After 70 hours of gameplay I started discovery tour and it’s incredible. The map itself is gorgeous and during gameplay I spent a ridiculous amount of time just riding my horse throughout places like Alexandria and Cyrene, i took a ton of pics and now this is the icing on the cake. Each tour offers interesting facts in just the right amount. No tour takes longer than 10 mins and it’s split in several checkpoints. There’s no way you can lose focus and there’s plenty of time for the information to sink in. This is the future of learning! 👏
Nice HAT you're wearing, Aoife. I'm all for this sort of thing, not only because it can make education a lot more fun and engaging, but also because it provides game engines & all the work that goes into the assets with a longer lifespan. It imbues the hard work of devs with ongoing value that can't really exist with games alone (because of constantly evolving worlds and new games coming out so often).
I cant wait for this if only they had this when i was in school. I take lot in from games as i cant read or spell that well. So to have this is great wish i had this in shcool i think this is goin to be so good for kids. Its about time they did this with games. Not all blood and killing. I hope they do more of this in games to come
Already I want to get Origins, it looks like one of the best installments so far, but having a relaxing mode that focuses on history with images, tons of stuff to read, and commentary from educated historians, well, I would be in heaven. I wish they had something like this in previous games. Ancient Egypt is a great setting for the tours and a fascinating part of history but I would love to have tours in the colonial era or industrial revolution.
As someone with a strong history background, the possibilities with this kind of mode, either as part of future AC games or even as its own entity, could be - both as great educational tools AND fun. And it's got me excited not only at the hope that this mode is implemented in all future AC games - especially since both Feudal Japan and the Viking Era have been rumored - but also that Ubisoft could go back to previous locations from past AC games, remaster them and give them this treatment in a new Discovery Tour package. Imagine getting to explore AC1's Crusade era Jerusalem, Renascence Florence from the Edizo games, the Age of Piracy from Black Flag or the spawling worlds of Unity's French Revolution and Syndicate's Victorian London. Next to getting a time machine and going back in time to these places it's the next best thing, in my opinion.
I have always been interested in this game the only reason I haven't bought this game is I'm not that good of a player but with this new tour guide one learning about the history to being able to see where I am going might help out a lot I am definitely going to get this game now I might not never get to the end because like I said I'm just not that good now if you put a Zelda game in front of me I can finish that definitely going to get it with the guide looks very interesting and fun thanks for sharing
Fantastic contribution of Assassin's Creed Origins to students, teachers and researchers. This tool help us to know better some aspects about the Ancient Egypt. Learning history can be also funny! Let's play!
Think its great that they added it, although for me personally i liked how it was done in the earlier AC games where you can play the game and the optional banner pops up.
It's the best thing added to assassin's creed origins so far let's see if the curse of the pharoahs is better or not cause I'm really interested in ancient history.
Is there any way to slow down the movement of the avatar characters here in discovery mode? The movements you show us here are far too fast for me to absorb anything.
Doe anyone know if discovery tour will be a feature in the 2 new areas in the game? I'd love to know more about the Sinai and the Valley of the Kings regions.
Pyramids werent built around 2000 bc lol. Water weathering suggests id be more like 10000 bc. There is so much other misinformation about the Great Pyramids of Giza. They are incredible ancient technologies few understand at this point.
Already traded the game in. - I actually missed the way they had the history in the campaign, kinda fleshed out the world as you were playing. Still, sounds like they've done a great job with this feature.
HandMadeSpider Ubisoft has said that there are 75 tours, each between 5 and 25 minutes each, if I remember correctly, so probably between 15/20 hours of tours :)
Descendant of Kraff I hope so, but most countries don't put a focus on ancient history later on. You will not need the knowledge provided to get your A-Levels. Sad but true. I don't think it could replace teaching, but for sure boring museum tours.
what a squandered oppurtunity. its like a disneyland version of ancient egypt. At least in the visual depiction, everything is ridicoulus in size or inaccurate, pandering to videogamers. Most of all bug me the mountains in the background of gizeh.
M8 the map isn't to scale obviously. It's physically impossible to be able to see Alexandria or anything south of it from Giza like you do in the game. They're literally like 2 hours apart BY CAR
cant wait to be black dude in Feudal Japan and be called "historical" lmao more like "hysterical" Ubisoft literally doing a virtual slap in the face to the Fans and People of Japan with the next Game. What a joke, AC Origins/Odyssey do it right. The right amount of gameplay with immersion of the culture properly respected.
This is legit awesome, I would have adored this at school. Would love to see Ubisoft keep discovery mode for future games.

