Do they really care about scans as long as its not their game?

It's piracy.Nuff said.

Karioudo you might wanna remove that link to scans from your OP , we wouldn't want to wake the bear now would we? :nono:
Also there have been (Correction) Four new pieces of coverage since the last one you linked

Fine them all : http://www.gameinformer.com/p/revelations.aspx

I thought the same but I'll remove it just to be on the safe side. I'll add the new stuff once I have a little more time. Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with the news, I've been really busy lately. Real life svcks at times.

I do want to say that this is no official concept art. It is part of a contest Ubisoft held a while ago where they asked for art entries for their art book, where you had to pick a timeline, any timeline, and make your own Assassin. The original artist is http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=japanese+assassin#/d2yqru8

also victorian London.

Like http://wildlifehoodoo.deviantart.com/art/Victorian-Assassin-179324032?q=favby%3Ahorus-goddess%2F582518&qo=144 you mean? :hubbahubba: Though this one is also fake, made for the same contest. Still very awesome though (and female, hurr).
Subject 16, Desmond's predececcor had an ancestor in the Far East, because he scribbled kanji/katagana/hiragana (not sure, all looks the same to me) all over the walls with his own blood, which you can see when you finish AC1. Because 16 is related to Desmond because Alta?r and Ezio are also 16's ancestors, so its fairly possible that the Japanese ancestor is also related to Desmond. So perhaps in a future game...

Cool. I recently "finished" 2. (Not 100%) I then bought Brotherhood within an hour of finishing 2 and have since "finished" it as well. (Took me 3, 8+ hour days to run through AC:B with 97% completion. Or was it 95%? :shrug:) Very fun series, if you can get past the first one. Comparing AC to AC:2/Brotherhood makes AC look like a demo not a full game. (Deliberate over exaggeration, though not by much.

) I love all the improvements since AC. It really felt like half a game. Over all though, I payed $65 (Can.) to play all 3 and am very pleased with the series, especially at that price. (AC I borrowed from a friend. I bought AC:2 & Brotherhood. I intend to buy AC so I have the complete series at some point though. $5 at the local pawn shop. So $70 for the series to date.)

I don't see why people dislike the original Assassin's Creed so much. Sure, it got extremely repetitive between assassinations, but it still had a good story/setting/concept, awesome free running, and fun game play. I loved it at the time, and while the two newest games have improved on it vastly, it's still the same core gameplay and concept. It just seems strange to me that one can praise AC2/AC:B while criticizing AC, a game so similar.

Anyway, I'm a bit dissapointed to go back to Ezio again, but look forward to seeing more of Altair and getting some answers. And then we can hopefully move onto another ancestor of Desmonds who isn't pushing his fifties.

Agreed. AC1 is very good if you can get past the repetive missions. I've finished it about 7 times now, whereas I've only finished AC2 4 times and AC:B 2 times.

Is Assiassins Creed an EA game? It seems like its awfully coming out alot with new games every year. Didn't an AC game just come out? Sort of takes the magic out of it now.

I am glad now that TES games come out every 4 or 5 years now. Makes them much more magical.

Ubisoft, not EA. The last game, Brotherhood, came out last November for the PS3 and 360, and for the PC in March.

I tried to go back and play AC, and got frustrated because all of my combat moves I was used to from Brotherhood were gone. :biggrin: But I still love it, and without it we wouldn't even have the last two. So I say, keep making them.

Except for the Desmond bits, and the last part of the game, I thought the story in AC1 was rather boring. The assassinations had a little background story to all of them, but not a whole lot. None of the side quest stuff you had to do was of any interest, and the generic ones start repeating themselves really quickly, with identical (unskippable!) spoken dialogue and everything.

And you could see the 'plot twist' coming from miles away, it was way too obvious.

If you ignore the awful DRM it shipped with, AC2 beats AC1 in every possible way, IMO. The whole climbing, free running and assassination thing and the interesting setting were what made AC1 original at the time, but after playing AC2 I can't go back to the first game.

I loved AC1, its just that it gets dated, especially when a new game comes out or you jumped in the series on later titles. AC1 was awesome when it came out.
