Support NeoGAF

[CambriaRising]

I am more excited for this than AC3 itself. I still don't have a vita though

 

[Vlodril]

I just checked and it loads just fine on Chrome for me. So it must be on your end.
Are you experiencing a similar problem to the one discussed in this forum thread?

Oh yes its on my end and yes i am experiancing the same problem. Imgur pictures don't load in any browser. No idea.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

There was a rather negative preview released recently complaining about the controls, but almost every other impression and preview I've read (with the exception of one claiming framerate issues) have been extremely positive.

an alligator wrestling quick-time-event?! Yes, Aveline had to beat up a gator in an odd and over-exaggerated animation that left my head scratching. The QTE prompts blinked by far too fast for me to notice at first, but after a few tries I sent the gator packing. Aveline’s prize made me head-scratch even more: an alligator egg. Her guide made a big deal out of this for reasons I can’t fathom. I can only assume it’s an item for bartering or trade.

An alligator wrestling QTE sounds like an authentic South Louisiana tourist trap, bring it on I say.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Great OT!

I'm pretty excited for this game. Hope it turns out well.

Heres a sampler for the OST, by the way.

Thank you! Been looking for a new link with this since the last one was taken down.

I swear, this main theme is one of the best tracks in the series for me..SO GOOD

What OS are you using? And have you tried the (admittedly not ideal) solution recommended in the thread?

 

[garath]

I haven't bought a release day AC game since the first. This may break that trend.

I still want to see a little more gameplay on it. I'm already getting Ragnarock Odessey day 1, not sure if I can swing a second game for the Vita on the same day lol.

No but then i do not care that much Anyway we are derailing the thread.

Outside of the trailers, offscreen footage of the Rotten Barracks and A Faithful Acolyte missions are the only gameplay videos that I've found. Here's a full offscreen walkthrough of the Rotten Barracks mission at Gamescom if you haven't seen it (skip to 0:51 to avoid the intro and loading).

This looks really good.

 

[Ran rp]

Forgot about these. From the dev diary thread.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Looks good but I'm disappointed that the load times seem pretty long.

 

[Kyon]

Looks good but I'm disappointed that the load times seem pretty long.

It's a pretty huge game lol and Gravity Rush had long load times too

 

[Original Man]

To play this or AC3 first.....hmmm. Don't we have to play AC3 first to get unlockables in Liberation?

 

[Nemesis_]

Gravity Rush had long load times too

Does this make it okay tho

 

[leatherhat]

I wish I like AC so I could support this game. Looks like they put a lot of effort into it.

 

[OmegaZero]

Forgot about these. From the dev diary thread.

Awesome, thanks.

Supposedly, you have to have the PS3 version on your PSN account. Based on this.

 

[HardRojo]

Such a goddamn tragedy that the NA version of the game doesn't have the TRUE subtitle of the game, "Lady Liberty"

Has it been stated that Lady Liberty is the true subtitle? I hope you don't consider it to be the "true" subtitle just because it is the Japanese version.

 

[Acquiescence]

40 dollars on Amazon.com
40 quid on Amazon.co.uk

Fuck that.

 

[leatherhat]

Its the true version because its much better

 

[anddo0]

Anyone know how big the PSN version is?
I'm guessing between 1.8-3.2GB

 

[Original Man]

Awesome, thanks.

Hmm, might just start AC3 then jump right in to Liberation.

 

[Carl]

Load times for AC on console are hardly quick

 

[Foshy]

Anyone know how big the PSN version is?
I'm guessing between 1.8-3.2GB

Uncharted 1 was 18.5 GB and Golden Abyss 3.2 GB, so more or less one sixth of that.

Given that AC1 is about 6 GB, Liberation logically will take up exactly 1 GB.

Spoiler

I'd say it's about 2.5 GB but your guess is as good as mine.

 

[OmegaZero]

No word on that yet, but I'd say 3GB or a bit more sounds about right.

Also, I found this in the US PSN Blog comments section for Aveline the Chameleon:

1. I’m actually not sure if it is available all by itself… I know it is available first for PSN users, but I am not sure about all of the intricate details. I’ll check on that!

2 & 3. Everyone gets the same content regardless of preorder status. (Which is a fancy PR-friendly way of telling you that there are no preorder bonuses. Sorry!)

4. AC3 is basically the biggest deal Ubisoft has ever had, so it takes a good amount of the limelight, but both of these games share the spirit and atmosphere that Assassin’s Creed fans have come to love.

So yeah, it doesn't look like the Mysteries of the Bayou pack is available in the states. Hoping I'm wrong.

