i've been seeing on the forums for a while now every1 has been talking about Assassins Creed like it is Jesus or something... wat is so great about it??? the game looks so lame what is the point ur some assassin named altair and ur missing a finger so u replace that spot with a lil dagger and blah blah it's a sandbox game and all that... the graphics don't even look all that special and the fights don't look as interesting as the ones in prince of persia IMO... so explain what is it about this game that would make ppl want it more than uncharted... besides the obvious fact that Assassins Creed is a departure from all the shooting that has been plaguing this generation...

not all game will appeal to everyone, personally im not excited for killzone 2 or metal gear solid 4 if we all had the same taste the world would be very boring place. that said there are really only 1-2 games a year that come out that do something completely new.

the gaming industry is all about what works and milking it till it doesn't creativity and innovations kind of been dead for a long while on all consoles and most mainstream pc games.

So you don't like it. Big deal. With every game there will be fans and there will be haters. Just so happens in this case...you're a hater. Nothing wrong with that.

ok Mujambo but no1 is answering my question.... i wanna know wat is it about this game that ppl are hyping it up to be a AAA title...urio1

Ok the gameplay items that make this game get the hype it has been:

1. Free Running. The entire world is interactive. Anything that looks like a ledge can be climbed.
2. Crowd Interaction. If you shove a guy out of the way, you'll draw attention to yourself. You can sneak into places by acting like the people around you. (ie walking in the middle of a pack of monks)
3. History Based. All of the "targets" in the game are well known figures in history who somehow died during the time period of the game's setting.
4. Fighting system. It seems to be a very well done sword combat system which simply hasn't really been there in any other games.

These are just my opinions though.

It's GTA In the medieval time's, You play an Assassin what more could be better than that?

also you can freerun!

IMO, AC looks tight, uncharted looks F IN STUPID

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and the majority of fans of all systems think AC will be great

"1000 Contextual Movements"
Using four buttons..Come on!?
Not saying its god..looks like
alot of fun onceyou're past
the learning curve..and it
becomes fluent!!

The game takes place during the Third Crusade, in the year 1191. The player assumes the role of Altaïr (الطائر, Arabic, "The Flying One"), a member of the Hashshashin sect (the original "assassins"), whose objective is to slay the nine historical figures who are propagating the Crusades. As the player finds and kills these targets, their conspiracy is unveiled. The player will be able to travel through three cities: Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus.

The environment is completely interactive, from the people to the historically accurate cities. These cities are populated by many people, and the way the player controls Altaïr affects how the bystanders around him react to his presence. For example, when going through a crowd, if the player lightly moves someone out of the way, it will not have a significant effect. However, if the player throws someone to the ground and kills them, the crowd may unite against him and he will then have to find a way out. Similarly, if the player shoves a person aside, they may shove him back. If he climbs walls, civilians will gather around, attracting unwanted attention from guards.

The producers of the game take pride in its historical accuracy. The locations in the game are distinctive models of the cities. All of Altaïr's targets are also historic leaders who died or disappeared in the year 1191 (though not necessarily assassinated).

The player will be able to grab onto and climb almost any aspect of the environment, which means exploration will be possible to a greater degree than in most other games. Ubisoft boasts that any object that stands out more than two inches will be interactive.

The control scheme in Assassin's Creed will be significantly different from that of the typical game. Rather than explicitly specifying what actions Altaïr will take, the player presses buttons corresponding to his various body parts and the game attempts to figure out what action should be taken. For example, running toward a wall and pressing the "legs" button will cause Altaïr to jump over a wall, while pressing the "arms without weapons" button will cause him to vault it. Virtually all movement through the environment can be done with just the left thumbstick alone, including walking, running, climbing, jumping, and swinging from poles. The only movement exception appears to be sprinting and starting a wall climb, which requires one to be sprinting first. Also, at the E3 2007 playable demo, pressing the R1 button will switch Altair from free-running mode to fighting mode However, when moving through crowds at a run you will stumble over anyone you run into, so you can also shove people aside as you run past to move faster and avoid tripping. It has not been revealed what the control scheme will be for PC users.

A major selling point is "social stealth": the ability to blend in with a crowd (as opposed to simply hiding in shadows) by performing actions that would be socially inconspicuous; for instance disguising the character among a crowd of monks, as was shown in the trailer.

It also appears that the player will be able to battle many historical figures, including the Order of the Knights Templar.

well, gamespot (or Mf'ing GLITCHspot) won't let me put more info on it, but assasins creed on WIKIPEDIA is an interesting reed. If you have the aqbility to reed for five minutes, do.:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin's_Creed

imo there is all the information that made me very excitd for the game

AC's combat looks crap if you ask me.

I want AC....but not as much as I want Uncharted :P

AC seems interesting and fun...and since I loved PoP series, I'm sure I will like this game.

thanks for the link mang..love the irony of
what the topic reflects and the info you have given..
5 mins..pfft 8)hilltops

what do you mean.. good read isn't it.. i think it is..

jus imagine gta in medieval times. mixed with tenchu and hitman blood moneyFreshprince221

^^^ ooo well idk from the videos i've seen it looks sorta boring... but even if the game does really well i wouldn't have the money to buy it unless HAZE or Killzone 2 gets delayed... i just wanted to know because alot of ppl say they will buy it and stuffurio1

Last time I checked, Killzone 2 isn't even being released until next year so you'll have a couple months at least between its release and Haze to pick up Assassin's Creed. Like others have said though, different games for different people. Just because you're not impressed with it doesn't mean that others cannot have their own opinion.

Purchasing Assassin's Creed automatically enters you in a lottery for a date with Jade Raymond. I'm definitely buying a copy.Jared2720

If only that was true! :lol:

Assassins Creed = GTA: Medieval

I am really looking forward to using Altairs free running skills to escape from enemies and also sneaking around the cities in the game. I am a fan of the sandbox principle aswell and this game just appeal to me in every single way.
There is great graphics in the game as well, not crysis or Killzone 2level but still its awesome.

jade raymond i think thats her namegamerf6

damn straight.
