+Evolve
Is Evolve a full retail title though. I assumed it was a PSN only game, and it doesn't really push next gen graphics, perhaps it's next gen only due to budget.

Not at ubisofts?
Maybe it will be done like AC3 and they will have more than one demo.

Yep, but this time without freezes.
But I did like that Edward was just some random dude who became an assassin and wasn't born into it, told to join it, or had family in it.

Does originality matter? the Ezio/Leonardo brolationship worked great in ACII and Brotherhood.
Full retail game for all current gen platforms.
Protag looks weird.
I know that's an odd complaint, especially as it's based on just the art, but his face looks weird as hell.

Thruth be told there are many submissions in these threads which quality wise are very close, although is debatable if all these awesome looking screenies were taken at a playable framerate:
2014 High-Res PC Screenshot Thread
2013 High-Res PC Screenshot Thread
2012 High-Res PC Screenshot Thread
With that in mind, the AC-Unity preview showcased by Ubisoft looks quite impressive.
Any informations whether this footage was representative of console specs?
Interesting image. If that's Lavoisier, then we have a timeframe for the protag and potentially the series. If a return to Europe means a return to the quality of AC2/Brotherhood and the potential of a three-game arc surrounding a single character, they could easily transition from early-revolution into the Napoleonic Era.Protag looks weird.

Will the protagonist of this game have a terrible accent like Ezio did?
If so...
The protagonist will probably have a terrible fake french accent. :-\Will the protagonist of this game have a terrible accent like Ezio did?
If so...
Oh please no, 3 games was way too much.Can we just have Ezio again?

Three years of development and they're only just now ready to unveil at E3 this year?
Funny reading the thread about companies showing their games too early, and then reading this
False on both sidesis even a segment at the beginning where he is literally schooling Templars in assassination techniques.[/B] wtf?
I had a look at Lords of the Fallen and Evolve. While both are next gen only games, they don't seem to push graphics. It seems they are next gen only simply because of developer budget and the next gen architecture being so similar to PC. They are next gen only for the same reason games like Outlast are next gen only.
It isn't about when they show it versus release date, it's about the implication that makes for the game's design.
If they needed about four years to make another AC either this one is a size whore (which AC games have a tendency to be), they're pushing a bunch of new mechanics (that will be dubious at best) or they really re-wrote their engine from the ground up for the new generation.
Given that final hardware for this new generation only went final a year ago I'd have a hard time seeing two productive years before that of engine building, so I'm dubious there. The other two won't intrigue me enough to try the series again. The departure of Patrice Desilets led to an immediate drop off in game design quality for the franchise, a drop off they've been trying to mask by heaping on more shallow menu driven systems with each iteration. If this game was focused on getting back to what made ACII so good the time frame likely wouldn't have needed to be so long.
While I do agree that Black Flags mission design was lame, missions in AC3 are amazing. Each of them is different, with a unique spin and objective to it. It feels fresh as a morning dew. It's really the best campaign out of all AC games. BF is basically 99% tail mission and some stealth segments inbetween. I was a bit disappointed by it.Three years of development and they're only just now ready to unveil at E3 this year?
My guess is that we're getting another overly convoluted AC game with shitty world design yet again. Just like every AC after II. Brotherhood, Revolutions, 3, Black Flag, all had absolutely dog shit mission design, branching movement paths, etc.. Black Flag was saved by the pirating, which obviously won't be in this game.
Please Ubi, drop all the bullshit with make your own smoke bombs, assassin henchmen, convoluted sci-fi elements that take me out of the game's atmosphere, etc. and instead just give me well designed core gameplay with a world that allows for smooth traversals.
Holy damn, that's pretty.
Are they still calling this Unity? I assumed that was a placeholder. The Co-op better be damn good to justify it or it will mock you when you play it.
CGI and target renders are always pretty. Did they release a full trailer yet?
It'll be exactly like Le Pacte des loups.Are they still calling this Unity? I assumed that was a placeholder. The Co-op better be damn good to justify it or it will mock you when you play it.
The black hollowed out eyes is a odd design choice.Protag looks weird.

I don't know whether the actual game will look like that, but it definitely isn't CGI.CGI and target renders are always pretty. Did they release a full trailer yet?
Edit: Nm, missed it in the OP somehow. Still looks like every AC game that they've done before. I got suckered in with launch mania with Black Flag, think I will pass on this.
False on both sides
1.Yes he had DNA from those who came before but he was not an assassin, he was proficient at climbing because of how much rigging he had to climb while at sea
2.The templars were teaching him actually, not the actual way around, confirmed by the writer on twitter.
Very much glad to see them change/take out the brown leather from his outfit. Looked so weird to me.
1) no he wasn't an assassin, and that's what made the fact he had mad assassin skillz incredibly stupid, from a narrative perspective. At least Connor had the Obi-wan cliche to justify his transformation.
2) the sequence was: go meet guy from letter, guy walks around yard and asks Kenny to kill some straw dummies, guy says "wow, you are super awesome cool, and probably really good with the ladies too. we can learn from you. " There was no period of tutelage with the templars.
Now this is an Ass-creed I can get behind.
It was very, very apparent to me that this footage was not pre-rendered CG. It looked 100% realtime to me. That's in-engine. Heck, it was only 30fps (Gamersyde).
Didn't look anywhere remotely close to as impressive as the 2012 Watch Dogs reveal, and even that was realtime on some ultra highend PC rig, not CG either.
Wanna see some CG ?
Onimusha 3: Demon Siege PS2 intro
I think a lot of people have seriously forgotten what actual CG looks like.
I saw that AC pre order bonus poster when I was picking up Mario Kart the other day. It really annoys me that they are taking pre orders for this thing and all we have is a minute of non gameplay.
Well I shouldn't have said villains, but Charles Lee was an evil bastard and my favourite villain in the series.
