Assassin's Creed: Revelations - "No Mercy" Trailer

Everyone aboard the Ezio train!

Let's get the embarrassing stuff out of the way: It took me a second time through the trailer before I realized Altair was in it as well. It's morning, what do you expect from me? Ok, now on to the real deal! Ezio is going to kick so much tail in this game. There's like 2000% of my daily recommended amount of tail kicking in this trailer alone. 

There's not much more that can be said about AC:R that hasn't really been said in the first two trailers I've posted about the game. We have the story all but set, we've seen all the new weapons and one of the new cities (which I assume is one of several settings). I feel all but ready for Desmond, Altair, and Ezio to start their final chapter together. And I couldn't be more excited about it. 

So simply sit back and enjoy this little session of awesome, and try not to go crazy waiting for November 15th. Because I can't really make any promises for myself.

Soul Caliber V: Character Reveal Trailer

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?

I've never been a huge fan of fighting games, especially the Soul Caliber series, but this trailer may have just changed the game up. SC always loves to bring in one character that isn't actually from the series (Link, Spawn, that old dude with who was lame and didn't even have a freaking weapon) but this character reveal is the best one yet. That's right SC freaks, the newest unique character that will be available to you will be... drum roll please... Ezio freaking Autidore. 

This is a great choice by the Soul Caliber team. With all of the hype surrounding Assassin's Creed: Revelations, why not play off of the excitement? With the exception of Vader and Yoda, this is the best outsider Soul Caliber character to date. They better make him as badass as possible.

Who would you want to see in a Soul Caliber game? Leave it here!

Assassin's Creed: Revelations - "The Life of Ezio" Trailer

New locations, same thick Italian accent

This games needs to just come out already. The story is all but set up, there's a solid minute and a half of Ezio kicking serious tail, and I'm impatient and want to play it already. I expect big things out of the conclusion of the trilogy, and this trailer promises that big thing will indeed be happening.

One thing I noticed: the violence seems to be super stepped up in this game. Way more blood than I'm used to seeing in AC, and definitely the first decapitation I've ever seen in the series. This is not a complaint by any means, in fact it makes more sense this way. A weapon as brutal as the hook blade isn't going to leave a little scratch, it's gonna make you bleed for days. Is it November 15th yet?

Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Extended E3 Trailer

Oh. My. Goodness. This is such an example of how good cinematic trailers can be. Sure, the game is never going to look this good when it's actually being played, but that's not the point. The point is the story that is being set up here, the combining of Ezio's and Altair's paths and the huge ending that this series is setting itself up for.

Ezio may look much older in this trailer, but he sure hasn't lost a step with age. Right from when he takes an arrow to the shoulder and pulls it out like a twig do you know he's about to do some serious butt kicking. He proceeds to commence said butt kicking until he is captured and all seems lost. The high point of the trailer is seeing the Eagle right before Ezio is to be hanged, and AC fan knows that he's about to escape and perform some death-defying leap.

The addition of the letter to Claudia adds so much more to this trailer (which was originally released at E3) and definitely sets the tone for the game itself. Color me excited.
