Redemption from what? Being awesome

Easier ports to say the least. It's optimized to the core. If anything a tiny boost but not much. The hardware isn't there and you just can't magically add power with coding

take a car for example a 4 cylinder engine optimized to get the most. You can't do much to it unless you add a turbo but you are changing hardware there.

Making easier ports for the xbox 360 is a big plus however!!

Dx12 will make the Xboxone Legendary

good one..

DirectX 12 is really a Game Changer! i just hope i can play any game which completely support Dx12 by 2015!

OpenGL 4.5 and OpenGL NG

OpenGL is an open standard, much more used, multiplatform, etc. Easy choice over Direct3D.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo..............

Am I the only one here that remembers all the Direct X 10 ballocks?

I've heard this before.... Direct X 10 was going to be the saviour of gaming. So many improvements. The next era of video gaming.

I jumped on the band wagon.... I went out and got Vista and a DX10 ready card.... And then it just fizzled onto the scene and really changed bugger all......

Can't help but think "Fool me once Microsoft......".

Maybe this will be different. But they always say it'll be different............

This is not a good thing. This is wrong on so many levels. It’s a VIDEO GAME not real life. It’s ridiculous to think there is a sliver of “disenfranchised” gamers out there that are calling the shots for Ubi.
By Ubi pandering to the sjw’s and whatnot, they’ve set themselves up for this. And mark my words, it won’t stop.
I haven’t finished this masterpiece that is Odyessy yet (truly loving it), but this is about continuing bloodlines yes? Need both genders for that.
This is Ubi’s story to tell, not the gaming community’s.

Just caved harder than Donald Trump on the border wall.

"your character has a child from a heterosexual relationship..."

Umm...is there any other kind of relationship which can result in procreation???

No there is Not.

Oh but excuse me! I don't mean to sound racist or sexist or homophobic or intolerant or whatever-have-you by relaying scientific biological fact. I know that Lunatic Leftist Feelings supercede reality and rationality and facts. 🙄😏

I'm sorry but what exactly is controversial about a woman having a child? Even if she was lesbian, there was no medically assisted insemination in ancient Greece. How about that mission that forces Alexios to be gay? Pure hypocrisy.

I fail to understand the need to pander to such a minuscule demographic. How many of the LGBT community are gamers compared to heterosexuals? Ridiculous

sjwism needs to die already

Keep pandering, they'll keep whining.

Jesus christ. Somebody just wipe this planet out.

This is what happens when humanity lives in an era with no real struggles. Bitching over miniscule things like this.

Controversial = heterosexual lol

Please someone explain it to me; what is so controversial in having a child and starting a family?

I remember mass effect 3 having two seperate modes, one being the action mode where there were no player choice and the other being the RPG mode where there were player choice.
Maybe ubisoft should implement this feature in thier future titles. I for one don't like this forced RPG nonsense in assassins creed, I want assassins creed to have a consistent story...a canon story, not this whole "make your own story" crap. I tried but no matter how I looked at it, a branching storyline just doesn't work in a decade old franchise when introduced in the 10th part.

Good.

Player choice is a major part of Odyssey and they sold it on the back of freedoms around relationships and sexuality.

To force a player to follow a hetero path, at odds with their character choice, is insulting and lazy.

Stupidsm strikes again.
Bottom line Ubisoft doesn’t know how to tell a story anymore or worse is afraid to stick to one.

You can’t please everyone. Someone is bound to be offended.

I don’t care about the gender or sexual orientation of a character. What I do care about is to stick to your story, stick to a direction.
It used to be that AC games were a created protagonist’s story.
Now it has to be everyone’s story, therefore noone’s.

The game is fun, but lore used to be an important element in AC & with stuff like that it’s losing its soul, imo.

What about our heterosexual rights? Is this the new standard that the entertainment industry always giving in when those people complain to get their opinion through? This is part of the reason why the right is getting more popular, and gays are getting punched in the face

So game developers are forced to change the story they created due to community backlash? Would film makers reshoot an entire film and release it over again for the same reasons? Stand up for yourselves developers. If people don't like your stories, thats on them.

These disgusting SJW's and progressive leftists are just a festering infestation.

It's almost turning into a plague now. Ubisoft is simply doing more damage by giving in to these idiots.

God forbid people ever find out that kids are produced from male and female interaction.

The world would surely end.

Ugh how our society has come to...

Ubisoft is weak, like so many of these multi-national corporations.

f***ing retarded

What the hell? Accept that the game has a story! If you want complete control, please play a storyless game. I don't ever hear someone complain about heterosexual sex in movies (or gay either for that matter)

So basically Kassandra and Alexios who are part of a scripted single player story with clear start and ending should have no direct heir of their own bloodline against the game's story and lore because LGBTWTFBBQ players cry and feel entitled?

Don't do it. Stop giving in to non gamers.

Controversy?

Wow is this really a thing ? um go humanity you bastards.

Ubisoft and the SJW subhumans are disgusting.

If it were a Christian issue, Ubisoft would have Google delete them from the internet.

It’s just a game — Lighten the F up.

Of course they cave to the vocal minority outrage mob. Ubisoft always caves to these people, which is a mistake. You give them an inch, and they will repeatedly demand a mile. Stop pandering to these lunatics.

In the game, you drive a sword into a person’s face and rip it out through the back of their skull... What are we debating again?

Ridiculous!!

people are still playing this series? wow!

Ubipandering.

Make your game the way you want it don’t give in .Though it was a stupid choice to begin with or lack of choice

This is why making it appeal to every orientation doesnt really make sense if your end goal is to have a Child be bore. Tell the story the way you want to tell and stop making it appeal to EVERYONE.

And so the "progressives" keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.

apologizing for nothing was the biggest mistake you made with this.

Jesus the steps people take for the LGBT community(mostly their white Knight protectors) is borderline insane.

Sad that now straight people are considered controversial the only way to have children is with a woman and the men in the picture.

Welcome to the 21st century where everyone gets offended by anything. My character is bi and I dont care. Depends on my mood.

We lived in some sad times this world is coming to an end
