Definitely. I love the franchise, but I can honestly say this one has me the most excited.
Agreed. This one seems to have the most potential in terms of satisfying fans, both in terms of gameplay and story.
I'm not really a fan of the series and only made it about halfway through the first game, tops, but this is one of the best game trailers ever. I watched it at least three times yesterday.
It seriously is a great trailer. It makes me ache for them to get going on an AC movie...though I'm fearful it'll turn into a piece of crap. AC is a gold-mine of awesome ideas that could easily be translated to a film series, and a film series with a large degree of originality and epicness.
Honestly, the first game was ok (very ambitious in terms of the concept, the execution was lacking a bit, however), but AC2 and Brotherhood were both fantastic games. Ezio is a much more interesting character as opposed to Altair (in my opinion anyway), and the Renaissance Italy setting and all the historical landmarks make AC2 and especiall Brotherhood (set almost entirely in Rome) very satisfying experiences for a variety of reasons. They really are worth a playthrough, at the very least.
And with this game, the scope seems much bigger. The beginning of the trailer, showing Ezio traveling to Masyaf (the Assassin stronghold from the first game) in search of answers, shows this game will be big...very big. The gameplay additions all sound worthwhile and not at all tacked on, though the final verdict will have to wait until release. But as far as I'm concerned, Brotherhood was an almost perfect game (my biggest complaints lie with the story, which wasn't quite as epic as it could've been, but this game seems to be solving that problem), and this seems only to be continuing that approach.
I just wish they'd go ahead and bring us Assassin's Creed 3: The French Revolution already.
