Pinoy PlayStation

Due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 27 (and optimized for Project Scorpio), Assassin’s Creed Origins has been in production since before Assassin’s Creed Unity. It uses a brand new fighting system with new A.I., and rather than a mini-map features an Elder Scrolls-like compass at the top of the screen. There is no longer a button to sprint, as running speed depends on the analog stick. Crouching will also return, and buttons for free running up and down have been removed. Everything in the game can be climbed, including mountains and rocks. The series’ mainstay Eagle Vision will return, which is done through an eagle named Senu, but is now a subtle pulse that highlights objects rather than enemies. Puzzles will return, but promise to be more challenging and have less switches.
