The MGS4 trailer is up on Game trailers and while not as epic or ambitious as the first 2 trailers from last E3 it's still awesome in it's own right: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21582.html

alright, yesterday's [and today's] Assassin's Creed viewing left me with the following to say:

1) didn't like the digital touch during play. Got into the way of the medieval feel. The weird digital distortions with the bluish tint, and the small txt indicators and descriptors when u change ur target felt kinda irritating, and even forced.

2) I was kinda' worried about not seeing the hay fly, and not seeing people react to this guy in white and red flying down against a yellowish backdrop into that pile of hay. jade raymodn: "luckily no-one saw that." uhhh what?

3) animations at the start did look a little iffy. animations during the free running session was great though!

4) where's the physics? that body that floated above ground may be a 'bug,' but if the physics engine is active like in the fight, then the body should still have tumbled down! Speaking of physics, when in the fight, that guy was thrown into the scaffolding; why did he fly into the air?

5) speaking of the fight: uber-greatness! the countering loks nice, and the brilliant camera movements are adding to the flair. Only unfortunate bit was that it seemed like they were coming at you one at a time. Multi-direction fighting should be a norm these days!

6) "Free running," "par cour" (parkour?) or simply uber-awesomness... whatever you want to call it, it was great. The only thing i'm wondering is, if you don't have a great memory of your recon mission, you won't be able to use ur skills in the middle of a chase. Maybe if u can set up 'beacons' during recon, that appear on a minimap during the second half of the mission, that would be great!

7) What were the alternates? What were the other choices in this mission? Possibly force ur way through the front door. What else? I don't see u entering a muslim's palace with christian monks [for example].

that's my thoughts for AC thus far. Hopefully these things will ne cleared up soon. They do have time till mid September (i would think) if they want to sell by november. Can't wait to see more on this game as the week continues.

you might be thinking, why only assassin's creed.. .well, cuz it's my most anticipated game for the year lol!
peace!

With all of that said Assassin's Creed is in a class by itself, especially with everyone and there mother releasing an FPS this year. I can't wait for that game to come out and I don't think I'm alone.:D

the only thing i didn't like about the trailer was close to nothing. i was very skeptical on the graphics of the game prior to yesterday [for which i have to hand out apologies lol], so this was an eye-opener. the only thing i'd comment on is that the floor texture on the drop-ship is kinda blurry. other than that........
