Assassin's Creed 4's idea of stealth is smearing on some eyeshadow, queing up the finest "Jesus Walks"-ripoff you can find, and heading out on the town to slice and dice dudes up! Hell yeah! :D

I'm not too interested in multiplayer FPS's, but this looks fantastic.

I had pretty much the same reaction as the crowd had at the end. The only thing noteworth about this is that I guess it's a reboot of the old Amiga game.

One of the RPS writers did a let's play of the first few levels of this. Looked like fun. Surprisingly un-spectacular graphics-wise though, considering it's from the Hard Reset devs.

Drive Club doesn't interest me but I've never like any "realistic" racers anyway.
Shadow Warrior isn't my thing.
The others all look cool though. Titanfall was surprisingly epic and I've considered playing the other Assassins Creeds just to get up to speed because Black Flag looks pretty good. I've lost my AC1 disc though :(

Eh, I wouldn't recommend trying to play through the whole AC series. Those games are big. You'll be burned out on the experience before the second game is over. The story is a bunch of mumbo jumbo anyway so it's not like it's worth trying to keep up with. AC3 had like a 5 hour tutorial at the start, which I didn't mind since I'd been away from the series for a while, though apparently a lot of people hated it. Anyway I'm sure AC4 will ease you into the gameplay similarly.

Lemme' give you a quick opinion of each game:
AC1: Epic storyline and horse riding to get to other cities, slow-paced combat, missions feel kinda repetitive, though dealing with main targets is great and requires thinking a strategy to kill them stealthily (or reflexes in some cases)
AC2: storyline is mediocre, fighting is normal-paced and you can make cool combos and kills if you manage correctly your timing ; includes a lot of stealth moments, main targets also requires some planning before taking care of them
AC2.5 aka Brotherhood: press X to make an x20 kill streak or if you're tired, press L1 to call your buddies. Fast paced gameplay and highly focused on action. It's not a must have, but still a recomendable side episode for those who enjoyed the second opus
AC Revelations aka outstanding reveal trailer that fooled people aka no revelations at all: Stay the hell out of this one, it features broken gameplay and Ezio acts like a superhero or Obi Wan (he even wears a Star Wars like cape in some passages) most of time. The moments in which we control Altair are few, sporadic and short. The "only good thing" is its colourful and nice artistic direction
AC 3: from what I've played so far when you're playing as Connor you have a lot of freedom as you can do many side stuff such as hunting, side quests, naval commanding, etc. ; also the combat system has been very simplified
AC 4: looks like it's taking the great things of AC 2 and AC 3 but still, Ubi could give us a little break: one title release per year is too quick
