March 5th at 5pm eastern time, Ubisoft is gonna spill all the details about the game.
Dunno. This feels like Last of the Mohicans all over again. Damn, that was a good movie. I'm gonna go watch it now. |
Looks sweet. I am excite.
|
That last pic reminds me of that scene in the Patriot, when Mel Gibson kills 20 red coats to save his son.
|
EGM revealed most of the details from the upcoming GI issue.

I will have this game the first day. Like every other Assassins Creed game I guess
|
Never played any of the Assassins creed series. I will probably buy this however.
|
Best Buy has a Steelbook you get for pre-ordering it. Word is also that Gamestop is doing the same thing. Heading to BB first thing then to GS to check things out. Best part is you can later return you pre-order and keep the Steelbook.

Ubisoft has officially revealed the first real details on Assassin's Creed 3. First of all, in addition to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, the game is headed to the Wii U. The new protagonist is named Ratohnhaké:ton and is "of Native American and English heritage." He has also adopted the name Connor, much to the relief of copy editors everywhere.
As reported, the game does take place during the American Revolution and "spans the Revolutionary War, taking gamers from the vibrant, untamed frontier to bustling colonial towns and the intense, chaotic battlefields where George Washington's Continental Army clashed with the imposing British Army." More details are promised in the April issue of Game Informer. Assassin's Creed 3 is built on an entirely new engine called Ubisoft-AnvilNext, which promises "breakthroughs in visual quality, character models and artificial intelligence." Finally, a special limited edition case -- which looks awfully familiar -- will be given to those who pre-order AC3 through GameStop, Best Buy or Amazon. Check out the debut trailer above and see the limited edition case in the gallery below. |
Trailer looks pretty good even though it didn't really show off anything.
|
im excited

Looks awesome. Glad there is still a hidden blade, its the only weapon I use other than the pistol.
|
Caved and reserved this when I went to pick up Mass Effect 3 this morning. :o

The Xbox Live Marketplace's listing for Assassin's Creed 3 briefly counted "Online co-op 2 - 4" among the game's various features, as well as "Online multiplayer 2 - 8." While the online multiplayer classification remains, the co-op listing has since been removed from both the European and North American Xbox Live Marketplace.
Situations like this are tricky, because the Xbox Live Marketplace has been known to list some patently false information. At times, however, it can be right on the money, so we're bringing it your attention. While multiplayer is nothing new at this point for Assassin's Creed, campaign co-op would be a major addition to the franchise. |

Can't wait to play this :( |
I wait to see how a bunch of French Canadians (from various ethnic and religious backgrounds) treat American history.
|
A few new details were revealed.
Only Boston and New York will be the main cities in the game so the game probably won't cover the other areas of the Revolutionary War. Story-wise, its set up similar to AC II where you control the main character during different stages of his life and won't just be during the Revolutionary War. Quote:

I'm totally going to assassinate Ben Franklin with a lightning bolt.

Ubisoft announced the same division, Ubisoft Annecy, that worked on the multiplayer portion of Brotherhood and Revelations is also working on the multiplayer for AC 3.

Been waiting for a game with changing seasons.

Pax East next month will have the first public showing and debut of the game. It won't have any playable demos but instead they will show the footage in a theater.
|
That figurine looks EXACTLY like my Cole MacGrath statue I got from Infamous 2
|
Details regarding the Wii U version were revealed by Ubisoft:
Quote:
|
that's really great if i wanted to hold a fucking tablet to play this. good job guys :y:
|
Depending on the console release date, I'll probably get it for Wii U. Guess it also depends on what else Nintendo bring to the party on ther launch games.
I'd get it on PC, but fuck their DRM. |
PC version is being designed to be played primarily with a controller pad but will also keep the mouse & keyboard setup the previous AC games used.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...troller-on-pc/ Based on some potential leaks, pre-order bonuses for multiplayer include 2 extra outfits and 2 extra weapons for Conner to go along with potentially a new mulitplayer character. http://www.egmnow.com/wp-content/upl...re-order-1.jpg http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...appear-online/ Also the original plans for Assassin's Creed 3 involved the main character being a woman but once Ubisoft changed the setting to the Revolutionary War era, they scrapped it and went with the Native American. http://www.screwattack.com/news/assa...o-female-leads |
They put Ratman Origins on Steam without their batshit DRM. There's hope for this yet.
|
Am I the only one fascinated by the fact that we will get the chance to explore some Mayan ruins?
|
Mayan ruins, in the Northeast :wtf:
|
Desmond's story will be at Mayan Ruins

Compared to other games in the series, AC III will have the most time spent in the present day and as playable parts involving Desmond. The doomsday scenarios predicted by the Mayans and others also plays a large role in the game.

A bunch of details from Pax East. * Connor moves faster than Enzio and has a ton of new animation moves for combat, climing, and other things. * Game starts off with Connor fighting alongside the rebels. * Combos are now momentum based since Connor won't suddenly stop after landing or hitting an enemy. |
A couple of details regarding the pre-order editions with Gamestop in the US and GAME in the UK are the ones who will exclusively carry the Freedom Edition and GAME Edition.

Guess I'm not getting it then. Fuck Gamestop. :n:
|
Really just want that statue, depending on the size. Will just eBay it. :y:
|
I am probably going to get it on Steam.

HOLY FUCK |
gonna be kind of tough to play this game with the massive erection I will have upon buying it
|
Can't wait to start fucking up Redcoats.
|
I have no words. All I know is my pants are sticky.
|
Wow I'm gonna string up so many redcoats from trees. Fucking forest of em.
|
That scene where he's jumping from building to building is a total ripoff of Bourne Supremacy.
Besides that looks pretty cool. Cornwallis is a dead man. |
New trailer for Independence Day. Or perhaps one to hype something bigger for Independence Day. Make what you will of it.
Also, special edition was announced. <IFRAME height=315 src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5hCoMTh-sFg" frameBorder=0 width=560 allowfullscreen></IFRAME> |
North American limited edition was revealed recently with the PC version having its own exclusive version.

