Assassin's Creed

ArKaiN · 09-24-2007, 4:09 PM

Okay, first the obligatory wiki link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_creed
And the fucking awesome trailer:
http://news.filefront.com/new-assass...m-ubiday-2007/
In a nutshell, this is my dream come true.
You're a medieval hitman. You go around a completely interactive city, beautifully modeled in 3d, and you kill your targets as fast as you can, then you vanish. It has elements of the newer Prince of Persia games, MGS, Thief and Oblivion.
And get this: it's based on actual history. The weaponry and the city(Jerusalem) are accurate, the targets are actual people that died(although not all were assassinated).

This game looks fucking sweet, I'm looking forward to this because I just wanna run around the city and stab peeps.

Maybe we get to assassinate a lawyer who thinks video games kill people. Edit: /sarcasm ffs

This will literally be the best game ever. I bought my Xbox 360 specifically to play this and Gears of War originally. I just reserved it a couple days ago, and I'm eagerly counting down the days until it comes out. What intrigues me the most about it, and what will probably either make or break it as the best game of 2007, is the new control scheme. Forget everything you knew about these lame little attack buttons or jump buttons. In Assassin's Creed, the buttons correspond to parts of the character's body. The game uses its own discretion to decide what action to take when you press one of those buttons in the presence of an interactive item. Run towards a low wall and press the leg button, and you'll hurdle it. Press the arms button, you'll vault it. Things like that will, I believe, make this a dynamic and interesting game worthy of way more hype than it's gotten.

One of the major reasons I'm getting a 360.

The live E3 gave me a few speculations, though the game wasn't complete, I'm sure this will be awesome.

hardcoresk8r69 · 09-24-2007, 5:02 PM

The game is actually complete and they are just working out all the bugs.

So it's safe to say that it will make it's November release. I'm definitely pre-ordering it. I'll get it for the PS3 instead of 360.

PshSam · 09-24-2007, 5:21 PM

One of the most anticipated games by me. Since i don't have an Xbox and don't plan on getting one, my friend will buy it and many good times will be had.

Videogames weren't invented then, you dumbass.

+It looks like a Prince of Persia spin-off, which is cool because that series was really starting to suck.

Jamez5000 · 09-24-2007, 6:31 PM

I've been following it for awhile, Gametrailers.com is where it's at...I've watched all the HDvids so many times and the best is watching the chase video with him jumping from buildings and running across the poles...the fighting looks stale though (based on an early video) so I hope they tweaked it out by now. Can't wait :D

Jallen · 09-24-2007, 6:37 PM

I may get a next-gen and if I do, this game will be on my get list.

SlowCheetah · 09-24-2007, 6:39 PM

I hadn't heard of this game until now, but it actually looks pretty sweet. I have and Xbox 360 so ill probably get it for that. I don't think I'm gonna take the extra time to pre-order it though.

opn4bzns · 09-24-2007, 11:00 PM

Ah fuck, I didn't know the pc version came out later than the others. Damnit, it better not be a shitty port.

Jamez5000 · 09-25-2007, 12:50 AM

Aye, I'm waiting for PC too and I'm hoping the same exact thing....I doubt alot of next-gen games will slack on porting, and in my opinion a pretty big title would make sure it's quality. Most crappy ports aren't really that big a deal to begin with (look at Scarface for example)

Rainbird · 09-25-2007, 2:53 AM

I've been looking forward to this game for some time, it looks awesome ^.^
But I'm waiting for the PC version as well, the only thing that annoys me about it is that it's so close to the relase of Crysis (which I will be spending all my sparetime on, when it's released)

hzac · 09-25-2007, 3:57 AM

This is the only (insert genre of game here) I will ever buy. Greatest ever. It is seriously going to be epic.

Assassin · 09-25-2007, 10:02 AM

It's so awesome. I want to have it so hard. I've been waiting for it sinds June.