They should do this for every AC from now on, as a classical historian I'm completely awed.
I went to an ancient egyptian exhibit at a museum in my city and they had a room full of computers running discovery tour

Cleopatra was walking all like "Come at me bro"
Turrs should support VR in first person mode, and it's perfect!
Oh wow you can play as Shadya? The feels...
Khemu too :(
I work in a school I need to tell my boss about this.
Please do.
Do it!

This is pretty cool, plus it'd be great if they implemented this in past games as well as future installments.
This would be absolutely amazing in VR!
yeah i know right............but anyway kudos to Ubisoft for listening to us

I love the idea of this! I hope it catches on with vr. I might have to invest in vr gear if it does.
Discovery Mode should be add to the previous AC games and the ones that will come after Origins :D
Having this in AC Unity and Syndicate too would be awesome!
since playing this game I think I can name at least 30 of the 50 Egyptian gods
Can't wait for this.
Better than the history channel.
It'd be awesome if they went back and did this for Syndicate, Unity, Black Flag etc. Probably not gonna happen but we can dream :)

trish griffith just put it on easy mode
AXEL VISSERS thank you
trish griffith 😂

Let's play!
Absolutely amazing work by ubisoft. The game as it is feels like a time machine anyway. The tour will be fascinating to do.
this looks really cool! hope it's a mainstay for the series going forward.
This looks deadly, definitely will be checking it out when I finish the main game.
This is the best educational game since Mario is missing
Think its great that they added it, although for me personally i liked how it was done in the earlier AC games where you can play the game and the optional banner pops up.
calling it. eurogamer best gaming channel
This is so amazing. Im glad history can be taught this way to kids.

"Assassin's Creed Discovery Tur Mode". Come take a tur with us!
It's the good old discovery channel but interactive and in 3D!
Doe anyone know if discovery tour will be a feature in the 2 new areas in the game? I'd love to know more about the Sinai and the Valley of the Kings regions.
"Turrrs"? Interesting pronunciation of tours. :) Anyway this is awesome. Might be enough reason to get this game.
Lovely :)
Kinda wish Ubisoft hired the presenter here for their tours voice actor
Pyramids werent built around 2000 bc lol. Water weathering suggests id be more like 10000 bc. There is so much other misinformation about the Great Pyramids of Giza. They are incredible ancient technologies few understand at this point.
This is awesome and i cant belive is not behind a paywall o grindwall lol

Egypt OP; R.I.P. Seleuccids.
Amazing!!!😍😍
"Released on the 20th of February."
Wait wait wait, what? If I remembered it correctly, when I woke up this morning it was still the 13th of February.
I think she meant that it will be released on the 20th. Bit confusing.
Thats beautiful!
how to start this mode?
Core2TOM Isn’t out yet.
Super cool
How many hours of gameplay this sums up?
HandMadeSpider Ubisoft has said that there are 75 tours, each between 5 and 25 minutes each, if I remember correctly, so probably between 15/20 hours of tours :)
1:04 how is realised on 20 if February when it's 14 now do you ment to say 12? That was my birthday y'all
Does this mean i can parkour as caesar in first person?
Will they use this in schools? That'd be the best class ever.
Descendant of Kraff I hope so, but most countries don't put a focus on ancient history later on. You will not need the knowledge provided to get your A-Levels. Sad but true. I don't think it could replace teaching, but for sure boring museum tours.
Bass Lightyeah you can follow a bachelor or master degree about ancient history
AXEL VISSERS Of course you can, but I was talking about Schools, not Universities.
I wonder how sick of saying the word "tour" Aoife got while recording this
"Tur"
@@johnspaulding3375 not as sick as me hearing her say tur.
The Alexandrian Library Was Burnt Down And The Books Were Probably Stolen
Nice video Eurogamer! But please, lower the "S" sounds, it kinda hurts my ears.
Aoife I love your voice !!!
Assassin creed Origins is based in Egypt and Libya!! Look Cyrene, Marmarica and Libue in Wikipedia if you don't believe me
Cyrene was under Egypt at the time, as was a lot of other regions that now belong to neighbouring Palestine, Sudan, & Libya
Turrs
Na endlich kann i mal beweisen dass man von spielen a was lernen kann. 😀
Say 2 hours again. Please.
what a squandered oppurtunity. its like a disneyland version of ancient egypt. At least in the visual depiction, everything is ridicoulus in size or inaccurate, pandering to videogamers. Most of all bug me the mountains in the background of gizeh.

I love this game as it is but this! This tops the cake
