Fizzzzle Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Just by watching the trailer I feel like I've already played the entire game in my head, but it still looks like it could be fun. Interesting that we're getting a full game before any of the movie sequels that have been in development for the last 27 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Assassin's Creed: Pandora. Probably will follow the standard Ubi template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think if one of the sequels actually came out I could get into this more. it’s hard to get excited to get lost in this world when I only got to see it like the two times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Character lighting looks pretty flat at times, some of the foliage is pretty simplistic up close, there’s lighting artifacts, etc. It’s not bad looking, but I think Horizon 2’s gameplay demonstration was more impressive visually, even outside of cinematic trailer cuts. As for the game, my mind keeps going back to Ubi’s King Kong game for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I like that Ubi is willing to have these massive workforces really, theoretically it’s a good thing and should help with employers being overworked and with polishing their games up etc. But instead the worlds just get more and more massive. Keep the employees, downscale scope, get stuff shipped out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I wouldn't have expected the gap to be so big. I suppose that's a big reason that Ubi will be pushing their new live service AC game.

stepee Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It is this year damn. I’m definitely going to need to figure out getting 3D working on pc games with the rokid by the time this comes out. Hopefully this will just have native 3D in options though, their Avatar game for the first movie had it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Looks nice, but not quite up to par with Outlaws. I feel like the primary thing the trailer sold was "experience Pandora in a game" while the gameplay looked pretty generic. That will be enough for some, but I'm not very optimistic. I do like the idea of story co-op though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, more flying combat the better. Same goes for Star Wars from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora aims to mix Ubisoft's open worlds with James Cameron's "sustainability" WWW.EUROGAMER.NET Ubisoft Massive discusses its James Cameron movie adaptation Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, an open world first-person action game similar to Far Cry. Quote Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has finally appeared in the wild, and much the same as with Star Wars: Outlaws, Ubisoft's other big new open world game based on a big fantasy movie licence, we saw it in a bit more detail behind closed doors over in Los Angeles - and spoke with the game's creative director, Magnus Jansén. At first glance, much of this gameplay reveal is what you'd expect from a Ubisoft Massive (and co.) take on an action movie licence: it's open world, it's action-adventure, it's got bows and arrows and assault rifles, outposts, wildlife, resource collecting, crafting and customisation. It's in a nice sunny, broadly exotic jungle. It's Far Cry, in a lot of ways - but there is one twist. Frontiers of Pandora is trying to make its design feel a bit more "sustainable", as Jansén put it to us. Typically, games like Far Cry and its design cousins tend to feel, for lack of a better word, a little colonial: you turn up in a new place, and you go around harvesting as much as you can from that place - animal hides, plants, natural resources - until you've built up enough brute strength. It's a gameplay loop that sits in direct opposition to the ideals of James Cameron and his Avatar franchise - with its ultra-militarised humans rocking up on idyllic Pandora and burning it to the ground in search of Unobtainium and magic space ambergris. Environmentalism, naturalism, and generally not just rocking up somewhere to harvest as much of its naturally occurring stuff as you can for your own benefit is kind of the central message.

Phaseknox Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 This looks good, Avatar meets Far Cry. I think that I would like it more if it was third person instead of first person as I prefer third person games, but I still expect to like it.
