Introduction for the noobs
Overview:
"The game takes place during the Third Crusade, exact year 1191. The gamer plays as a member of the assassin sect Hashshashin known as Altaïr (Arabic, "The Flyer") whose objective is to assassinate the nine historical figures who are propagating the Crusades, and the suffering of the people. As the gamer finds and kills these targets, their conspiracy is unveiled. The player will be able to travel through three cities, Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus. The environment is completely interactive, from the people to the historically accurate cities. These cities are populated by many people and the way the player controls Altaïr affects how people around him react to his presence. For example, when going through a crowd, if the player lightly moves someone out of the way, it will not have a significant effect. However, if the player throws someone to the ground and kills them, the crowd may unite against him and he will then have to find a way out. Similarly, if the player shoves a person aside, they may shove him back. If he climbs walls, civilians will gather around, attracting unwanted attention from guards.
Gameplay lolo
"One of the most talked about features of the game is the ability to get around the game world. Influenced by the Parkour phenomenon and its freedom of movement, the player will be able to grab onto and climb "any object that sticks out more than 2 inches", which means exploration of the cities, rooftops, etc. will be possible on a greater scale than in any previous game. The game will also be completely free-roaming, which has led to comparisons with Grand Theft Auto, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Shadow of the Colossus, and other games.Another feature is the intuitive control scheme. Assassin's Creed will employ a new idea that can best be compared to playing marionette of puppeteers to Altair's actions. Developer Jade Raymond states, "What I really like about this concept was that once you understand the controls, you know how to play the game. You don't ever have to look at what the button combinations are. You can invent them as you go along." On the PS3 controller, the left analog stick will control movement, and the right will control the camera. However the actual buttons are quite different from normal. X will correspond to the feet, Square will dictate arm movement with weapons, Circle will use the character's arms without weapons, and Triangle uses his head. Also, one of the right triggers will act as a shift between violent and gentle intensities. Here are some examples of each:
In Game Fighting.
In Game Fighting.
If the player just uses the left analog stick by itself he will run, but if he holds the intensity button with it, he will walk. Also, if there is a person in front of Altaïr, the player can press the arms without weapons button (Circle) and violently shove them out of the way. Holding the intensity button will gently move them out of the way. While navigating the rooftops and seeing a set of overhanging building struts, the player can hold X and jump from each one to the other. Or he can press Circle and grab one and swing to each. When the player approaches a low wall he has many choices on what to do. If the player run towards it and presses the legs button (X), then he will hurdle it. As an alternative, the player can press the arms without weapons (Circle), then he will throw his arms down and vault it. When walking around the crowded areas, the player may hear groups speaking the native tongue of the city. The player can press Triangle to hear the conversation translated, as Altair is multilingual. There is also an "intuition" mode that displays Altair's target as surrounded by a bright aura, thus making them easier to single out."
Inovation:It has to bring something new,Amirite?
"Assassin's Creed aims to bring a new kind of gameplay to the next-gen console experience: that of "social stealth". Crowds, as previously mentioned, play a large part in the gameplay of Assassin's Creed. They can be either a help or a hindrance to Altair. In one segment, Altair blended in with a group of priests in order to get closer to his victim. This was possible because Altair looked very similar to the white-robed priests. After Altair's target was assassinated in full view of a busy town square, the crowd erupted into chaos. The developer from Ubisoft mentioned that running into a mob could get Altair knocked to the ground, thus allowing his pursuers to catch him"
And More!...
Release date:When its Do-I mean 2007
Platforms?:Xbox 360 PS3 And PC.

Seriously...
Outside of that, I'm there.
The Asian/Japan releases of this will have a special edition that involves a large action figure, wonder if that's actually going to make it here.
Hence why the game over screen is digital, and the scan lines in the trailer.
Either its some huge Matrix type construct, or its time travel. Which would make this already ridiculously cool game even cooler, like imagine using technology as a tool of fear (eg, shooting your target)
From the videos, it looks like it's "free roaming" in the sense that you can use any means to complete your objective.
If I remember correctly it had to do with DNA holding memory and the people of the future are unlocking a hidden memory from a DNA of certain someone.
The story probably progresses as they unlock more memories.

