Game Overview

The year is 1765. As the events leading up to the American Revolution heat up in the North, Spanish forces plan to take control of Louisiana in the South – but they have yet to reckon with Aveline, a deadly Assassin who will use every weapon and ability in her arsenal to win freedom for her land and her people.

Whether silently eliminating her enemies with slow-motion chain kills or luring them into deadly traps, Aveline strikes mortal fear into the hearts of those who stand in her way.

As an Assassin, Aveline soon finds herself on an unforgettable journey that will take her from New Orleans’ crowded streets, to voodoo-haunted swamps and ancient Mayan ruins. She will play a pivotal role in the turbulent birth of a new nation as she fights for freedom, not only for herself, but for her fellow citizens.

Designed exclusively for the PlayStation Vita system, you’ll take full advantage of the Playstation Vita system’s dual touchpads, motion detection, and built-in camera to execute slow-motion chain kills, pickpocket unsuspecting victims, and pursue your enemies in a canoe. This is no mere port; it’s an immersive experience designed purely for the PlayStation Vita system.

The game is set around the same period of AC3 but you control an African American woman. The story does not relate to Desmond. The game will also have Vita optimised MP.

it is also a fully featured AC game, with utilise the touch screen for pick pocketing (either that alone or similar stuff).
Not developed by the same staff as AC3.

I am glad the game has nothing to do with Desmond: an incredibly boring protagonist ever since AC2 with Ezio.

Hopefully whoever is the present day version of this woman will have a better story attached to her.

i am disappointed to hear that the MP is vita optimised, which presumably means that that game will not have cross platform MP with the PS3 version of AC3.

And lastly the game launches on the same day as AC3.

Well done Ubisoft: for a game that is essentially meant to be different from the main experience for all AC fans to enjoy, you are doing a good job ensuring it might get lost in the shuffle.

needs a slightly later release date, needs online connected MP.

Thank goodness that one dev isn't simply porting the PS3 game to the Vita, That's the big problem with the Vita at the moment, you either buy the PS3 version or the Vita version, they are essentially the same game.

I really would have liked an AC3 port. It would have almost guaranteed a great Vita experience, now I am not so sure. Yes, it's a different story, but I can see it getting lost in the shuffle, with lots of the great features of AC3 being stripped away and replaced with wacky touch controls.

Here's a larger photo. It's clear enough to read all the details. *pow* http://i.imgur.com/8AjuN.jpg

I'd like to see some gameplay at e3.

The problem is that the launch was front loaded with titles with next to nothing coming out the few months later.

But yes, it is great that the PSV title is getting its own identity

To be honest the launch list didn't overly appeal to me. UC: Golden Abyss, everybody's Golf and Fifa 12 were must have for me. Sony could've done better, but I am optimistic for the Vita's future, but this E3 will really give us an idea of whether the Vita will have a long life or not.

I agree.

But E3 should be good: new AC, COD, Ghost Recon, a rumoured port of Batman... things seem to be coming.

BUT

these games need to have cross platform MP with the console versions of the game... that would more entice people who get the console version: they know that their MP progression continues over.

Awesome Awesome sauceome. Well done Ubisoft - this is exactly what I was hoping for as the PSV version of Assassin's creed! (and they are really smart as they can use AC3's art/game assets as well - cuts down development costs/time )

what will be even cooler is if in the AC3 or the inevitable 3.5 sequel, you can cross story lines with your characters / import your PSV character data to PS3 or visa versa allowing for cameo's and crossovers

Some info from Game Informer:

•Releases on the same day as AC3 (October 30th)
•Location is New Orleans
•Female assassin named Aveline of mixed heritage
•Looks like same time period as AC3
•Ubisoft Sofia is developing
•Takes place between 1765-1780 in the period between the end of the French and Indian war
•One of the bullet points is that it’s “true AC gameplay”
•Will not connect to Desmond
•Will have “multiplayer specifically tailored to the Vita experience”
•“The game has been released as a propaganda tool by Abstergo, who want players to experience a gray area of the Assassin/Templar conflict as an assassin rather than a Templar”
•Aveline’s mentor is an escaped slave named Agate, leader of the assassins in New Orleans
•Wildlife like alligators “wait on the banks of the swamp or hide beneath murky waters”
•Liberation will also take players “across the Gulf into Mexico

This is so exciting. I think that the most impressive part out of all of it is that they are probably using the same engine as AC3, together with some of the new and innovative features that come with it, like uneven branches to jump from and terrain to fight off of. Really happy!

2nd reason to get a Vita.

Same release date as AC3 is a mistake I think. I will definitely choose the console version over Vita and pick the Vita one up later. Staggered release around Xmas would've been better IMO

I will be buying the Vita version first, just because of the lack of games. However I think that most people will do it the other way around.

Im buying BOTH!! SAME DAY

but thats cause im a Assassin's fanboy!

But I agree - should've been the month before or something - help build up to AC3's release and make the PSV one more exciting as it would come out beforehand

im gonna wati till both are cheap but ill play them cause i read that they FINALLY improved the combat.

man, combat sucks so much in this series which is why i stopped after 2. Glad its getting improvement.

Did anybody else notice this?

what are we looking for???

Some costume changes. It was very quick and hidden slightly with a lens flare.
