    I've been wondering about this game since I saw the video on the PSN.

    I wasn't really interested in it, but now . . . I kinda am. What gets me most, is the fact they have guns optional . . . you can play through the entire game without shooting someone?! Now THAT in itself makes it different from the rest, and adds a big plus in my eyes. I may get this game, or at the very least, rent it.

    Well, I wonder if there would be a way to drop weapons, particularly in mid-jump or something?

    As we know, red = things to run/slide/etc across, and it seems yellow is for wall-running and climbing....

    Also, she may not have super powers in the traditional sense, but you're telling me that a normal (albeit highly trained) person could jump from those heights without serious injury? Trade-off between fantasy, and reality of course...

    BTW: There is also a story trailer up.

      I'd assume you'd be able to drop weapons anytime . . . at least you should be able to, let's hope.

      Thanks, I thought the story trailer was actually the same thing, and hadn't checked it out before. It's nice too!

        TBH, I am really wondering more about whether there would be the option of dropping the weapon in mid-jump/action than anything else. It IS pretty much a given that you could drop weapons in this game, since holding weapons interferes with your athletic abilities. Not to mention I doubt this is the sort of game that'll let you carry more than one (maybe two one handed) weapon(s) at a time....

        Would it not be cool looking, to make a HUGE jump, think "ZOMG, gotta drop my weapon if I want to survive!", drop the weapon, and see it fall down while you're jumping, perhaps following the direction you were jumping, and maybe smack into a wall?

        Maybe we'll even be able to throw weapons at people....

          Yeah, I see what you're saying. I agree I think it's be almost a must for this game. I know many people will hold onto a weapon, and then realize in the middle of a jump or a move that they should've dropped it. So hopefully they'd be able to in the middle of any action!

          And yes, that'd be excellent, if we can throw them at the people! I've always wanted that in so many games that have guns/weapons (the ability to throw the weapon at them to inflict damage)!

    I like how the graphics are colorful, but not in a goofy sense, and looks very realistic. Most games that consider their graphics realistic looks brown and dull, this game looks vibrant and beautiful.

    My favourite part in Assassin's Creed was the freerunning within the game, and an entire game based around the freerunning concept is a dream come true.

    Yeah Ameer, I agree fully.
