Assassin's Creed Revelations

New Assassin's Creed has just been announced, pretty exciting 
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/06/assassins-creed-revelations-details-from-gi-hookblades-bom/

Quote:
NeoGAF user SolidSnakex has posted a breakdown of this month's Game Informer coverage of the just-announced Assassin's Creed: Revelations. First off, let's get the protagonist problem out of the way: In Revelations, you'll play as both 12th century stabber Altair and his 16th century descendant Ezio, now over 50 years old. Ezio will be looking for "seals" which will allow him to access Altair's memories, similar to how Desmond used the Animus to access both Altair's and Ezio's memories. Speaking of Desmond, he's unsurprisingly back in the Animus "where he finds a safe mode called the 'Black Room.'" The gameplay in Desmond's mode is described as "narrative-fueled puzzle sequences," geometric shapes and all.
The lion's share of the game will take place in Constantinople (or, as it's known today, Istanbul) separated into four districts: Constantin, Beyazid, Imperial, and Galata. If you want a change of scenery (fairy chimneys!) some of the game will also take place in Cappadocia. Inside the cities, you'll be able to establish Assassin's Dens, a sort of expanded Borgia Tower mechanic from Brotherhood. Complete various scenarios, take down the regional Templar presence, establish a Den, and then "upgrade the buildings in that region along with adding ziplines across the rooftops."

Quote:
Ubisoft wants to make your time spent in Constantinople (and Cappadocia!) more valuable, so they've not only done away with traditional side missions in favor of random events (ie: noticing a shop owner being robbed) but have also given Ezio (and Altair?) a new item called the "hookblade" which can be used with the aforementioned ziplines to speed up navigation "by about 30%."
But it wouldn't be a video game if you couldn't use that hookblade to mess dudes up. Lucky for you it can be used to pull said dudes in for a mean combo. More interested in bombs, you say? So is Ezio! He can now make up to 300 bombs using a crafting system. Along with the new toys comes a new level cap and a more narrative-focused multiplayer mode with the ability to customize your character and create guilds.
Lastly, Ubisoft Montreal is using a new facial capture technology called Mocam which Game Informer calls an "intriguing amalgamation of traditional animation, performance capture and the fascinating new style of performance on display in games like LA Noire." And yes, Ubi is doing all that with another one-year turnaround. With the success of Brotherhood, we're certainly giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Not sure how I feel about having to play Ezio again, it would have been cool to see someone new. But the stuff about Desmond is pretty cool, apparently he's in a coma, in this place called the Black Room or something. But it should still be wicked, hopefully

I want to play these for the beauty of them, but the stealth turns me off. Could a non stealth guy possibly enjoy this series? I loathed the MSG games, i tried to play 4 some.

Oh most definately. I wouldn't call it a stealth game per se, most of the stealth in the game is based on the idea of hiding in plain sight. But it is quite a beautiful game, climbing up to the tallest building and looking out across the city is really cool. Just like in that first screenshot .

Why would you play a game that has the word "assassin" in it if you not into stealth? Splinter cell would leave you twitching wildly. I guess you could get really good at dueling and enjoy it that way.

You can easily play this game and not be into stealth. It's more of an action game I'd say, not a traditional stealth game at all.

I see your point. I mean you do need stealth to successfully complete certain missions and you don't, it can just become a headache. I guess I just wouldn't play the game if it weren't for the stealth option. Although def not anything too hardcore, the surprise kill never gets old. But after climbing up 100+ buildings from AC2 and then more of the same in Brotherhood, the scenery shot lost most of it's intrigue.
