Here's hoping this game doesn't have the entire top half of the screen whited out like Brotherhood.

Agreed. I passed on brotherhood becuase I had enough assassins creed for one year. Such a shame they are milking a pretty good franchise 
           
While the idea of yearly sequels may suck, I don't see how it is milking (as in negative) when Brotherhood was an outstanding game. Yearly sequels suck when its consequence is the production of bad games. So far, that hasn't happened to this franchise. Perhaps it will with this new game, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Milking a franchise has nothing to do with the quality of the games that are produced, it is the principal of making basically the same game year after year with minor changes. Brotherhood did get a big addition of multiplayer, which is a great step, but it is obvious this franchise is going the same route as COD. The games might be good, but that doesn't mean I want to play a new one every single year.

Off topic, but I hope we hear some E3 news about the Raiden watermelon game.

Is it me or does Ezio look like an old Vinny in that trailer?

I would have to disagree here.  If a game innovates with every single title then I don't think it is milking.  If a franchise only had a title released every three years but it was always the same, then that would be milking.  So far, AC has had significant improvements with every title, so thus far I don't think the main franchise has been milked.  Whether you want to play one every year or not is a personal choice, and whether the franchise goes down a bad path has yet to be seen.

@SSully: Unlike COD these games have a story arc and a continuing narrative.  It's completely unfair to compare the AC games to any other yearly franchise like COD or Madden.  IMO it's the equivalent of waiting for a new book to be released in a long series.  I want to see how Ezio's story plays out, especially after the cliffhanger endings of the last 2 games.  The game mechanic simply is the engine that drives the story... the introduction of new cities to traverse as well as new characters based off of historical figures is all I need for this game to remain fresh and propel the story to it's conclusion.

Every sequel they've put out so far has had enough feature additions or refinements of exisiting ones to be well worth my money, regardless of the turnaround time. They change about as much as your average blockbuster sequel, the only difference being that the team is big enough to do it quickly.
 
I guess a good amount of people just don't like yearly releases solely because of their frequency, and not necessarily due to lack of change. I have a feeling if they released these same games every two or three years people would be much less critical about iteration.

I'll play it. I'll probably even love it, but I'm ready for someone other than Ezio, even with Altair flashbacks.

QFT. I've had my fill of Ezio and Altair, I've been ready for new characters since Brotherhood truthfully. Also, I'd like to say that I'm really disappointed this wasn't the usual badass assassination trailer that they usually debut with. I know it says 'full trailer coming June 6th', but still.

@SSully: I don't mind yearly sequels if they're good and continue to progress the story. 
 
In fact, the more that I think about it, waiting sucks all around. Waiting in line for the roller coaster isn't fun. Waiting two or three years for the next Batman movie isn't fun.  I'm not complaining if publishers can push good games at me faster.
 
Sequels once a year aren't what's bad, it's when the sequels don't innovate on the previous installment-that's when the series becomes stale and boring.

Especially when Brotherhood did nothing but improve on 2 (trust me it's pretty great). I hate yearlies unless they're good. Brotherhood was great.

I'm going to disagree and agree with both of you. 
 
They are totally milking AC, and I'm okay with that for a couple of reasons:  
  1. It's a business, they have to make money  
  2. I think each AC game has been significantly better than the last  
  3. It means I get a new installment faster
I don't understand the complaints against having new installment once a year. Are you playing the game 24/7/365? I hope not. Instead, it's usually a couple of weeks with each new game, then you're on to the next.

@thornie: Call of Duty actually does have a story arc. Not many people believe it is a good story, but it is a continuous story from MW. Also I can appreciate you wanting to know more about the story, but a new book release and a new game release are very different. You get nothing but plot in a book. With a game you have to work through the set world with the set game mechanics to earn that story. It gets tedious playing a 20+ hour game every year with very similar gameplay mechanics just to get an average story arch. 
 
@Brendan
: Every call of duty game has had innovations in both single player and multiplayer since cod 4, yet it is almost synonymous with the term milking. Assassins Creed is starting to do the same thing. Expect a few small features for both single player and multiplayer in Revelations, nothing more. I don't get why call of duty gets bashed for being milked year and year, yet I am getting replies left and right from people claiming Assassins Creed is an exception to this title.  
 
@MariachiMacabre
: I believe it. I think the multiplayer looks outstanding, the whole cat and mouse dynamic seems to be a huge thrill. Maybe I am just in the minority where when Brotherhood was announced I just felt burnt out. I loved both the first and second AC games, but I couldn't pull myself to pick up brotherhood so soon.

I think that Assassin's Creed should stop being a yearly sequel. I remember them saying quite clearly that a new Assassin's Creed game (not including the spin-offs on DS, PSP, etc.) was not coming out this year. Was that a lie?

That was my reaction aswell to that line.  Supposedly Ubisoft has said this will have more answers than questions compared to the previous games but well see.  I don't expect EVERYTHING to be revealed but it will atleast fill in the gaps of what happened to Altair after AC1.

@Xanth93: Well they are probably alluding to ACIII.If Revelations is better than Brotherhood(which is pretty hard to surpass)or maybe as good I will pick it up.The improved multiplayer, new animation tech, and improved gameplay mechanics sound good so far.

Looks like they go back to medieval times?
Makes sense because that was the only time where Assassins... like .. existed.
