[FakePlasticTrees]

Sweet!

[dei]

I heard some cool things about it, like when you climb a wall or shove someone, anyone that's nearby will gather around and watch you and other things.

[Tillius]

Looks awesome.

Can't wait.

[British Kid]

i've been excited about this game ever since it was first announced in 2005.

i can't wait to play it.

[Kif]

If it runs smoothly and plays as good as they say it will, this will be a contender for GOTY.

[DanD]

that looks pretty badass

i wonder how easy it is to grasp the gameplay

[Brewing Up With]

Destined to be a great game. It looks almost like the perfect action game.

[Holyed]

Yeah, I was blown away by the in-game trailers, and i'm probably going to finally get myself an Xbox 360 for this.

The only thing i'm worried about, is the storyline/what actually is avaliable to do/how free roaming are the three 'stupidly huge' cities?

They seem to have focussed all the intention on the gameplay, which to be fair looks far better than any other game of this type i've seen before, but nothing else?

I know the basic storyline, but apparently it really shifts directions later in the game. Should be interesting to see what it is.

As far as free roaming goes, if you can touch it, you can climb it. I think this will be buggy as hell, but that's expected.

Yeah, hopefully it won't be a let-down in that department.

I've just had the problem with some games, that although the innovative gameplay was there, once you had got to grips with it and pushed it, the actual game became tedious to actually complete and the gameplay etc wasn't really of interest anymore.

Hopefully this won't happen, as this looks bloody awesome.

[FakePlasticTrees]

Well, hopefully the devs worked out most of the bugs/glitches because nothing can ruin a game like a glitch. :I

[Akira]

The first demo I saw blew me away. I am going to have to find a friend with a 360 to play it with.

[Holyed]

Well, hopefully the devs worked out most of the bugs/glitches because nothing can ruin a game like a glitch. :I

Yeah, four years working on just the gameplay and graphics should
hopefully mean things are smoothed out. The woman talking over one of the in-game trailers did say that it was just being refined. Like the guy's leg goes right through the horse at the beginning.

[Holyed]

On a second look...maybe it doesn't, but still, hopefully it'll be all fine.

[gillygan]

it sounds really interesting look at this

News has also circulated about a "sci-fi twist", due to information from developer interviews, and some effects visible in trailers of the game. It is theorized that the historical setting may be a simulation, or perhaps some sort of genetic memory, for purposes of training or other gain, being undertaken by an unknown group in the present or near future. During a trailer shown at E3, the screen would glitch and go fuzzy at times, and at one point where Altaïr is killed, the screen fades to black and then shows a head's up display with the words "computer offline" with a woman in a labcoat behind the display. Trailers shown at E3 07 reveal further evidence of this, such as a futuristic looking health bar, effects resembling readouts surrounding locked-on enemies and a rather lengthy conversation with a dying enemy surrounded by a white background. Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed will be part of a trilogy, and has also stated that one or both of the sequels may have a futuristic setting.

[drehet]

what's the release date for this game?

[gillygan]

november 13 i think

[jrowa001]

i'm going to get this for my girlfriend's youngest brother so when i come over i can play it on his 360. or i will wait until next year when i hopefully get a ps3

[AlienEater]

looks awesome

[Kif]

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26581.html

This mission looks really cool (It's HD btw).

[dei]

Thanks for the link, Kif.

[StreetlightRock]

The trailers for this have looked gorgeous, i can't wait.

[bradc1988]

Yeah hopefully it's not gay, but I have a feeling I'll be disappointed.

[-Listy-]

Can't wait, looks amazing.

[Shadows]

The one mission I've seen (Kif's link) looked absolutely incredible. I cannot wait to get this game. Not sure if I should go the 360 or PS3 route, though.

[Tillius]

God damn.

My jaw dropped when he used that guy to shield himself from the arrow.

[Iscariot]

I heard some cool things about it, like when you climb a wall or shove someone, anyone that's nearby will gather around and watch you and other things.

