Ya, I've tried the online site for gamestop and stuff here and I don't see it even listed at all except ubi's site. The only one who might get it is Saturn but their online site sucks so I'll just have to wait and see I guess. It's weird they would have sold out of PS3 and PC though.
Edit: Finally found it on gamestop's website, but it's out of stock. I guess it's sold out at least online pretty much everywhere. Still debating but I may grab the PC version since it's 20 euros cheaper and it's only 80 euros for the animus.

Is that white encyclopedia a softcover? It sort of looks like that and the black version is hardcover. That would be really stupid if it is in fact softcover...
Edit: Nvm, I see it now it in the OP, apparently it is hardcover. Promo shot in the video was misleading. Damn it looks awesome....
Edit 2: Wait, so it's just art from fans and whatever they mean by "industry professionals"? So it's not even an artbook from the creators of the series? That's pretty lame, I think killed me off of getting just the book separately then. The only thing that sucks is the white looks better and more fitting for the series than the black book.

Altair was an arrogant douch and felt really flat after th great character development and personality of Ezio, but damn, his moves where more bad ass indeedThe Antitype said:

I am looking forward to this. Great OP! Tons of info and stuff I forget already!
But I still think they should have made AC -> AC2 -> AC3 (in a different time than 1 and 2). I think that Brotherhood and Revelations are too much AC. They overdid Ezio, IMO.
Will buy anyway... hope you happy Ubisoft :/

Instead of a manual, I bet the game has a black and white slip on paper with a link to this thread on it.
I'll buy this when I get around to finishing AC2 and maybe buying Brotherhood.

Brotherhood was a serious 20 hours for me and i didn't do all the single players missions.Marco1 said:
Multiplayer is alright but don't go in brotherhood for the muilti as revelation is better on all points

Where was it mentioned that you will play as Altair as well as Ezio this time around? Or are you guys talking about the AC1 included on the disc?
If you play as both I am guessing Assassin Recruits won't be available while playing as Altair.

The Signature Edition includes the game soundtrack right? Is it going to be a code you can use on the Internet to download a digital copy of the soundtrack?

Isn't there a tower defense mode in the game? I didn't see it in the OP, I mean lord knows its got to be in there somewhere but probably didn't load or whatever
Is it like Dungeon Defenders where after setting up the towers you can still run around and attack guys or is it towers only?
Also how would you feel about picking up the two books for AC:2 and Brotherhood and then playing this? Don't have the time or energy for mutliple games but I always did want to try this series. My understanding is the books cut out all the future stuff but how does that work because aren't there scenes where (spoilers)
Kind of vague, I read one of the spoiler threads long ago

someone talking to the past person is actually talking to the future person when they relive the events?
Thanks! It's a piece by Yusuke Hashimoto for an Assassin's Creed concept art exhibit held in Japan earlier this year.kayos90 said:
Not the best pic but it's the only one I've found on the web. Prints were available at the exhibit for 300 bucks a pop, which is a bit much, but I'm hopeful it'll show up in the 'Cartes Blanches' section of the encyclopedia in more detail.
This Gamepro article covered the exhibit and has some great shots of the other artwork shown.

So glad I pre-ordered the Animus Edition. Looking really good.
Best bang for your buck collectors edition is still Bioshock 2 for me though.

The first part of Post #12 (it's not an OP anymore when it goes this in-depth, it's a love affair) demonstrates an inkling of how the Assassin's Creed universe may have been 'watered down.' A dozen or so browser mini-games, portables and social media experiments that are thankfully easy to ignore. I'm a big fan of the mechanics of Assassin's Creed, so none of those things appeal to me at all. As if the AC universe wasn't convoluted enough.
Like the last three main games, I'll lose myself in the freerunning platforming and stealth mechanics in an open-world environment. Best ninja games this generation, lol.

Agreed.
I knew there were a few spinoffs, but good lord, after reading through the latter half of the OT, it's undeniably clear how out of control Ubisoft is getting with this stuff. And I don't understand why they keep doing it? It's pretty obvious nobody gives a shit about anything besides the main games and all it does is make understanding the story that much more difficult. How much of it is canon? Did any of it lead to retconning? How much of it actually ties in with the core premise?
I really wish they would stop.

Holy fuck, Ubisoft is completely insane with their shipping prices. $35 for shipping a book to Europe? Seriously? How about using other distribution centers besides Montreal? No way in hell I'll spend $70 on an encyclopedia.
It's just a further case study of video game developer's sophomoric take on narrative in games. What started out as a neat story was dragged into a sopping puddle of piss. Mostly saved by interesting game mechanics.
Despite that, love the games: 1000/1000 achievements on the first two and 1150/1250 on Brotherhood. I hope to 1000/1000 this one, too!

On 360 too. But gamepot has a 40 min video and it seems the tearing got improved. Still there but better. One reason could be the lack of horses (thank god). Those killed the framerate in brotherhood badly.

ithink it was multiple tracks mixed, the theme song definitely felt like it just cut off and then a new track came in.
yeah here is the full theme uninterrupted, sounds great - and then an interview with the girl who won the singing comp

not sure when the reviews can go up, i'd guess this weekend. maybe even the day before release if they do an activision.

I had much more problems with the horrendous pop-in than the framerate tbh. I hope that's better in Revelations.

I bought AC2 on PS3 and apparently it ran much worse then the 360 version, did they address this?
Wow, you can apparently pickpocket guards as you are fighting them now.
Ooohhh, and another new guard type- The Bombadier. Dude just throws shittons of bombs at you. Pretty rapidly too.
Apparently, there will only be seven dens.
Notoriety system has changed a bit. Instead of dealing directly with your own personal notoriety, it now deals with the Assassin faction's as a whole. The higher it gets, the more likely that your dens will be attacked.
