Who here is excited for a new assassin's creed? Shika i believe seems really excited xD

I'm fairly excited for it, but also skeptical, because assuming that the AC series has a 3 dev team rotation, some of the teams that worked on Revelations may be making Unity (and Revelations was my least favorite AC game). I assume that there are at least 3 seperate core AC teams at Ubisoft Montreal since they are the primary AC developers with the other teams providing assitance, and the games have nearly 3 years of dev time, which suggests multiple teams.

They have three teams working on AC? O.O  Didnt know this.

Yep and Sanghelios is supposed to be a harsh enviroment there, matches the concept, maybe that dude right at the bottom is chief and he's looking for Arbiter....Lol although Escalation Comics would probably have to explain why he's gone back to his planet


Well if someone really is hunting the chief and he is on a rogue mission he prob could use some help.....Arbiter ;)

And is the comics related to the games?

I would absolutely love to see the flood return!  I know  alot of people dont like them but it brings back nostalgia for me.

So true story,  when i was about 14 years old i told my little brother (About 7 at the time) that Halo was real and that Masterchief really is out there trying to save us all.  I got really in depth about it and he was terrified of the flood.  I was kind of an asshole but it was funny seeing him believe it was all a real thing haha

Ubisoft development is complicated because they have like a ton of different studios that collaborate on their games, AC Unity has 10 different Ubisoft studios working on it. However, the primary developer of the AC series is Ubisoft Montreal, and since they release a main AC game every year, and the recent AC games have had 2.5-3 years of dev time, I'm assuming that they have at least 3 seperate core AC teams at Ubisoft Montreal, and possbily multiple AC teams at some of the other Ubisoft Studios as well.


I knew they had 100s of people working on those games but that is pretty ridiculous.  Amazzing theyve all actually been able to do pretty well with the games overall as that cant be an easy task getting everybody on the same page at all times.

They said there'd be new Halo news each day of E3. So 4 days. I'm guessing Halo Collection, Halo 5, and the Spielberg and Ridley Halo tv shows. We might even get a tease for Halo Wars 2 or another Halo game.


So a very eventful week daily xD

Good, the flood should terrify him! xD

I kinda put it in spoilers but I guess nobody would care about Comic spoilers ......that will most likely lead into Halo 5 xD I love the flood, hopefully 343 brings them back in a awesome way for the games (little weird doing it in a comic...probably would of been better as Spartan Ops Season 2...)

Need Halo 1 Flood type levels again =P Flood need to look scary, creepy and really powerful at the same time killing everything Lol they are easily the most powerful species in Halo and have an awesome backstory

I think most the book readers want to see the flood return, hopefully it's like that with most people who haven't read the books though =P


I liked Halo 2 and 3's flood more :P  Specially the part at the end of halo 3 with sgt johnson

Only one main hub town, Brightlodge, right now during the "Brightlodge will probably remain, at least for first release, our central town hub"...more added later

4 characters they have reveiled so far in initial trailer, more to come, and then more to come after launch for sure... "there will always be more heroes"

On question if it is open world - "it's more of a guided experience"...seems they want the areas to be familiar to the villian and the heroes.

Hero appearance, ability, weapon, all customizeable

Update mechanisms exist to deliver new maps, new quests, new heroes, ect

Will different characters have different points of view? - "the simple answer is yes"... villian has different camera view, some characters have different camera view depending on their role.

Pets may appear, especially with some characters that might always have a pet, working on ways to incorporate some "canine love". Didn't address part of the question regarding player houses

Kinect functions being used for voice commands, especially with the villian mode, but all kinect functions can be 100% done with the controller, controller is "main focus"

That has made me feel a lot better about the new direction.

Still need to see more of one of my favourite series!
