ASSASINS CREED IMPRESSIONS 360

hi
i just finished a 3 hours play test on assasins (360)
well because of my low english i will post some + and - of the game......

+ the best interactivity in a game ever
+ amazingly draw distance
+ superb fighting system
+ very good story
+ a mix of prince of persia and splinter cell
+ you feel like you r in a living town
+ very responsive controls (better than pop)
+ stable and descent framerate exept some tearing in open areas.
+ top sound

- low res textures in a few places
- not good colors like oblivion........
- its a little fast forward
- i didnt like that the game is based on some memories of our hero, who is in in the same time in a hospital ? in a experiment ? (we play his memories)

in the end its a true next gen game that its a must buy.
last we will have a sequel for sure.......

fuck you paulsol , fuck you big time and you fucking know why , if you don' t still fuck you big time and you need to die.

Listen to the wise

Calm down aba , we already knew that the game was set in the guys past .

i didn' t man !! that was a big spoiler, i refrained from reading many threads just to avoid that, anyway whether people know it or they don' t he obviously should warn about that... why most new members are stupid.

Listen to the wise

So the guy made a mistake....You have made plenty in the past give him a break.

Dude.... Aba....

ASSASINS CREED IMPRESSIONS 360

i thought it was a brief thing , good or bad, did he like it , some stuff he disliked ... you know like many of us do here , you don' t see one of us doing this shit do you eddie? actualy that' s exatly what he did , but he ruined it at the end.

Listen to the wise

If its within the first hour of the game, it can hardly be a spoiler, its a just part of the over all theme.

Its like not wanting to know jurassic park is about dinosaurs (no offence aba)

Its like not wanting to know jurassic park is about dinosaurs

no vx it' s definitly not like that, if it' s in the beginning that' s not THAT bad but it' s not appreciated neither, if that was normal it wouldn' t be kept " secret" ! i can' t believe what i' m reading from u guys you almost sound like it' s totally OK what he did. i really didn' t want to know anything about the twist, it' s already bad enough to know that there is a twist but that were speculations which i' m fine with and we left it like that.

i really hope it' s in the beginning (was that a confirmation from u VX ? )

Listen to the wise

You find out what' s going on (the future shit) within the first 5 minutes.

The opening section/tutorial isn' t that impressive, but if you know your Ubisoft games you' ll be able to see similarities with another next-gen game they released a while back.

You could have used the spoilers tag bro. Dont spoil the fun for folks that love this game. I not tripping over it but I feel you Abasoufiane. By the way bro its just a game don' t take it so hard Life is to good to take it the hard way.

Isn' t there a way to put like spoiler tags or something? I was actually rather ticked too when I read it since I just expected an overall game play run-down, but aw well, it happened. And there' s been enough stuff going around the whole future having to do with the past that I mean, it' s not enough to ruin the experience, I hope.

99% of the game takes place in the past. Nothing has really been ruined, ...especially given that we' ve known about this stuff for 12 months or so anyway and Ubisoft put out a teaser comic which introduced the " twist" a while back.

And no, you can' t use spoiler tags here.

well thanks nitro for the reassurance, i thought the twist was at the end or something similar, anyway it could be better if i found it out myself. who got the game here already?

Listen to the wise

I don' t think knowing what you know will ruin any of the game for you because there' s more to it than was posted here. The intro lets you in on quite a bit but obviously not everything.

I' m surprised you haven' t got the game yet. Both Assassins Creed and Mass Effect are available online already. You should get onto your supplier and tell him to get moving on this stuff

Oh man, after having seen a friend play a fair amount of the game, there' s already so much that bothers me with the game, both story and gameplay wise.

I' ll keep quiet about my dislikes regarding the story, in fear of spoiling anything that I thought everone already knew, but in terms of gameplay, the biggest prob I have with the game is the repetiveness which people will probably note sooner than later.

Regarding the graphics I have no complaints other than the techno mumbo jumbo which I loathe. The game is stunning, especially the aniamtions.

I love the music, not a lot else to say there, and the voice acting keeps a high standard as well. However once again, the techno sci/fi sounds feel misplaced and I have a feeling it might' ve been cool if I was about 7 or so years younger.

Other than that, the A.I can feel rather stupid and the crowd feel like empty wandering shells, not people.

Still, I think it' s a good game, I mostly mention the parts that I didn' t like so much right now, but I assure the good weighs more than the bad with Assasins. I just think some design choices where for the worse, and the game would' ve been even better than it is, had they skipped some ideas.

Ah, and there' s the Crackdown likeness.

I think it all depends on how you approach stuff really. There are certain aspects that need repeating, but i still think there' s enough scope for the right-minded people to enjoy the game right the way through.

Some of the stuff may be out of place or at odds with the setting but i really like the fact that it opens up the possibility of a fully fleged series whee every game looks and feels different.

