But what would he climb?

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-29-2012 10:34 PM

New York Skyscrapers like Spiderman.

Isn't it really Assassin's Creed like 4 or 5?

Ah yes, those 18th century skyscrapers.

But yeah, they're not really counting the side-stories and shit. only the major titles count these days, because trilogies are where it's at or something.

AC 5(AC 1, AC 2, AC BH, AC R), but like KK said they don't count Brotherhood or Revelations because trilogies are the shit.

Because these days, that is how developers test the waters for sequels. They rerelease an older game and if it sells well, sequel time.

Kotaku have an article that says Game Informer put up an image for AC3 too early so it's more or less confirmed now.

I've never played an AC game, myself. Am I right in thinking it's about a family line that works its way through a secret history?
So, a bit like Blackadder without the comedy and with more assassinations?

Hmmm, without spoiling too much, it's about 2 rival factions fighting for objects of extreme power throughout history as told through the genetic memory of Desmond Miles, a descendant of important members of the Assassins, who is being held captive by a Templar company called Abstergo.

Interesting cover. Very different than the others in my opinion.
Huge AC mark. Have played all the games, including the crappy DS ones.

LoDownM 03-01-2012 02:15 PM

People already complaining about it being based in America. And the outfit. And Desmond being Arab/Italian/Native American.

#BROKEN Hasney 03-01-2012 02:17 PM

The outfit is shit for the timeline, he should just use it for official duties.

Not as bad as the Ubisoft logo on the box though. That, as always, is the dealbreaker until it's cheap enough to deal with their god-awful DRM.

LoDownM 03-01-2012 02:27 PM

I bet no one would complain if it was a ninja running around 1770's America.

Funky Fly 03-01-2012 02:32 PM

Oh, ninjas were around in 1770s America. You just couldn't see them what with being ninjas and shit.

I liked the Egyptian rumor more than Revolutionary America but I am interested with this too.
I kinda like that they explore characters of different backgrounds to be honest. It is nice to see an Arab and an Italian who don't fall into modern stereotypes. Too much to find out still..we will see.

Sounds like a plot point for a National Treasure movie.

Pretty good article about the American setting. Highlights some of the complaints such as lack of large cities.

Emperor Smeat 03-01-2012 03:13 PM

The setting will work out fine considering one of the key aspects about the Revolutionary war was all the ambushes done by both the Indians and Americans. Its a good fit and probably means a lot more wilderness and areas to travel than in previous games.

Probably going to deal with the Free Masons or other secret societies which occurred in America at the time.

G 03-01-2012 03:18 PM

Is it wrong that I'm really excited to play an AC game, and even going as far as calling it a day 1 for me?

LoDownM 03-01-2012 03:36 PM

I hope they add more shit into it. Revelations was a let down for me, all that was new was the hookblade imo. I don't count the tower defense shit, shit fucking sucked.

It's going to be awesome running around like that, blending in with 18th century colonists, when I'm the only dude who looks even remotely like that.

At least in the previous time periods, there were SOME people dressed similarly.

Oh, they'd bitch, just not for historical accuracy. They'd complain it violates the character.

Iop 03-01-2012 04:54 PM

They should make an Assassin's Greed game where u play as a greedy banker who runs around stealing money and things from people.

Some of these points are dumb.

Look, New York City had plenty of big structures, but who needs big structures when you have trees to hide in...heh.

Truth be told, I'm not exactly a big fan of trying to play it both ways at once. Thing is, a good chunk of New York wasn't built that high at that point. That's the sort of thing that takes a lot of time and either a lot of need or a lot of excess, neither of which New York City would be known for for a few decades.

And part of the reason these games are fun is parkour. hiding in trees isn't quite the same.

Look ma, my history is shit!

Or maybe it's just a slight bigoted notion that Injuns used tomahawks and whites used swords.

Colourful characters.

Okay, I kinda like this one, actually, but they have to walk almost as fine a rope with George Washington as they do with Muslims being portrayed. Amurrrrrricans, one of the big game-buying audiences take their founding fathers seriously (albeit unrealistically).

Ubisoft's only saving grace here is that they're in France, which most Americans can't find on a map. Or spell.

LuigiD 03-01-2012 05:11 PM

We still don't know if there will be nature ambushes..we are just assuming at this point. As you stated, there was American cities at the time such as New York and Boston that had plenty of buildings.

Of course we don't know. I was pointing out that the points put forth were shit, not that they were fact.

Are you next going to tell me "That's just your opinion!" when it was clearly so?

Also, I didn't really point that out. What I pointed out was that there were limited high places in said cities.

You can also steal their cars. And join gangs. And sell drugs. And carry an unseen arsenal of heavy weaponry. And kill pigeons. In fact I think I can draw up some concept art to go with the whole idea!!!!

We don't know anything, but when has that ever stopped bitching and conjecturing.

Well, we could always dumb down the seriousness and just rip off the original, add a lot more unrealism, hell even add shit to it. But keep it essentially the exact same game.

A potential HD remake of the original game or even a new game in the Baldur’s Gate series could be in development.

Beamdog studio who worked on last year's MDK 2 HD remake teased they are currently working on something involving the Baldur’s Gate franchise.

The official website for the series also teased an announcement could be arriving soon based on a hidden poem found deep within the website's source code.

Quote:

“Shadowy Figure- Raise Dead : Infinity Engine
For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory.
And then... it returned. Better than it was before. Pore over the tapestries and works of art hanging from our walls if you wish, Child of Bhaal... perhaps you will find a clue. But patience, ah... patience would reveal it all. As the silver moon waxes and wanes, so too does life."
Earlier it was discovered the series will be having a special re-release on Steam titled as the "Steam Complete Collection" with a release arriving in the near future.

Was that just a minigame or was it actually mandatory? I haven't played Revelations yet, I honestly didn't really care for a lot of the stuff they had added to Brotherhood as far as minigames and escort missions so I stopped paying attention to Revelations after I beat that Brotherhood.

G 03-01-2012 08:00 PM

Besides the mandatory time at the beginning, I didn't have to do it any after that. I think they said it could happen if your wanted meter is full, but I immediately cooled it down so I wouldn't have to go through that stupid thing.

DaveBrawl 03-01-2012 09:10 PM

In a way I'd like to get into it in order to expand on the story, but I really disliked the last 2 games especially Brotherhood. The only part of the game I enjoyed was the final boss, rest of it just felt like a chore.

It's pretty neat. The dpad twists and the little dial or whatever descends into the controller which makes the dpad a little bit more accurate. I'll put it to the test next week with SFXT
