The US PS Blog was recently given the opportunity to play through the early parts of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations.
During their time with the game, many new tidbits of news were picked up. Here’s what the attendees learned:
“- The control scheme has been revised, pushing Eagle Vision to L3. This frees up the Triangle button for secondary weapons such as daggers.
– Altair comes into play via flashbacks following the thrilling Masyaf key retrieval missions, which are the successors to Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood’s Lairs of Romulus.
-The game map now has a Google Maps-style satellite view that I enjoyed while skipping around the sprawling city of Constantinople/Istanbul.
– The Den Defense mission brought tower defense-style sequences that are completely unlike anything I’ve seen in the Assassin’s Creed universe.
– I saw someone actually *use* the Apple of Eden.
– I noticed some different UI in the Animus, and started to wonder why the interface was different (and no, Ubisoft wouldn’t tell me).
– I saw Ezio stab a dude with a guitar – I think they called them “lutes” back then.”
That’s not all! The PS Blog also noted that the entire demo was viewed in stereoscopic 3D. However, you should note that this feature seems to be exclusive to the Playstation 3 version.
