So excited for reals. I haven't quite finished up Brotherhood yet, but I'm hoping to before this one comes out.

Getting more excited for this game despite the fact that I wish it was AC3 instead

@UKSamwise: I know, but I still can't shake the feeling that Brotherhood and Revelations were one full game that Ubisoft divided.

But will Ubisoft finally move on from their Ezio-Altair-Desmond "memory" triangle?

You are aware that Ezio is Italian...... right?

You are aware that Altair had an "American accent" in the first game..... right?

@yogetoutdaway said:

Man, fuck these fake Italian accents. What's the point of them anyway, it's not like Renaissance Italians spoke English. Why not just speak normal English so the drama can come across instead of the uncanny valley voicework?

They want the game to feel exotic without forcing players to read subtitles. They choose an accent that fits the "feel" of the game. You're in ancient times in locales on the other side of the world, if everyone walked around speaking with a generic American, Jersey, or Cajun accent it would be difficult to suspend disbelief. So far it's worked for me and likely the vast majority of others who played AC2 and Brotherhood.

Thats a long fall!

Hell yeah it is! And his old age ass just stuck the landing. Maybe this Assassin's creed game won't have fall damage :-/

Still excited for the game, but I actually yelled out at the ridiculousness.

Unbelievably keen for this game, I've never been one for pre-ordering but the animus edition's inclusion of that dictionary/encyclopedia thing is too good to pass up.

Any suggestions as to the best one? There are like five different pre-order 'editions' -I know the encyclopedia only comes with the animus edition already.

@Aishan: I agree. Also, when I watch a trailer I want to know how the game is gonna be, not an event that's gonna happen in the game. Why spoil the surprise of an event of the game in the trailer or the 20 sec intro?

How do you know all this is going to happen?  Remember the Assassins Creed 2 E3 trailer?

Old Ezio doesn't sound old enough, doesn't bug me that much but for a guy who's pushing 50 he sure does sound like hes 30.

This has bugged me in every trailer and gameplay video where Ezio speaks.

November is too crowded for this to be a day 1 purchase. I'll already be fully engrossed with Skyrim, and after that I'll want to play the new Saints Row. I'll pick this up in December/January when it's $40, like I did with Brotherhood.

I don't care how "cool" that signature Edition is, I'm not pre-ordering/buying anything from Gamestop. I'll just buy this stuff when it eventually released as DLC. Just like I've done up to this point.

And a bunch of VO explaining why he's there. Yeah, the visuals are the same, but I think this still counts as a "new" trailer.

I love that trailer to death but that was a bit of a let down. He just pulls his hands out of the ropes just like that? Maybe he uses his other hidden blade to cut it but it's too fast?

Either way I still despise Ezios voice but happy to know I'll get to play as Altair again.

@LoktarOgar: I don't really think that's fair. Other than the crossbow in the original AC trailer, the other cinematics have been pretty representative of what you can actually do in game, albeit in a different circumstance than what's shown.

Take the AC:B one for example, it's actually pretty good at showing off some of the features: the assassin's helping out Ezio from afar, silent throwing dagger kills, counter-attacking the guard off the horse, and of course ending with a group of assassins fighting alongside him. Sure, that encounter with Cesare never actually occured in-game in the way in was shown, but it was a good example of what Ezio is actually capable of in-game.

The crossbow is a big part of it, but mostly I'm just talking about the actual events in the trailers themselves. Like the carnival secret stabbing -> chase -> shooting of that guy in the AC2 trailer (although I will admit there was a carnival shooting in 2, and a carnival stabbing in Brotherhood, but it just wasn't the same), or Altair killing one of the main templars in a trailer from 1.
 
Also, it annoys the hell out of me that they never include those trailers with the actual games. The crossbow one from 1 was, poorly compressed, at least used as the intro movie, but others, like the templar meeting, and all the ones from the sequels...

This trailer was so much better with the original music. Still, great animation, lighting, shot design. Top notch as always.

I agree with you. The AC trailers tend to just show stuff you actually do, but in a different scenario. It's part of what makes them so good. You can watch this trailer and know you'll probably do most of this stuff.

The original had much more tension than one with an actual ending.. And of course he safelands from 6 stories above.
