Assassin's Creed Unity & Assassin's Creed Rogue

I'm hoping it's more about freedom than the Anglo interpretations of the revolution as bad, extreme, etc.

The Anglo interpretation of the revolution isn't that it was bad. At least that hasn't been the interpretation by the English since the Revolution.
Though I think anybody with any common sense can look back and see that it WAS bad because it was something that had the opportunity to be great but got hijacked numerous times by violent groups of people, resulting in one of France's worst periods ever and then a large period of probably the largest wars the world had ever seen then.
It might have started with the best intentions but it's still pretty bad.

I like how you talk about the wars that Britain and her monarchist allies started as though they were France's fault.

Well, the first batch of wars during the Revolution were all actually started by France.
I'm not saying that they wouldn't have declared war on France eventually but they didn't start it.

France declared war on Austria in 1792 (I think) and the following year, declared war on Britain and the Netherlands. So I would say that France started those wars.

In fact, Britain didn't really have much to say about or do with the lead up to the Revolutionary wars at all.

[Stavroforos]

OK Rory, whatever you say.

Best to not look at this thread untill november, when there is actual talk about the game instead of other gibberish

Happy Birthday to our favourite AC character

[Nicolaos]

Can't wait, multiplayer seems promising. I've always wanted a coop mode in AC, the previous MP options were just bad, the game lost its charm due to this over saturated design with blue lights pointing out stuff everywhere...

A lot of games are doing that these days, everybody has some Assassin's, Detective's, Vampire or Digital visions, sights etc. Basically the game handhelds you, so you don't hurt your brain by thinking.

I never found Eagle Vision useful at all apart from when an objective pretty much required it.

Ubisoft - next gen starts here

Oh please

Not all that impressed with video, but I do hope the player can command crowds in the game.

[DAVIDE]

Release date for pc?

[Mhaedros]

A month after the consoles one would assume. That's the Ubi standard anyway.

[DAVIDE]

Release date for console?

[eXistenZ]

End of october probably.

Also, next gen has always been an empty term. If people choose to believe it, good for them. No different than the "new" gilette

[TheDarkKnight]

People don't watch videos to the end anymore, do they?

28th of October

I've been liking the Assassins less and less.

Altair was cool but arrogant with little character or emotion and killed the people trying to stop the crusades.
Ezio was awesome and helped eliminate corruption.
Connor was constantly angry and murdered people for working as tax collectors. His Templar father was way more likeable.
Edward was a thieving pirate and killed people for money.

Now the new assassin will be a murdering supporter of the French butch- errr revolution.

I think that Ubisoft's idea of the assassins is going from "people who want to educate the masses and bring peace through enlightenment" to "people should be able to kill for any reason and do anything they want except spy on people using ancient technology."

I'm getting the sudden urge to petition Ubisoft for Templars Creed.

[Deepstrike101]

An enlightened dictator that invaded the territories of other, less enlightened dictators, often with a surprising amount of popular support.
Pretty certain one of the earlier AC's established him as basically being a third party. Which actually would be nice, everything being so dualistic gets rather boring and uninspired.

There were some reasons for popular support, but it was certainly not universal. Spain got tired of him very quickly. All Russians hated him as much as they later hated Hitler.

Ezio also killed hundreds to get to one man in Cappadocia...People always seem to forget that.

The last trailer was really sad to see.. So much depth of field to hide the ugly textures, so much textures issues (ok the game is not finished, but devs are supposed to make trailers showing things already finished to make it look better), so much aliasing, atrocious shadows...
The game has not been announced for old gen consoles but it looks like an XBOX 360 game from the top to the bottom. PC gamers, it is time to worry.

Anyway, everything we've seen so far is Arno killing soldiers of the Garde Nationale of Paris, the number one revolutionary force or even generals of the Revolution. Quite interesting considering he is supposed to help the revolution.
