The reveal trailer is now online.

 

 

Yeah; count me in as it seems, like Star Trek, the even numbers AC games work out rather well.

 

Plus, this setting is ripe for historical characters, with Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Homes and Spring-Heeled Jack among the possibilities.

 

Side missions being classic Sherlock Holmes cases?

Gameplay footage (albeit from a very early build).

 

 

Of course, a lot is familiar to previous games, but there looks like being some nice additions to the gameplay.

I'm so in. Unity was buggy as hell at launch, and the tie-in chests were just BS, but it's actually fine now, which gives me hope for this.

Same game, new skin. I'm not buying this. They lost me with Unity, and I haven't seen anything from this that makes me want to run out and buy it.

 

Oh, and they can stick all that talk of "our brand new fighting system" it's not new, it's just a tweak of the old one. And I don't care about being able to ride horse drawn carriages around London. In fact, for a game that's based around verticality, London is probably one of the worst cities to choose.

 

Just yeah, and overwhelming sense of "meh" about this one.

Same game, new skin. I'm not buying this.

 

Aren't you memorised by the slightly new shades of brown they've managed to discover?

For anybody complaining that this is the same game with a new skin, so are every WWE and football game, and most COD's. Yet we all buy them (well, I dont buy football games as its a sport only gaylords like), because we're retarded. I might fuck with myself and go out and buy a board game, get my Boggle on!

I love FIFA, because I love football, and I'm happy to pay £40 a year for updated team rosters and kits. As for CoD and Assassin's Creed though, I really think I'm done. I quite liked the pirate AO, but the French one looked like shite, and I haven't even bothered finishing Call of Kevin Spacey. Add to that that I've been off the WWE game bandwagon since about 2007. I think I'm at the point of my gaming life where it's just going to be FIFA, NBA2K, Total War, incredibly nerdy Paradox Interactive historical strategy epics, and retro nonsense off GoodOldGames.com for the rest of my life. I'm really just done with big name action/FPS franchises, they bore my balls.

I rent them, see if they have done anything worth while, shake my head when I realise they haven't, thank the lord I haven't spent £40 on the game and then wait until next year.

 

This will fit into that pattern. I'll wait until they patch the glitches and bugs that will appear from them trying to get a game made in a one year development cycle, rent the bugger and clear it in a week and forget by the next.

That's the thing though, I don't buy them. And now Assassin's Creed has obviously got to the same "new skin, same game" point, I'm gonna stop buying them too.

 

In fact, the last wrestling game I had was WWE 13, and that's only because Kam was kind enough to give me a copy to review.

 

If anyone wants me, I'll be playing Shovel Knight.
