This gonne be my first game for the ps3(Hell yeah this rocks)

That's great news. i don't like competitive multiplayer, but co-op multiplayer is always great. for a time, developers completely abandoned co-op gameplay, from the PS1 to the early PS2 era. this past year has seen an influx of co-op (Timesplitters 3, Medal of Honor: European Assault, Mortal Combat: Shaolin Monks, The Warriors), which kind of harkens back to the good ol' NES days, where co-op was built into practically *every* game, even the obscure ones. in the 90's, there seemed to be this stereotype that gamers were solitary loners locked in their bedrooms with the latest version of Mario, where in reality, it was you, with a bunch of friends crowded around the screen, locked in the room, and sharing the controller.



since the Assassin's Guild in the game isn't just one person, it makes since that one or more Assassin would undertake a mission (kind of like that scene in Last Samurai, where the group of Ninja's attempt to assassinate Ken Watanabe's character). i think including (or, more like, *revealing*) co-op, as not much about the game was known, is a great addition, and could lend to some very tactical assassinations (you could be a distraction while your buddy delivers the killing blow, or vice versa. or a team of five could stage a full scale siege and assassination in a stronghold).



i can't wait for this game, and i'm probably about as excited for AC as i am for MGS4. the fact that it's coming in early 2007 is even sweeter. the PS3 is going to be a great system, just like it's competition are great systems. this generation of gaming offers something for everybody moreso than any generation before it. all 3 systems are unique, and specialize in different things. it's a great time to be gamer, really.

yeah, i thought the first two Timesplitters were ok, but the third one was friggin sweet. me and my buddy (he hated the series period), rented it and he was converted. i'll probably buy it at some point when i'm not saving up for a PS3.



AC could definitely change gaming (i'm looking at it's complex design as applied to other genres, and not just limited to it's own series). if it stays exclusive to PS3, it really will be just one of many killer apps (FFXIII and MGS4 are nobrainers, really). i think the system has the potential to have some sleeper hits, even early on in it's lifecycle (i'm looking at Warhawk and Resistence specifically). It also looks like Mercenaries 2 (covered in last months OPM) is a PS3 exclusive also. the developers didn't mention any other consoles, and even the Pandemic sight only has it listed for PS3.



there's really a lot to be excitied about for the console, and Assassin's Creed is just the tip of the iceberg to what the system can offer.

but do you play it with the same tv (split screen) or can you call up your friend and get online or can he bring his own ps3 and play it through LAN? just asking

The diversity in your alrticles chris never ceases to amaze me.



AC will be a hit...i hope it stays on PS3 where it belongs



On a side note, thinking of this game reminds me of the song:



Accolade II by Symphony X



Go ahead and give it a download.



PS: Symphony X owns, and dream theater, iron maiden, metallica...the list could keep going forever...

since ps3 has blu ray and its a year before release they could make a whole seperate co op story mode

i dont think they should make co op the same as the regular story but with another person as for that is very boring... it should be a whole different experience...

like say for a co op misson one of u has to distract the gaurds while the other 1 sneaks in and kills the target

well... normally making a whole new campain for co op wouldnt fit on a dvd but since ps3 uses blu ray they can do that

it makes me hapy that sony still has fan that wannt the ps3 bad like i want it,even though a lot of people sony bash,they make up rumors and even say the ps3 games r coming to 360!!by the way ac looks amazing !!!

This game looks like it will be like spinter cell (if spelled right lol) set in holy land and mp will be like that game where two ppl take on two others and sp will be same as that game or like hitman and sc mix, lol.



It be cool if there was like 32 to 60 players online in big citys or really big maps like set in the woods or just open land and you have to take over diff spots like battlefield but in 3rd person ac and all kinds of rides and action fighting and not mmorpg thing, lol.



Picture jumping high on buildings, climbing trees, maybe hijack rides liek horses or those spears thing on wheels, lol and lots of diff weapons and stuff lol.



Lots of action all out war kinda like battlefront but ac setting.
