Quitting this franchise and selling off my copies was the best thing I did this gen for my health. All the AC games (ps3 version) kept running and running worst with each new entry. Perhaps someday when Ubi decides to conclude the franchise with a proper ending and releases a compendium collection of it will I start caring for this POS. This is what AC looks to me 99% of the time, all in glorious sub 20fps.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Is multiple tear lines in a frame even possible?

 

[civilstrife]

Glitches in the Animus. Immersion.

 

[Carbonox]

Really nice trailer. So looking forward to this.

 

[The Lamp]

So is the only way we know it's in-engine because of the way it looks? That Gamasutra article isn't even referring to this game.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Glitches in the Animus. Immersion.

Hell yeah

This is why I buy all AC games on PC. It is worth the wait.

Not enough mobile/mini/indie gaming trailers with underground alternative music only hipsters know about to sooth your soul?

Nah, he's more into pensive chiptune soundtracks set to 2d physics platformers.

I'm not going to lie. I've watched that trailer a good 15 times now. If I could pre-order the soundtrack this minute, I would. Sure it isn't as grandiose as their previous out-of-engine CG trailers, but it's damn impressive for what it is. Like others have said in this thread, maybe we will get more at E3.

 

[Amir0x]

What, you don't want touch and drag to climb? Point to block musket balls? Flick to shoot arrow at screen?

*shiver*

I know someone from Ubisoft is here furiously copying down these ideas, don't give them any more dear God!

"...you’ll want to check out issue 74 of Nintendo Gamer magazine, which has an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U. We’re the only Nintendo magazine in the world to see the game, so you won’t be able to read about it anywhere else. The magazine is on sale 23 March but we’ll have a reminder nearer the time so don’t worry about whipping out your diary to mark that date."

slide fingers up and down on the left and right side of the pad to walk/run depending on how fast you do it

 

[Izick]

This game looks damn beautiful regardless of what genre it's in.

 

[Amir0x]

use the screen to trace a line to your target. Connor auto free runs to target

It's fine; I didn't want to sleep peacefully tonight anyways.

 

[Postman]

so the trailer is wii u footage?

 

[CrazyDude]

I am glad that they had the time to make this game. It sound like they are pretty much done with the game and are now just refining the game from here. This can only mean good thing for us. For a little bit, I was afraid they were going to make this game in a year like revelations.

 

[Massa]

Nah, I think the Wii U controller will just display an American flag the entire game while you play it on the big screen.

 

[injurai]

Hell yeah

I was listening to this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exrLylxFGUk and as I read your comment, In perfect sync the song lyrics matched. I just wanted you to know

 

[Deleted member 30609]

The AC games look and perform amazingly well on my average gaming rig. I could never go back to the console versions.

There's something about their lighting and use of color that just... UUUUUU

So he wants less linear missions, and better combat? His game resume is kinda bleh, but he sure is saying the right things, especially the right and proper way to say nes.

 

[beelzebozo]

this setting pleases me so much. i love american history iconography.

Awesome.

 

[alf717]

Nice.

I really hope they take advantage of the Wii U capability to make it the best console version.

I could see them using eagle vision with the controller. That would be pretty neat.

"Old" (by GAF standards) and confirmed for the US too. (Best Buy)

 

[Nelo Ice]

Just picked up my steelbook soo worth the $5. FYI if u guys haven't already Gamestop and Best Buy should have em already and u can go ahead and get ur steelbooks now.

Revelations running at 1080p60 reminds me of Jaffe's comments about a game looking like a painting in motion.

We don’t have to guess – we already know. The touch screen will be used for the game’s ‘Eagle Vision’ and will also display a persistent map. Fast-switching weapons will also be handled with the touch screen and there will be an interactive database to browse through. Finally, some puzzles will be implemented, which you’ll have to solve using the touch screen.

There ya go! Wii U to be a pretty good version, it seems.

Probably getting the PS3 version. If this is in-engine, then wow.

Said it once, I'm saying it again. Day one WiiU and PC. Thanks for the link it was a good read.

It's not going to look anywhere near that in the actual game.

 

[Amagon]

Anybody know if this steelbook is available in the UK?

Check your PM Box my dude!

 

[Keyouta]

No Wii U logo at the end of the trailer. Would this mean the console could still get a name change at E3, or presumably no since it's mentioned in the PR?

 

[AnathemicOne]

Ugh that outfit.... so out of place...

 

[Amir0x]

Ugh that outfit.... so out of place...

from the details they say you can buy outfits that look more 'in period'

 

[rdrr gnr]

You haven't unlocked the headdress yet.

Please let you call Wolves instead of Assassins.

Only if you perform 7 assassinations without dying.

 

[Tamanon]

2012 is such a tease of a year.

Edit: By which I mean it feels as though every such-slated release is so far away.

Watch - it's all gonna come out within the same four-week window.

And on Amazon.com as well.

Fine by me! Slot in Half-Life 3, too.

 

[Lonely1]

No Vita?

 

[Struct09]

Pre-ordered the steelbook from Amazon

 

[Jintor]

I will be very interested to see how the colonial, more 'open' nature of America at the time affects gameplay. It sounds like a lot more of an open-world-esque setting than Roma or Florence.

 

[teh_pwn]

If that's in game engine, then it's Wii U/PC as the dev target.

 

[tsunami643]

It's funny because it's true. In AC:R I thought my disc was fucked whenever the opening Ubi logo was all corrupted. And the fact that it takes like 10 seconds per menu item text to "decode" when I'm scrolling through, making it a painful process to do anything in the menu.

IMMURSHUN.
