****ing hypocrite much?

I don't buy multiplat titles on ps3 because none of my friends play on ps3. Why the **** would I buy a game best played with friends on a system I cant play with my friends? I play a vastly diverse amount of **** than you ever have or ever will, so don't drop fanboy comments on me when you're the absolute worst example of one.

Watch out, he might send you a PM about driving members away.

So, I guess it takes place during the American Revolution and stars a Native American assassin. Tomahawk assassinations sound beast!



I'm REALLY glad they took a complete left turn with the setting. Say what you want about enjoying AC2-2 and AC2-3, those games felt stale as f*ck and made my interest in a new title in the series drop to zero. That changes with such a radical setting change. Excited to see more about this now.

Lookin forward to more info. Will be gettin this issue

I'm not even gonna lie, this looks just incredible. I'm already sold on the setting alone. I was wondering when the next one would take place, and they threw me completely off with this announcement. I wanna flintlock someone in the face!

I'm pretty excited for the tomahawk, too. And I think a bow is cooler than a crossbow.

I've had Zero interest since Revelations was announced, but this perks it up a little. I was really hoping for it to take place in Feudal Japan, but kinda gave up on that idea a while back. This seems pretty cool.

More "leaked" AC3 stuff. Screens that make it look like both a completely different game (all the outdoor wilderness stuff) and a screen that makes it seem EXACTLY like the other game with a new paint job.

Might put in the preorder

a trailor is up:

The trailer is pretty sweet. Now I hear there's going to be 4-player co-op/multiplayer? I'm not sure which, but that's pretty ridiculous. It's a shame that AC will probably always have the same type of gameplay, which is fine, but can get rather stale. They should've slowed down with the releases. They caught that Call of Duty bug, unfortunately.

I agree, but it's more justifiable than Call of Duty. Assassin's Creed is actually telling a story and is trying to wrap up this big picture they have going before the end of 2012. This game has actually been in development for 3 years so it's not really rushed like Call of Duty games are. I'd have more respect for the Call of Duty series if it weren't for Treyarch. Having a second developer copy and paste Infinity Ward's work just proves how money hungry Activision is. And yeah, after a few games I'm sure the gameplay is getting stale, but at least they add improvements and adjustments along the way. And hopefully this new setting makes for a change in the gameplay. But Call of Duty's physics feel rather cheap and the knife animations have been lame for a very long time. Who knows, maybe after they wrap this story up, Assassin's Creed won't be a yearly thing anymore.

I know this probably doesn't really fall into the subject of this topic, but I didn't think making another topic for this would be necessary. Also, sorry if this has already been said, but it seems the Wii Version of Sonic 4: Episode 2 has been canceled. The 360 and PS3 Version's still seem ok. There still isn't a release date though.

I don't think the Wii version of Ep2 was "cancelled" so much as it was just never announced. Sega figured they just wanted to focus on the "viable" platforms. I'd expect this Ep. will now be in HD as well, since they don't have to worry about accommodating the poor Wii.

Perhaps they are planning a re-release on the Wii U though.

Without getting too into that debate, which I've already chimed in on in other threads, I will say that had the last AC game been Assassin's Creed 2, I'd be hyped through the roof right now. Ubisoft would have way less money though, so I suppose they win.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well i guess i'll get it on 360 then

[TheCanadiandrome]

Anyone preorder yet? I just did today!

[Redeemer]

I am currently playing through Revelations and I am rather dissapointed in it right now..... The multiplayer took a step back.
The gameplay feels restrictive and overcomplicated, the game doesnt flow as well as the previous.
To me revelations took a step back from Brotherhood.
Brotherhood was my favorite of the series, but I am glad we r finally getting a new assassin!!!!

Since this is as close as we get to a news thread in this section - what the f*ck?



I can't believe after all this time we finally get the full story on Gerstmann-gate and that this actually happened. Giant Bomb is easily the best video game website ever created, so I'm slightly apprehensive about the change. Seeing stuff like this is making me feel like I've been transported back to 2006. Remember when Gamespot was f*cking relevant? MAN! I was still at my first real job!
