Ive gotta hand it to Ubisoft, nobody does open world maps like Ubisoft.

Rockstar does

[@scottenosh4548]

@@thestentorian9461 Rockstar does a great job too. It'd be nice if they were quicker on the production side of things BUT the time they take making games is what makes their games great.

@@scottenosh4548 Rockstar has about 2000 employees while ubisoft has 18,000. Imagine what rockstar could make with that many people.

[@scottenosh4548]

@@michi-fv2mf The problem with having that many people working for you is that investors tend to start rushing the game's release. This is exactly what happened to Cyberpunk 2077....CDPR went from small dev to big dev way too fast. RDRII is special because it was clearly fine-combed over and over again.

[@Pyke64]

These landscapes look so impressive!

[@stc3145]

Its wierd they went to Lofoten to get inspiration when the game takes place hundreds of kilometers south in Rogaland lol

[@THEONLYDC]

Maybe there was more historical features towards the north of Norway.

[@VikingNerd2024]

Not at all, actually. They had a limited opp to showcase Norway and how it is uniquely harsh. Lofoten/Northern Norway showcases that. At the same time, historical figures like Harald Finehair did their thing in southern Norway. So what do you do? Combine the two. This is science fiction, after all. Not 100% historical accuracy.

[@engrfka]

I'm sure they cut out Ashraf's interview since he was the creative director. But I'm glad they did that. What a shame, Ashraf was THE man in the AC franchise and I just hope someone even better steps up for the betterment of future AC games. There is no doubt Ash is someone who treated the AC franchise to the best of treatments but sadly..anyways I'm enjoying AC Valhalla, thanks Ubisoft Montreal

[@ZahhibbDev]

Yeah it really is a shame. I looked up to him a lot because he appeared to be a genuine nice guy and a insightful developer, but in the end looks can be deceiving.

[@DarkBloodAssa]

At least there is still Jean Guesdon left. He was around since the early days of the franchise, and the creative director on Black Flag and Origins (Ash was not, unlike on Valhalla). I hope the reason he was not involved in Valhalla's development is because he is working on a future game. Maybe some sort of split happened after Origins to start working on both Valhalla and a next gen title, because the only other AC team (Quebec) was already busy with Odyssey. One can only dream.

[@ZahhibbDev]

@@DarkBloodAssa Hmm, I'm pretty sure Ash also was the Creative Director on Black Flag and Game Director on Origins. Maybe they have several directors on each game? Edit: Weird, his IMDB on Black Flag says Creative Director, but in all marketing and stuff he says Game Director.

[@PandoraKyss]

This reminds me of when they traveled to Nepal during research and development of 'Far Cry 4.'

[@grdprojekt]

Say what you want about Ubisoft (me? appalling bugs still plaguing the game after 2 years), but their world design is incredibly immersive and I unconsciously just miss the environment of the game when I'm eager to open it. Same goes with Odyssey, Unity, you name it.

They actually went to Norway, but still managed to call the male viking Eivor? "OK"...

Play the game, there's a reason for that.

Eivor is a woman..

Female is Canon, play the game to find the true reason if the male character

"Odin is with us" Basically

The character is canonically female, but there's a reason the male version exists..

[@templarknight77]

Yet they used none of the inspiration in the actual game. Not one normal tunic, not one normal cloak, not one chain mail armour, and not even one normal hairstyle. What a fucking waste.
