didn't they do it with METROID PRIME and METROID FUSION? those sold okay, iirc. the world didn't implode at least, and AC is a much more popular franchise than metroid, so this should be dandy.

Well look at it this way, no matter which you pick up, you will have more of the AC goodness to look forward to the moment you finish the game. Given how there is a new MC and a new setting, the game will feel fresh as well!

Regarding the both games releasing on the same day, this is a great opportunity to set a precedent of Limited Editions bundling the Vita version in with the Console version along with all the other little perks. Also it doesn't hurt that one ad campaign can be used to promote both games and bundle if that is the way they go. -

Picking both up, playing ACIII at home, and when I am out, continuing the awesomeness on the Vita.
Never stop playing.

Was thinking the same thing. There is already precedent with Ubisoft/Sony bundling in AC1 with Revelations. The collectors editions for AC3 hasn't been announced for the US yet. Showing AC3 on the PS3, then the Vita game and then announcing that the two come together in a CE would be a way to knock it out of the park.
I've been an AC on Xbox man myself, but if I could get both at a discount, theres no question I'd go PS3 for my AC III.

Sounds really good on paper. Now we need to see it in action.
I can't think of a single main character that is hispanic. Especially not in big budget games (though I could be wrong)

Looking great and I'm glad that finally VITA is going to get a AAA game. The girl looks a little like a pirate or it's just me?.

a good Vita price drop may tip me over the fence on this, the game sounds sweet and love the way she looks

Aveline's design does look implausibly modern, but not really more so than Connor's. Not particularly sexualized at all, thankfully.

Yep. Sounds pretty good right now. Looking forward to footage. I like her design.
Yeap. Isnt assassins creed one of the best selling new IPs this generation?
Fixed.
I'm not sure if they can afford a price cut, but maybe. Maybe they could do a price cut on memory sticks? though I guess a console price cut would be better since it seems they earn more money on the memory cards. If they don't do a price cut, they would do bundles.

Looks nice, unfortunately it being a Vita game kills it for me. I'm done with buying systems for one or two games, and probably done full stop with portable systems.
You guys have fun, I'll catch up later on Youtube.

I could be wrong, but I thought the main character in Just Cause 2 was hispanic?
That game always seemed big budget (I should probably buy it while it's $15 for PS Plus members. I loved the demo, and heard the rest of the game is just as awesome).
Jackie Estacado from the Darkness games is also of Italian and Spanish ancestry.
Oh right, the Just Cause 2 protagonist, finally! I guess I could add Jackie to the list, but he seemed more italian to me (I've only played the games, not read the comics)
Still though, I think hispanics characters have it worst of them all in video games. White > Black > Asian ≥ Hispanic
Damn, I still gotta play this one, need to finish Lost and Damned first. Thank! feels good

It was actually somewhat impressive technically for the PSP, but the design was just a bit poor. Still better than AC1 though
What if AC3 Liberation is to AC Bloodline what AC2 is to AC1?
OT: The premise and main character on this game sounds WAY more interesting than the main Ass Creed 3 IMHO. I don't have or plan to buy a Vita anytime soon, but this sounds intriguing to me whereas I am not sure if I'm buying AC3 on PS3 after feeling a little burned out after AssCreed2 and Brotherhood. With that said, I must say that this:
Ubisoft Sofia:
Mac port of Rayman Raving Rabbids
Tech work (not design work) on TC's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars
Chessmaster DS
PS3 Port of Prince of Persia Classic
Xbox 360 port of CSI 3 Dimensions of Murder
I don't really have high hopes
Does not inspire confidence that we will receive a worthy product.
I will never buy a Vita if they don't release a SKU with some flash memory built in. Ridiculous to not have that and have to rely on memory cards in a high end portable device in 2012. Memory cards should be for extra memory, not the only way to have storage in my portable device.
Sounds about right.
Play TBOGT though, it's superb game, best of the GTAIV series, and Luis Lopez is an awesome character.
What about a non-gangster hispanic character, and preferibly not a Puerto Rican one since they are more American than hispanic to be honest (and like Mexicans, just far, far from what the other people of latin america /act/ ). But as a character, he was awesome.
I hope this game takes place in more cities. The Vita is a powerful gadget, it should do better I think.
Aww come on, it is true that Puerto Ricans and Mexicans have been strongly influenced by american culture but we're still hispanic, at least physically (though we are a bit whiter than our south american hispanics brothers in general, especially Puerto Ricans). As long as he/she is hispanic, it doesn't matter to me if they're from Puerto Rico/Mexico or Chile/Argentina.
If they come correct with this, it might actually sway some purchasers. It needs to be visually on par with Uncharted, have the mobility of an AC title, but offer a completely fresh approach to combat that will make the game stand out meaningfully. Then perhaps people will have reason to believe the Vita won't only be getting half-baked, c-grade spinoffs.
I'm looking forward to the gameplay reveal. I'm not expecting it to look anything like that CG screenshot, but I expect it won't look terrible, either.

black female assassin?!...I like her better than Connor already. I don't even have a Vita but if this game is even decent, Sony can count me as a Vita owner.

So awesome! From the Vita having practically nothing to having an overload of great games feels good. And E3 hasn't even started yet! **hugs vita**

Man, this looks like the best AC game. No connection to Desmond? Yes, please.

Refreshing main character anyway. Definitely something I'll buy, hell I even bought and enjoyed Assassin's Creed PSP!

I don't think it's gameplay too. it's either concept art, or snapshot of cg trailer we haven't seen yet.

After seeing the pictures I'm really disappointed that this isn't the actual Assassin's Creed 3. A black Creole female assassin is way more interesting. Not to mention she's better designed.
Yes, it can't be ingame.
Also the textures are too good.
Look at the roof for example.

I don't know how to tell you this, but... Nathan Drake isn't black.

Christ man, I was joking. Even Stevie Wonder could look at Drake and recognise he's a white guy.
