HYES! Can't wait for this. I hope they have made the game slightly more varied than before though. Assassin's Creed had that old-school GTA feeling as I parkoured around the cities and duked it out with guards only to hide later...

The changes look promising and I will definitely get this for one of my consoles back home. Any idea when it will be released?

[amazin]

the first game suffered from the same issues as far cry 2 IMO

it started out feeling new and amazing, but it streched out for far to long without changing the gameplay... both great games, but they got old quick.

What issues did Far Cry 2 have that Assassin's Creed did?

it was too mcuh of the same thing dued

[amazin]

the gameplay in the first two hours was EXACTLY the same as the gameplay in the final two hours, and they were both fairly long games (if you didnt just speedrun through the story mode)


but i like the idea of more weapons and guard types...

the new assassin looks pretty cool too

Why does this assassin have all 5 fingers on both hands?

He ain't Altair. It's a different era.

No, its because Hes not as stupid as Altair, didn't you notice that Altair was the only assassin with 4 fingers? Its just that Altair dosn't understand that Knifives = Sharp.

Nothing wrong with long games. So many games are now ridiculously short that I think having length is a positive rather than a negative.

[TehKiller]

I think he meant that a long game having the exact same gameplay from the start to the end is kinda boring (and I somewhat agree with that)

All I can say is *IG Guardsman Voice* CROSSBOWS, WHERE ARE THE CROOOOSSBOWS?

I'm going to presume you can't be serious (unless you never finished the game), and leave it at that.

[amazin]

well there was someone else with only 4 fingers...

Spoiler

The girl in the test lab (when you are playing as desmond), i forgot her name...

Because he is a polydactyl?