As usual I'll upgrade to the limited edition. But I wanna get all those pre-order missions the PC version seems to be getting.

That flag would look awesome on my flagpole. |
According to rumors, AC 3 will have a Season Pass possible and Ubisoft currently has a team dedicated to just working on DLC for the game right now.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...h-season-pass/ |
I am considering investing in a PS3 for this title and other double double E games.
|
PS3 version is getting exclusive DLC at launch which was originally announced at E3 but now confirmed to be about an extra hour worth of gameplay.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...sive-gameplay/ |
:y: :yes:
|
New trailer to keep us all hyped up.

Some new details and plans for Assassin's Creed were recently announced at PAX.
There will be monthly challenges which unlocks new game content which also extends the overall storyline. Ubisoft is currently planning about a year's worth of extra storyline content for the game. Weather effects will impact how the play moves and overall visibility while objects found in the environment or equipped can trigger special environmental kills". Horde-like co-op mode similar to Gears of War 3 in a sense that your hunting down targets instead of just clearing waves. Also a regular 4v4 team based multiplayer mode was confirmed. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/02/as...tent-every-mo/ |
Fucking awesome weather's gonna play a part.
Sitting in a forest, a column of redcoats passing through, fog rolling in, start from the back and work my way up.......:drool: |
New developer diary explaining more about the AI, weather system, and environmental system for the game.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OzWuD0CQ2YU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Both EGM and Destructoid had hands-on previews with the game with their reactions being the NPC quests are a lot more expansive than the previous game, sailing is pretty easy and smooth, combat is a lot smoother and the best in the entire series, and the new multiplayer modes are good.
Quote:
http://www.destructoid.com/preview-a...y-235420.phtml Ubisoft themselves said to expect a lot of twists and "seeds" to occur in AC III since they are going to be setting up a lot of new future storylines to the point they don't need to finish any of them in a row or even have the same characters showing up in back-to-back games. http://www.shacknews.com/article/759...r-future-games |
Minimum specs for the PC was revealed by Ubisoft with the biggest change from past AC games is no Windows XP support for this game.

|
Thought this was class when I tried it out, wasn't a big fan of sea battles though...
Graphics seemed to decrease massively for them... Could of just been the build I was playing though. |
Ubisoft confirms the game will have an Online Pass and its going to be about $30. The Pass generates about 25% worth in savings if all the DLC packs are bought.
Also revealed was the 1st set of DLC for the game is a 3-part storyline campaign involving Evil George Washington. Quote:

Benedict Arnold DLC mission pack was announced to be exclusive to the PS3 version of the game. It will contain 4 missions and primary take place during his attempt to sabotage West Point.
Unlike the alternative reality Evil George DLC story, this one is supposedly being modeled around the actual conversations and plans Benedict had with the British. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/...-ps3-exclusive |
Can’t wait. So stoked for this.
|
Sweeeeeeeeeet. Other than Cornwalis, Arnold was the only other guy I hoped I would be hunting down in this game.
Paid this off this morning at Gamestop and I got all halloween to play it. |
pretty rock hard excited for this on Tuesday
|
Haven't really been following the info on this recently, but will most likely get this when it comes out.
|
Never played any of these games, the whole American Revolution theme has me very interested. After reading about the series, I never realized it was so focused on the history aspect of things.

Gonna be SSSIIICCCKKK!!! :cool: |
Ubisoft has added in a micro-transaction system for the game's online multiplayer.
Quote:
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-transactions/ |
Getting this tomorrow via delivery from Amazon...counting the hours and minutes now.
|
Poor student can't afford :(.
Gonna have to wait :( |
Yeah i'll just wait for this to become used. Don't care about multiplayer.
|
Two quick updates as Ubisoft clarified the microtransaction system saying all the in-game stuff can still be unlocked the normal way but is based on levels while the pay system can unlock stuff any time possible.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ons-will-work/ They are also recommending everyone to download the Day 1 patch since it fixes a lot of glitches and bugs. http://www.destructoid.com/assassin-...h-237663.phtml |
Just got this and booted it up and working my way through the first sequence, already noticing difference compaired to previous games. Climbing is much more fluid and easier to navigate around, graphics look top notch too. Not sure if this has been previously mentioned in any postings, but was suprised to find it came on two discs.
|
Combat is different and harder, which is cool
|
Harder? Sequels are supposed to be easier! Somebody tell Ubisoft to read the rules of making a successful franchise! You make the games super-easy so people will think they are good at it and like it!!
|
Love it.
|
So excited. Can't wait to get some free time today to play this.
|
I'm not too far in, only just got to Boston. Interesting how they're starting it off, I like it.
|
Yeah I'm only a few hours in, but digging it so far.
Though I know I'll likely be switching over to Conor soon, kinda wish Haytham was the main character, as he seems like a proper gentleman badass. |
Conor's pretty great(finally got to him), but Haytham is really cool so I would have enjoyed playing as him for awhile longer.
|
Nothing really stopping them going back and doing a Haytham prequel (or sequel, as I've got no idea how his part of the story ends right now) game. Although if AC3 really is the end of the whole Desmond storyline, not sure how they'd frame it.
|
I hate each and everyone of you who got to play this on release day.
Just kidding. Got my copy on wednesday, power came back today, won't be hooking anything up until friday. |
Did not see that bit at the end of Haytham's chapters coming, tbh. Nice.
|
I hate Paul Revere so much
