Assassin's Creed: Embers launch trailer shows Ezio's spark renewed

@Iamdude

Seriously. You'd think they'd wait at least a LITTLE while for something like this...

@Iamdude Always thought a good setting for an Assassin's Creed would be in Imperial China. The brief glimpse of her sword some what confirms she's Chinese or at the very least Korean.

@Iamdude Ancient China? Awesome! Not so awesome as Feudal Japan and ninja assassins, but finally an AC game will look different from the previous ones... I mean, architecture over there is another thing entirely.

Aren't they both more or less the same? lol

@agentkuo Don't understand why people have downvoted this guy. They really do need to take a break from it. Releasing a game every single year is bad for any game series. While they may be pulling it off and releasing good games, just think of the potential if they took two or even three years. It could be of even higher quality with fresh concepts and ideas and even more refined. They could take more time writing the story and really taking their ideas and pushing them to their full potential. There's many aspects that would benefit from them taking a break or at least taking longer creating each game. And as a plus, there would be a longer wait between games, which would make you have more time to miss Assassin's Creed.

@lenandude

i think with all the crap that Ubi has been releasing (Kinect fitness games) they need something every year that will sell, but yeah i agree with both of you. talk about saturation, i'm getting pretty sick of seeing Assassin's Creed here, Uncharted there, Halo up in space, and Call of Duty shit everywhere. i'm all for Ubi taking a break on the franchise. i think that's really what it needs, and another thing, can we get away from Ezio already? he's really not that good of a character.

@Nevarky

Assuming you're serious, they might not consider that a spoiler. And to be honest, it is the mildest of spoilers.

"Oh, this thing didn't happen that could have potentially happened. My day is ruined!"

The only way this is a major spoiler is if you *expected* Ezio to die in Revelations, which would itself have been an unsubstantiated assumption.

Or hey, maybe this takes place in an alternate, non-canonical version of the AC universe. Starting Schmezio.

@Nevarky The fact that Desmond can follow him around makes it impossible for Ezio to die, and if he would die in the game, that means he would already have sired an heir, meaning that Desmond couldn't be following him in the first place.

@TheBrainninja I didn't expect Ezio to die, I didn't know if he was going to survive, and it made it kind of exciting. I agree with you, it's a minor spoiler, I'm not saying the game is going to be crap now.

But it's still something I would have preferred to learn in the game, and I find it kind of annoying that they reveal this trailer so early, it's like they´re not letting revelations have it's own moment, and they already disposing of it.

@Jormund Fenris

I'm a bit worried about how they'll handle that, honestly. That's plot-hole city if they aren't careful.

@Jormund Fenris

Not exactly. All they need to link Desmond to Ezio is for Ezio to have a child at some point in his life. I think they alluded to that act during Ezio's time with Cristina, but they haven't revealed anything specifically. I don't see how his death would break the link.

@WiredKnight Not really if you think about it, it makes sense, the animus access memories trough DNA, so once Ezio passes this "DNA" to a new Desmond ancestor there is nothing that links them anymore.

Ezio can have as many children as he wants, and this won't affect Desmond accessing his memories, but the moment Desmond's ancestor is assured he can no longer link to Ezio.

@TheBrainninja
It comes with certain special editions of AC:R.

@Reapers

Dammit! Hopefully they put it up on the store separately.

As a related sidenote, the retailer-exclusives are completely ridiculous this time around. Not only are the CEs different per-country, but you can only get most of them at one specific retailer. That is offensively stupid. I was glad that the Brotherhood CE skipped that stupidity after AC2's transgression, but they seem to be back to their old tricks.

Crouch!
