smeagol says PS5 can't handle 4K/60 fps, and we know he doesn't like.
the 12tf v 10tf was a no starter from the beginning, Cerny has added much more to it when all working together might possibly have same performance as series X and imo in open world games might even be better due to quicker ssd access. ive read an article that RT will arrive later on xbox with a patch i want to see which does RT better
With MS having the marketing deal with Ubi for Valhalla (never makes sense to me why Ubi always does this with MS when their games have always sold better on PS4) I'm pretty sure this was one thing they, Ubisoft, couldn't just come out and say about the PS5 version. It's funny that after the pre-orders have gone live for Xbox this info finally comes out. And, it seems like it will have even more features than the Xbox version due to the Tempest Engine and DualSense. I hope Ubi really takes advantage of the SSD capabilities in both systems. The loading times in Odyssey were atrocious.
