Assassin's Creed Revelations

[Kyo]

New game leaked and outed. Was supposed to be revealed this month. Has been blowing up twitter all day. There will be a full reveal in GameInformer next month. I'll update this when some material is released.

Tired of back-to-back installments of Assassin's Creed? Alright, how about a new game that puts temporally separated protagonists Ezio and Altair back to back on the June issue of Game Informer? The mag's scoop for the month is Assassin's Creed: Revelations, which is set to conclude Ezio's story this November.

Revelations promises answers (right there in the title) within the game's cryptic, multi-generational plot, spread out between three playable characters: A distinguished Ezio, who heads to Constantinople amid the rise of the Ottoman Empire; Altair; and the descendant who ties them all together, Desmond.

- Ezio is looking for seals in Revelations. These seals hold the memories of Alair. They'll allow Ezio to peek into Altair's life (just as Desmond uses Animus to peek into his ancestors lives).
- You'll control Altair through these sequences.
- The bulk of the game is set in Constantinople which will be split into 4 huge districts (Constantin, Beyazid, Imperial and Galata)
- You'll also visit Cappadocia
- Ezio is over 50 years old in this game
- Ezio has a new item called the hookblade which allows him to use ziplines throughout the city. UBI says that it speeds up navigation by about 30%
- You can also use the hookblade to reach out and pull enemies in for a combo
- Ezio can now make bombs through a crafting system. UBI says that there are over 300 bomb types
- They've modified the control scheme so that circle/B will control the hookblade and triangle/Y will control project weapons and bombs
- Eagles vision has become eagle sense. "Eagle sense let's you focus on a character and see where he's been," Amancio says. "You'll get an approximation of where he will go. If you're able to detect the path a guard will take, you can run ahead, set a bomb, and create a trap or an ambush."
- They've expanded on the Borgia Towers concept in order to create a new system. Throughout the city there are Assassin's Den's, you'll need to complete various assault scenarios in order take down the Templar presence (UBI says that there's more variety than in the Borgia Towers). Once you obtain a den you'll be able to upgrade the buildings in that region along with adding ziplines across the rooftops. You'll also be able to change the guards from being hostile to neutral.
- You can lose control of you dens as you gain notoriety. You'll be able to send your own troops after the templars if you're unable to make it back to the specific den that's being attacked. You can do that by making it to any of the other dens that you currently control. You'll also be able to install a master assassin to control a specific den and you'll never have to worry about it being taken over.
- The assassin leveling mechanic has been increased from 10 to 15
- In order to make the world more immersive they've done away with traditional side missions in favor of random events. For example you may be traveling through a city and notice a shop owner being robbed or a little girl asking for help
- They're using a new type of capture facial technology called Mocam that GI describes as an "intriguing amalgamation of traditional animation, performance capture and the fascinating new style of performance on display in games like LA Noire."
- Desmond is placed back inside Animus where he finds a safe mode called the 'Black Room'. You'll be able to access Desmond's lost memories through that back door
- The gameplay during Desmond's game is described as narrative-fueled puzzle sequences. "Through the manipulation and creation of geometry with the game world, Desmond seeks to reintegrate the splintered layers of his subconscious."
- Multiplayer is returning but this time they're trying to give more focus to the narrative since that's a big part of AC
- You'll be able to custom your character appearance and weapons as well as create guilds.

Hot cockboner material.


WHAT A REVELATION.

[warc]

Skipped 1, played 2 and brotherhood. AC just wouldn't be AC without Ezio. Hopefully it will have a main protag besides Desmond. As much as I like Nolan North, Desmond just seems boring to me, and the bloodline stuff is pretty interesting. Looking forward to more information.

[Doombard]

Well maybe the first three games were someone in the future using an animus to go through desmond's memories.

[shidobu]

oooooooo

[AoE]

lol I've heard that shit too. Ugh Matrix/Inception all over again.

[Cichy]

Interesting, hopefully brotherhood will go down in price. Btw for those who played it how was it? I'm not interested in multiplayer at all just the regular missions.

If you liked 2 you'll like it. Its pretty much just 2 with a bunch of additional stuff.

no

Loved Brotherhood, it expands on the Rome story, they didnt hardly use it in 2 so it worked perfectly. continues Ezio's story and expands the series alot. Doesn't hurt there are even more things to do than in 2. As well as adds MP.

Don't discount the multiplayer without trying it. I have so much fun playing AC Brotherhood multiplayer. Much different online game experience from anything else. You have to spend time thinking about your approach and waiting patiently for your mark to walk by all while avoiding outing yourself to others.

[Tyrath]

no

He said he doesnt care about the MP. Other than that it IS just 2 with additional gameplay elements. Which is not a bad thing because I loved both games.

[Kyo]

Totally neglecting the setting, but not worth arguing over. Game is really fucking good and had alot of great improvements to what they built upon in 2.

[ArchDizzle]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!

no

^ And this all the way, 2 was great but Brotherhood made it damn near perfect.

[AoE]

Solo gameplay was pretty solid.

Once I fully understood the multiplayer, I became so addicted because getting good depends on how much you can fuck with people's heads using the tools given to you in the game. I sold it a few months ago but I want to pick it back up.

[Kyo]

OP updated.

I like Ezio alot, so I am super excited.

[Greedouw]

Was really hoping this would take place in Ancient Rome =(

But hey, I'll take Constantinople

/historynerd

[warc]

Ezio/Altair....

[AoE]

Hopefully Altair isn't played by Anakin Skywalker in this version. I personally think Atair is more badass than Ezio but Ezio is a lot more likeable in general.

[Pro]

Pretty psyched. Each entry to the series has been markedly better than the prior, which is rare for sequels. Can't wait to see where the story takes us.
