Assassin's Creed III Liberation Extended Trailer Shows Assassin's Creed
By Joseph Christ on July 11th, 2012 (4 comments)
Ubisoft has gone and released what they are calling an extended trailer for the upcoming Vita Assassin's Creed title, Liberation.
You'll be playing as Aveline, an assassin of "mixed French and African heritage" as you fly about doing all the sort of Assassin'y things you've been doing for, basically, the entire series. And though this might give Vita/Assassin Creed fans something to purchase that both further's the franchise and supports their purchase of a Vita, there isn't very much here that the uninitiated will find particularly exciting.
It will be interesting if the Vita's other functions are worked into the title, like the use of the multiple touchscreens or cameras, but as of now this is simply a scaled down, re-skinnned and portable reason people have come to the series in the first place. For many, this will be all they need.

We'll see how this goes, but honestly when I saw this I just thought 'Oh, some more AC content I can sink my teeth into.' but that's exactly the same way I thought about Brotherhood and Revelation. Ubisoft was doing fantastically with eliciting the usual AC hype with the trailers for AC III, but is this going to help as well? Please. Let me just jump into the new title without any other little Assassin Snacks along the way, I'm kinda getting my appetite ruined again.
Link / ReplyThis game comes out the same day as AC3 so I would just recommend waiting until you have finished this before you even start playing this.
Link / ReplyI wasn't aware of that, so I guess I was wrong there. But still, I just really care about everything AC, and I know you do. So wouldn't it be generally more worthwhile if you worked on and released both on PS3, 360 and Vita? If that took more time I think it'd be worth it. I just think it'll give Liberations more of a chance, you know?. I'm sure this game will sell plenty of Vitas, but it disappoints me because (in my opinion) this should be a 'full' cross platform independent game. It's obvious that this new character is largely different from anything in the AC world, and new perspectives and story may result of this, and I think this particularly unique piece of AC is going to be lost due to the Vita specific release, that's all.
Link / ReplyIf it's in game, that's pretty sweet. Just curious as to what this Assassin's Creed will bring that the others haven't already. So far AC hasn't wowed me on a handheld.
