A new trailer from Ubisoft shows what day-to-day life is like in Constantinople: The Crossroads of the World. From the press release:

In Assassin’s Creed Revelations, master assassin Ezio walks in the footsteps of the legendary Altaïr on a journey of discovery and revelation. It is a perilous path – one that will take Ezio to Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilize the region.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations is available on November 15th for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and November 29th for PC:

9 Nov 2011 ~ 9:59pm Winfrey I thought it was Istanbul, not Constantinople.
9 Nov 2011 ~ 10:02pm Koreish That's nobodies business but the Turks.
9 Nov 2011 ~ 10:46pm UPSWeezer Already pre-ordered. I love these games.
9 Nov 2011 ~ 10:51pm Ilriyas I'll wait for Icrontic's expert (Experts?) opinion(s?) if they've made the combat more difficult then It's going on my 'to buy' list if not then 'to rent'
9 Nov 2011 ~ 11:34pm Koreish I don't know how they could make it harder, without completely retooling it. It's just set up to be very simple combat.
10 Nov 2011 ~ 8:16am CB They better not make the combat much harder. One of the things I like about the game is that the combat is actually simple enough to keep track of, rather than just stand in the middle of a bunch of guys and absorb damage.

The combat is just punishment for screwing up, anyway. I mean: if you are fighting a group of dudes with your sword, it's because you weren't stealthy enough.

Or because you just want to fight for the hell of it.

No way. Assassin's Creed is for sneaking around and stabbing people. ALTHOUGH, I GUESS YOU DO ENOUGH OF THAT IN OTHER GAMES, HUH?!

No Assassin's Creed is all about taking on 20+ opponents and emerging like a boss, completely unscathed surrounded in corpses.

The Thief games were all about sneaking around and hitting people over the head with a blunt instrument (Also stealing everything in sight, those games were kleptomaniac heaven I swear.)

Guilty as charged.
10 Nov 2011 ~ 4:25pm UPSLynx If this game doesn't have the hellequin, then I'm not interested.
10 Nov 2011 ~ 5:06pm TheAlertHusky I'm going to agree with Ilriyas here, if the combat is made more difficult then I'll put it on my list to buy, but as of now it's on my renting list.

I don't think it's the hellaquin this time. Just an Ottoman Jester.

Ah the Ottoman Jester...I'm getting really sick of that bloody ad where they're featuring the preorder content, I'd rather prefer to sit through a 3 minute trailer than another preorder ad before getting to stream.
