Ezio? This doesn't look so good. AC: Milkylations?

[NewMonday]

some info:

- Ezio has a new item called the hookblade which allows him to use ziplines throughout the city. UBI says that it speeds up navigation by about 30%

- Eagles vision has become eagle sense. "Eagle sense let's you focus on a character and see where he's been," Amancio says. "You'll get an approximation of where he will go. If you're able to detect the path a guard will take, you can run ahead, set a bomb, and create a trap or an ambush."

Oh for chrissakes enough with the milking comments already. Every single AC article...

[Eamon]

yeah the trolling is going overboard. The fact the first comment has to be about milking and why did you even click on the link if you're not interested.

[Viddharto]

I agree. I seriously don't mind having a new AC title every year, they make them to make the wait for AC3 easier. It's great that they can make such a good game in just a year, while most developers would make quick rushjobs that could really be called milking. It's not milking as long as it's a good game.

As i said previously he was almost 50 in the end of brotherhood.

[MostJadedGamer]

After reading this detailed preview I went from being meh/dissapointed about the game to moderately excited about the game.

The positives.

#1. Replacing the traditional side missions with a random event system. As far as I am concerned randomness is alway is a very good thing. Using random events instead of traditional side missions technically gives the game unlimited replay value.

#2. Expanding the Borgia Tower concept. Especially good is you can now lose control of Dens you have captured making the game more dynamic, and exciting. Also being able to put a Master Assassin so u never lose control of a certain Den gives you more motivation, and incentive to level your Assassin's up.

#3. The hookblade. Being able to navigate the city faster, and not have to do boring climbing as much is certainly a good thing.

[Karooo]

it doesn't turn out to be a rushed out AC title. Loved ACB.

[NewMonday]

hope they improve their multiplayer code, i couldn't play with any of my friends.

[BIGTRIN]

wow, this sounds interesting, I'll end up buying this aswell it seems. Lol.

[rufioho]

wow, sounds amazing. Color me excited!

[Relientk77]

Sweet the details are revleaed! (nice typo)

It sounds like its gonna be good I am up for another Assassin's Creed, I wanna see what happens.

[Croash]

This AC already looks good, but I'm so hyped about Rayman Origins now, from a downloadable title to a full retail title, damn it, they're bringing Rayman back!

I also hope to hear more about Beyond Good & Evil 2 this E3.

[-Gespenst-]

Wowee! This looks like it's gonna be another Brotherhood in terms of how much surprisingly better it is than it's predecessors.

Hype officially initialized.

[C_Menz]

Im a bit disappointed it is going to be another spin off it seems since from what we know it most likely won't advance the main storyline that much(for desmond). However some of the changes listed there are interesting and has me excited for this game again.

[Viddharto]

Ever since they've released AC2, they've been working on AC3. They release the spinoffs to keep up the hype and to tie up some loose ends.

[tdogchristy90]

This does look exciting. Just give me AC3, finish the story, and let me die in peace. This Minerva talking of 2012 is killing me.

[Viddharto]

*look at above comment*

[tdogchristy90]

I sure hope you're right. As much as I like this series, I want it to end instead of it being ruined with never ending releases.

[Quagmire]

My guess is that Desmond's story will end in 2012 with Assassin's Creed 3.

I for one hope they continue making the game, but with a new descendant, and create a new story arc.

[tdogchristy90]

Yeah I'm fine with other stories, spin offs and other things involving the AC universe. It is my favorite series this gen. But when you take one specific story and stretch it over 8,9,10 games, it kind of loses cohesion. Besides, the game itself references a climax in 2012, so to release a game involved in the story after 2012, say 2013 wouldnt be good for the story.

Look at halo, I thought they did a good job of this, yeah the universe continues with spin offs but the main story/master chiefs story ended with the trilogy.

[Scotty056]

Please Ubi, don't have the hooks replace the blades. I like the look of the hooks, but hidden blades are the symbol of the Assassin.

[BigBoss07]

Basing my opinion off of the first picture released, the hook is shown on the right bracer. Now, most attachments(gun,poison,etc.) are attached to the left bracer. Thus, I can concur that this will not replace the hidden blade, but it is an attachment to the right bracer. If UBI decides to give him 2 hooks then that would be pretty awesome, but I'm pretty sure they'll just be attachments and not replace the hidden blades.

[BeckyLikesChocolate]

looks cool

"Ancel notes that he’s been working on BG&E2 for “a while”. He said they’ve had a little break from that project that that’s where RO started"

Wait, did I get this right, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is really coming someday? That would be amazing news. I have been waiting for a sequel since the day I finished first one on Ps2, and thats a long time ago..

About AC, looks like I will have to play through Brotherhood this year to catch up the story, AC2 was pretty damn good game. I like the new setting also, tought I hoped change in the time-era, like ancient Rome, Egypt, Greece, etc.. Maybe next time^^

[Lucreto]

Can't wait to see more. I wonder how Altaïr will play into it. I am hoping we play as Altaïr for a section and then move to Ezio to see any consequences then how it effects Desmond.

[Savader]

I see a lot of bashing here...I don't know why. I loved Brotherhood more than I did AC2, and Revelations sounds better than that. I'm not too happy about them releasing Revelations only a year after their last game, but they did the same thing with Brotherhood and that turned out great. I just hope that they don't get arrogant about releasing a decent game each year and end up making the same crap every year like Infinity Ward was and Activision is...because that would put an end to a truly great series.

[BlmThug]

I Dont Care If Their Milking It Because The Milk Is So Delicious
