A Little Desmond Dubstep in This Gamescom AC: Revelations Trailer
Posted on Wednesday, August 17 @ 12:26:52 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
I'll leave it up to you and your judgment of dubstep, but apparently the genre that can sound like sh** in your ear has found a fan in someone at Ubisoft. The Gamescom trailer promoting Assassin's Creed: Revelations is trying to use the discordant tones of dubstep to represent the player's split personality in the upcoming Assassin's game.
Will you be Ezio... or Altair... or Demond? Or all three at once? Find out when Assassin's Creed: Revelations hits retail on November 15th, 2011.
It's alright, back from camping. It's a good choice because I was once told dubstep is not only "life itself", "the music of sin and lust" (damn rock and roll you really lost a step), but "lyrics have lost meaning and dancing is the only way to communicate" which is why Ubisoft has something here, think part-rave part-expo. Game fans with glow sticks! Also, I read a post from a dubstep producer (when he's not working his slave job at the supermarket) call Shepard Fairy an apathetic hipster. That made me chuckle.
I'm replaying brotherhood right now in preparation for Revelations. I wonder what the split will be between Desmond, Altair, and Ezio? I'm hoping for plenty of Altair, but I have a feeling it will be mostly Ezio. In any case, I hope they keep the Brotherhood gameplay mechanics of the assassin support.
