Reasons why Assassin's Creed will pwn!


Over at Assassin's Haven they put together a quick list of five reasons why that not-so-PS3-exclusive Assassin's Creed will rock your socks. Not only are the crowd dynamics amazing, but Altair (the assassin you play) is how Assassin's Haven puts it, " badass". Soon we'll be able to pull out our switchblade, cut some throats, and run around in the Crusades era ... who's pumped about this one?

The only thing that could make me want this one even more is if I found out Rabbids were playable characters.

It's an original idea with what promises to be an engrossing storyline, I mean, even in the E3 Demo you knew there was more to the story than just your average bear with that little tidbit at the end.

In short, this game looks delicious.

This game looks good, but as with any game I have to play it first to really get excited about it. With the amount of glitches per game that MS releases, until I get some solid reviews, I can't trust new games.

*YAWN* Sorry but with the exception of maybe Uno or Holdem XBLA is not interesting enough to hold my interest.

There is fanboy and there is jerk. Stop pounding people over the head with the games that used to be PS3 exclusives. Say it once have a good laugh and get excited about the game.

On that note I am eagerly waiting for this game on whichever system I get. This is looking to be a/the "cool" game that is fluid, fun, and awsome with a good story.

This game does indeed look quite superb.
In his list, he failed to mention that your character (Altair) will be able to grab on to anything that extrudes over an inch in the game,
this I believe is an important fact since no other game has even attempted to do such a thing;
making for an extremely new experience.

The creators also said that there would be more intelligent A.I. for the 360 version of the game due to it's abillity to handle such algorithms better than the PS3; which I believe can be a deciding factor.

They also said that the story-line is going to have quite an unexpected twist to it.
My predictions, based on one of the trailers which has a technological flickering going on at the beginning almost like a video-camera or sum-such, is...... Time-Travel.
I'm sure if you're a time traveler trying to change the past, or prevent the changing of the past, or you're native to that time and discover
plot to change the past by people from the furure.
I'm not certain if any of this is true, but it would be cool and would also explain the trailer with the camera-like flickering going on.

I've heard the time travel theory before, and it certainly seems plausible.

I really hope the Hashashin angle isn't what it appears to be on the surface, because they don't seem to have any basis in history. The Hashashin weren't ninja-like warriors, they were religious fanatics that killed in broad daylight with the full expectation they would be killed by guards or mobs. Not a single Hashashin ever survived to kill even a second target, let alone nine. Their skill had nothing to do with why they inspired terror in their enemeies, it was their religous fanaticism. Further, they were more often allied with than against the Crusaders. The real Hashashin are far more interesting than some group of peace-loving wannabe ninjas.

I'm really looking forward to this game because I think the setting is so fascinating. I just hope they don't carelessly dismiss historical facts when they *don't need to*, ala Hollywood (I'm looking at you Ridley Scott).

this game looks amazing, I was so thrilled when they announced 360 development of this! It looks like a completely different game compared to anything that's out there. Games that stand out from the pack tend to get my notice.
