Assassins Creed: Revelations.

To make up for my non existent post a while ago, here is a video interview about the multiplayer in Revelations.

Ya Kearney I really enjoyed the MP in Brotherhood but was well annoying on those loading screens. There was no such thing as a quick MP game! I'm sure I read somewhere that they were concentrating more on the SP experience this time, doesn't sound like it according to the vid.

I wasn't very hopeful for the MP in Brotherhood, but I was happy to be proven wrong....It was one of the best MP games I have played to date, so refreshingly different from any other multiplayer game.

The only problems were, ya it was a pain to get a game with that lobby system but also, the lack of people playing a while after the games release. A real pity.

Yeah, I kept playing til I got to level 50 as I was going for the platinum, and I was a few months later starting the multiplayer as I didn't have broadband til mid-January as I moved house. But it did seem like a lot of people abandoned it by February or so.

Only had one trophy left for the platinum but it's the one where you can only really get it by boosting with other players to get all the bonuses. Feck it. Too much hassle (and I say that as a guy who collected all the Borgia Flags)

It looks like some major explanations are coming in AC:Rev

Some spoilers in there for those that haven't finished the first three games. But in fairness, if you haven't played them, then you'll have no clue as to what the hell they are referring to.

Interesting article on some of the locations in the new game. Seems really intereting especially

Great trailer.

Looks like they are getting rid of Altair and Ezio before AC3. So more than likely, a new assassin for the full sequel if this game seems to be tracing their last steps.

Or they might both get away in their respective timelines and live happily ever after. :pac:

Dammit. I can't wait until November! Now!

Think I might be splashing out on the Animus Edition which appears to be a Gamestop exclusive. Although, it is €99. The encyclopaedia really gets my juices flowing!:D

Ahhhhhhhhh.........Yes. Definitely for me. I got the Codex edition for Brotherhood and it was really worth it.

I didn't and kinda regret it.

Can't believe I'm only reading this thread now.

The E3 trailer and gameplay look great. And I'm really glad to be getting back to Altair! I seem to be the only person who liked AC1. I agree that the side missions were repetitive, but the world was so immersive. And I kinda preferred the middle eastern setting to Italy, so I'm loving the setting in Constantinople for Revelations.

AC2 was the best of the three by far. Great story and loads of new gameplay features. I felt a bit disappointed with Brotherhood. Rome got boring, and I preferred the different cities layout they used for Ac 1 and 2.

Also, I'm glad they've stated that it's the end of Ezio an Altair's story. It means they'll have to do something fresh for the next one. I like the finality that this is gonna be the end of their story.

So am I. As much as I like playing the games, Brotherhood was AC2.5. Same plot as the AC2 DLC and that before the game's climax was BS.

Da Vinci's the one I'll miss. Since it's Constantinople, I'm hoping this gets in somehow but I've considered Ezio and Altair's story to been done since AC2.

I got the 360 equivalent for that too. I'm only 3 off the same for AC: Brotherhood but they are multiplayer based achievements that are next to impossible without boosting buddies.

Yeah, only missing one (well, before the additional trophies with The Da Vinci Disappearance, though I don't think they count for the platinum) in Brotherhood which, like you say, is pretty much impossible without boosting. Hate multiplayer trophies like that. I'd try it without boosting, but since the game has been out for a good few months now, most who are still playing it are too good to be able to get 15 different bonuses in one match against.

Borgias starting on Sky Atlantic soon, assume like me others will watch in the vain hope Ezio launches off a building at some point? :pac:

Suppose its anti christian tv shows now

Have it sitting on my harddrive at the moment but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I'll get there, and seem like a fairly solid TV show too.

Anyone on XBL playing the multiplayer?

I do however I recently reached Level 50 and don't play as often anymore. My gamertag is "Seamarse" so add me if you want, I do play the odd session occassionally as it's still a fun game.

Mr Freeze wrote: »

stopped playing after I got the 1000 in it, they went and released flipping DLC, when there was frig all left online playing.

The DLC has all single-player based achievements, and very easy ones to get as well.

For 800 points I think so. Multiplayer aside you get 8 new missions which I thought were enjoyable, plus one mission centres around that crazy bitch Lucrezia Borgia which is funny enough.

Also if you're into achievements, which your gamertag confirms , it's an easy 250.

Yeah, I got 1000 in AC1 and 2, but the multiplayer achievements are putting me off trying in Brotherhood. Which is a pity, I really enjoyed single player and multiplayer seems decent!

Ubi branching out.

That's a short film which comes included in the Collector's and Animus Editions. Says so at the end of the video. Still, really interesting. Glad I'm getting the Animus Edition.

Anyone get the books? worth getting if you played the game to death?

9 quid for both in Easons LV.

Renaissance and Brotherhood are pretty much the same as the games but with a few more bits thrown in, mostly about supporting characters.

The newest one, The Secret Crusade, is about Altair but about his whole life I think, so includes AC1 and what happened to him afterwards (like what he describes in the Codex). I've bought it but haven't read it yet

It was Assassins Creed 2.5. Gameplay was good because it was exactly the same as 2. Multiplayer was a nice touch but not executed as well as it could have been!

I don't think Brotherhood put itself as out there as anything other than Assassin's Creed 2.5, in the same that Revelations will essentially be 2.75.
