They got me with brotherhood, if it is composed of just reused assets I will not be partaking this time, multiplayer was so rock-paper-scissors it hurt.

I am burnt on this series

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

You guys need more potatoes.

Make me fries!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Altair > Ezio.

Ezio smells.

Agreed. I can't stand Ezios face.

[Kingsora]

New teaser from the game ^^


it's something

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I love the AC games and I'm definitely not burnt out on the series. A Brotherhood type game with Altair could be interesting.

 

[Irish]

All in all, this stuff was pretty nonsensical. I demand something of value this very instant. :/

Hey we got altaïr his hand ... :-/

Back at 1%, Ubisoft what is this...?

AHAHAHAHA. I am not falling for shit like this Ubi. I might get interested as soon as you put up some real content.

So it's Assassin's Creed then.

[MendicantBS]

Yeah, they updated the flash site and added this:

 

[HawksEye]

I think this is the disc (on the right) shown in the new teaser.

Source.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I was seeing that thing béfore the 100% mark was reached, though.

 

[MendicantBS]

Really? I didn't saw it. Just remembered with video loop with Altair's name on.

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Going back to the roots of the Gods in Ancient Greece would be absolutely sexy and would make for some beautiful scenery. Just imagine looking out over the sea, seeing Greek temples in the distance.

Only the assassin part would make no sense at all.

 

[Pooya]

obviously Game Informer has the exclusive first look at this, no real info will come out of this teaser site, don't waste your time

 

[Elios83]

So a good guess seems to be the island of Crete as the setting at Atair's time?

 

[The Antitype]

Assassin's Creed is my favorite new franchise of this generation.

I love all the games.

Can't wait for this one. ESPECIALLY if it is, as we think, an Altair game.

Haven't been this hyped for a game since.... wow, a long time. Nothing this generation, certainly.

Yeah, if at least this 'ARG' was as good as the Portal 2 one, it would be more interesting.

so i spoke to a friend at ubi which he couldn't say anything except it has to do with 3-D.. i thought the obvious, ac in 3-D but i don't think that it is. what else can it be that has to do with 3D? hmm

I have no doubt that AssCreedR will support 3DTVs.

Well, there's no way that Ubi would give the 3DS game this much hype (or that it'd be deserving of such hype), even if it hasn't been cancelled.

Exclusive to 3DS?

 

[Freyjadour]

Please move past Ezio. Seriously.

 

[macfoshizzle]

i dont think it has to do with platform specific because it's definately coming out for current gen consoles.. that i know.

he just told me it's going to be so sick!! ..which is killing me

 

[Zomba13]

Please move past Ezio. Seriously.

This. Ezio is cool and all (as is Altier) but it would be nice if we moved past them into a new character to, you know, advance the story. Brotherhood was fine with Ezio because they needed to know where the apple was in modern times, great, fine. Ezio has served his purpose, we saw him rebuild the Assassin's order, get the Apple back (again...) and hide it. Altier could have more to show but we learn a lot about what he's been up to in AC2 with the pages don't we?
It'd be nice to have a new character, because one of the great things about the AC series is that a game could have you control anyone from any time period, and even (if they go for it) explore Edan with Adam in the time of the ancient people.

I'm hoping that the next game is AC3 and has you playing as Desmond, doing modern day missions and as Adam in Eden finding Eve or whatever he needs to do.

I don't know. If you've created a badass character that people love, why not use him.

We know generally what Altair was up to from the time of AC1 to AC2. There's still a lot of detail left to be explored that could make for some memorable gaming moments.

Bring them on.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Kinda hoping for a mix of characters this time... three big cities, different periods, all whizzing around in Desmond's head. That'd be interesting, so you can play as Altair, Ezio (maybe), and a new character whose story would continue in AC3... might be interesting.

 

[LM4sure]

Why do they need to revisit Altair? The guy in the present day has the Apple now! No need to go back in time anymore!

 

[squicken]

My dream fanfic scenario for the series is to culminate in a modern day Atlantis with Desmond where all those ancient aliens and Adam & Eve people are still around and Ubisoft's artist and writers just go nuts with locales and the storyline

Isn't that how the original Tomb Raider ended...?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Spoiler

Well... he went into a coma, lost the Apple to "William", and stabbed pretty much his best friend... so... yeah, there's that.

 

[Snuggles]

Does Ubisoft still have plans to make an actual sequel to Assassin's Creed 2 at some point?

 

[squicken]

Is it? I never played the PS1/PS2 TR games.

 

[syoaran]

Spoiler

As mentioned before, the protagonist is in a coma and the events you saw in the Temple happened in the past (the game said 72days, so your probably closer to 14days in the "real" world). It's safe to assume the bleeding effect has progressed far more as a result, so the game could be an animus dive without the animus (imagine a full game of the Altair section in AC2). This is all theory however, as unless the game focuses on Subject 16/Altair link I can't see a reason to dig up Altair's concluded story, as well as the DLC also makes a nod to the shroud of turin, the French revolution and the fact that Desmond's physical body is more than likely no-where near Europe.

Why would his body have to be in Europe?

 

[Kingsora]

And the third teaser is revealed

Btw this teaser makes me believe we will play with Ezio his father considering the date

 

[iNvid02]

dont want italy again ffs

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Ubisoft is trolling us now.

Maybe it's Altair, maybe Ezio, maybe a new character, no wait, how about Ezio's father?

 

[Lakitu]

I liked the theory that it would be multiple time periods.

 

[Irish]

Hell, I'd go back to Italy again if I was playing with Giovanni instead of Ezio.

 

[Ellis Kim]

no it's not...

 

[bobs...onGaf]

Assassins creed was exciting because they have the ability to take us to interesting timezones and locations that havent been explored in games. Playing as an Assassin in that era of Italian history would be retreading old ground.

Im worried that they are going to run this series to the ground, if they had left out brotherhood and done a 'proper' sequel with that amount of dev time they could have done another big step up. Im not a fan of these small steps.

I hope im wrong and that this new AC game turns out to be a huge step up but im doubtful considering AC2 only came out 2 years ago and Brotherhood came out last year.

 

[Rikyfree]

I think you'll play as Ezio, Giovanni, and Altair respectively in their timelines. As to which one will get the most playtime, I think Altair will.

 

[jett]

If it's Italy again I will lol really hard. I wonder how will Ezio lose the apple this time!

I'm with you. I hope that Ubisoft, seriously dedicates two years of development for the next big entry in the next-gen consoles.

That would be a big step.

 

[CrazyDude]

That teaser seems to show Istanbul. That would be an interesting location.
