Ugh I still need to finish Revelations. It's been sitting on my shelf and I have no motivation to finish it at all.

A ton of new info about Connor : http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featur...creed-iii.aspx

Apparently you play through most stages of his life, including childhood... pretty radical.

Pretty much the same thing with Ezio in AC2, though to a slightly lesser extent.

What's funny here is that you bought Revelations.

I don't quite understand this.

I thought Revelations was pretty good. And that's coming from someone who has finished all of the ACs.

Wii U tablet controller can act as some form of link to the Assassin's Creed "Animus"
Wii U tablet Animus can be used as a persistent on-screen map and navigation tool.
Animus Database entries that may pop up from time to time, could be displayed on the touchscreen instead and not interrupt the flow of the game.
The Animus can also act as an encyclopedia of information. Character biographies and bits of information that would normally be cast aside could be displayed on the touchscreen (take a break and read up on the side story & character history while eating dinner?).
Easy touchscreen weapon selection during combat. Quick change from dual-wield combat to single with a simple touch.
Using the touchscreen as an alternate view for Eagle Vision. Using the built-in accelerometer to control the camera view while in Eagle Vision.

No, it's from Assassin's Creed III. ApRiLs FoOLs!!! lolololol. Wow, I should be a comedian.

Should I read up on the history of the American revolution?

Collector's editions look cool, but no way I'm buying them. I'm hesitant to buy even a new $60 game; I haven't since November. Last game I bought was Gotham City Impostors in January.

I can rarely think of a benefit to buying a game brand new these days, let alone a collector's edition, that's just insane. Yeah, I can get all of this extra gee wiz content along with the actual game but $59.99 is already pushing it.

Indeed, especially when games drop $20-$30 within just a few months.

I see they're changing the HUD for the fifth time.

[Pleiades]

It looks nice, though.

[TwistRox]

The top looks empty. Is that him going into cover? Yes, finally!

[Spiderpig24]

This looks like it will be pretty great, this E3 will be rather interesting.
