This Latest Assassin's Creed: Unity Trailer Is Full of Stabbings, Strife, Superlatives

There is also some brooding narration and leaping around but those didn't fit the alliterative thing I had going there.

I have high hopes for this...I was pretty disappointed with all of AC: Revelations, all of AC3, and most of AC4.

Didn't the French royalty take refuge in England after they escaped the revolution, or was that somewhere else?

It's like it wasn't developed by a company with studios in the most Francophone parts of the world.

Whats the Over/Under on the number of A Tale of Two Cities references in mission names/descriptions.

Also, hiding in the rafters listening to Marie Antoinette say 'let them eat cake' seconds before dropping down and tossing her into the street.

Which is kinda funny because Michael Fassbender will be playing the main character in the Assassin's Creed movie.

Also Best of E3 2104 - The Escapist.

I'm still into Assassins Creed and this looks like a great setting and could be really awesome. I just hope the main character isn't an over serious drag like Conner was. Theres a place for super serious characters in games, and Assassins Creed is not it.
Other than that, it looks great. I'll happily play this.

They're still using the term "Guillotine Spin-to-Win Game". That seems to be inexcusably gauche.

Same trailer without the narration would have gotten me more excited. Looks really cool, but I really hope that narrator is not the Assassin. He sounds pretty bland.

This looks great but could they not have gone with a French voice actor? So at least it was English with a French accent? I'm fairly certain that Assassin's Creed 2 had Italian accents at least. I know this happens in a lot of games but for some reason it is really bugging me here.

Hopefully the have a fully voiced French track that I can turn on and then just have English subs.

Assassin's Creed: Les Miserables

Looks like every other Assassin's Creed game. I'll be passing on this unless it does something radically different.

Also pre-order now to enter a fucking competition? Fuck you Ubisoft, this is egregious.

I'm willing to bet the PC release of this game will be RIFE with "accidental" bugs, and slowdown issues. The Devs will likely say something to the tune of "The game is limited by V-RAM on modern PCs, the definitive version is on console", Despite modern PCs being leaps and bounds better than the X-Bone, and PS4. They will then promise a patch that will "fix" the game (which actually just makes it worse), after a clever modder discovers files hidden away in the executable that will make it run smooth as silk.

Basically, this will be "Watchdogs 2.0", calling it now. If Ubisoft doesn't clean up their act with this title, the PC market will likely shun them entirely.

I wonder if they still use the "made by a group of multicultural individuals with many different faiths and beliefs" disclaimer in front of these games?

Loved Black Flag but I think I'm done with these games for now unless something is actually different.

I handle these games a bit like the annual sportseries; you buy one and then skip 2 versions (years) before buying another.

The biggest problem with the AC franchise was the way they spread out the series. I have bought every game and get sucked in each time. I really liked the first AC and thought ACII was a great step up.

At that stage people were questioning what the next game would be - French Revolution? Japan? etc.

Then AC:Brotherhood came out (admittedly a great game), but another Ezio one. Then Revelations (this is where they started losing me.)

ACIII had promise in theory but played terribly. I actually liked the Hatham opening but Conor was a pretty boring character and the American War of Independence was not utilised well. They also butchered what was left of the Desmond storyline (this went off the rails around Brotherhood).

ACIV (Pirates!) I also really enjoyed the time period and the game.

I am excited (stupidly again) for Unity but I think they lost the Abstergo storyline by dragging out Ezio so much and not following their initial vision. I think ultimately Watch_Dogs would have made complete sense as an Assassin's Creed game with Desmond in lieu of Aiden using a combination of hacking and assassinating to go through a modern day city. Instead Watch_Dogs, while not a bad game was a pretty bland one and it's story was, well, bland also.

Goddamit Ubisoft:

They can kiss my grits with their pre-order lottery bullcrap in this game. And while I'm on the subject of bullcrap Ubisoft pre-order bonuses, Far Cry 4 can suck one too!
