I have Brotherhood on the 360 and the PC and never experienced any framerate problems whatsoever. Also, but that's just my opinion, comparing AC1, AC2 and AC:B on both systems, AC:B on PC looked best. With all settings cranked to max of course. The shadows didn't bother me at all.


There were two years between AC1 and AC2, and pretty much everyone will agree with me that AC2 was supreme over AC1 with everything. But, even though there was only one year of development between AC2 and AC:B, Brotherhood has been widely received as the best AC game so far by many game magazines and sites and whatnot. Ubisoft knows what they're doing and in my opinion they prove that one year is enough to produce a quality game. Just my two cents.


I will =P I need to update the first post with all the information given out so far anyway. When I made this thread I was far too excited to make a decent intro post, I admit.


Personally I prefer his American voice over the new voice he had in Bloodlines (PSP) where he did have an Arabian accent. I don't know, his Bloodlines voice made me squirm and not in a good way either. What I hope to see is some more Malik, I miss having a snarky side kick.


INTERESTING FUN FACT FOR YOU GUYS.

Those who have played the Da Vinci Disappearence DLC may remember that when you solve the final puzzle with Leonardo you get a series of symbol codes, more specifically 43 39 19 N and 75 27 42 W. Leonardo mentions the message 'is not meant for them' and they leave, but.... those two codes when used in Google Maps point to a town in the state New York. The name of the town is Turin. The Shroud of Turin is one of the main Pieces of Eden in the series. Could be coincidal but it's interesting nonetheless. So far we have only seen the Staff and one Apple in the main games (the Shroud is mentioned in AC: Legacy where it was used to heal Giovanni Borgia). It may be a hint to a future game, seeing as there are still dozens of Pieces of Eden.

YES!!!! exactly.

PS3 was the lead system on Brotherhood so that makes no sense :confused: but it could be just you I dunno, I definitely had more issues in AC1/2

I did read it. How the [censored] did I miss that? Color me stupid and illiterate.

When that Ubisoft swirly symbol fills in for Brotherhood, for you, do you notice a freeze in it? I'm referring to the blue circle with the Ubisoft label under it and an animation accompanying it. It's seen soon after starting up the game and before actually playing. Of course, that alone doesn't bother me all too much, but I'm wondering if I may have possibly obtained a corrupted or otherwise negatively unusual game disk.

Yeah I know what you mean, and no, the only freezes I've experienced was about 3 times when , you know when you enter a knew district and it shows the saving symbol? Those are the only times I've had freezes and that was about thrice anyway

The game itself doesn't freeze, the framerate is just noticeably choppy much of the time whereas II ran smoothly, for me. Are you saying that your Ubisoft symbol also does what mine does?

Mine freezes for a split second , not at the Ubi symbol at ; you know the symbol when you're in the game it's kinda like a diamond when the game saves or loads? That, but it's only when going for district to district, try reporting it to the Ubi support thing, you fill out a form tell them the bug and then it's probably incorporated into the next patch. Sorry but I don't have a link.

I love the Assassin's Creed series, and while Ezio and Italy is getting kind've old, this sounds like a fun time

This is Constantinople/ Istanbul

Question for everyone, will we be seeing the Hagia Sophia as an Orthodox basilica or a mosque?

Ah, I should've read into it more. I feel quite stupid now :facepalm:

Given that it has to be set in the 16th century I'd assume it'd be a mosque by then.

Ah, thanks, I couldn't remember when Ezio was born.

More likely, we may well get both - I wager Altair in his segments will also be in Constantinople, running round the city during/before the Fourth Crusade, with the Byzantines still in power, whilst Ezio will experience it under Ottoman rule.

All I have to say is:
Is it too damn hard to put an occasional stairway in? Even the Prince of Persia gets a few stairwells, albeit booby trapped ones.

are they finally going to get around to fixing the guards that just stand around and do nothing while you pick them off one by one? that game has some of the crappiest combat i have ever seen. guys just standing behind as well as to the sides of you doing nothing while your fighting the guy in front. the game is silly easy.

Stairs are for the weak.

(Screams like a little girl) DO WANT!!!!

While I am excited for this game I am really ready for a new time period. Storyline wise they can probably squeeze a bit more out of Ezio, gameplay wise I think it will have improvements like AC2 to AC:B but nothing drastically game changing like adding Muskets or things like that. (Yes I know Ezio has a crude pistol, I don't care it could still be improved upon)

And do you play TES? And do you complain about that? If not then wake up, AC combat is what I want TES to be, it's faaar better

Bump?

Nothing new to report at the moment. I'm still waiting for new information to be released. And the trailer. DO WANT the trailer!

I mainly need to play this one because of the 'what the hell' ending that brotherhood had. Honestly, my interest in this series has really dwindled since the first. I never even played the second game.

So it's not AC 3 but AC 2.75? :sadvaultboy:
