Nifty. Originally ran into this through the CAD website though, and who doesn't love CAD?

As long as they don't announce that it'll be delayed, I'm happy.

Yea, I watched it on CAD also. That shit is completely gorgeous. Me want.

I like the trend started with the Mad World Gears of War trailer also.

Looks beautiful. What platform is it for?

PS3 and 360.

Yeah I'm excited about this one. Some of the climbing and combat scene's look fucking amazing. The crowds and the whole blend in or push through stuff could be fun. Suspect the PS3 will be (should be) better at that sort of large group AI stuff - be interesting to see how it all works out.

We're talking about that woman on this project again, aren't we ?

In seriousness, I keep getting interested in 'the twist' that everyone's talking about.

There's this picture of the Game Over menu which shows some interesting stuff. Whether or not that's the final menu is beyond me.

Interesting Indeed.


Needs more Jade Raymond.

Just for you...

The gameplay is more or less Splinter Cell-esque, except that we're not saving the U.S. anymore, right?

I rather like assassinating people Hitman style.

So when do I need to buy my 360 by?

Seems like Ubisoft announced a PC-version during the last Ubidays in Paris.

At least according to a few German sites: http://www.exp.de/showspecial.php?aid=all&id=732&pagenr=3 (http://www.exp.de/showspecial.php?aid=all&id=732&pagenr=3)

That is also confirmed on the gametrailer.com bit.

My PC will not run Assassin's Creed, so buying a 360 is a cheaper solution.

Also, Mass Effect. keke

I'd bang her on the bathroom floor.

Some interview stated that the events in Assassin's Creed were "real" and that it's "not the matrix" and "not really time travel."

So my guess is that the assassin guy is being brought back from the dead in the future and those are his memories.

But I can still sneak around and disembowel people, right?

Yeah, this + Mass Effect might actually be a system-seller for me, if the 360's price-point drops another $50-$100 in the next 6 months.

Of course, there's still this giant pile of PS2 and PC games to play, so... maybe not. :|

Awesomeness! ANd I'm just in the process of buying something that may be able to run it. And Ubi don't use the virtual herpes anymore! Hurrah!



This is the internets, there's pix of hot chix everywhere if you choose to look for them.

I am aware of this.

But she looks clean.

And then afterwards, you can play games, instead of slinking away while feeling dirty.

I saw that trailer the other day, and am completely digging it.  I never played the first one.  Probably need to pick that up.

There was a first one? What are you talking about?

Oh, you didn't know about the first one?

Someone's not the expert they thought they were...

I'll be interested in this game after the first "Video game teaches childen to convert to Islam and kill Christians" headlines. 

And not just any Islam!  Hash junkie Shiites who are seeking to usher in the return of the 12th Imam under the orders of the Old Man of the Mountain!

It's funny that you bring that up, because I was just thinking about how this game could, in theory, teach a tiny bit about ancient Islamic culture.

Incidentally, of course. I'm still waiting for people to jump all over the game for pitting a Muslim against "holy, righteous" Christians.

You're of course ignoring Islam's long tradition of conquering by the sword, considering that most of the middle east, all of north Africa, and Spain were Christian lands conquered by Islam, and the inhabitants of those regions were still majority Christian even up to the Crusades.  I call the Crusades payback, bitches.

And for the record, many crusaders were very much "holy, righteous" guys, particularly the king of France, St. Louis the Pious.  Of course my favorite crusader was Frederick II Hohenstauffen, Holy Roman Emperor.  He "conquered" Jerusalem (actually cut a deal with the sultan of Egypt) while technically excommunicated by the Pope and eventually had actual crusades called against him.  Interesting guy, Frederick.

I'm not forgetting, though you can bet that the American public will.

Well.  There's a splash graphic on top of F13 that's been there for ages that I thought was from the 'original', and I've always wondered what game that was from.  Looks the same, it's the header with the guy in the white hood on the left and some guy in a helmet on the right (I'll get a screenshot the next time I see it).  And also, I've seen the Assassin guy used on other forum signatures for quite a while; at least two years now. 

Maybe it just looks like it, coincidence or whatever.

Or maybe I'm thinking of Thief?

Hell, I don't know. 

You mean this?

It's been there for awhile, but that shot has also been out for awhile. Assassin's Creed has sorta been in development for awhile.

That's it.  Cropped version appears here.

Well, slap me silly and call my Shirley.

What they show of the game play reminds me Prince of Persia.
