Rome grootste stad ooit in Assassin's Creed-franchise
Assassin’s Creed 2 producer Vincent Pontbriand heeft gezegd dat de stad in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Rome, de grootste stad is die ooit gemaakt is in de franchise.
Net zoals in voorgaande delen wilde hij samen met het ontwikkelaar zo accuraat mogelijk de stad digitaliseren, terwijl ze het nog vermakelijk en uniek wilden maken.
“For the locations, we’ve decided to make the biggest city ever created in any Assassin’s Creed game so a lot of the action takes place directly in Rome (less loading required this time since Rome is one huge map).”
"Again, Rome is a huge playground and with the Rome Upgrade system, the secret locations, the side missions, brotherhood recruitment and management, collectibles, factions upgrades and so on, there is constantly a lot to do."
“Also, there are unique missions, which require Ezio to travel to other locations in Italy (Naples, Monte Circeo, etc.)! You’ll get to visit the interior of various landmarks or get to travel to a small countryside city to destroy a unique war machine designed by your friend Leonardo."
“Finally, Rome is also the most varied city we’ve created, in terms of architecture and number of landmarks. There are many different districts in the city, from Antique to Medieval and to the Renaissance district."
“With Assassins’s Creed, we always strive to be the historically accurate in the representation of the cities and the events that are in the game. Research is the foundation on which our work is based on, so long as it provides players a unique and entertaining experience.”
Brotherhood komt op 19 november uit in Europa voor de Xbox 360 en PlayStation 3, de PC-versie komt uiteraard later. Eind oktober komt er een beta uit van het spel, speciaal voor PlayStation Plus-eigenaren.
