  1. Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Gets Big Player Surge Thanks To Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey

    One of Ubisoft’s older Assassin’s Creed games just got a surprise boost in players thanks to Christopher Nolan’s new movie, The Odyssey.

    Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey has been out since 2018, and according to Rhys Elliott at Alinea Analytics, it has been hovering around 117k daily players across all platforms for a while now. However, following the release of Nolan’s new epic, the game saw a roughly 90% surge in players, hitting 233k players.

    The biggest jump was on Playstation where the player count doubled. Clearly, PlayStation fans like to stab stuff in ancient Greece.

    Alinea’s data suggests subscriptions were the biggest cause of the spike, because the game is available on both Game Pass and PlayStation Plus. Anyone on those platforms who had an itch to experience Greece could jump right in.

    Ubisoft, to their credit, also ran some marketing for AC: Odyssey leading up to and around the movie’s launch.

    Actual sales don’t seem to have jumped, though. Alinea says the game has sold about 300k copies year-to-date, but Elliott does not say there was any big jump in copies sold.

    There’s nothing really amazing or groundbreaking behind this news. I just find it personally interesting to see how other forms of media can have an effect on videogames. In this case, an 8-yeard-old videogame saw a big boost in people playing it all because of a movie that happens to share a name and a setting.

  2. Ich gebe #RedDeadRedemption2 noch eine Chance. Letztes mal konnte es mich einfach nicht abholen, aber vielleicht hatte ich auch einfach falsche Erwartungen. Dachte, es wäre basically so eine Art #AssassinsCreedOdyssey im Wilden Westen 😅

  3. Starting a play through of the Assassins Creed series - this time in chronological order.

    I’m off to 431 BCE during the Peloponnesian War.

    Time to run around as Kassandra again through Ancient Greece.

  4. It's Game Night in the Studio! Witness the might of my fully armed and operational . . . misthios. Assassin. Whatever. We have cultists to stab!

  5. It's Game Night in the Studio and.. um. yup, also Monday. Go figure. Right! So! Cultists on sticks in Ancient Greece (.. no we're not doing cultist barbecue.. on purpose).

  6. Once again, it is game night in the studio, and we are back in Ancient Greece, chasing cultists and other assholes with a sword! Or arrows; one way or the other, they'll get the point.

  7. Monday remains Game Night in the Studio, and we return to Ancient Greece to slap some more cultists and attempt to make things slightly less shitty for people!
    Like you do.

  8. It's been a whole week; literally. But we're back on track, and I'm back in Ancient Greece, and I'm pretty sure everybody could use some cathartic stabbing right about now!

  9. What. Can it possibly be Game night in the Studio?! Indeed it is, and we are back in Ancient Greece, chasing cultists and assholes around the firmament; they do not get to win..

  10. It's Game Night in the Studio, and we're back in Ancient Greece, being trolled by philosophers and smacking cultists into the arms of Hades. Someone's gotta do it, right?

  11. Slowly, but surely, we're getting it together! Oh, and in the game, of course. Bouncing around Ancient Greece, hunting Cultists and chasing down random mythics; just another day in the life of an Assassin!

  12. Right, it's game night in the studio, I defenestrated Windows last night; lets see how much carnage the Technical Difficulties boss has wrought before we tackle this cult, shall we?

  13. Oh, hey! It's Game Night in the Studio, and we're back out in Ancient Greece, getting into it with the creepy Not!Illuminati. You'd think they'd realise that Assassins don't play, or so... but WE DO!

  14. Come on in! It's game night in the studio, and we're back in Ancient Greece, Doing Assassin Shenanigans as the gods intended. Kassandra may yet be questioning her life choices...

  15. I enjoyed many adventures with Kassandra in #assassinscreedodyssey
    Still think the character movement in Origins was a bit better, but I enjoyed the story of Odyssey much more. It was good because the game was huge! The tombs in Origins are more creative than the caves in Odyssey, too. Each game did some things better than the other. #playstation5 #videogames #assassinscreed

  16. It's game night in the studio! More Assassin shenanigans in Ancient Greece; hopefully with slightly less Things On Fire action - unless they're everybody else. Playing a hot assassin should not be that literal.

  17. Oh, hey there come on in it's Game Night in the Studio! And we're back in Ancient Greece, doing our best not to slip... look, the assassin thing is already pretty slick.

  18. I finished #AssassinsCreedOdyssey main story + everything else. The game was huge! I didn't get tired of it because I think it's the type of game I need right now, but maybe it can be too long for some people. I started the 'Legacy of the First Blade' before Atlantis. There's a quest in Kephallonia called 'A Great Escape', but I'm not sure when is the right time to do it. Does anyone know?

  19. Finally reached 100,000 GamerScore! It took me just 13 years; I bought the #X360 in the Easter sale in 2012. I chose it over the #Wii purely because of #Kinect. It's funny how gamer pic and background match. Recently started AC Mirage, which isn't bad, but Origins and Odyssey were definitely better.

  20. Hello, hi! The studio's open and it's game night! The Odyssey continues, and who knows what sort of shenanigans Kassandra's getting up to now. Join me and we'll find out together.

  21. Hey, come on in, it's Game Night in the Studio! Possibly with a cat pestering me; that won't make it less likely that I'mma accidentally commit Assassin Arson...

  22. Oh, hey come on in! It's game night in the studio, and we're back in Ancient Greece with our reluctant Assassin, Ms. Kassandra! Who is Learning Things. So many things.

  23. If there's one thing that tickles me, it's tripping over references to one game in another.
    Like this clip, frex...

  24. If what I read online is right, #AssassinsCreedOrigins came out a year earlier than #AssassinsCreedOdyssey, though the latter looks a bit older than the former and the movements of my character look&feel much less natural. Also, the combat is clunky, and the parkour doesn't flow so well. Even the small sections with Aya on the ship were easier to play. Odyssey doesn't feel like a game that came after Origins. It's so odd. I'm still enjoying it, though. #videogames

  25. 257hrs in #Ubisoft
    That can't be right.

    Ah yeah that tracks.

  26. Le jeu vidéo "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" (2018), dans lequel on peut notamment commander un navire, contient des chants de marins en grec ancien. Ils sont chantés avec une prononciation proche du grec moderne. Les paroles, assez élaborées, évoquent plusieurs divinités et se retrouvent, avec une traduction en anglais, sur des vidéos Youtube comme celle-ci. Je serais curieux de savoir si ces paroles reprennent des poèmes antiques ou si ce sont des compositions originales. Certains rappellent un peu des extraits d'hymnes homériques ou de poèmes de l'Anthologie grecque.

  27. "Troie" de Wolfgang Petersen (2004), Achille à Patrocle : N'hésite jamais !
    "Alexandre" d'Oliver Stone (2004) : Olympias à Alexandre : souviens-toi, Alexandre, n'hésite jamais.
    "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" (2018) : La mère de Kassandra : l'hésitation mène... Kassandra : à la mort, je sais, maman.

    Quand on se croit enfin débarrassé d'un cliché de dialogue hollywoodien, il revient par la fenêtre... On sent que même Kassandra en a marre. C'est d'autant plus absurde que, dans les épopées homériques, les moments d'hésitation et de réflexion sont réguliers et importants pour l'intrigue (ex. Achille retenu par Athéna qui l'invite à réfléchir au moment où il va trucider Agamemnon, Ulysse qui hésite entre deux directions au moment d'explorer une île dans l'Odyssée, etc.). Donc oui, les héros antiques hésitent. Eux.
