Look here you can even see the screen tearing in the utube video!!! I really want this game to perform well so that I can enjoy Constantinople in all its glory but guess that won'd happen. We already know the gameplay and story is gonna be garbage.

Heh okay? Obviously you don't care for the games, so you are looking for some reason to trash the game. The game looks and performs (and plays) the exact same as Brotherhood, which was a lot like AC2, which was a lot like AC1. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

My eye can't even see screen tearing. The only thing that bothers me mostly is a bad framerate.

Why will the gameplay and story be garbage? I'm loving the overarching story.

Regardless, I didn't see much wrong with the video, and they have a number of months left.

I think II and Brotherhood refined the gameplay much further. More options were given as to how exactly you could assassinate your targets (both main targets and soldiers etc.) Beyond that, I found they refined much of the "clunky" traversing and fighting from the original AC. The developers also broadened the variety of side-missions to make them far more interesting.

The first one wasn't perfect at all but it had alot of depth that the later games didn't have. ACII fixed some of the flaws but lost depth and alot of what had potentional from the first game. ACB is just a terrible game that didn't improve upon anything, just getting more shallow. And the first one wasn't repetetive. I played it 3 times and did all the investigations even if you didn't had to.

Yeah pretty much unless they go back alot to the first games in terms of gameplay.

You sir have some incredibly high standards :P.The voice acting in this series has been great - the only instance that bothered me was the in the first game, because Altair sounded American, lol.

Each game has become progressively better - The only difference I can think of is that Assassin's Creed had a more erm, how should I say this? Linear single player where you go do a bunch of missions related to killing one guy, once he's dead, move onto the next target. I actually prefer what they've done with Assassin's Creed II and furthermore, Brotherhood.

In terms of Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Well, I certainly hope it's different than Brotherhood. Assassin's Creed II was a very similar yet different game than Assassin's Creed 1. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood was more of what Assassin's Creed II was but it expanded even further. I'm not sure if I want to play another AC2+ game, rather I'd like to see some new twists on the formula. After watching the E3 coverage and learning about the new design mechanics (that sound a lot like Inception, to be honest) - it certainly has caught my attention and has me pumped up to return to that world.

What not really? You get some more weapons that's pretty much it. And that's a good addition, from ACII, ACB didn't add anything. And I rather have clunky fighting that requieres some skill at least than kill 100 people with one button.

yes running against time has so much to do with being an assassin.

Assassin's Creed has always had tons of graphical issues, all the time, I would have like 50 lines coming out of my body, this was almost constant, there was clipping, and the graphics in general were just awful.

Lots of screen tearing there, some of you might not be able to see it on Youtube low res.

I saw it on E3 video at 720P.

I got alot of screen tearing on Brotherhood 360 as well, same engine I guess.

It's more noticeable if you got 120hz TV.

I agree with Altair. But at least he was Arab actor Ezio doesn't have an italian actor! That's why everyone sounds so rediciously stereotypically italian.

No it has become progressively worse. I don't really understand your linearity argument.

charlesdarwin55

The mission structure has become different, that's what I meant. Also, Assassin's Creed 1 has far less to do than the other two titles. There is a lot more variety in missions and A LOT more to do. You're also doing more things because it's actually worth doing, like the Lair of Romulus missions or the Leonardo missions. There's more of an incentive to do things in Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood than in the first.

In terms of stealth .. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood actually awarded you 100% synchronization for certain missions if you weren't caught. So - it's not as if there is no element of stealth whatsoever.

I have to go so quickly: Although not perfect they had good ideas with potential: more stealth, you had to prepare extensively to each target, much deeper story with deeper characters with motivation, better character development.

Lol really I hope you are joking. Mario is a platform game not related to plumbing. I am pretty sure they are aiming to make an assassin game here with focus on assassins and assassination.

I thought further iterations of the series were better in gameplay, graphics, and story. You're not really supporting your argument with anything outside of opinion.

Assassins kill. They don't have to be stealthy. But it usually makes things easier.

I think the thing here is that you just enjoyed the repetitive nature of the first game. You enjoyed that essentially every mission just had you tracking, chasing, killing every target. Don't take my word for it, read a review.

