I picked up the steel book case at GameStop today for $5. Little do they know I am just going to abandon the pre-order and buy it from Amazon instead.

Picked up my steelbook today as well. 
It's actually a much smarter marketing move than giving the steelbook with the game.
This way, you have this case on your shelf, acting as a constant reminder that a) the game is coming out and b) you have a pre-order.
Well played Ubisoft.

I just noticed his tomahawk blade is the shape of the Assassins Order logo.
Nice touch by whoever came up with that.

You're like really late bro.
Are you british?
I would much rather side with the animals.
Imagine a group of animal assassins like bears and racoons.

Good trailer but I expected something as awesome as previously announcement trailer and this one doesn't grab me at all, specially the music.

So, with this game being officially announced and trailer'd, who's on the same page as me and wants to skip one/both of the ACII sequels?
I played through the second game and loved every moment of it, but I don't want to burn myself out on too many same-y sequels. At the same time, I feel like I'm missing quite a bit of story if I just jump from AC II to AC III, but hot damn I REALLY don't want to play the sequels. The entirety of both those games just feel like filler content for me. I kind of want to play them to keep up with the series, but I feel that if I do that I'll just burn myself out

I just started Brotherhood, and I probably won't continue. I really liked a lot of AC2, but I can't get into ACB. Too samey.

That's me exactly with Revelations. The filler is there, but the truth puzzles are gone, along with some of the truly gorgeous puzzle/platforming levels inside cathedrals and the like. I just couldn't muster the will to keep going.
AC3 has my interest though, and looks like a solid followup to AC2.
That imagery is almost unbelievable, i only believe in it because i' m watching it.

What if they used in-engine assets to make the trailer and spiced it up afterwards like they do with the Uncharted cinematics?
Don't know how to explain it but the trailer's look felt different from the other AC-trailers.

I'm guessing November. Darksiders II is out in June I believe and that too should be a Wii-U launch title.
So probably Oct for consoles and november for Wii-U/PC(?)
Not necessarily - there are a few games announced for the Wii U that will release on other platforms before the console has launched. That said, the Wii U will most assuredly hit shelves in Q4.
َACB is not that bad actually it has some amazing moments but skip ACR its terribleSo, with this game being officially announced and trailer'd, who's on the same page as me and wants to skip one/both of the ACII sequels?

Good that the setting is not mostly snow as of my first impression of the leaked art, I don't want walk on a giant Oreo ice cream cake like I did in Skyrim.
I think Nirolak said those were GI digital scans. Might need to remove them.

It's weird, I've heard people say a game wouldn't be released where American soldiers are the "bad guys", but the last few missions in MW2's campaign has you killing US soldiers in Afghanistan. Nobody complained about that at all.
Probably because there were far more controversial parts of the campaign.

Let's hope not. I believe it will be a new game in the series
I agree...not comfortable playing a terrorist.

The launch trailer looked amazing but I was hoping they would change the attire to match the era. The outfit worked with the time frame before but I was hoping something more colonial when I heard about it. But I guess it keeps the continity of the series. Either way I'm pretty stoked about this one.
Exfoliated bear assassins at that!

Yeah, as long there isn't anymore dumbshit DRM, PC is the way to go
PS3 version(s) have only gone from horrible to mariginal in regards to performance after all these games
Biggest win was the PS3 version of Revelations looking identical (even better in some spots) to 360 finally ...now performance on the other hand

It hurts me to say this, because you have such an awesome avatar, but you're way off on ACR.
It has one really lackluster gameplay mechanic (den defense), which is entirely avoidable. Other than that, the climbing and combat mechanics are improved and expanded upon, the storytelling is the best in the series aside from maybe AC2, and if you give a shit at all about Ezio or Altair, then it's worth playing just to see their stories ended so beautifully.
