spindoctor Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Completely new to the AC series and have been on the wall since last few months whether to get in/not into AC world. I've played AC1 on PC when it launched and I din really enjoy playing the game - felt that the most of the missions are monotonous at times with lot of jouney on the horses. Does the story pick up after a while ? After reading some threads about AC - I am assuming that I din give the game much time before I came to a conclusion. Which one should I start with ? (Do I HAVE to play AC1 / Can I kickoff with AC2 on PS3/360) skip ac1 and jump directly into ac2. it is easily the most improved sequel i have ever played. ac1 is a dull and boring and monotonous game while ac2 is pure magic. the stories are only peripherally connected anyway, so you can just read the wikipedia summary of ac1 and be done with it.

dabba Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 yea do what spinny suggested... i tried to play ac1 first... it was very boring... but ac2 is something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 AC1 was special in its own right. I loved the atmosphere it created. The gameplay did suck though, but the main assassinations are amazing. These are missing in both AC2 and ACB unfortunately. Keano, if you can, try to be done with AC1 quickly, since you already have the game. It's got a good story, plus it's easily the most difficult of the AC games. They keep getting easier with each installment. Plus, finishing AC1 will make you appreciate AC2 even more. Do not however, start straight with ACB.

Yeah True..The main assassination missions in AC1 were far more intense and required more planning, making it better than the main missions in AC2,Acb..

dylanjosh Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 New trailer Ezio artwork. Ezio in snow. Screenshot. So it pretty much confirms snow. Altair Altair going to rescue what looks like Al Mualim. So some Altair sequences may be set even before AC1 begins? Cool Ezio Altair artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaka_messi Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Assassin's Creed: Revelations has old Ezio reliving the memories of young Altair and trying his hand at bombcrafting. In Assassin's Creed: Revelations, a grizzled Ezio leaves Italy behind to seek out Altair's secrets in Constantinople and Masyaf. He is hunting down the five keys of Altair's Library of Masyaf--relics which, it turns out, each function like an Animus, allowing Ezio to skip back through time to relive the memories of his fellow assassin. So you're playing as Desmond, playing as Ezio, playing as Altair. Still with us? Ezio recovers one of these keys from Leandros, a sneering Templar captain with a scarred mug and plated mail armour. This is the guy who tries to hang Ezio in the debut trailer, and who Ezio assassinates atop a tower in the snowbound Masyaf fortress. The fortress is overrun with Leandros' forces, a Byzantine faction of Templars, who suffer death by hidden blade, naturally, but also by various explosives, each created in Revelations' new bombcrafting system. The system is accessed via bombcrafting stations set up around cities by the Assassin Order, which the developer likens to the pigeon coops used to manage your team of assassin trainees in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Here, players can use ingredients looted from chests, such as caltrops and shrapnel, to create bombs in three categories: lethal, tactical, and diversion. Bombs are built by combining a shell material, a gunpowder material, and an "effect" material. Where the effect material is caltrops, for instance, the result is a caltrop bomb, which Ezio can use to scatter the spiked balls in the path of a pursuer. Where the effect material is shrapnel, the result is a shrapnel bomb--a grenade, in effect. Other bomb types include small explosive devices to produce loud, guard-distracting bangs, and tripmine bombs, ideal for planting traps for patrolling enemies. We're glad to see the endless bric-a-brac looted from chests and enemies in Brotherhood being put to better use. The proliferation of bomb types in Revelations also gives rise to a second weapon wheel. Players now choose their primary weapon from the first and their bomb of choice from the second, though each can still be mapped to the directional pad for quick, in-battle selection. Besides taking up bombcrafting in his old age, grey-bearded Ezio has honed his eagle vision--the mode that gave coloured auras to enemies and objectives--into full eagle sense. With this advanced version of the skill, Ezio can track and foresee a target's path, all the better for tailing and chasing victims. There is the odd verbal nod to Ezio's advanced years ("This used to be so easy," he grumbles, finishing a climb), but otherwise the Florentine assassin seems as mobile as ever--maybe more so, with the addition of the hookblade, the modified hidden blade that enables zipline use and acrobatic combat moves. And then from elderly Ezio to postadolescent Altair. In the Gamescom demo, we see the aforementioned key relic transport Ezio back in time into the memories of young Altair, to events before the start of the first Assassin's Creed. Here, at the Masyaf assassin base of the first game, the fresh-faced Altair has been betrayed by a former ally, an armoured crusader who has taken Altair's mentor and assassin cohorts hostage. Cue a spell of classic Assassin's Creed free-running and high-dive-style kills, back in the familiar assassin castle setting of much of the original Assassin's Creed. It ends with Altair's mentor musing about how quickly his mentee has grown up. "You fit your father's shoes as if they had been tailored to your feet," he says, referring to Altair's assassin father. The five keys that let Desmond, as Ezio, nip back in time to revisit Altair might be a contrivance, but it's one that's worthwhile, drawing the franchise's three leads and three timelines together for what we hope will be a fitting finale. A finale, that is, for Ezio--Ubisoft sees Revelations as the last part of his trilogy. Look out for it in November. The new tripmine bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potatoman Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 also the video does not have many spoilers few gameplay improvements though, they seem to be have included some sort of slow mo kill animation if you chain few kills and they show how the crafting works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Oh my f**king f**k, that demo looks awesome. Nice visual upgrade. Love the music! Love the setting. The bomb making screen looks nice. Altair looks awesome as well! I like Altair's new accent. It's the same VA from AC1, but he doesn't sound completely American this time. Which is great. I also like how Altair was talking about his dad. They're making more of an effort to flesh out his character I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
