Re: Assassin's Creed 3
didn't expect this.
it's not French Revolution or Bolshevik revolution Russia. Yet, if done right, can prove a better setting then either.
hoping the title will have a fully modeled Boston, Philadelphia, and the Hudson River. The 3 key settings, IMO
Paul Revere's ride, Green Mountain boys, Benedict Arnold handing over West Point. Hope it's all there..

Re: Assassin's Creed 3
seriously psyched for this, even if the last game drove me nuts.
Re: Assassin's Creed 3
Macca, Teal, EZ, here you go: (via next month/April issue of Game Informer):
- The new Assassin is the son of a Native American woman and a British soldier. His calls himself Connor, but his birth name is Ratohnhaké:ton. Born into the Mohawk, he eventually crosses paths with the Assassins in his search for righteousness.
- Connor is quiet and stoic, letting actions speak for words rather than conversing with others. In contrast to Ezio, Connor is a freedom fighter who acts in the name of justice rather than on personal revenge.
- Settings will include Boston, New York and a large countryside. The countryside will be the setting of about 1/3 of the game, and will be the location of many events during the game. The countryside will be about 1.5 times as big as Rome in Brotherhood.
- The protagonist will fight on the American side, with primary allies George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Charles Lee. However, this does not mean that the Americans are the good guys and the British are the bad guys. Templars are everywhere…
- There will be seasons in the game, meaning that the sun will shine during summer and the landscape will be covered in snow during winter.
- Fighting and stealth will be completely re-innovated, with Connor being compared to a “predator”. The player will be able to climb trees and other natural elements, and dual-wielding weapons such as a dagger and a mohawk is now also an option.
- Animals will be present in the woods, like deer and bears. The player will be able to kill them and pelt their skins, to sell them later with the reformed economic system of the game.
- There will be puzzles similar to The Truth, only they will not be given by Subject 16.
- Desmond will go into the new Animus 3.0 and will find himself going into “significant events”.
- 100% sync in memories returns, though this time you will be rewarded when you complete memories to 100%. Checkpoints will also be introduced to mission replay, meaning you don’t have to replay an entire mission to get that 100% sync.
- The Brotherhood, or Assassins Guild, will return in some form, albeit differently than we have seen before.
- There will be no more Mercenaries, Thieves, Courtesans, Romani or other factions, but there will be a replacement for them.
- Den Defense will not return.

Re: Assassin's Creed 3
Very intriguing. This is a very overlooked period of American history for gaming, at least on consoles.

"Uses a new version of the Anvil engine that can “depict thousands of troops engaged in bloody battle” along with highly detailed face close-ups."

Thanks for the info and screens, Vinny.
The more I read about this game the more excited I get. Can't wait!

Re: Assassin's Creed 3
I know some of you people put Gamestop on the level of Wal Mart and Big Oil , but I preordered this one today there and got a VERY cool ACIII metal game case...that I brought home today. I don't normally fall for trinket crap like that, but this game has me so stinking stoked...I bit. But the case IS damned cool.

Not sure if our friends to the North are going to be too keen on spending $120 to get an American-themed limited edition, lol.

Re: Assassin's Creed 3
I've never played an Assassin's Creed game but I'm pumped for this game. I love the time period here so this is easily going to be a release day purchase for me.

Re: Assassin's Creed 3
I cannot emphasize enough how much my entire household is looking forward to this game. Yes, even my wife. She won't play it, but she's very intrigued by the setting, and the plot. They REALLY need to explore using the whole AC plotline in a series of movies. SO well done.

The multiplayer in this game looks magnificent. As Bart Scott said, "CAN'T WAIT."

Re: Assassin's Creed 3
Apart from the initial reveal I have actually stayed away from pretty much any and every story relating to this game - trying to keep everything fresh and spoiler free. Dammit I have to finish Dishonored before this one comes out!!!
I was hoping to play and finish AC: Revelations before I played this since I picked that one up on sale recently but there's little to no chance of that now.

Re: Assassin's Creed 3
What's the consensus on this one as to system? The TV commercials mention exclusive missions for PS3, but is MP worth while at all? If so I'd definitely go 360, but if not I may lean PS3 if the exclusives are meaningful at all.
Anyone?
Anyone?
Re: Assassin's Creed 3
I'd go 360. The PS3 version CAN'T be much better (if at all). Plus, as you mentioned, the MP on the 360, if worthwhile, will be the best of the two.
On a different note...I'm guessing my copy won't arrive as scheduled on Tuesday due to the hurricane coming. Oh well.