I agree that the story was better in the first AC. I still think they f***ed up and jumped the shark with ACII's story, but the game play has consistently improved throughout the series.

What not really? You get some more weapons that's pretty much it. And that's a good addition, from ACII, ACB didn't add anything. And I rather have clunky fighting that requieres some skill at least than kill 100 people with one button.

yes running against time has so much to do with being an assassin.

More weapons would mean more options for assassination... Which is what I said. It can't be a "not really", as it's a "Yes" or "No". Double assassinations are a great way to subdue multiple guards, so the second hidden blade is a good addition. The ability to disarm also made a good addition to the game, especially when you are surrounded by multiple opponents. Blending also made assassinations more interesting, and provided a new way to achieve the goal, as well as assassinating from hay carts.

I agree that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood didn't add much from the second, but does it need to? Especially when II was made much tighter than I.

Your preference is fine, but arguing one's opinion against another is a waste of time and effort.

As for your last sentence... So? A lot of this game is about traversing an environment similar to free-running, rather than having one avenue of approach/escape. The fact was, side-missions were made much more varied, which is a good thing.

I think it ran just fine for an unreleased game. And since I actually like the series gameplay and story, I'm totally getting it =DIronBass

Same here.

you found AC1 to be the best of the series?! :lol:

The game looks fine and will play fine. I'm not worried about it at all.

To be honest I feel that Assassins creed 2 was the better game over Number one. The story of Ezio is great, the platform aspects is great and in fact the moment you go back to playing as Desmond it feels bland and boring.

I actually loved Assassins Creed and didn't find it repetitive.

I'm playing brotherhood now and I don't find it shallow at all, its actually really good.

[QUOTE="mrmusicman247"]Ah look charlesdarwin complaining about Assassin's Creed again because he has this crazy idea that Assassin is always correlated with the word stealthy.charlesdarwin55
Well yeah pretty much. Not flamethrowing the ottoman fleet. Doesn't sound like an assassin to me.

Just a reminder, those flamethrowesr did exist. However I don't think the Ottomans learned how to remake them (they where probebly left overs from the Roman navy when the Otto's conquered Constantinople). But I do agree, being stealthy is what makes an assassin good.

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"] I have to go so quickly: Although not perfect they had good ideas with potential: more stealth, you had to prepare extensively to each target, much deeper story with deeper characters with motivation, better character development.

what made it repetitive?

I thought further iterations of the series were better in gameplay, graphics, and story. You're not really supporting your argument with anything outside of opinion.

Are you seriously saying that my opinions indeed are opinions and not of universal truth?? Jeeez

I agree with Altair. But at least he was Arab actor Ezio doesn't have an italian actor! That's why everyone sounds so rediciously stereotypically italian.

No it has become progressively worse. I don't really understand your linearity argument.

The mission structure has become different, that's what I meant. Also, Assassin's Creed 1 has far less to do than the other two titles. There is a lot more variety in missions and A LOT more to do. You're also doing more things because it's actually worth doing, like the Lair of Romulus missions or the Leonardo missions. There's more of an incentive to do things in Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood than in the first.

In terms of stealth .. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood actually awarded you 100% synchronization for certain missions if you weren't caught. So - it's not as if there is no element of stealth whatsoever.

Quantity=/=Quality. U2 could be called repetitive too, yet I don't think it would be better if I could do a time trial race with Elena in the middle of everythin.

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"]

Specifics! Tell me why you thought the first game was so much better. Also, the first (and the others to an extent) game was repetitive, that was probably the biggest complaint from fans and critics alike. Just because you played it through three times, doesn't make it not repetitive.paradigm68

I think the thing here is that you just enjoyed the repetitive nature of the first game. You enjoyed that essentially every mission just had you tracking, chasing, killing every target. Don't take my word for it, read a review.


"Gameplay
Go anywhere and kill anyone. These are Creed's strong points. The game gets bogged down in repetitive tasks too often."

What made it so repetitive? Tell me. Also I take some repeteiveness but with lots of depth over some boring time trials.
