Watched the new videos over at IGN and I couldnt help but laugh. It looks a little silly with the enemies being highlighted in code, and some kind of DNA meterblinking up top?Not sure about the sci-fi medevil genre mashing. all the scripted animations and stuff were funny too. I liked when he threw the knife at the guys shoulder, but the knife came into his stomach and then he fell over clutching his gut. Everytime they release a little bit more of a look at the game i get a little put off. I also dont really get the whole leap of faith thing. You cause a bunch of havoc, then just run around until you find some hay, jump in it, and then everything in the kingdom returns to normal?

I dunno, what do you guys think?

I hope the sci- fi stuff doesn't ruin it. I think it still would have been an awesome game without the sci-fi stuff. I still can't wait for it. I already pre-ordered it for the PS3.:D

I'm trying really hard to get into this game but it isnt happening for me. Atleast untill i'm actually able to play it and see how the gameplay is. And now their saying that their having memory constraints witht he PS3 version, so i'm hopeing were not going to get shafted with a crappy game......

I am going to buy the game, but I do have some doubts about it. The movement and jumpinig looks a little odd. I dont know if this will be game of the year or not, but we will have to wait and see what reviews it gets and how the gameplay turns out.

To me, the game looks more impressive than ever. But the complaints from the press about the controls make me very hesitant. Not to mention it comes out at a time when AAA titles will be fighting for my gaming dollar, such as Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, Virtua Fighter 5 (online), etc. I think it's one I'll wait on.

Just read a hands-on preview at 1up.com, which has increased my hesitations. There were grumblings about the combat, again. And the game is basically complete. The developer added, "only reason people will have trouble with the controls is because they've been brainwashed by playing other games so long". Uh, no. Get your control scheme right, then release the game, buddy.

I'm still not sure.

Previews tend to hype games up and when the review comes out they say it sucks.. It happens on every gaming website and in every gaming mag. I hate previews.

So no I'm not disapointed in AC but I'm not overly excited either.

Unfortunately I can't agree with you.

Assassin's Creed is shaping up to be a superb game. Maybe it's not your type of a game.

Personally, I can't wait to walk around the living and breathing medieval city with high-tech gadgets (if that's what it is) hunting down my prey in style and completely calmness.

That's just me I guess :)

im still on the fence about this title. i thought the combat looked a bit ackward with the targeting system, although the counter/kills looked great, and the great city layout and "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" esque vaults from rooftop to rooftop. Also, the voice acting by the main character is simply awful. After playing through Heavenly Sword and being exposed to such great voice acting in a videogame, I find it hard to listen to anything lower than that standard. If Ubisoft tweeks the combat a lil bit and calls up Ninja Theory to get some pointers on voice acting, i may pick this one up without having to see the reviews. Otherwise I'm gonna have to wait and see the reviews.

I thinkthe game looks amazing, but I understand what you mean and agree with you. Also I think some of the collision, like when you walk into people, get's a litlle glitchy. I hope they fix this because I can't wait for this game!

Assassins Creed seems like a great game and I for one am going to buy it right away. And the whole killing and running concept in the game, that isnt something new many other games have it as well. And second in the game you play as an ASSASSIN...... hence thats why its called Assassins creed. Assassins dont go all out like rambo and killing everyone and dying till the end. They kill their target and flee the scene, thats what an assassin does. Gee this is a game forum why do i always have to go all scientific on people with stupid topics/posts.

I was very excited at first but after watching a couple of videos for it my interest has wained. My main beef is with the voice acting; its pretty bad. And when you have a heavily story drivin game poor voice acting is a death nel.

It looks very interesting, I like the premise, and but the AI in the game looks like its very weak and the graphics didnt look as good as I thought it would be. I expected more. But the game has potential

Actually, after watching the IGN vids, I am more excited for it than ever. However, I didn't hear about the control scheme thing. nor did I hear about the recent memory problems. (i heard like a year ago they were having problems with the PS3, but they said they resolved them).

If it's a crappy port, and the controls are wonky, I might hesistate. It *looks* fun watching someone play it. and the fact that you can drag anyone into an alley and give 'em the sharpened toothbrush (prison s-ty-le) gives the game a lot of merit. but if theres only like 3 ways to kill someone, it doesn't look terribly amazing. it'd be cool if you could do it snake s-ty-le and sneak up on someone, grab them around the neck, drag them back, and snap their neck, then get something for it. If they would have included a monetary system, with which you could use to buy new/upgraded weapons, new cloaks/clothes/armor (skins), or maybe a house somewhere or something, kinda like Oblivion, then this game would be GOTY material. But as is, it looks like it could possibly get repetitive.

I'll try to remain optimistic.

Assassins Creed has been struggling on development for both the 360 and ps3. 360 due to lack of space on the dvd9 and the ps3 due to lack of memory.

I agree with the TC, the game doesn't look much polished, the crowd animation after that scene with the man on the horse talking to the knight reminded me of GTA so mechanical and game-like it looked, the self-shadowing of the man's cloak was also realy jaggy, also I worry if the game will get too repetitive because the time you get information about your mark and the fighting mechanics didn't seem very fun.

Ubi has another 3-4 weeks to polish the game and what I know about the game is too little to judge it yet. I'll read the reviews and rent the game before I decide, after Lair I don't believe in previews anymore...

I wouldn't go that far but for a game that comes out soon I still scratch my head at why we've seen pretty much the same level over and over again and not much else. Unless thats where the whole game takes place? I forget.
Graphically it looks awesome, combat wise it doesn't appear to be as deep as the whole stealth aspect but I don't know if that really matters if majority of the game is about stealth kills. I saw a video where the hero is surrounded by like 10 or so guards and thought it was kinda weak that none of them dared to take a swing all at once, it was all one on one. Maybe that'd be too annoying in the end, I dunno.
So yeah, I'm still interested in it but other games have taken higher priority.

Watched the new videos over at IGN and I couldnt help but laugh. It looks a little silly with the enemies being highlighted in code, and some kind of DNA meter blinking up top?Not sure about the sci-fi medevil genre mashing. all the scripted animations and stuff were funny too. I liked when he threw the knife at the guys shoulder, but the knife came into his stomach and then he fell over clutching his gut. Everytime they release a little bit more of a look at the game i get a little put off. I also dont really get the whole leap of faith thing. You cause a bunch of havoc, then just run around until you find some hay, jump in it, and then everything in the kingdom returns to normal?

I dunno, what do you guys think?

Rhetorix

IMO, don't judge before it's released. we as a gaming community have come to have only a SMALL slice of what this game contains. If it really puts you off, just rent it and give it a chance. I cant wait (I am a HUGE medieval fan, but that's not the point) for this game. The scaling of walls and combat really caught my interest. Also, I am pretty sure it's going to turn out to be a great game. It's ubisoft man, they don't mess around when it comes to games. oh and dude, how can the simplest things like this DNA meter turn you off? are you THAT picky?

Are you kidding me? These vdeos only mad me want it more than ever, it just looks like a ****load of fun! I et itif yodont like the modern part of the game, but it looks like the gameplay really incrporates t nicely into the game it self. Also, I would say you are getting very picky about the animations, which look just fine.