That isn't anything new. :\

EDIT: Trailer looks cool though.

[FakePlasticTrees]

This game is going to be sweet.

[team_racket]

apparently the control setup for the pc version is causing problems. either way, i will still probably get it for 360.

[dei]

That isn't anything new. :\

EDIT: Trailer looks cool though.

It's new to me. I'm not much of a gamer. :)

[Cocaine]

This + Mass Effect = Me being busy in November

[Iscariot]

It's new to me. I'm not much of a gamer. :)

It's all gravy I was just saying.

On a lighter note this game may persuade me to waste my money on a 360.

[-Listy-]

Me also..

[wartree]

I heard some cool things about it, like when you climb a wall or shove someone, anyone that's nearby will gather around and watch you and other things.

lol i lulz for a while, you sounded geek

[Wyko]

Looks awesome, though I'll have to wait for the PC version.

[RetiredAt21]

I don't know whether to get this for the 360 or the PS3...

[drehet]

360 has achievements to boost your gamerscore

[FakePlasticTrees]

And gamerscores are utterly useless, my most humblest of opinions. :I

[south_of_heaven 11]

*Bump*

Anyone played this yet? I tested it out a little bit on my friends 360 and it was pretty awesome. Don't know whether to pick this up tomorrow or the new Ratchet and Clank game...

[simplephotographinthesun]

the leaps of faith were ridiculous. so far, this game has exceeded my expectations (but then again, i've been reduced to constant FPS games for the past few months so this is a nice change).

[thomas is fast]

This makes me want a PS3 or 360 really bad.
:(

[The Transporter 2]

to south of heaven: Haven't played this yet, but R&C is pretty fun.

[south_of_heaven 11]

Well, I couldn't decide, so I did the right thing and bought them both :D

[Flynn]

I've heard a lot about this game, both good and bad. The bad was true. Assassins Creed is one of the most overrated games this year by a landslide (tied with Halo 3). You're an assassin, but all the missions include you being seen by guards and escaping like some sort of rookie, no matter what you do in the missions. There's literally no way to take down an assassination target like it's meant to be in this sloppy game. I've killed 4 enemy targets without being seen once, and yet I still haven't completed the "Blade in the Crowd" achievement, which states "Kill one of your enemy targets like a true assassin".

Building climbing is fun though, but gets old fast, as do the SAME missions in all 3 cities. The concept is great, but the game-play is severely out of proportion. The game is fun for about 12 hours, and not even hardly worth playing even for the achievements.

[Cocaine]

I plan on getting it used or at a discounted price. I want to play it. I just don't want to pay full price.

[Luc214]

It comes out in Feb for PC. I'll be building my new rig around then so I'll definitely check it out.

I hope there's new content added for the PC version like there was for Gears of War.

[Cocaine]

3rd person adventure games don't really work as well on a PC. You'd need to use a controller I'd think. That's one section that has consoles beating PCs.

[Luc214]

If you buy a controller they work just fine. :\

I'm getting an Xbox 360 controller with my PC.

[AB/CD]

this game was a good idea I just feel they promised more than they gave.

It's not interactive enough you just hold 2 buttons in and run to escape people easy. Te crowd control isn't great hold in B while theres no1 around and he pushes the air.

They said there were side missions outside of the cities you could do to get better equipment but there wasn't it was just the main missions.

fighting was good ill give it that. The story is great im looking forward to the next one. Just too many flaws in this game though to make me want to play it again and again like prince of persia or splinter cell did. ubisoft dissapoint me for the first time.

[MoonlightBleeding]

Absolutely terrible and a massive letdown. The beginning takes FOREVER to get through (Storyline and Intro) before including about 75% of storylines and 25% of gameplay. The game has lame gameplay, it's very repetitive, almost impossible to play through a mission successfully without looking like a complete n00b, the storyline is whacked out to the extreme, and it just is piss poor.

Thanks a lot Ubisoft.

