Origins vs Odyssey: Graphics

[MAXTAC]

I gotta say, I just think Origins looks better. I loaded Origins back up, went to a few spots all over the map and came away feeling that it has the edge graphically over Odyssey.

I'm about 30 hours into Odyssey now and spent 90 hours on Origins, and immediately when I started Odyssey I felt it didn't look as good as I remembered Origins. Decided to see if I was just having some bias, (I do love Origins) but after revisiting Egypt I definitely feel the same way.

One other thing I noticed straight away and had confirmed when loading into Origins is that Alexios' character model (I didn't choose Kassandra) is so much smaller on-screen than Bayek is in Origins. I personally much prefer the more zoomed in camera in Origins than the one implemented in Odyssey.

This is not to say Odyssey doesn't look great, it does, and I am having a blast playing it.

I'm impressed by the scope of Odyssey, and definitely looking forward to the ongoing experience Ubisoft have promised with the season pass etc as I bought the Ultimate Edition.

I disagree. Especially characters faces are better in Odessey

I don't really consider camera positioning to be graphic related.

There are things I like better in Origins, though graphics isn't one of them, though honeslty the difference is minor.

[Grubbs008]

If they could fix the optimizations needed, and fix the LOD texture popping, then it will be better.

You can set the FOV in options

Estetically i was more appealing i think. With more colors and egyptian fauna and sun and swamps and rivers. And the contrast of the desert. The temples and other structures were more impressive and painted more colorful and gold was use more. And also there must have been more npcs with more actions and movement, them building or deconstructing structures etc.

But graphically i dont see much of a difference. I feel odyssey lacks there. It sometimes feels less dynamic than origins.

I can see your point. Some things seem more detailed in Oddysey, such as character movements and facial expressions. But other details seem to be missing, like some of the water effects and other minor details.

[Starcut83]

I feel like if they took some things from Odessey and some things from Orgins and combined them while expanding on things they would have an amazing game. Like someone said the detail level was better in orgins, I also think some of the combat was better in terms of abilities like slow-mo bow aiming while jumping and the jump attack from above an enemy. Also the armor looks 100% better in Origins, I know part of that is because theres more mixing of armor in Odessey but even then I still think the armors look cooler in Origins even when you have a full legendary set in Odessey it's just not as appealing. Though Odessey's combat is much more fluid overall.

i noticed this too, Origins does have the edge graphically

I feel like it is not a simple either/or comparison Remember that Origins is large expanses of desert while origins has a lot more flora and fauna throughout the world.

So the may have had to scale back some details for the additional rendering the more dense landscape and cities.

I think they both look fine.

I found origins graphics to be way superior to odissey, at least in my rig. I've bought odissey on ps4 pro, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics, then downloaded pirate version on pc for comparison and it is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ as well, so I didnt even play it, altought the game seems more fun than origins.

[Julio Brutal]

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the loading times on ps4 are horrible, even when talking to a npc you have loading times.

[kegomatix]

I don't think it's matter of graphical superiority, but I do feel that Origins is a more beautiful game just because the environments and monuments. I was constantly blown away by the scenery.

I wish they'd attach the Origins map to Odyssey so we could sail SW and exit the Odyssey map and enter into Origins. :D

Don't forget the water with the waves and swells. Also, the under water graphics. These are far more demanding graphically than plain boring desert sand.
I found traveling in the bost over the swells kind of cool.

You definitely have to bring the FOV out a bit on Origins to get a better comparison, but in addition to thoughts stated above, at certain times late in the day & near sunset, the lighting effects even off of small stones on the 'roads' are imho quite quasi realistic. Definitely a notch above Origins. I am playing on a mix of high / ultra settings at 1440p so that does sharpen things a bit.

I do think character faces are more natural looking in Odyssey, but I predominantly play as Kassandra. Both are great looking game worlds for sure though.

[Ezio ッ]

about graphics, yes. i agreed.
about camera character? it is same as odyssey, if you know how well to setting FOV.

[Yoda Halfpint]

it depends on ur hardware. origins is nvidia optmised and odysseys rizen optimised (AMD) and it shows you in the splash screen which is which.
