This is SECONDS before I had the chance to post what I'd typed in a box:



:D

Suffice to say, god I agree!


Edit: jesus, it's even the same url to the image. Scary! :O

Holy cow... and I didn't think Altair's design could be beaten. Well, it has.

And, in a weird way, it does have that Italian 17th century vibe about it.

How many Assassin's Creeds are there planned to be?

How many Assassin's Creeds are there planned to be?

sooner or later tho, the skills and memories of altair, ezio and whoever else they introduce will bleed into desmod, at which point you'll be a modern day assassin

im guessing trilogy (what game isnt these days) but the premis alows for as many games as they like i guess. sooner or later tho, the skills and memories of altair, ezio and whoever else they introduce will bleed into desmod, at which point you'll be a modern day assassin, but will you get a cool modern take on the altair outfit by that time or will you just remain average looking like he did in AC1

Yeah it's weird how they put so much effort into the parkour stuff then made guards that couldn't chase you for shit. You turn a corner in that game and hop into hay and they're like OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE THE EARTH DEVOURED HIM!

They need to get rid of the easy escapes. Force the player to actually outrun the guards instead of hiding until they lose interest.

I think someone somewhere said that there's a hugely different mission structure now though so I think that part is covered. E3 will surely bring more insight.

Edit: err, I responded to alimo but it says korndog. Hrm. :O

"Sooo I'm looking at the new Game Informer right now, and it tells a few thing but only has one new image, the one we already have, the 5th one.

- You'll have a ton of new weapons to choose from including an axe, a hammer, a mace, a spear, 2 different sword types, a spear axe thing, and 2 smaller blades
- You CAN swim
- Da Vincis workshop is in the game
- Locations include Saint Marks Basilica, The Grand Canal, The Little Canal, and the Rialto bridge.
- The game opens in 1476, Altair is from 1191
- So you do indeed play as a new ancestor of Altair / Desmond
-You will see the countryside of Tuscany
- The "Auditore" family is mentioned
- The main characters name is Ezio Auditore de Firenze
- He is a nobleman of Florence
- Big characters are in the game including Machiavelli, Caterina Sofrza, and Lorenzo de Medici
- YOU DO INDEED FLY AND THERES A PICTURE OF IT.
and thats just what I got from the pictures. I'll let you know more details as I read more.
- Game will feature a new notoriety system that governs how enemy soldiers and people will treat you.
- You can disarm enemies and use their own weapons against them this time.
- each weapon has a special move.
- 16 unique mission types.
- No more ease dropping or pick pocketing missions.
- If you get beat up to much you will need to see a street side doctor to regain ful strength.
- Hidden objects (like flags in the first one) are there to uncover but this time if you track them down you will get in-game bonuses that make it worth your time.
- Items include, flags, statues, and gold coins and more that isnt mentioned.
- New enemy types with unique attitudes and weaknesses are present in the game. Archers are mentioned, as well as elite enemies, dagger wielders, "Brutish" armored troops with heavy armor and 2 handed swords and axes, and an intelligent halberd enemy will probe hiding places with their weapons if they think you're near by.
- While hiding in a hay bail you can assassinate people this time, but it may expose your position.
- You can still climb towers and ride horses
- The Lorendo de Medici assassination is in the game.
- There is now a night and day sequence in the game.
- 240 people are working on this title."

I think the last AC will be in present, and if they given Altair and Ezio a awesome design, they will figure something out for the modern one (example: Prototype).



That is a nice idea, I like it.

I hope they show much more of what is going on in the modern world, we didn't get much info about it in AC1, unless they are gonna go all out on the last AC.

Do u think Desmond will be the character of the 2nd game ?? I seriously doubt that. I think we will be seeing a completely new character. Desmond had the DNA of his ancestors from the crusades period. He cant have the DNA traces from another Era given that his ancestors are from the crusades region.

desmond will be in AC2, i can almost guarentee that. it's be stupid to remove him since he's the integral thing linking everything together. yes, he had ancestors from the crusades period (altair), but that doesnt mean he cant have ancestors in DeVinci's time. i think ezio is a decendant of altair. and desmond, is a decendent of ezio, and thus altair. skills from each game will end with desmond, and he will become the final games main character.

I think KORNdog's right in what he's saying.

And alimokrane, that information all sounds awesome. One thing that sticks out for me is the huge variety of weapons at your disposal - that was slightly lacking from the first game. And of course the fact that there'll be no more repetitive missions is very important.

Not only this, but there will no longer be cinematics in the game. Instead they will be moving towards more quick-time event cut scenes in the game. This is to keep the gamer engaged in the crucial gameplay/story moments. This is a great step to keep the gameplay more engaging than it was in the past game.
