How big are the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey zone? Because they’re saying a planet is about the size of two or three zones in that game.
Not really too much of a surprise that they’re handcrafted areas. It essentially sounds like a space themed (Star Wars) version of what other games like Skies of Arcadia, Beyond Good & Evil, Black Flag have done...but with better transitions between the land sections and the ship sections. Having handcrafted planet zones doesn’t seem unbelievable, especially if there’s like 6 to 10 of them.

Given how much it looks like they’re drawing on Metal Gear Solid 4 and 5, hopefully they just have you using binoculars (just like Luke Skywalker in Star Wars) to manually mark locations as opposed to doing Assassin’s Creed towers.

Not only some sites:

I guess it's time to move it to GRPG.

The gigantic map of AC:O Hellas was divided into 39 regions (according to IGN: https://www.ign.com/wikis/assassins-creed-odyssey/Regions ). Individually they weren't too vast, usually incorporated a decent-sized city and a few villages. Probably each was larger than the entire map of Gothic 1
As much as Ubisoft deserves all the usual flak that it gets, Massive is a stand-out studio that I believe can deliver a great Star Wars game here. It's certainly a welcoming contrast to the wall-running and lightsaber waggling Jedi series I'd say. Maybe, just maybe.

Why is Ubisoft Delaying a Large Game?

This is going to be such a trashfire when released.

Relax. It will never be released.
Story trailer coming on April 9th.

How the fuck does Debra Wilson keep getting such a major role in every single AAA game? Is it true she's the only black woman in motion capture?

Debra Wilson?

In the thumbnail, right under the alien on the shoulder at top.

I wonder if she's even supposed to be the same character, or if they have that tiny an actor poll.

She's got a really impressive and rich voice IMO, much moreso than other stock voice actors like Nolan North and Liam O'Brien (who seem to have made careers out of sounding generic as hell). She tends not to half-ass it as much as some other career VAs, even when she turns in a mid performance in a forgettable game she usually puts at least a bit of effort in. Also IMO she's more versatile than the previous go-to black woman, Cree Summer. Summer was/is a fantastic voice actor but she has such a unique voice that you could always tell it was her (like, compare Tandi in Fallout 1 and Lynette in Fallout 2 and you can tell it's the same actor even though she's changed her entire tone and cadence). Meanwhile Wilson can get two roles in the same game and you'd have to really strain to tell it's her doing both parts - I played Star Trek Resurgence recently and I could tell it was her doing the CMO since she used her own voice but she also does an alien queen and I didn't even catch it.
Wilson probably is eating up roles that could be going to other actors, but that just seems to be how voice acting works. If I have to hear Yuri fucking Lowenthal in anything ever again I'm going to smash something.

Fuck Yuri Lowenthal. Somehow this god forsaken man is in everything.
Never gonna get sick of Debra's voice.

She acts as a representative of the Alien minority.
Wow, they really uglied her up for that model. I don't think I've seen her since MadTV, but holy shit that's horrible. By the way, she was fantastic on MadTV. I still don't understand why SNL is still on the air and MadTV isn't. SNL hasn't been funny since they fired Norm MacDonald, and he's had time to die of cancer since then.
But yeah, that model is horrible. It's like they did a 3D capture of Debra Wilson then went nuts on the "Fish" slider.

No, that's just the way she is.
