Assassin's Creed Revelations

Just thought I would put up some new videos of the new AC from E3. Looks damn good, as always.

Gameplay Trailer:



Teaser Trailer:

Graphics look top class. I will be getting this for sure. I reckon this is the last game featuring Ezio.

Yep. It's Ezio's and Altair's last game apparently. I reallllly want the series to go back to the Crusades. I want to kill Conrad de Montferrat!

How do you know altair will be in it?

Because that was one of the earliest facts about the game that Ubisoft gave us. Ezio will travel to Masyaf (an imaginary mountain fortress meant to mimic the real life headquarters of the Assassins called Alamut). Masyaf is Altair's HQ in the first game. Apparently, Ezio will have to find seals that allow him to view pieces of Altair's life (kind of like the animus without the machine part.) Also, Altair was in that second video. He was the one Ezio saw during the battle, and then again walking on the rampart in Masyaf to be hanged.

Nice. I havent played the first one so im looking forward to seeing him. Nite have you online back on the ps3 anyway?

No. I still haven't gotten a new PS3. I will soon enough. I'm starting to save now. Then I need an apartment for Internet. A friend of mine will have a free room in her apartment soon, and I'm going to be taking that.

This one's going to be great, the demo is AMAZING.

For a moment I forgot there was ACII.

Comes out at my birthday! So I hope so be having
an Xbox 'till then.

Not a big Assasins Creed fan, still looks good though :3

My friend is going crazy about this game.

This is my favorite franchise this gen. It's just too amazing.

What's this about a demo?

I would guess she means the trailer.

She just means the gameplay demo movie I posted up yonder.

Damn, can't wait. Looks awesome

This is set only about 50 years or so after the fall of the Roman Empire to the Ottoman Turks (1453). I wonder if that will have any relevance to the story.

I hope this double post won't be any issue since this topic has been dead for a week or so.

Anyway, this might be slightly off topic, but what would you guys like to see as the setting for a future AC game? I think Babylon ca. 323 BC would make a great setting because Alexander the Great had conquered all the way from Greece to the outer reaches of India before his army mutinied and refused to go further. Upon his return to Babylon, he was even planning an expedition westward to take Italy, Sicily, North Africa, and who knows where else (some even believe he was searching for Atlantis in an attempt to, you guessed it, conquer it). Alexander is arguably the greatest general and conqueror in history (how could he not be a Templar?), he was known to have put down several plots against him by even his own generals (members of the Assassin Order?), and his death is shrouded in mystery (although in the AC universe, he was poisoned by an Assassin).

Thoughts? Rebuttals? Better ideas?

Meeting up with such an iconic historical legend as Alexander the Great would be amazing. He was most certainly one of the best, if not the best, leader a military force has ever had. And he was extremely young to boot. Didn't he end up dying at around 30? I thought I read somewhere that he died from stress/exhaustion from his long road of conquering everything short of the moon. Maybe it was just a theory. But it would be perfect for an Assassin (or better yet, a Zealot) to have killed him. The Zealots were kind of the historic prelude to the Assassins and date back to the first century at least. Though Zealots tried to make their killings as public as possible to send a message so it would be hard for the writers to keep history as it is and have Alexander's death be mysterious. Though the Assassins also liked to make their killings public and Ubisoft has had no qualms about openly writing that Robert de Sable or William of Montferrat were killed by Assassins. Hell, William should not have even been in AC1, it should have been Conrad, the then king of Jerusalem. Almost king anyway. So who knows. I think you have a great point in wanting it to be set at that location and time period. I really want them to go back in time for AC3. I like the more ancient time settings. Maybe they could go back to 1118 and do something with the very creation of the Templars. Also, I wonder if they will ever explain how the Templars managed to survive Pope Urban II and his total and utter destruction of the Order. And I also wonder who they will make the current (Desmond's time) Master of the Order. Will it be Obama? Nah, the Templars definitely seem a bit more right wing to me lol.

He died a month short of his 33rd birthday, IIRC. The cause of his death is still argued over today. Some say it was exhaustion combined with the sheer amount of battle wounds he received (he fought on the front line with his men, so he was just as beat up as they were, if not more), others say he was poisoned. I honestly don't believe he would have stopped his conquests in life and that only death was capable of putting an end to his ambitions. I have great respect for Alexander, but there's no doubting how much of a megalomaniac he was.

I feel the same way about him. He definitely had a Piece of Eden.

Or the genes of a god...

I just realized that I made a mistake. Pope Urban II did not destroy the Order. He was the one who preached the first crusade I think. Pope Clement V is the corrupt pope that destroyed the Order.