I promptly returned it to GameStop afterwards.

Amen.

[AB/CD]

actually that's another good point I never thought of. The missions start out you can assassinate them I think until the 4th and then you get spotted or else people go mad in the case of one and he runs off. This dissappointed me because it caused me to have to go into combat and dodge guards to FIGHT the person im supposed to be ASSASSINATING.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I know what you mean. It pissed me off that I had to fight the gaurds and the targets at the same time. The only target that I didn't have to fight was that kraut Sibrand in his ship.

[Zakath]

You mean after the 4th or total?

[beans]

this game is freaking beautiful. and a very fun expierence.

[FakePlasticTrees]

You mean after the 4th or total?


I had to fight all the targets and gaurds, with the exception being Sibrand.

[south_of_heaven 11]

I never really felt like an assassin in this game, just another combat goon :\

[beans]

when you're doing the low profile kills and stuff i thought it was pretty cool.

[Zakath]

I had to fight all the targets and gaurds, with the exception being Sibrand.

tbqfh you should stick to first person shooters and not blame the game for how badly you suck at being stealthy

I stealth'd the first 4, and I even managed to stealth a couple after it got hard except the ones where it was completely impossible (like the guy burning books, etc)

[jrowa001]

since i got a ps3 for xmas i will be getting this very very soon

[illpressureurhinges1]

Really good game, but the only downfall for it is that it gets repetitive really quickly. Still a pretty good game though.

[beans]

yeah it does get repetitive, but i love how each city has its own feel. like acre feels like the ridley scott movie, kingdom of heaven. i love that movie so i love that idea and i think they pulled the gameplay off really well.

[illpressureurhinges1]

It gets kinda boring have to get all the viewpoints and save all the citizens for every city though...

[FakePlasticTrees]

Its very boring.

After the third mission, I got bored with the game.

[Cocaine]

If I can get it for 30$ or under I'm still interested in playing it. I just wont pay 59.99.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Its very boring.

After the third mission, I got bored with the game.

Honestly. The only reason I kept playing was because there was nothing else to play.

And to Cocaine, yes, its not worth $59.99. Wait and get it used or something.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I bought into the hype and bought the game the day it came out. I ended up getting the LE one yet, so that cost me a bit more.

[Zakath]

Admit it, you bought it because Jade produced it! :lol:

[FakePlasticTrees]

:upset:


The hype got to me as well!

[DanD]

it's disappointing to hear that this game sucks

[illpressureurhinges1]

Well it doesn't suck. It's really fun to play at first and its got some really good graphics, but once you've done like 3 or 4 missions, it gets old in a hurry.

[Zakath]

It's not even that bad after the first few missions, unless you are going for all achievement points. You only have to do 3 side mission things before each assassination, so you can mix them up a little and they are quick to do.

[illpressureurhinges1]

But it's hard to find the side missions unless you get all the view points.

[Cocaine]

I just heard that it's a solid game, a solid engine with not nearly enough actual gameplay to keep it interesting. I read that it felt like sort of a throwaway game made only to prepare for a supposed inevitable sequel.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Almost every mission is the same. You have to do the same thing every time, from picket pocketing someone to eavesdropping, and the only time its any different is the actual assassination. And even then, the person you have to kill is surrounded by like 20 of their guards so one little slip up and you have to fend off 20 people while trying to get to one guy.

[FakePlasticTrees]

Pffft, I've had to fight all the gaurds for every target save one.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Pffft, I've had to fight all the gaurds for every target save one.

Same here. The thing that pisses me off is when you get noticed by the guards and you try to run away, then you look back and there are like 15 chasing after you. It's so hard to escape from all of them.

[beans]

i know, it always tells you to break thier 'line of sight' but that seems albost impossible. It does get really monotonous though, definetly.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I don't run, I stand and fight.

[beans]

i know thats what you end up having to do. lol i just get frustrated.

