Quite amazing, if you ask me... I thought that the first video was a collection of cutscenes. But as the second video shows... it's gameplay.

The ammount of detail that has gone into this game is remarkable. I haven't really been keeping up with it all to much until now. It seems that everything you do holds an effect on everything around you. I see this being more of a hit than Fable was when it first came out. Which, I think was Xbox's best title ever.

This is seems to be a definate must have title for both Xbox 360 and PS3 owners.

Been following Assassin's Creed for a while. Really interested to see how closely they stay to the origins of the assassin historically.

The games beautiful and no doubt will have an amazing feel.

Indeed... it seems that everything is interactive. One of the best things in making it real is the fact that you will die so easily. One blow to the head and that's it. I'm sure this game will be a challenge. ^_^

Though... I hear that people who have forum sigs aligned to the right won't be able to play it.

I'm glad I have a PS3 for this =)

I've been waiting a long time for this game ^ ^

Some pretty niffty updates to their site... specially the vid they have up.

Well, Assasin's Creed is due out in two weeks. Anyone still interested?

Two weeks!? O_o I didn't know this

Release dates in the right hand colum. PC and DS version won't be out till 2008.

I just got done watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and FX is running commercials for this game like nuts.
It looks pretty sweet. I'm looking forward to it.

Yea it does look pretty saweet!
I hope it lives up to the hype though,
It seems nowadays a lot of games don't live up to the hype =(

I do have a good feeling about Assasin's Creed though =D

Hmm.....I heard this game had an incredibly stupid control scheme, and that it was hard to perform anything, let alone make it look good while you played.

I don't know, it looks great, and actually might have some historical truth to it's ideas, but the learning curve for the controls might scare me away.

*To start game: Spin around in three circles, put your finger on your nose and recite the alphabet backwards while standing on your head, then push the shoulder buttons simultaneously, and then push start.*

Where'd you hear all of that?

^I check out the net and have video game magazine accounts.

I get different mags in the mail all the time.

.....Thats where.

I'm sure the controls are fixed in the final version.

^I sure hope so, it sounded ridiculously hard.

Maybe for noobs...

^_^

I need a ps3 demo of this to test it out. I may buy this game or rent it.

- The control scheme for this game is different than what most of us are used to and aims to make gameplay more fluid. Each face button controls a corresponding body part. The Y/triangle buttons will control Altair's head, the X/square buttons control the weapon hand, the B/circle buttons control the free hand and the A/X (PS3) buttons will control the feet. The triggers/top buttons will increase/decrease the intensity of your actions (gently push bystanders out of the way or tackle them).

- Jumping is automatic

......The way they talk about it, it doesn't seem too bad, but other reviewers were just being brutal and probably biased toward this game for some reason.

The control scheme might be promising, just comes with a harsh learning curve is all.

I might give it a shot though, the scaling of buildings alone looked so fun!

As long as I get a good and expansive world to explore, I'll be happy.

This game had too much hype, I'll rent this.
