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.

Quote:

The following details come from the latest issue of Game Informer magazine. Their article on Assassin’s Creed III has a lot of great information, but here’s a few of the most interesting tidbits they reveal.

* The main character’s name is Connor / Ratohnhake:ton (pronounced Ra-doon-ha-gay-doo). Connor is of mixed race: His father is English, and his mother Native America.

* Connor will have “thousands” of new and unique animations as a part of the game’s new combat system. No animations from previous Assassin’s Creed games will be present.

* Assassin’s Creed III will no longer feature target locking—targets will be detected automatically. Counter and defense are now the same button to “prevent turtling”.

* Control in and out of battle will be the same, and Connor will go into battle with two weapons.

* New movement aspects to the game will allow players to climb and scale trees and mountain cliffs. Traversing the wilderness will also be a big deal in the game.

* Combat has an increased focus on speed and momentum, and being on the offensive.

* Assassin’s Creed III will be running on a new version of the Anvil engine, one which allows the game to “depict thousands of troops engaged in bloody battle” even to the point of having highly detailed close-ups of faces. Says that previous games could allow only about 100 people on screen, where now they can do a couple thousand.

* There will be a level of “grey morality” in the game—the Colonists will not just be the “good guys”, and the British will not just be the “bad guys”.

* For those wondering, yes—Connor will have a hidden blade at his disposal.

* Connor’s gear and equipment can be changed and upgraded as the game goes on.

* Fighting during the winter will put enemies at a disadvantage. Soldiers will have problems travelling through snow and ice, while Connor will still be able to use his more stealth-based means of movement.

* You’ll be able to hunt animals for resources, and the more skilled you are at killing them, the better materials you’ll get off of them.

* There will be no tower defense aspects in Assassin’s Creed III.
The official debut trailer will arrive on March 5th on the game's website.

I will have this game the first day. Like every other Assassins Creed game I guess

Sting Fan 03-02-2012 09:20 PM

Never played any of the Assassins creed series. I will probably buy this however.

G 03-03-2012 04:30 PM

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.

ClockShot 03-06-2012 11:22 AM

Never even used the pistol. Gonna wait to see what the collectors editions are like before i preorder but definately getting it :love:

G 03-06-2012 01:59 PM

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.

Did the same already at Amazon, mainly because you get the free Steelbook from them too. I have 5 on my shelf. :o

Can't wait to play this :(

BigDaddyCool 03-12-2012 08:57 AM

I wait to see how a bunch of French Canadians (from various ethnic and religious backgrounds) treat American history.

Emperor Smeat 03-13-2012 08:33 PM

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:

A seasonal cycle of weather will also be implemented, which will not only change the environment, but also gameplay. Enemies will behave differently in each weather condition and lakes will freeze over allowing you to cross them.

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

Emperor Smeat 03-20-2012 05:49 PM

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.

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.

ClockShot 03-26-2012 05:29 PM

That figurine looks EXACTLY like my Cole MacGrath statue I got from Infamous 2

Emperor Smeat 03-27-2012 05:17 PM

Details regarding the Wii U version were revealed by Ubisoft:

Quote:

The latest issue of Nintendo Power reports that the tablet will display a map of the area and various Animus database entries as players work their way through the game. The controller’s touchscreen can be used to quickly select weapons during combat and choose between single- and dual-wield modes.

Finally the tablet can function as an alternative Eagle Vision view, with players controlling the camera using the built in accelerometer.

G 03-27-2012 05:49 PM

that's really great if i wanted to hold a fucking tablet to play this. good job guys :y:

#BROKEN Hasney 03-27-2012 11:46 PM

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.

Emperor Smeat 03-30-2012 06:15 PM

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.

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.

#BROKEN Hasney 03-31-2012 03:51 AM

They put Ratman Origins on Steam without their batshit DRM. There's hope for this yet.

LuigiD 03-31-2012 03:58 AM

Am I the only one fascinated by the fact that we will get the chance to explore some Mayan ruins?