[illpressureurhinges1]

i know thats what you end up having to do. lol i just get frustrated.

Yah but whatever. It's stll pretty fun at times. I like the counter kills when ur fighting people.

[Cocaine]

Yah but whatever. It's stll pretty fun at times. I like the counter kills when ur fighting people.

oh hell yeah, those are some sick sword moves, love the one where he almosts severs that dudes arm haha

[illpressureurhinges1]

The one where it looks like he's going to cut the guys head off is pretty cool too.

[beans]

The one where it looks like he's going to cut the guys head off is pretty cool too.

haha hell yeah sick sh*t what do you think of the whole sci-fi twist in the game?

[ZapatoDiablo]

Did anyone figure out any of the codes at the end of the game?

[illpressureurhinges1]

haha hell yeah sick sh*t what do you think of the whole sci-fi twist in the game?

I don't know. It's kinda weird, and I'm not done with it, so I'm not sure how it ends. But it seems really weird and kinda cheesy to me.

[beans]

I don't know. It's kinda weird, and I'm not done with it, so I'm not sure how it ends. But it seems really weird and kinda cheesy to me.

same here the first thing i thought when i knew what it was i thought it was kinda cheesy
but its something i have yet to see so its cool in that respect

[illpressureurhinges1]

I don't really understand it too well, but I'm sure I will when I get further into the game. Just seems like a weird concept.

[beans]

it is, but like i said it does add an element to the game that i have yet to see since or before this game. so ill give em that

[ed_stones_dead]

Its very boring.

After the third mission, I got bored with the game.

Same.
The free running is pretty cool, but the missions need more variaton. As soon as you realise there's a minimum amount of tasks to do there's no reason to do anything but the minimum.

Hopefully the sequels will keep the free running but add some variation.

[illpressureurhinges1]

So I'm guessing at the end, they leave it open for sequels since people keep talking about them?

[beans]

basically

[ed_stones_dead]

I haven't finished the game yet. I can't really be bothered tbh. I read that it was gonna be a series.
It would be cool if it was similar sort of thing, assassin,stealthy stuff etc, but set in a different time. More modern maybe.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I hope to God that the devs make the next one better.

[beans]

I haven't finished the game yet. I can't really be bothered tbh. I read that it was gonna be a series.

i enjoyed the medival time theme, especially the town of acre it made me feel like i was in the movie Kingdom of Heaven, and i loved that movie

[illpressureurhinges1]

I think it would be a little harder to seem realistic if it was more modern. You couldn't go around sword fighting with people these days... Unless of course they made it with guns instead of swords and knives.

[FakePlasticTrees]

And then it would suck.

[beans]

exactly!

[illpressureurhinges1]

So I think sticking with the Medieval thing would be good, they just need to not make it so repititious.

[silicon71]

I just bought this game today and so far it's really fun. I am a big fan of ubisoft, the game company that makes this. It reminds me of the Prince of Persia series, which were also very fun.

[beans]

just wait man, the uniqueness of it will wear off in a weeks time. But the visuals will stay amazing.

[ed_stones_dead]

The graphics are amazing i must say. i play the 360 version but i don't know what it looks like on PS3. It's awesome just standing on top of a building and looking out over the city.

[beans]

i know, the graphics are amazing, and the seemless running gameplay is amazing

[illpressureurhinges1]

The graphics are amazing i must say. i play the 360 version but i don't know what it looks like on PS3. It's awesome just standing on top of a building and looking out over the city.

Yah. I have XBOX 360 too. Graphics= amazing! I travel by rooftop usually just so I can see all the great graphics of the city.

[ZapatoDiablo]

I travel by rooftop because there are less guards.

[illpressureurhinges1]

I travel by rooftop because there are less guards.

Well that's a good reason too. But the view is cool. And it's fun throwing guards off the roofs.