Derelict · 09-25-2007, 10:14 AM

This, NHL '08, and Halo 3 are the reasons I bought my Xbox360. I'm not really that into Gears. Best part about this game is you can interact with absolutely any part of the environment. You can jump on tables and climb up a crack in the wall, or run along a roof and use support beams to go from rooftop to rooftop.

Cristo · 09-25-2007, 11:14 AM

I've been following this game since forever and I'm soooooooo excited. God I can't wait, it looks absolutely amazing. And you enter three cities (not just Jerusalem but also Damascus and Acre) and do missions in them, apparently there are also a few smaller villages in the surrounding landscape with missions etc. in them.

I know, I'm gonna have to start saving to make it so I can get both. But I'm definitely getting AC before Crysis.

I mean Crysis has amazing ass graphics especially with DX10 but AC has new gameplay, which I have to check out.

Yea, I think I need to lay out my christmas wishes for this year. I'm still not sure if I should put AC on my wishlist, or just buy it (I'm looking forward to Crysis the most)

Cristo · 09-26-2007, 10:12 AM

Assassin's Creed > Crysis

Crysis has been done before, oh super soldier with a special power suit and you kill aliens? Wow.

Assassin's Creed completely new concept and gameplay.

G_Havoc · 09-26-2007, 10:26 AM

Crysis is not just about the storyline.

Crysis graphics are the best i have seen on any game ever!

http://maxygames.no.sapo.pt/Crysis.jpg

Playing the game for 5 minutes would be an amazing experience.

I_Smell · 09-26-2007, 10:43 AM

Never been done before? Assassin's Creed is Prince Of Persia 3.0.

THAT is why I'm making the choice I am ;)
And also the engine in general, amazing physics!

Minus all the magic bullshit, plus a lot more killing.
I see nothing wrong with that.

What he said. And stuff about the new gameplay.

I_Smell · 09-26-2007, 12:40 PM

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying if you like the look of this you might as well play Prine Of Persia.

ArKaiN · 09-26-2007, 12:47 PM

Or you could play a better version.
That's like saying "why play GTA4 when you can play San Andreas"

Thats true.
Assassins creed is going to be ten times better than Prince of persia without a doubt, The control system makes it better alone.

Not really because these games are in completely different series and the only thing they really have in common is the artistic style and the acrobatic moves.

Jamez5000 · 09-26-2007, 3:00 PM

I just wish there was more gameplay footage ...

It shows gameplay but you have to endure the annoying bitch talking.

Jamez5000 · 09-26-2007, 8:08 PM

yeah Gametrailers.com is my homepage at work...I've seen everyone video on their from Assassin's Creed and that is the only gameplay footage video really, seen it but as I mention, wish there were more :(

I do but at the same time dont, I love to play a game and see one surprise after another. It leaves a lot for us to imagine I guess but then that could lead to over-hyping.

Shagg · 09-26-2007, 8:51 PM

It's totally like Middle-East Hitman... which rocks.

junglebunny · 09-26-2007, 11:50 PM

First time I've heard of this game. I'll porbably get it.

Cristo · 09-27-2007, 3:53 AM

Shaggmuffin, that's exactly what I think.

It's like Agent 47 + Sandbox + Medieval surroundings and weaponry. It's going to be amazing.

Yeah except that clearly this game has more of an open scenary then Hitman; where you had to stay in one neighborhood or building at a time. So I'm going to freakin' love this game, SOOO much.

Oberlin · 09-27-2007, 7:14 AM

Since Prince of Persia is my favorite series of all time, this game has a place in my library at launch. I already have the collectors edition paid off so nothing shy of a nuclear holocaust can keep me from it. Small chance I might lose my job when it comes out.

What about a bite from a brown snake? Or contracting the ebola virus?

Souldrinker · 09-27-2007, 3:32 PM

Wow, this game looks fucking awesome. I'm not really into computer games, but if this comes out on the PC and you guys give it the thumbs on on that platform, I will definitely buy it.

The graphics look good, and from the sounds of it the gameplay will be fantastic.

On a side note, what's the deal with that Crysis game? Holy shit that looks awesome. Any shots of what the characters will look like in the game?
