You can go to gamespot, they have a full rundown of it all. http://www.gamespot.com/shows/the-s...sassins_creed_brotherhood_part_1_of_520121015
I have both consoles and have been sitting on the fence about which port of AC3 to pick up...
AC1,2, and Brotherhood were superior on 360. Revelations seemed to have somewhat of an edge on PS3. AC3 seems to be a little more Sony-centric with content and the fact that Ubi used PS3 footage to reveal AC3 at E3. Tough choice. If PS3 does have the edge then I might use that as the case to finally pick up a new PS3 via the 500GB bundle.

More people climb trees then they climb buildings.
Remembering that the PC DDE is available to pre-order everywhere but Steam, I decided to look into this:

Fantastic.
Hm, interesting. But beyond accents, the main thing is that some of the voices just do not seem to be very well executed and do not fit the characters. Take the Indian here at 2:47 for example. The voice acting is just not very well done at all and hardly fits this Indian warrior who is Connor's mentor. He sounds like some kid.

But despite that and the lame mini games, I think the game is still going to be amazing. It is just one of the weaker aspects of the game that I have seen so far.
Urghhh, sorta happy that its resolved and that was one of the ideas that was going around...but still. Locking that away in the rather crap Desmond Sections just sucks.
People run on buildings and planks. People don't run and jump from branch to branch.
Single player characters? What does that mean exactly?
That is not Connor's Mentor....
Then why did the developer say it was just before the scene? Or was he referring to someone else? Either way, the voice acting for the Indian guy is still pretty bad.
I'm assuming that's a typo and they're actually outfits for Connor.
The old guy in the background walking out of the door is his mentor.

For anyone looking for Recap vids, Gamespot has a feature running called "The Story So far". They still have to put up the last 3 Revelations videos though (probably will be out within the next 2-3 days).

Ah, well based on how the developer described the scene it's easy to come away thinking otherwise. Regardless, the voice acting for the Indian is just really off. Especially compared to Connor, who sounds fine.

They made a big PS3 push with brotherhood as well. I guess it comes down to controller preference and if you wanna have everything on one disc. I myself am wondering what platform to rent the game on. My final purchase will be on PC.

How would you like to be worshiped?
Badass trailer for sure. Much better than, "I'm coming home."

After listening to the soundtrack, why the hell wouldn't they use any of that wonderful music?

Any words on how are portrayed the French? Do even get to fight with/against French troops/characters?
Still wishing for this game to be set during the French Revolution.

Launch trailers are never CG.
Launch trailer HQ download (25 fps for some reason):

Hopefully I'll get my review copy tomorrow, I so can't wait to play that one, even though I'll miss Ezio

Tomb location are those forts we saw before.
We also saw a half sunken ship in one of the trailer, that probably another.

Tree leaves and fire effects kinda look bad...
After yesterday's conversation, running in the trees may be the most exciting new thing this game offers.
I kind of agree. It depends on how much NY and Boston there is. I want to explore cities, not play Tarzan.

For teams of 500 people, they need to get better animators. My dad is a 59 year old non-gamer and remarked at the TV trailer: "it looks good but the animation is so muddy". After watching it again in more depth, I have to agree. If there's anything to give away that something is a game, it's the way it moves.

And, you know, the 3d graphics. And the "available on".
So you're comparing the animation to life, not other games? That doesn't seem fair.
What does that mean? He can't see that animation?

Well at least the wait for the PC release will let me see if I really want the game. Looking forward to impressions of the game from you guys.

This is one of the worst Launch trailer I've ever seen.
That's not good considering they spent all this time making a new animation system for the game. I kind of agree it looks weird in some videos I've seen of the game and certainly not up to Naughty Dog's standard in the Uncharteds and Last of Us.

Compared to other games, it's not as good. But yes, it was an observation of gaming in general. Graphics are constantly getting more realistic, but until it animates better it almost seems worthless in motion.
He didn't elaborate, but I assume he means the way in which characters move. Everyone seems a bit stiff and there's a sort of "stop/start" look to the free-running, as if you can see exactly where one animation stops and another begins. I've noticed this in all the AC games so far. Uncharted and Rockstar games are definitely on another level when it comes to animation blending.

I do wish they would add more stealth elements to AC. It doesn't have to be deep but something simple as crouching would go a long way. Thankfully you can hide behind and assassinate from corners in this game which is a start.
That was terrible, what the hell.

I assume they let it a bit open in case they got Kristen Bell back. They didn't confirm she was dead until Revelations anyways.
Here are the transcripts of what was revealed in The Lost Archive:
Subject 16 discovers this recording while hacking into the Abstergo mainframe.
Warren: Lucy, this is where your background comes into play. If our experiments with Desmond in the Animus aren't going well, you will remove him from Abstergo. Take him somewhere he will feel comfortable divulging his secrets. Your Assassins should do the trick. Since Desmond will be reading our emails, we will ensure that secret communications between you and the Assassins go through unimpeded. Once you are imbedded, I will come to pick up the Animus tapes. Make sure you look very upset. You need to be convincing. Desmond will lead you to the Apple and then you bring it right to us. We're counting on you, Lucy. You have served the Templar Order well, and we never forget loyalty. Oh, yes. Once inside their hideout, perhaps you might ask the Assassins why they left you alone for so many years.
He then gets this email from Lucy:

Clay,
I've seen the security records from last night. You must want an explanation. I had hoped to tell you about it little by little, to get you on my side, but it's too late now.
William is using us. In this war. In this war against the Templars, he doesn't think about the lives he's hurting. We aren't people to him. How can we trust someone like that? Clay, you of all people should understand.
Abstergo cares about helping people. They understand the realities of the world, its limitations.
But I know that nothing I can say now will really change your mind.
I've deleted the security records. Vidic will never discover the breach. I promised to protect you, but I can't let you leave. William and the others must never know.
I'm sorry.
-Lucy
