Even in the first one, I mean sure he had the monk looking robe, don't mind the long sword, daggers, belt and shoulder full of throwing knives though, I'm just a monk guys!
Can't believe people really would complain about these things.

Looks lovely, but it's dumb if he only fights the British.

Completely new combat, so who knows.
No, you don't. Its really not that good. Just look up some spoiler videos.
This looks awesome though. Getting pumped to kill some red coats.
That PC version sure is going to look swell
Yup. Revelations is breathtaking at 1080p60 on my 50" plasma. It isn't demanding either, hopefully they push it more with this game. I also hope you can play through the game without the hood on.
Well I did kind of like Brotherhood but there was no question in my mind that it was a full priced expansion pack. Same areas, same characters, mostly same abilities and a really really light main story on Desmond's side. I was ok with it happening 1 time but when they announced Revelations I was almost immediately turned off. But I'll probably buy it during the steam summer sale if they can get it to 15 or under.

Holy Sheeeeeeeeeeeeet! These look great.
*please have dynamic weather*
Seeing these makes me curious about customization (armor, capes, etc). What kind of stuff will we be buying/unlocking!?

Picking this up on PC for sure.
Well, Constantinople has several hundred years of development time on Boston. And you're seeing so much more in that shot due to the elevation changes. Boston isn't going to be as large, and maybe not as topographically varied, but I think it will compare well to previous AC locales like Forli and certain regions of Rome.

Since I finally finished Revelations last week, the setting of AC3 makes a whole lot more sense.
I wonder why they were teasing Victorian London and Samurai's when they clearly had this time period and location in mind.

Can't believe people care so much about how "out of place" he might look. It's not like stealth has been important since the 1st, it looks badass and hey, the only reason you've never seen it before are those damn Templars.

I like the weather changes, as you get all 4 seasons in the Northeastern US (particularly nice during Fall).

I'm playing it right now and it's not actually bad. The setting isn't as interesting and it feels like it's cutting corners here and there but ultimately I'm kind of enjoying the Ezio/Altair epilogue story it's telling (just don't expect any advancement of Desmond's story). Going in knowing it was originally plotted out as a portable system game (ie the story is ultimately not important to the main Desmond plot) helps with the expectations too. But yeah, enjoying it.

For me it wasn't about money so much as the feeling that I played ACR just to have played it, ACR doesn't give back for the amount of time it takes to beat, even if you want to see the end of Ezio's story it faffs around for hours before it starts going anywhere.
Look up! He's right there!!!
Maybe on PC it'll be like this, although AC has always had plenty of bullshots.Should be retitled "new AC3 bullshots"
I mean, I think I'd almost be happy with this in real time for next gen LOL
Holy Shit, it works IRL, then.We need maids.
Yupp.
Entire game could have been condensed into a 10-30 minute tutorial segment for Assassin's Creed 3; especially Desmond's story on animus island. Ezio's a bit more complex, obviously..but Revelations doesn't really end the story to the same degree that Embers does, and that's a stand-alone short film that can pretty much be watched for free.

REALLY hope they can capture American wildlife and landscapes like Red Dead. Otherwise, this is looking gud.

Theres nothing there that makes me want climb those genric buuildings.
That was the problem with AC1 and some of AC Revelations, and it will be even bigger in this one than in ACR, so for me it doesnt look impressive.
2 then, without a doubt. Denser cities, and more of them overall. None of them feel the same, either. Brotherhood, despite being a better game with a more engaging story, consists of only one city, even if it is significantly bigger than the ones found in 2.

Same here.
Oddly, These screens have piqued my interest in this for the first time.
Artificial Stupidity.
Aside from the Hagia Sophia and a few minarets, Constantinople's architecture in terms of building size isn't terribly different from what we're seeing in AC3. Most of the buildings in Constantinople are 2 or 3 stories tall. It's just that its landscape is also very hilly, which contributes to its verticality. Rome also had hills enhancing the vertical scale of the gameplay, though most of those were out in the less densely populated areas of the countryside. Venice and Florence, however, were pretty darn flat for the most part, and, aside from a handful of major spikes in height (mostly from church steeples and towers), they were also mainly made up of 2 and 3 story buildings. And in the first game, Jerusalem and Damascus only really got height from minarets, and Acre just had one ridiculously huge church.
So...I really don't see much of a difference here with the cities. The biggest landmarks are going to be smaller than the biggest landmarks in most of the previous cities, yeah, but beyond that, the vast majority of the urban environment should be very similar (and looks very similar in that screenshot, slanted roofs aside). Colonial and early American cities were very closely based on European models, after all.

They better switch up the combat a bit.
They are scared that it will be good.

There is nothing in these shots that would be even moderately difficult for a modern PC to render.

Looks so rad. Now, give us a combat system that is actually challenging and a greater sense of "stealth" and you've got a winner.
They're racist!

True, but it still probably won't look like these.

ubi loves showing pc screens then delaying the shit out of the pc version and adding horrendous DRM. Love the irony...
It's like some cruel game they play with us...

Didn't Revelations come out 2 weeks later on PC? It's not great but they're getting better.

Metal Gear Solid 3 meets The Patriot? I'm so there. Never been a fan of the series to be honest but I'm ready to jump in.
