The graphics look disappointing. Here's hoping it's a great game nonetheless.
[QUOTE=Loadingue;47710097]The graphics look disappointing. Here's hoping it's a great game nonetheless.[/QUOTE] On the good side, it looks really fun compared to Unity. Plus, it's still on early stages, I won't pre-order it but we'll see how convicing they'll get. I specially liked the stream intro, where they talked about the public's hate on Unity and how they were sorry for it. Nice of them to acknowledge it.

The whole 'Siblings as two playable characters' sounds fun, as long as they're equal in terms of gameplay and it's not just "Here's your sister who talks to you in cutscenes."

This type of media tactic is being used constantly by AAA companies.
Oh look they are doing what GTAV did with the swapping of the characters during gameplay. how original.
[QUOTE=Brobattington;47710478]So long as the sibling doesn't get caught behind a door or a wall, it'll be fine.[/QUOTE] I'd hope for something like The Last of Us, where they'll follow you around for the most part but occasionally will lob an assist, grab a guy you're fighting, or maybe just straight up shoot them. [quote]Players will be able to switch freely between the twins during its open-world segments, while story missions will restrict their choice to better serve its narrative.[/quote] At least you have a choice when not doing missions.
I think we can all agree regardless of opinions so far that pre-ordering is not a clever idea in the slightest, because ubisoft. Once it's out and enough reviewers have looked at it I'll consider it, but until then I'm going to err on the side of it's a buggy mess and will be for a few months if not forever.

This type of media tactic is being used constantly by AAA companies.[/QUOTE] True, but still, considering Rockstar still thinks GTA IV on PC is a good port (it was on a Gamespot article a bit before the V PC release iirc), it's not all companies that admit a product was a failure. [QUOTE=DiBBs27;47710524]Oh look they are doing what GTAV did with the swapping of the characters during gameplay. how original.[/QUOTE] Oh look it has a circle shaped radar, same thing GTA 4 had! Come on, this happens all the time in every single sort of media, whatever makes the product more appealing and interesting to customers is done.
[QUOTE=DiBBs27;47710524]Oh look they are doing what GTAV did with the swapping of the characters during gameplay. how original.[/QUOTE]It's a cool system, if implemented well I don't care how unoriginal it is.
[QUOTE=DiBBs27;47710524]Oh look they are doing what GTAV did with the swapping of the characters during gameplay. how original.[/QUOTE] Nah, they're totally ripping off Indigo Prophecy's ability to play as multiple characters.
Only thing I am looking forward to about this is to see what Ubisoft will blame poor performance and bugs on rather than admit they just rushed this out because apparently Assassin's Creed is still relevant.