[ZapatoDiablo]

God by the end of the game I had to have the Blend button down all the ****ing time because the guards would always be suspicious of me.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Once you finish like one mission, there's never a time when they aren't suspicious of you. I'm over the Blend button, I usually just run away, jump on the roof, and hide in the little box things until the stop being suspicious.

[ZapatoDiablo]

Haha the roof gardens or whatever. Sometimes I fight all the guards and by the time I kill like 10 of them the last few run away scared.

[ed_stones_dead]

God by the end of the game I had to have the Blend button down all the ****ing time because the guards would always be suspicious of me.


haha...after assassinations they are soo suspicious. One time i was really close to the bureau and was heading up a ladder. A guard was coming down the same ladder and kicked me in the head, so i fell.
Then all hell broke loose!
It wasn't even my fault:confused:

[beans]

lol thats funny

[Berner]

Haha the roof gardens or whatever. Sometimes I fight all the guards and by the time I kill like 10 of them the last few run away scared.

I chase those assholes down and run my arm blade into their neck for being pussies.

[beans]

I chase those assholes down and run my arm blade into their neck for being pussies.

i live by these words lol

[FakePlasticTrees]

Theres nothing finer that killing a beggar, especially if you can toss one into the canal in Jerusalem.

[Poet]

Theres nothing finer that killing a beggar, especially if you can toss one into the canal in Jerusalem.

LOL still haven't tried that one yet.

[illpressureurhinges1]

I chase those assholes down and run my arm blade into their neck for being pussies.

Same here. I hate when they run! Gotta make them pay for getting in my way.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Has anyone beat this game? Because I'm at the part where you have to beat your master or whatever, and I cannot do it. Any hints?

[ZapatoDiablo]

Umm follow that yellow orb or whatever.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Yah. But it like drains your life and if he hits you once you start all over...

[FakePlasticTrees]

Avoid his attacks, if you can. Even if he hits you whilst you're blocking, he'll still damage you.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Its so damn hard. You know how many times you have to hit him before it ends?

[FakePlasticTrees]

No, but it took me 7 attempts before I finally beat him.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Ok. I've already tried like 8 times and I'm over it. It's so frustrating.

[ed_stones_dead]

I now have no motivation to finish this game..

[illpressureurhinges1]

Yah. The end part is ****ing impossible.

[Berner]

You must suck because I did it on the first try.

[jpj]

Yea, so did I. I didn't find any parts of the game too challenging.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Well thats the only part I find challenging. Everytime I block him, he hits my sword away and kills me. A$$hole...

[Berner]

Well thats the only part I find challenging. Everytime I block him, he hits my sword away and kills me. A$$hole...

It's called dodging and not just blocking.

[illpressureurhinges1]

I never really mastered that. I usually just block and counter.

[ed_stones_dead]

I knew that master guy was an a-hole.

Reaaaaallly can't be bothered to play this anymore now that i know you have to fight him.

[illpressureurhinges1]

Finally! After about 10 tries, I beat him. Took damn long enough. And yah, there will be a sequel...

[beans]

Finally! After about 10 tries, I beat him. Took damn long enough. And yah, there will be a sequel...

yeah they left that wide open for another one

[illpressureurhinges1]

Yup. Anyone know how long it'll be before the sequel comes out? Anyone heard anything?

[beans]

they havnt really released anything as far as i know. but im sure they'll be pretty hush hush about it for at least a little while

[illpressureurhinges1]

Yah. Probably. Because now I'm interested to see where this goes.

[beans]

me too

[Berner]

Go use your eagle vision in the room where you sleep after you're out of the animus at the end. You'll get 50 gamer points.

[illpressureurhinges1]

So once you've done all this, can you go back and just wonder the streets and do all the other little things like view points and find flags?

[Berner]

Yeah that's what I've been working on lately. I've got about a third of all the flags, a third of the templars, and I am also working on finishing every investigation for each assassination.

[beans]

yeah thats about all you can do after you beat the game its still fun to play, just not in long sittings lol

[illpressureurhinges1]

Yah. I'll have to get on that.