From what I' ve seen, the game offers you enough ways to approach a situation, so I guess I' ll get stale if you rely on the same approach over and over again. Besides, from all the interviews and such, Ubi had already said that investigating, killing and escaping pretty much made the bulk of the game, so that' s why the threw the whole freedom factor in it, but I see only the most imaginative players actually making full use of all the game' s freedom.

lol dude you think i' m gonna miss this , not a chance, i was camping for a week... i' m already on it but my supplier said there is a shit load of demand , it seems that both will make it in 5 days though mass effect might even be sooner. as for now i' m sinking in games, here i' ll say briefly what surprised me about each game:

cod 4 is soon finished ===> some textures are low-res, exactly like COD 2, which decreases the appeal of the overall graphics, i was shocked in that hangar when i started the game, it looked bland almost horrible , nothing like i imagined , thank god the graphics in most levels are amazing even with the low res)

eternal sonata in mid way ===> the game looks terrific but gets horribly repetitive in combat, i just don' t understand some developers, the production value is at the roof, the environments are varied and amazing but the enemies which you spend most of the time fighting are very repetitive, each zone has only 2 to 3 kind of enemies, and many of those can be found in other areas with slight difference such as the color , so basicaly you get sick of seeing the same fiends over and oevr again, why such talented devlopers didn' t try to raise that number, it' s obvious like daylight, many critics pointed to that problem as well


Stranglehold (back to it after giving up) ===> the game looks good but it' s a bit repetitive after few levels, i think it' s fun but it' s the kind of game you want to spend half an hour playing and then switch to something else until you finish it, the controls are not great and might make you want to throw your pad on tv.

Zelda HG ====> the game looks great on ds (best so far) and some ideas are amazing , it uses the ds to its full potential but the temple you visit each time is a very very bad idea, it gets repetitive, i hope i will have the push to finish it.

castlevania (psp) ===> after playing symphony of the night and the ds games, the gameplay feels so outdated , might be a game for joe and the likes.

S**t, I ain' t missing on this wagon either. I separated my copy last week and tomorrow I' ll be running that baby inside my PS3 pretty much all day! Living in the middle-of-nowhere Bakersfield sometimes has its ups, as in no lines for hotly anticipated games

hehe.

What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

SHOWOFF !!!!!
[:' (]

So Nitro, where do you live at? I need to move near you since you happen to be the high dollars here. I can definitely see Nitro writing this in his journal:
" I have woken up today and feel like playing Creed. However on my last mission when killing Sibrand, I felt like the water from the boats didn' t look or made me feel like I was at a pier on my xbox360. I think today I will play the mission on the PS3 and kill Sibrand on his ship this time while he' s yelling at his guards. Ahhh, all you pathetic games will bow down to me. I' m the man."

Games are your best friend as long as you don' t start talking to them.

What the fuck is a journal?

I' m guessing it' s some kind of diary, maybe something like " the capten' s log" in Star Trek. (No I don' t watch Star Trek but I know OF the things in Star Trek Damnit!!!)
Why the f*** do you have two versions? Isn' t that pretty unecessary?

Beggars and DRUNKS will meet my steel.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

I choosed the Ps3 version of Assassins Creed because I thought the box looked much better for the Playstation. Then I booted it, played for about 5 min, and when the tutorials ended it hit me... The game looks much better on the 360. Pisses me off.

Thats what u get for choosing a game based on the box . Seriously , is there a difference between the 360 and the ps3 versions ?

Gametrailers.com has a comparison video.

Edit: Here it is

Seriously, yes, there is a difference. The lightning, and coloring to be specific, and honestly the game looked alot better on the 360.

GInj those comparsion are often bad because.

A what camera did they record on?
B what output did they use on each plattform?
C what tv did they use?

Sure, if you connect the 360 via component, ...but then it isn' t as sharp.

360 through VGA and PS3 through HDMI look very similar. 360 has a better framerate and marginally better texture work, but they both look great. The differences aren' t huge at all.

Why have you switched to Majik? You are sooooooo close to 10000 posts with Nitro!

Ginji don' t you get it? he already beat that game once, now he' s trying in veteran mode, probably he' ll aim for 20000 posts next time. i can feel him.

I have had a chance to play a bit of AC the past couple of days, and so far I can honestly say that I am very impressed with the game.

First things first, lets get it out of the way, the graphics in this game are fantastic!!! The lighting, the textures, draw distance are all top notch although in some areas the textures do seem a bit off.

I love how cinematic AC is, it really pulls you right into the game and most importantly into the story. The real time cut scens are a nice touch, as it keeps the game moving at a nice smooth pace without interrupting to load a CG cutscene in which you have no interaction with.

So far I haven' t done much combat, but from what I have done I can say that it takes some getting used to but once you have the hang of it the combat really is superb. I haven' t had this much fun with sword play since Bushido Blade for the PS1. Combat while you' re on horse back is fun, but the collision detection when you swing your sword seems a bit off in my opinion.

Anyway, AC for me so far has been a great buy and well worth the money. It looks stunning, plays terrific, and most imporantly the story is engaging and it has pulled me right in. Tres Bien Ubisoft Montreal.

Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain

i just got assassin' s creed, played an hour or so and i' m very impressed, i really feel bad about reports thay say it' s " very" repetitive, the game looks fantastic, very cinematic and the controls are superb.

Listen to the wise

BEST game ever made in IMO.

Now all i need is for Mass effect to be at least half as good as Assassins.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........
