This certainly is game-making or game-breaking, but interesting for lore geeks like myself.Īs for as abilities go, I wasn’t able to look at any of the skills players will be unlocking, though the demo round of Manhunt featured two – one familiar and one new. Speaking of progression, I learned (though it was earlier mentioned in Game Informer) that this time around, the multiplayer component of Assassin’s Creed will include more story elements, so players will learn about Abstergo and its inner workings as they move up the Templar Pyramid, or whatever its equivalent in Revelations will be. Mark that as a large “meh” in my book, since customization is fairly meaningless when every NPC looks exactly like you (as it should be, of course), but it sounded like the general progression system would offer more options in general, which is welcome. Of course, there were a lot of interesting changes, though not many were particularly drastic…ĭuring this demonstration, I wasn’t allowed to choose a persona, though I saw about half a dozen were available, and I was told that there would be significantly more customization options than in Brotherhood. While the overall effect might be a less stylized, even less branded approach, I think the changes make the game easier to play in that less of your peripheral is obstructed with icons that are generally unhelpful most of the time. The user interface in particular saw the most revisions, with much smaller icons in every corner (taking up less real estate) and more helpful pop up descriptions. Blending, running, and skill usage remained the same, though obviously many elements had a few layers of additional polish. In the most basic sense, little has changed, at least in the version I played today. And in that vein, I humbly present to you my thoughts after playing Assassin’s Creed Revelations at the Ubisoft E3 2011 booth today.

I may not be the greatest Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood player in the world, but I’m by far the most humble. Revelations doesn't offer the same kind of manly drawl that BROTHERHOOD does, but it's still fun.
