Man look at the screens, they look amazing as hell. Can wait for this game :)

TriggerHappy6214d ago

man but that blue haze effect is weird though.

kingofps36214d ago (Edited 6214d ago )

Yeah, its always been blue in all their screenshots. I think it's a bug.

Sevir046214d ago

it's the direction and theme of the Art. just like how Shadow of the collosus had a sepia tone, and how MGS games have traditionally been designed with sepia and greens in the art style direction. and it's also why Resistance has it's own shady hazy like look. It's the choice made conciously by the developers to go that direction in there art and graphics department. So all you people cant say that the ps3 has bad shaders and what it's not and horrible textures because it's colors for games looked washed out. that being said about MGS4 and resistance beause those were are exclusives. this game is a multiplatformer game, (one of the few i'll get this year for that matter), that has been built for both systems. so theres no excuse in saying that. Clearly it can be seens as a direction of art style. which is cool. it separtes itself from all that overly gossy Crap that some of these next gen games try to brush off as real. It's all was good to do stuff like that. it's kinda like that game graphics wise from Panademic that new title which drops next year called sabatour. which uses a sim city like approach to it's graphics. very interesting. i'm so getting this game

techie6213d ago

We've only ever seen one city...there's 4 or 5, and then there's the future...so I'm sure the art direction differs for each and probably has a different pallet.

Nice to see this game is still hot and brings in the crowds

coolfool6213d ago

Although I really can't be bothered to find it, i think in one of the interviews with ubisoft they said that the entire game would be set in the past but jsut some story references to the future.......I could be wrong though..........

Firewire6213d ago

I'm realy getting tired of waiting for this game!
I don't think they should keep teasing like this , soon I will
just abadon this game, as it seems like a hype fest.
Have they ever released a real vid of actual gameplay?
All I ever see is screen shots and a couple CGI vids.

I find games that are hyped this way don't tend to be that good!
I just hope it lives up to the hype!

NewZealander6213d ago

It will be because they r useing ps3 dev kits, once again another game that will look washed out on the ps3, but will hav to wait and see. cant wait for this game to come out and cant wait for ps3 vs 360 comparisions. This game will be the true test to see which machine is more powerful, it will be interesting to see waht version comes out on top.

joemutt6213d ago

They have already been seen from a trailer shown at E3 '05.

We atleast know there will be scenes of the future, not just references, but if they will be playable or not has not been told.

When you die in the game, you wake up in the future on an operating table surrounded by scientists. Thats about all we know.

I'm waiting to see more of it in action. The AI and animations of the crowd and the main character is what sold me in the first place. I hope they've improved with that. They still have months to tweak.

tony6214d ago (Edited 6214d ago )

i'm not impressed by the look of these screens but the gameplay could be fun.

dissectionalrr6214d ago

it looks like the white balance is off. way too cold.

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske205d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid205d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot205d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno204d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot204d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface204d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot204d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69205d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake215d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga215d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx215d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga215d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9215d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler216d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666215d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52215d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott214d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara204d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52215d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner215d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52214d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster215d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot215d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster215d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned215d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9215d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1215d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster215d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