 

[Carl]

I like how they apologise for no preorder bonuses.

That's a good thing, fools.

 

[Kyon]

Does this make it okay tho

Yes because its an open world game

 

[Sid]

Is it really only two locations that have been confirmed? Or are these merely the ones we know of thus far?

I suppose two decently sized locations seems like appropriately breadth and scope for a portable game.

Don't worry about the variety in the environments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PRIFAYhqoA

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

It's a pretty huge game lol and Gravity Rush had long load times too

Gravity Rush had a long initial load of about 30-40 seconds but once you started playing it streamed most everything in just fine. The only problem was doing an optional challenge, restarting a failed challenge, or switching between world maps in which case it would load again for about 10-15 seconds.

If AC:Liberation is like that, then that's annoying but not too bad. It took around 30 seconds to load the mission in that preview footage but I'm not sure if that's for every mission or if the game was loading up for the first time and once it's started, loads are much quicker.

Supposedly you can explore the entirety of New Orleans without load times after the initial one. I'm assuming the bayou and other environments work in a similar fashion.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Omega, thank you for the excellent work on this OT!

This will be the first AC game that I've ever played. Really looking forward to it.

 

[SuWeDi]

Video with ALTAIR, EZIO, The PRINCE, CONNORS, AVELINE and... check it out!

[sublimit]

The AC3/L bundle is also on EU PSN IIRC. The PSVita bundle will also be available in Europe, however it will just have a black Vita.

Noooooo!

 

[Carl]

Noooooo!

Black > White anyway

 

[chickdigger802]

Can you still get new swords and stuff and find pieces for the ultimate armor set of the game?

Doesn't seem like there are more outfits than the 3 so far .

Or are there?

 

[PBalfredo]

Absolutely love her outfit. She looks cool as hell.

I think so too. Also, I just now put my finger on why she looks much cooler than Conner. It's because they're not trying to force the hood on her. That look just doesn't match the time period.

 

[OmegaZero]

Game Informer confirmed different outfits for Aveline's personas.
As for weapons, considering that you can unlock Connor's Tomahawk and the Ceremonial Dagger as bonuses, I don't think it's far-fetched to assume that you'll be able to get new weapons in-game.
I don't know about an ultimate armor set like the previous games, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had something along those lines.

ASSASSIN'S CREED: THE MESSAGE OF TIME

So basically an elaborate advertisement for a fan-made character?
EDIT: The fight scenes in the beginning were pretty cool, I admit.

 

[chickdigger802]

So it does seem all the pieces are here.

hope the ducktape is a good brand.


Seriously if this ends up bad, I might just sell my vita, and I never sell my consoles.

Your move ubisoft!

probably grab this vlr and Ragnarok odyssey at target next week.

 

[Spazznid]

Makendal Bodyguard multiplayer character

French
Agile multiplayer character

so, multiplayer confirmed?!
I find it worrisome that it hasn't been flaunted...
But damn, dat multiplayer...

You should sell it anyway, doesn't seem like you enjoy the system very much.

 

[OmegaZero]

Multiplayer has been confirmed for a while now, but we have no idea what it'll be like. The logical assumption would be that it takes after the previous games or Assassin's Creed III, but they've already shown ACIII's multiplayer in action without mentioning ACIII:L's.

 

[Comet]

Put my preorder in on amazon. I'm excited as hell for this game. If it ends up being lackluster (and I say this as a die-hard AC and Vita fan) I might lose it.

 

[Sid]

lol this,i wonder how he bears the 'native res' and framerate dips of 3ds games even when sub native on the vita looks better which he keeps yapping about in the vita threads.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Aside from LBP this truly was the best Vita Game I played so far (at least the Gamescom demo)
Vita owners are in for a blast. Good thing the boat touchpanel bullshit is optional as I found it distracting at best and broken at worst. But that could be because the Vita demo units were greasy like a roast pork and capacitive doesn't work that well if there's a layer of fat and skinflakes on it... urgh.

If my financial situation gets better I might be getting this and a Vita next year.

 

[bud23]

Vita?Haha,the work of ubisoft is amazing, I want more games like this.

Liberation deserves very good sales, that´s the way to go.

 

[Tiamant]

Hi guys, I just came back from an Ubisoft presentation here in Barcelona where they showed a new video of Liberation featuring "exclusive multiplayer" at the end. No footage shown but I asked to the guy there and he told me he had no idea in what consisted.

At least now is official.

Good thing my store breaks the street date tomorrow and I'll be able to tell you guys
