The game looks fucking gorgeous IMO. I don't get what all the hate is about. This game looks as impressive as any other title coming out this fall/winter.
 
GOTY

Oh what's this? A new preview?


Huh



Hmm...




HYPE IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
the hate is over the very unpolished demo they showed at e3 where fighting looked boring and crowd interaction, one of the things they had been touting was horrible

Because whenever it's been actually shown as a game as opposed to as screen gallery or carefully edited trailer, it has become this trademark Ubi-glitchy mess of dodgy combat and animation.
 
I want to be able to kill anyone in the crowd but it seems as if you can only attack certain people. Also screw daggers I want a bow for some long range arrow sniping. Other than that the whole concept of this game has me hooked.
 
By the way. The ending to "Montferrat Walkthrough" with the chase and combat look freaking amazing. Make sure to watch that.

Waiting for a non-stream of that to go up...
 
Everything about this game sounds awesome but every time I watch a gameplay clip I can't even bother to finish it.
 
Just finished the Montferrat video and all I have to say is the post assassination really gets the blood rushing. Scaling building while being chased by the guards is awesome.

One complaint though is the daggers seem kind cheap being one shot kills. I would of preferred aiming them at specific points on the body.
 
Just watched. Holy shit they need to fix that screen tearing. If the frame rate is going to be like that. I can't buy this game. My eyes will want to gouge themselves out.

the hate has always just been the gaf bandwagon IMO. I've never followed the game closely but the footage relased has never changed my opinion that it looks like a very promising game.
 
Just finished watching the MONTFERRAT Walkthrough and I have to say, I'm impressed! You can reach and kill your target in so many different ways! It's HITMAN mixed with POP's acrobatie with a sprinkled of Crackdown.

I had kinda lost hope on it, but color me surprised! O_o
 
The Montferrat Walkthrough was preeeetty awesome. Very nice atmosphere and music. Looks like they somewhat fixed their combat animations. The chase at the end sold me on the game. :D
 
The combat looked great (he performed so many different moves, then changed to fight with his hand blade!), and the chase was very cool too.
 
The gameplay pretty much looks the same. The parkour looks really amazing and it looks like it'd just be fun running around the city doing that. But it still looks incredibly unpolished (tons of slowdown and tearing) and the combat still doesn't look like something you really want to do.
 
This fall, I am officially going to be broke off my ass from gaming. Metroid Prime, Orange Box, Phantom Hourglass, and Halo 3 was bad enough, but November is truly the month of wallet am cry.

On another note, this game looks unbelievable. Day One.
 
My gripe about this game is the completely dumb AI. Hurray I can stroll around a dozen knights after killing their Lord and they wont do a thing! I know theyre going for these situations big on countering and all that but it just doesnt seem to flow very well and kinda takes you outta the action when the enemy AI does nothing when you are right next to them, its just not realistic at all.
 
The only things that keeps nagging at me is the way the enemies so overwhelmingly outnumber him when fighting a group, and in such close quarters, with numerous opportunities to strike him from all directions, including directly from behind, it asks you to suspend your disbelief a little too much. It's not going to stop me from getting the game as I'm pretty much set on doing so at this point. Now, if these clips are being played at a lower difficulty...and higher difficulties actually cause the enemies to attack more rapidly, that could really alleviate that awkward group fighting dynamic.

I will say this though, I have consistenly been impressed with the climbing animation system they've come up with. It really looks wonderful. So many fluid transitions and convincing body movements.

EDIT: What Enduin said.
 
I need some more gameplay videos before I can decide if this is worth a day one purchase or not; and since I have a PS3, 360, and gaming PC, I need to know which platform suits the game the best.
 
This game looks fantastic. Day one purchase for me.

I was expecting this game to be delayed due to the lack of any new media or hype but it looks like it's right on track. The game looks gorgeous.
 
Some of that architecture is simply breathtaking. The detailing in the relief work around the stained-glass is just WOW.
 
It looks like this would be a great game for NExT generation, i dont think they can achieve what they really want on this current hardware. hopefully some hd vids soon. you cant judge tearing from a video guys.

EDiT: cant wait for prince of Persia HD

I almost thought I was the only one that saw all of that tearing.
