Assassin's Creed Revelations

There's a really big grin on my face right now.

That would explain the big Assassin sign on the floor.

Not just yours.

Also does Ezio look different to you guys minus the aging

He has different clothes. And he officially is a Badass Grandpa.

My face lit up when I saw Altair. The guy may not have as much personality compared to Ezio (although I did love his warrior poet codex entries) but the man just oozes badass.

Revelations looks fantastic. Are PC players going to have to wait the usual 6 months though :( ?

^^He looks a little different cause it's prerendered I think. The eyes in the prerendered cinematics are just generally smaller looking so I think that's the only reason he looks so different- in game he'll probably look like normal Ezio but old.

I meant facially. He looks like someone I could easily look like in 30 years if I took care of myself while young Ezio isn't really facially similar to me. It's really weird and cool.

That's exactly how i feel about Altair. Altair is both bland and badass. That's probably it then for his face it must be the cutscene

Also anyone else find the two scenes where Ezio looks at Altair and both of them walking powerful ?

^Yes. Yes it was.

I swear, Altair in that trailer oozes cockiness just by the way he walks and looks at Ezio. Ezio may have some competition for biggest badass of this game.

Considering Ezio is looking up to Altair, he does give Ezio's badassitude a run for its money.

Also of course Ezio is looking different. His receding hairline is the most jarring change in appearance.

No Altair was clearly the bigger badass. He had a sync meter for health. i.e. he never got hit because taking damage loses synchronisation. Ezio just has a regular health meter.

He was never detected except after he killed his targets either, since being detected causes a flash of desynchronisation.

And somehow he was able to have 5 minute long discussions with his targets at the end of the assassination. Either he did it so stealthily that no other guards noticed. Or he killed everyone else in the room before taking out the target.

I want to see more of Altair simply becuase Malik will probably make a re-appearance as well. I actually like Altair and prefer him over Ezio as the lead mainly due to the Arabic setting,but Malik is definitely my fave to read fan fics about especially xahra99's stuff. Hopefully we'll get a glimpse of Altair's kids as well.

Assassins Creed is a Hide Your Children kind of game (discounting Petruccio). Fat chance.

The kids are instead hiding everywhere in the same spots as you can. They leg it when you approach.

Eh, I'm getting the feeling that they are starting to milk it. I liked Brotherhood but that ended Ezio's story, the Borgia were destroyed, Ezio avenged his father and brothers, and created an entire new branch of the Assassins. I absolutely couldn't care any less about the meta-plot so if it just focuses on that then I'll have even less of an incentive to play. I'll probably get it eventually, but not until its cheaper.

This is what I got to see at Ubisoft's pre-E3 briefing.

What the Hell, Hero?? Those guys were at the worst Punch-Clock Villains, and at the best random merchants who were just as stuck by the blockade as Ezio.

There's a section there that looks not unlike Uncharted in terms of set pieces. I'm not sure whether I'm happy or disappointed.

As long as I can still plan a stealthy route to take out my targets I'll be okay with it.

I'm actually interested in learning more about Altair. The new locations remind me of Assasin's Creed 1.

I don't think the series is really being milked, just continued.

A milked series is something like COD, where next to nothing changes from the previous title.

I just hope they come up with a good explanation for the Altair sequences- wouldn't want it to be too much of an ass pull.

Yeah, what with the Animus malfunctioning and all, I can see both those problems re: milking the series and Altair's appearance being solved in interesting ways.

If what my friends tell me is correct, Altair comes into the story via Ezio using tablets that Altair created using the Apple and function basically the same way as the Animus, allowing Ezio to experience Altair's memories. That'd explain why Altair turns up in the trailer; the bleeding effect.

Don't hold me to that though, this is just hearsay. I can't back this up with a source.

Yes, that's true. It was in my copy of Game Informer.

The actual creed of Assassins in this series must just be one word by now:MINDFUCK!
