Assassin's Creed: Revelations Shows Up On Facebook, Suddenly Disappears

Despite having no details on what this game will be I'm still insanely excited. Every entry into the franchise thus far has been superb although I wish they would go back to having a structure more similar to the original AC, it needed refinement, not disposal.

Assassin's Creed is avoiding being run into the ground because they're clearly making it their top priority and giving it the resources it needs.  Also (and probably more importantly) because there aren't two or three other companies out there just putting out blatant AC clones.

The market can probably handle one AC game a year because there's still not a whole lot out there like it.  It's when you end up with a handful of very similar games coming out per year that franchises start to suffer for it.  The mainstream audience gets confused about what they're supposed to be buying, and people buying all of them just get burned out on it.

" Should we just stop numbering sequels?  After 2 it just sounds kinda dumb, and often all it does is make a lot of potential customers think they can't enjoy the game if they haven't played every game before it.

Story: I tried but I could not give a shit, sorry, and it didn't seem like Ubisoft could either.

I could go for some more AC right about now :P

" @Grissefar: How can you say AC2 was a dissapointment?The first one was a hit or miss, an original title but with lots of repetitive design.So I don't see why anyone would of been hyped for a sequel.People just wanted to see if they could improve I don't know what kind of wild expectations you had.Although now that I've played Brotherhood I can say it is leaps and bounds more better in story and gameplay terms.Graphics were improved too.Oh and as much as I loved the PoP series(the original, but from what I heard the 08 version is similar to the classic ones just really easy and with cel shaded graphics)I doubt they will return to it anytime soon.They had a chance to do something with The Forgotten Sands but it turned out sub par.AC is their money maker and they still have lots of story to work with. "

Climbing: slow and sluggish, when I expected it to be quick like Infamous or flashy like PoP 08.Combat: slow and sluggish, when I want either responsive and challenging like Ninja Gaiden or slow and flashy like PoP 08.Story: I tried but I could not give a shit, sorry, and it didn't seem like Ubisoft could either.It's might not help that I didn't play/compare it to AC1, which is supposedly a bigger shit. Such is the human mind. "

I hope thier Revelation was that we need more than just one Assassin's Creed Game a year because I cant get enouth of this series.

Not to mention that as much as i... adore, AC2, nothing beats AC1's theme and setting. they effing nailed the grim crusades feel.

Hope Ubisoft is making ACIII,Desmond's story and the trilogy needs to be wrapped up.If it's a spin-off it should be either about Altair or a completely different team of Assassin's not involved with Desmond.

" God damnit AC2 was a huge disappointment, so why would I want another game in this piece of shit series? Just give me another PoP 08 before everyone else begins to hate Ezio too. "

if assasin's creed starts pulling a kingdom hearts and just make a bunch of spin offs than im gonna be pissed!!

cant wait to find out more.

uh uh uh uh stabbin dudes all day long.

What? Compared to AC1, it's almost unanimously agreed that AC2 was a huge improvement. "

They did just start the campaign Patrick, i'm not sure if you haven't seen it back up or not but it has officially gone up.  http://www.facebook.com/assassinscreed?sk=app_150031305061905 It's asking to spread the word to reveal it and it has an activity meter to gauge how much it has been spread. It's currently at 2%

Stabbing faces and/or necks on facebook?

Damn, Patrick is a pro.

Please move away from the bars and do not feed our trolls, they can and will bite you.

Now, in all seriousness I hope this is not set in Italy again, I am aching for new environments!

Don't care for the subtitle, but I'll play just about anything Assassin's Creed at this point.

" Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh! "

Assassins Creed is magic. A clown told me.

I hope this has a new setting and main character. Don't get me wrong, I love Italy and Ezio, but after two big games in that era I think it's time to move on. I also hope they start dealing with some of the threads in this crazy story they're weaving (this is called Revelations, so hopefully that's the case). There are lots of little details regarding the overall AC universe in the games if you're looking for them, which I really like, but I feel they're being a bit too ambiguous with the direction of a lot of their story threads. I know they have to save some of those reveals for AC3, but I have so many questions about what is going on in the overall AC story arc and I really would like them to start answering some of them.

REVELATIONS: RECKONING - ORIGINS

" uh uh uh uh stabbin dudes all day long. "

I really hope they don't run out of ideas from making these so frequently. Assassin's Creed has been a consistently great franchise and I want them to stay that way.

If this doesn't involve running around as Desmond in a modern day city, I will be disappoint.

Not shocked really, they did say that there would be some announcement in May. Though I think a lot of fans were predicticting it to be Assassin's Creed 3 then another spin-off. 

Revelations in 2011, AC3 in 2012 to coincide with the timeline of Desmond -- makes pretty good sense for marketing and hype (so long as Revelations is good)

" I want to play as Kristen Bell, damn it! Even though... you know. "

Since there is no number associated with this, I imagine a portable game.

Fingers crossed for a new ancestor/time period.

Current rumours seem to think it will either be focused around Altair or one of his sons in Asia, the idea being a sequel to AC1 spin off.

" Current rumours seem to think it will either be focused around Altair or one of his sons in Asia, the idea being a sequel to AC1 spin off. "

A direct sequel to AC1 is about the least interesting direction they could go.

I watched a 20 second teaser on GT and for a split second there was some Arabic writing, if you pause just right you can read it backwards: AlTaïr Ibn La Ahad. 

I don't get why people want AC to end... I WANT MORE!

I just hope that in the new game there are actual story revelations outside the animus that aren't just bookended at the start and end of the game. I know that playing outside the animus sucks, but it doesn't mean there can't be cutscenes to keep me interested.

<sarcasm>Man, they totally aren't running this series into the ground. </sarcasm>

I'll actually be kind of disappointed if this isn't 3...the sidestory stuff is cool but I wanna see how this turns out.

                    @Metal_Mills: Do that, if you dig third person action games and are intrigued by the trailers go for it. The series is very cool, def start with AC2.

                   

                "

if you encourage people to start with AC2, you're a bad person and i dislike you :(
            "

Well AC1 was good in terms of concept, but bad in terms of putting that concept into actual practicality.

And while I did personally like what it did I think that put simply it could've been much, much, much better. As in AC2 better.

So I also support the advice of starting the series from AC2, because not everybody has the time to play every game, so the games do play should be really good, and really fun/emersive or both.

but but but...

If this is in Italy I hardly care.

I can't get enough of sandboxing in Renaissance Italy. The more the merrier. Keep'em comin'!
