Looks good , out in November on 360 PS3 an PC

Assassin's Creed | Official Site | Ubisoft

 

Yeah, saw the e3 2007 trailer and it looks promising, although it looks a lot less stand-out, now other developers have exhibited their stuff.

 

Graphically I think it looks amazing , Be interested to know what looks "more stand out" from the other developers .

 

what type of game is this then?

 

Set in 1191 AD at the height of the Third Crusade for the Holy Land, Assassin's Creed puts players in the silent shoes of Altair and gives them the opportunity "to shape events during this pivotal moment in history." Altair is tied to a group of ruthless assassins whose plan is to bring an end to the bitter struggle by striking out at both warring parties.

 

Basically it's the new "Prince of Persia"...

 

right...

I'm still not sure of the style of the game RPG I take?

 

Actually looks promising.

 

I'm a sucker for anything loosely based on historical facts

 

Erm no. More like an athletic tomb raider, (the Price of Persia games have been going since the ST/Amiga days and are now made for practically every platform under the sun, so I'm surprised you haven't heard of them)..

 

Of course I know the price of Persia ones but I didn't like the latest ones on the Xbox.

Ubisoft tend to make good games so will certainly check this out.

 

There are some screenshots of the game that are set in a more modern era - there's rumours going around that the game feature's some time-travel shenanigans but they're being very tight-lipped at the moment.

 

Ah, you gave the impression that you didn't

From all the videos, previews etc that I've seen so far, it's more of the same just with better graphics, so if you didn't like the previous xbox/ps2 persia games, I'd try before buying...

 

Ex PS3 exclusive

Looking forward to this. Ubisoft have got a pretty decent record for games over recent years.

 

I bought a P3 last week mainly for the Blu Ray , But this will be one of the few games I will buy for it ..that and Call of Duty 4 an Haze.

 

This looks amazing, even given the other titles around at the moment there are certain elements of that demo that really stand out to me.

Character animation is superb, clothes / material dynamics are really lifelike and then theres the character shadows which are something else.

 

for starters...

this:
GameVideos.com - Killzone 2 'Extended E3' trailer

and so on....

its all subjective of course

 

Not sure they look any nicer than A.C. But as you say its all subjective, Plus they are not my cup of tea anyway. Thanks for the links

 

MGS 4 looks absolutely stunning. Considering what Kojima did with PS2 with MGS2&3, 4 really will be a step ahead.

 

It looks good, but if I wanted to sit through 20 hours of pre-rendered footage / cut scenes, I'd rent a movie. I hope the next game focuses more on gameplay than the previous one did...

 

The problem with MGS is that with each new release has more and more scripted (not playable) sequences in it.
However as Pete says, the graphics look fantastic.

 

bugger
must type faster!

 

3 was better than 2 in this regard - MGS2 did have a lot of cut-scenes (non of it pre-rendered, though, it was all in engine) but you can forgive 3 on account of it being one of the best games of the last gen.

 

Perhaps pre-rendered was the wrong terminology. I really meant scripted (i.e. you're a passenger, not in control of the action). I thought MGS3 was a pretty bad game myself. Got bored with it very quickly (within a couple of hours or so) and I never felt compelled to go back and give it another go (in fact it's still sat on my shelf gathering dust). All style and no subtance imo

 

 

You really should. It's one of those games that takes a few hours to get in to, but once you're there, you're hooked. It really was absolutely amazing in places.

Same story with MGS2 - I very, very nearly put it down after a couple hours and thought "man, this just isn't worth it" but decided to stick it out and was really pleased I did - I knew MGS3 would come round.

Of course, Twin Snakes on the Cube is the best place to start

 

Totally agree about the cut-scenes. The bloody narrative seems to go on forever.

But there's no denying Kojima's team really squeeze a lot of the hardware. I remember seeing a preview of MGS2 (the ship level in the storm) and I thought it was a cut-scene. I was amazed to realise when I finally got the game, it was part of the in-game level. The PS2 hadn't long been out and I was blown away.

Did anyone see the recent interview with Kojima when they talked about the guard unsuspectingly taking a pi$$ off the side of the sea platform onto Snake ? He'd actually told the programmer to change it to the guard taking a dump! I look forward to seeing what a next-gen turd looks like in MGS4
