Poll: Assassin's Creed Revelations out tomorrow.

[wooty]

Got it on pre-order and picking it up in the morning.

Trading in Skyrim for it, not even bothering to finish it, which is a first for me.

 

[ElPatron]

Bleh, I've only seen one good Literal trailer parody, and that was for Assassins Creed: Brotherhood.

I am not a fan of Tobuscus but the Dead Space 2 trailer was very well done.

 

[Kopikatsu]

I don't know, I kinda had a falling out with the Assassin's Creed series after they announced that this was going to be yet another game starring Ezio.

A cool character and all, but with a game like Assassin's Creed that literally has History as a setting, I'm still rather disappointed that they won't try some new time period.

Agreed. I was kinda let down when I heard about Brotherhood, and very dissapointed when I heard about Revelations. I'm actually hoping/looking forward to Seeing him die, despite the fact that I love the character. We need confirmation ad proof that he's dead (nothing ambiguous where he "disappears" and is presumed dead. A decent stab through the heart, or death of old age would be good) before I let my hopes get too high about the next game.

Yeah I agree. He deserves to go down fighting in a battle or something, no cheesy 'he disappeared' crap. This is definitely the last one with Ezio and Altair though which is good.

Considering how old Ezio is in Revelations, and the fact that when he has a kid, Desmond will start following the kid instead, I doubt we'll see much of Ezio after this. Hell, he might even vanish halfway through the game and you have to follow a completely new ancestor for the rest of the game.

Or it just defaults back to Altair for some reason. Whichever.

Edit: I appreciate that Altair is super badass, but MUST we keep playing as him/Ezio? I'd like someone new. Preferably someone female. Then we could get cool acrobatic swordplay...

 

[ResonanceGames]

Man, AssRev is out already? I've been meaning to play the last two for a long time. Stupid annual franchises and their ability to increase my game pile.

I don't think it'll involve anything with his kid/s. The developers said that Desmond is the link between several assassin bloodlines so the next game will probably be a completely different assassin that hasn't even heard of Ezio and Altair. I think I read somewhere that you play as Altair through parts of the game but it's mostly Ezio and occasionally Desmond. Lots of people have been asking for a female assassin next so it hopefully will be.

I don't think it will either, that's why I said mentioned the following a completely new ancestor...

When I said 'Desmond will start following the kid instead', I didn't mean to imply that you would play as Ezio's kid. Just that he would go further down the DNA chain to someone else. That's how it worked with Altair.

 

[Matt Oliver]

Preordered, game have taken the money and it was shipped last thursday... still havn't got it
if it doesn't turn up tomorrow I don't know what I'll do!

Oh and the hook blade is still a blade, the hook being about half way down the blade, he uses it to hook on to ropes strung between roof tops, and to climb quicker.

I love ur avatar can u share the image please?

Whilst I admit that a female protag is needed in the franchise, I have to say that you should be able to choose between genders for a protagonist. In the next game, for example, you might follow two Assassins, one male, the other female, but you'd get to pick which one you played. I'd love to see that.

As for other Assassins in general, maybe in a future game, we'll get to play as Nicolai.

...I have even less of an idea how the whole DNA memory thing works now.

 

[Project_Xii]

Yup! Well actually it's out today in Australia, so I'm picking it up in about 3 hours.

I started off hating Assassin's Creed, then started liking it after Brotherhood. BH was an excellent game, and pretty much exactly what I wanted out of an AC game, so I have a lot of faith in Revelations. Considering how many teams they had working on the thing.

Also yes, thank god, finally something other then Skyrim. Already sick of hearing about it.

That video should help you understand it better. It makes sense when it's all explained.

 

[natster43]

I am getting it tonight at midnight. I am so hyped for it. Woo Ass Creed!

However, I do take issue with the "Desmond's Story" side missions. Yes, I like the extra character background, but the choice of presenting it via a first-person physics puzzle platformer with iffy controls was a definite misstep.

Spoiler

Please spoiler your goddamn spoilers. I know you didn't really spoil any story stuff, but that was still spoilers.

OT:
Preordered and I'm totally excited. The only worry I have is that I'll be as easy as Brotherhood. 2 was on the easy side, but I never even bought armour in Brotherhood, I never needed it. I think that I only ever died in combat once, the rest was all falling off of buildings, which should probably happen less now with the extended grab reach of the hookblade.

PS, people are talking about wanting to see ezio have a glorious final stand death in revelations. Sorry, but that simply can't happen in-game. The animus doesn't work that way. We already saw that with Altair in 2, it stopped following him when his child was conceived. Besides, Embers takes place after revelations. Chances are he'll die in that.

While that is a good idea I'm not sure if it would suit the game. How would you see that working?

Well, I could think of a few ways in which the female campaign would be different...

But in all seriousness, it would really be just the same campaign, maybe a bit like the concept in "Army of Two" (Though hopefully MUCH more well done) where it's the same game, but depending on which character you picked, the voice acting and character model of the NPC currently preforming a double-assassination with you are a bit different.

It would also open the game up to Split-Screen or System Link Co-op on the 360, and PSN, XBox Live, and internet Co-op on those respective systems, with people on your friends list (because if you just do it with random people from the internet, no one will get anywhere.), which is something I think could really add to gameplay. I personally have many friends who can't get the game because they don't have a 360, or for other reasons, who would love to be able to experience the game through a co-op environment.

 

[BleedingPride]

i'm kind of disappointed with the whole "ill get around to it" group of people. because of brotherhood's mediocre story (no disrespect AC is my favorite game series of all time) they think this one wont be very engaging but the fact is thats simply not true.

That actually sounds pretty good. The campaign would be slightly different to avoid seeming too repetitive though, maybe each assassin has their own way of getting things done or something.

 

[Zorak the Mantis]

I'm stoked for Revelations... but I haven't completed Skyrim yet

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

Too many games coming out on the 15th!

I've never been a huge fan of the AC games, but I certainly see why people do like them. One of my best friends is a big fan of the series and he's upset that it's coming out the same day as Saints Row and forcing him to choose.

I'll either be in Steelport or Skyrim. Or maybe Installation 04. But have fun in Constantinople if that's your thing.
