The Official ** Assassin's Creed ** Thread
I know this game has been talked about in the Xbox thread but I think it needs it's own thread. This game is gonna be da bomb!! Release date is 9/25 as of now..
Summary:
The game is set in 1191 AD, when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart. Shrouded in secrecy and feared for their ruthlessness, the Assassins intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Players, assuming the role of the main character Altair, will have the power to throw their immediate environment into chaos and to shape events during this pivotal moment in history.
Latest Trailer (thanks taffer)

I highly doubt the release date will stay 9/25 but if it does I'll be buying this one before I get Halo for sure. This and Mass Effect are my two most anticipated games this year.

I'm going to combine Michael Corvin's and noonan's sentiments: Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed are my holy trilogy for 2007.
That gameplay footage looks incredible.

You do know this is being made by the PoP team right? So yeah it probably will be a lot like PoP. Assassin's Creed is not a pure action game like Ninja Gaiden. It is a "stealth" type of game where you blend in with crowds of people until you find your mark and then you assassinate him and try to escape. It also has PoP style platfroming.

Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed all in a three month period. Another reason why I don't watch much TV anymore. Too many great games so little time.

I like the bitch slap he gave the monk looking guy at the beginning of the trailer. I wonder if that's a special move.
