dylanjosh Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 More Game Informer details First, this is not AC3. This game is supposed to clear up all the questions thusfar and bring a closing to the stories of "current characters". The game takes place in Constantinople at the beginning of the 16th century. The city is ripe with Templar activity and they fiercely battle the Ottoman. The city is said to be bigger and more populated than Rome, and will be split up into 4 large districts. You will once again be in the shoes of Ezio, who is now in his 50s. The game starts with Ezio going to Masyaf, the home of Altair in AC1, to look for information on Altair and the Creed. Ezio discovers that Masyaf has been overrun by Templars and after doing some investigating he learns of an extremely powerful artifact hidden inside of Masyaf. To get to it, he must find 5 ancient seals in order to gain access to it, however the Templars are also going after it. Ezio will make new friends, such as Suleiman, Yusuf Azim who is also a master assassin, and Sofia Sorto* who makes Ezio question what his life would be like if he had never had to become an assassin. The Seals that Ezio seeks will also give you a glimpse of Altair's life and you will get a chance to play as Altair during these small sessions. Ezio will of course have an all new arsenal, but two of the main things are the new Hookblade, which will be attached to the hidden blade and allow Ezio to climb faster, grab enemies, ride on zip lines, and be 150% more badass. It's basically just a small blade with a curved end. There will be random missions, such as a merchant being robbed or a woman being assaulted that you can choose to do something about or just leave alone. The game is using Mocam which is the same technology being used by L.A. Noire The cinematic camera is also being changed. Desmond is in a coma from the end of Brotherhood, and the two assassins who find him put him back into an animus, as such he is basically trapped inside his own mind. Players will play as Desmond as he tries to reconstruct his mind and wake back up. Through doing this, players will also get a look into Desmond's past life. Desmond is basically looking for a "nexus" of where him, Ezio, and Altair all come together and why they do. Finally, multiplayer will return but they promise it will be much better. Multiplayer will now be more story-driven to allow players to get a more in-depth view of the Templars and what they stand for. There is a new gamemode that will involve mutliplayer story quests. There will be more customization and more characters as well. *Sofia Sorto - Maybe she'll carry Ezio's child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 ^^ Desmond becoming a proper assassin maybe? And then a Desmond trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanjosh Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Link to an interview about Multiplayer. Also has 2 images of artwork. ONOES, I accidently indirectly linked to Game Informer scans. ^ I read the scans just now and I highly recommend it to anyone who's having doubts over this game. At least look at the game screenshots in the scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 ^^ Desmond becoming a proper assassin maybe? And then a Desmond trilogy. I was hoping they would move out of the time period into a more modern one. Like AC mixed with maybe Conviction or something along those lines. It would be ace charting out your path, avoiding well armed enemies taking them out silently or with your arsenal of smaller weapons. Kinda like The Saboteur, only better.

Kinda like The Saboteur, only better. no please. a big part of the appeal of assassins creed is to be able to play out portions of history. there are enough 3rd person shooters out there, we don't need one of the few unique games left to become just like every other.

Tyler Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think eventually they will have to move to a modern era. And yeah I'm totally cool with a highly polished version of The Saboteur. That game was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this would not be a conventional TPS. And TBH Brotherhood was not that unique. It was just like AC 2.5 I'm not saying I don't enjoy AC games but they need to change it up a bit.

It was just like AC 2.5 I'm not saying I don't enjoy AC games but they need to change it up a bit. assassins creed in itself is completely unique. tell me which other open world game lets you free roam in jerusalem at the time of the crusades or a faithfully recreated renaissance italy? or for that matter, tell me any game that is set in history and lets you play as an assassin weaving real events and people into an interesting sci fi story? ac:b might have been ac2.5 but to say it wasn't unique is just wrong. i liked the saboteur but i don't want assassins creed to become like it. if i want a 3rd person action game, i have a lot of choices. if i want a world war 2 shooter, i have a lot of choices. if i want an open world action adventure, i have a lot of choices. but there is nothing like assassins creed out there, so i definitely don't want them to make it into a clone of existing games.

spindoctor Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 But you know they're going to anyway right? eventually, yea. it will end with desmond being an assassin i guess. but we don't have to hope for them to do it right now do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just maybe we'll have one game set in modern times. The biggest draw of the series remains the epic historical locations and time periods. Completely agree with your prev post.. and I don't see the mechanics they have in place right now work in a modern world setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanjosh Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Interview with Creative Director Comes across as a nice fellow. Doesn't have that child-like excitement that Patrice had though. Watch the interviews guys. They're pretty interesting. Here's a direct quote from the starting of the 2nd interview "As we're getting closer and closer to the actual 2012 marker, the franchise is concluding it's major opus" So the next game, in 2012 might put an end to Desmond's story.