I think its only free roaming in the sense that an entire town or city or suburb of it is generated per mission, like thief, and you can run around however you like to complete your objective. I doubt it's the simplified world freeroaming of gta. I would hate that, because it'd reduce the level of complexity they could put into each mission. The way they are talking about it makes me think of thief's levels only bigger.
I'd heard it was just some descendent of this uber-assassin reading up on his ancestor, essentially.
But either way, all the same result. Future-dudes looking in on past-dude.
From what they hinted at, it's some sort of research/training program for future assassins. Later games would have almost identical gameplay but be set in totally different time periods.
yah.. the actress couldn't keep her secrets.
"It's actually really interesting to me. It's sort of based on the research that's sort of happening now, about the fact that your genes might be able to hold memory. And you could argue semantics and say it's instinct, but how does a baby bird know to eat a worm, as opposed to a cockroach, if its parents don't show it? And it's about this science company trying to, Matrix-style, go into peoples brains and find out an ancestor who used to be an assassin, and sort of locate who that person is."
could be very very interesting.

Something can be total bullshit and awesome at the same time though. See: Star Trek, Star Wars (original trilogy).
It's impressive sounding technobabble that allows for cool shit.
honestly, wish i wouldn't have read it.
offical site doesnt hint at all to that though, but its not something they would.
speaking of Jaded.
CANT HAVE AN ASSASSINS CREED THREAD WITH OUT A PICTURE OF LEAD DESIGNER JADE RAYMOND!
Edit: I wish this game wasn't so far away though, it seriously looks awesome.

It worked for Frank Herbert.
I'm looking forward to this more than pretty much any other title, though. Give me stealth action with co-op and I'm going to be a happy motherfucker. I close my eyes and this game is everything Deadly Shadows should've been, but with assassins.
To me, these two paragraphs contradict each other. It doesn't sound simplistic; it sounds complicated. I guess the Wii was made for me olol
Good.
So good.
From the interviews, it seems to be free roaming in the sense that you can do missions in any order, and completing missions for certain factions will end with you enlisting their aid in small ways later.
It doesn't seem like it's GTA open, but it's not Thief boxed-in either...
Edit: Also, one of the interviews (CGW maybe?) specifically talked about riding a horse between the three major cities in the game, with Oasis' towns and such lying around.
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970666737/
but yeah, hopefully this game can live up to the enormous hype its been getting.
this fall is going to be fuckall crazy for the 360. better start saving now kiddies.
i have every belief it will be the best platform-adventure type thing of the generation, like aformentioned game with a prince
I dunno.. the main dude* moved on to other things, and with the main dude missing, they are no better then Warrior's Within team.
*main dude.. the guy who wrote the story and stuff.. his name escapes me.

I thought the only problem with Warrior Within was "lawl emo"?
the whole darker turn happened after Mechner (figured out the name, haha) left to pursue other interested. emo doesn't even scratch the surface of WW's problems.
Mechner has some really good games under his belt. games like original Prince of Persia and the Last Express.

I love the look of the sword combat, no more repeated stabs to the chest, one misstep and its all she wrote. So much badassery in that video, blending in with monks, pushing the crowd, pulling civilians down behind you to slow attackers, destructible scenery. It's a thing of beauty
BTW last I heard this will be a trilogy, with the other two set in the future. I do not want to play this in the future. This is the perfect time setting. For some reason I picture some moron running around a generic blade-runner like city and not being as much fun.

Whatever. When it comes it will be awesome. Very awesome, even.
At least they are taking their time. And it shows cause this looks mega hot. Despite all the goofy PS3 EXCLUSIVE!! HERES A 360 VIDEO! stuff I mean..
I never asked for this!
(And yes, I would also feel uncomfortable in the converse situation.)
