Immortals Fenyx Rising - Blu-ray Forum

Zivouhr · 09-22-2020, 01:39 AM

Immortals Fenyx Rising from Ubisoft will be available for PS5, and PS4.

Best Buy has the PS5 version, which releases December 3, 2020, for 59.99. Ubisoft, thank you for starting at that price with their basic game packages.

[Show spoiler]

The game looks interesting, though the trailer has music that seems out of sync with the game IMO.

I'm hoping there's a closer camera view when you aim stuff. I have to watch the gameplay videos now.

Zivouhr · 09-22-2020, 02:13 AM

Cool, thanks. That's a good summary video.

For the gameplay, when you aim an arrow, the camera zooms into shoulder view range, which is what I wanted to see. This way, when exploring, I can get a close up of the terrain and world as though I'm there. If the camera is too far, that's fine for combat, but not in the sense that I'm part of the game, so it's good to see something to control the camera distance to a degree at times.

Looks like it could be a lot of fun. Obviously on a base level it looks like a very colorful Assassin's Creed game, but it looks different enough to definitely be worthwhile.

Only bad thing is it comes out right after some other big games, so there's really no reason for me to get it right away as I won't be able to play it for a while. Still, I plan on getting it at some point unless it surprises and turns out to be a turd.

I added Immortals Fenyx Rising to my wish list a few days ago.

Only other games this year for me are,

AC Valhalla
Control UE
Spider-Man MM UE
Cyberpunk 2077

2021 should be a good year.

I do like the look of this but don't forget, Ubisoft games end up discounted very quickly. Might be worth holding off for a few months before purchasing.

That's going to be my mantra this gen

Diesel · 09-22-2020, 11:22 AM

I would never buy a Ubisoft game for full price when they almost always go on sale within two or three months. Heck this was $10 off already for pre-orders.

If it reviews well I will be checking it out at $35 or less which will probably be spring/summer.

Great minds think alike

This gen you've got to be at least 6 months behind to allow game prices to settle / go on sale.

I keep seeing GoT and TLoU2 being reduced on HotUKDeals. Come Christmas they should (hopefully) be bargain bin games

I can't wait to play this. I've been following it since they first announced it as Gods and Monsters because I'm a big fan of the Greek methodology. Since I had reward points that I needed to use at Bestbuy and couldn't get a PS5 preorder I figured why not and got the PS4 version. Between this and Cyberpunk I'll be good to go till I'm able to snag a PS5 sometime early next year. Hopefully.

This is on my radar.

AC looked promising until I saw it is a re-skin of Origins/Odyssey even with the main protagonist of Odyssey Kassandra being a quest giver in Valhalla.

Watch Dogs is meh

I’ll keep an eye out on Far Cry 6. I really enjoyed the last one.

This game is sounding more and more legit:

A tip for anyone who doesn't know, if you order Ubisoft games direct off their store, you can get 20% off anything if you spend 100 of your earned units from completing achievements in earlier games.

GeneticMutation · 10-27-2020, 02:50 PM

I am excited for this but like I've said many times before, Ubisoft games drop in price very quickly.

Zivouhr · 10-27-2020, 03:29 PM

Fenyx looks like a good open world adventure game. The gliding aspect looks like fun as with other games. I'll get this when it's 19.99 as my plate is going to be full with other games into early 2021.

It's a fair point, there are those of us who are good with playing some stuff on release and not waiting. I'm not one of those with this game, but I'm not going to dissuade others. Practically everything drops down in price eventually, not just Ubisoft.

Oh I agree. Games do eventually drop in price, however Ubisoft titles seem to be the exception and drop the quickest.

Diesel · 10-27-2020, 04:09 PM

Valhalla and this are $49.99 for pre-order. Ubisoft puts their games on sale before they even release now

I like what I am hearing about the game but I stick to what I said before that I am absolutely one of the no way I buy a Ubisoft game near release people. This will be $35 within several months and I’ll have enough to keep my busy during that time.

Vincanws · 11-19-2020, 01:08 AM

Yeah, not sure why. Ubisoft have done similar for Valhalla. It’s aimed at people who are buying the season pass version up front. Personally I’d rather know all about the dlc up front if I were considering the ‘gold’ version of game, or whatever.

This game and its dlc is looking excellent by the way.

Zivouhr · 11-19-2020, 04:11 AM

This game looks like fun in a Zelda adventure kind of way. Looks cool.

Agreed - I think people believe they are entitled to have every bit of content upon release, otherwise it's a cash grab by the studio, which is nonsense. I'm really looking forward to this.

Yep, that's exactly what I thought, and I find the stylized graphics really pleasing.
