It does look kinda interesting, particularly from a visual standpoint.

Wow. This is conflicting. Looks like potentially interesting story material wrapped up in the content I dreaded most from this game.

Just a bunch of first person stuff?... Weird.

again great trailer but personally i have 0 interest in that desmond animus stuff, my acr dlc hopes are ruined
just gonna open a bag of crisps and watch some guy on youtube play through it like i did with the desmond levels
Hmm, that's probably what I'll be doing as well. Really hated those parts.
Yeah, me too. I only rented the game, so I'll just watch this for the Subject 16 goodies. Should hopefully be interesting.

I enjoyed the Animus stuff, albeit not as much as the truth puzzles. But still, will definitely get this. Seems like this stuff should have been included from the get go though-- the Desmond content was way too sparse in Revelations.

No PC version?
Fuck you Ubisoft, yet again.

I guess that makes sense. Some of the pillars in the game looked like they were going to have more Desmond stuff.
Looks cool. Fuck you haters, I'll do more Desmond stuff if it's like the Villa in Brotherhood (SHUT UP I'M ON MEMORY 8 IN BROTHERHOOD).
Though, I really wish Ubisoft would 180 on charging for their multiplayer content since it divides the already small community even further apart on an aside.

I hope its not all first person crap. I want the chance to climb some crap with Desmond in this game please.

All the other DLC has come out on Steam, I don't see why this one wouldn't.

Didn't noticed the trailer in the OP. Guess this is just Subject 16 stuff (a.k.a. first person stuff) Looks interesting but not for the asking price even if it is lower than expected. At least the Vlad mission is now available for all..... sort of =/
I asked over at Ubi's forum about the PC:

$10 is at least in line with substantial DLC like Minerva's Den and RDR's Undead Nightmare. $15 for this amount of content just seems greedy in comparison.
Seeing as I can't stand Subject 16 and kind of soured on the Desmond Journey sections in Revelations, I doubt I'll be jumping into this. At least there's a few interesting visual flourishes in that trailer.

I remember there being two of those Animus memory gates unused on Animus Island in Revelations, so this is probably accessed through those.
I liked the story that was told in those bits, but the gameplay wasn't fun at all. I'd pay $15 for a short story of Subject 16's time at Abstergo if it had proper Assassin's Creed controlling-a-dude gameplay, but not more first-person puzzles. Although I'm interested to see how they handle Lucy since it doesn't seem like Kristen Bell's coming back. It was that other lady's voice in the trailer (Rachel, maybe? What's her name, the tech girl Lucy introduces you to in AC2?).

I didn't mind the Desmod sequences at all, but I'm not paying $10 for more of it.
At least it's not Den Defense DLC. That was by far the biggest misstep in the series.

Didn't they list Vlad the impaler single player missions? Seems like something different than those Desmond missions. Perhaps Subject 16's ancestor? Or I could be wrong.

Apparently Ubisoft slapped down the trailer. Did it come out too early?
As usual.

Hated those levels in Revelations, but am really interested in the Subject 16 story. Wish they'd do something with Daniel Cross though.

First game was much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much worse.
But yeah, Revelations is not that good.
The best parts were the sofia scenes and some of the dungeons. And the amazing OST.
My problem with the first person puzzles is that they could've actually been a semi-challenging thoughtful series of puzzles but it was far easier to just jam on the "create platform" button as much as possible and barge your way past every obstacle.
And the Minstrel mission. And the wrap up for Ezio and Altair.

What the fuck!? Seriously? One of the main gripes with ACR were the alternate reality missions and how they just seemed really out of place. So what does Ubisoft do??? They say, "hey, lets give them even more of the stuff they really didn't like and charge them for it."
Just goes to show you that all this shit was probably already done before the game was released and they just held back on releasing it. This is bullshit and makes me worried for future games in the franchise.

Still looks first person and still looks half baked :/.
... But since they're dropping hints about Subject 16 and Lucy I'm going to bite.... I'm part of the problem

Exactly. For me it makes me worried for future games in general. It`s disgusting.

This might be interesting. While I have no great love for the Animus sequences in ACR, they were interesting.
Plus... if this spells the return of Lucy/Kristen Bell, I'm in.

On one hand, I'm interested in learning more about Subject 16. I felt that one of Revelations' biggest flaws was that it completely wasted his character after two games of buildup. On the other hand, those first-person Desmond sequences were dreadful, though part of that was due to their ultimately inconsequential effect on the plot; they didn't tell us anything about Desmond that we didn't already know (He was an Assassin-in-training, ran away, became a bartender, and was kidnapped by Vidic).
Someone in the main thread brought up a good point about how the Desmond sequences should have been modeled after the final Subject 16 sequence in Brotherhood, where you're in some weird room that builds itself while you're running, jumping, and climbing around.

Yeah, that's what I thought would happen on Animus Island when I read about it. Was disappointed when that was not the case.

Yeah, would have been awesome to, I dunno, actually play the events that Desmond was narrating in the memory sequences. They could have used the sort of "geometry box" Animus style environment to cover up the fact they didn't time/money to fully craft out these real world locations. But instead we get to run around in first person avoiding walls and black boxes :/.
In a way, they kind of were, except that the player constructed blocks to climb on, and we were limited to 2 different shapes. I thought it was a neat idea, but needed to be polished/fleshed out more. Thankfully they were pretty short sequences, I don't think I could do a full game of that.
Based on the trailer, looks like we relive Subject 16's last memory before he was captured by Abstergo, and subsequently trapped in Animus limbo. Perhaps a reveal as to Lucy's true loyalties as well.

Yeah I got that vibe once when he talked about travelling down a river and the geometry seemed to match but those moments were few and far between abstract block dodge.
Be very interesting to see if there is new Lucy dialogue or simply reused stuff.

I actually liked the first-person stuff, but I truly don't give a shit about Subject 16, and I don't really see any way how an expansion pack of the first-person stuff could justify not only full priced DLC, but apparently premium DLC

I quite like the music that plays in that trailer. Couldn't hear sound earlier at work, but now that I hear some dialogue, I'm a bit more interested. Might be a fun diversion. Subject 16 was under-utilized in ACR, so I'm glad to see some more with him here.
Yeah, I actually liked the music quite a bit.
As for the DLC itself, meh.. but it's still AC and I'm forced to insta-buy >_>
