The game is to support a new protagonist, the game is rumoured to be set in Egypt.
Recently, a release date was schedueled for October 30th 2012.
The Egypt rumors are pretty old and I'd not like the franchise to take a step back in time. Recent buzz suggests it's going to be set in the American Revolution.
That would be intersting.
It's been in production for over 3 years. So before people start wavering the flag, remember Brotherhood and Revelations were supposed to be filler games.
i'm hoping for more modern day levels, or for it to just take place in modern day in general. Would offer for some pretty amazing visuals, if done right.
If that were to happen completely as a full-fledged game with Desmond, the whole charm of Assassin's Creed would disappear. Guns would entirely replace everything. Knives wouldn't even mean too much, not even hidden blades.
Not really. Remember that scene at the end of Assassin's Creed 2, taking out a squad of templars with nothing but your hands and a hidden blade? I'm picturing more of that if it were to jump into the modern world for the next game. Just because guns exist in the world, doesn't mean they have to be the focus of the gameplay, the only weapon available. In fact, the levels would likely be designed a bit more so you have to use stealth more to avoid those enemies with guns, if there are any.
It would feel weird to me not to use guns in a modern setting. It will turn into Uncharted, or Splinter Cell.
I thought Revelations was the 4th game? Wouldn't this be called Assassins Creed V?

brotherhood and revelations was part of AC II
No one reads my posts, apparently.
Brotherhood and Revelations have and always were Filler Games. Every numbered AC game will have a new character entirely.
Supposedly, the main character for Assassin's Creed III was leaked.

Should prop put this in spoilers
Spoiler
I like the idea of an assassin's creed during the revolutionary days, possible targets?
Spoiler
I have a feeling it will probably be like the first Assassin's Creed, where instead of the enemy Templars being just random people of power during the timeline, it will mostly just be the British in general. Taking out certain generals of the British army, things like that.
Looking forward to this. I have Revelations but haven't gotten around to playing it yet :-\.

I don't recall AC1 having you take out basic generals, you were focused on killing templars. Wouldn't this be more like the idea of random generals being templars?

Maybe basic generals was too, well, general a term. Its just how I recognized them. They were people of power within the Templars, but they still weren't the main threat themselves. Just more of stepping stones, ways to take out the Templar power. The same idea could possibly be used in AC III, assassinating the leaders of sections of the templar, or British, armies.
But meh, no real details have been released yet, this is all pretty much speculation. We'll have to wait and see what they decide to do with it all.
I think the pic is legit. And I like it.

Awesome. Awesome to the max. Cannot wait to see more. The comments on Kotaku and other sites are pathetic and depressing. People seem to hate this game because you play as an Native American, in America. It's an entirely untapped historical time period that I for one, am extremely happy to see in a game.

I will happily kill for you General Washington. This is going to be something.
Loving the look! I wonder how much of the game will focus on Desmond, if this is the last.
:o OMG!! Even though I can't imagine what is going to be used for buildings...not too many tall structures during that time...not that there were in the first AC either though.
I just finished Revelations the other day and man what an ending...though I wish there was a bit more of an epilogue for Ezio though.
Im definately intrigued by the new era and native american character. Im curious how he will fit into the story since I doubt he will come from a line of assassins like Ezio. Im thinking he will more than likely be somehow conscripted into the assassin order at some point.

I wish they spent more time on the Altair sequences. A compete waste of story potential.
Really?! I was hoping for something in the game... :-\
I agree with you on the Altair sequences too. Especially after the "chase" scenes during AC2, with Altair and Maria. I was hoping we would have gotten more of their courtship. For all it showed of Altair it too seemed underwhelming or just not what "I" thought it might have been. I guess I was expecting more open world stuff with him and not just scripted gameplay.
I'm hoping they add something like climbing trees and rock climbing. Interacting with the wilderness like that would be an awesome addition. Especially if you can ambush people from tree tops or from hiding in deep snow.

I have a feeling it will. Unlike places like Rome and most of Europe, the American colonies at the time weren't exactly known for their spanning architectural cities. Most of it was wilderness at the time.

Great pictures. If there is indeed heavily wooded areas in the game as shown in the pictures, I am curious as to how the viewpoint system will work in those types of environments.
Interesting setting (although I was personally hoping for feudal Japan). I hope they make targets on both sides of the war, like in the original AC. I'd hate it if this became an AMERICA! f**k YEA piece.
It reminds me of The Last of the Mohicans.
Official trailer will be released march 5. http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1219799p1.html?utm_campaign=twposts&utm_source=twitter (http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1219799p1.html?utm_campaign=twposts&utm_source=twitter)
Wonder if i should get it for ps3, like I have all other Assassin's Creed games, or try it on Xbox or PC...
Quote•New hero called Connor/Ratohnhake:ton (pronounced Ra-doon-ha-gay-doo). He has an English father and Native American mother.
•More details about the protagonist/scenarios: You will experience Conner's childhood on the American frontier as he is raised by the Mohawk. The Mohawk eventually clash with white colonists who burn their village down, causing Connor to dedicate his life to confront tyranny and injustice.
•A new traversal approach that has players leaping and climbing trees and mountain cliffs.
•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. They later imply that if they used version numbers, they would be like going from Anvil 1.0 -> Anvil 2.0 or something of that nature.
•Judging by the images, the faces really are quite good.
•Combat is focused on putting you on the offensive and based on speed/momentum.
•The main character has thousands of new and unique animations (no carry over from other titles) to support the new combat system.
•Character details:
•George Washington: Interacting with Washington is one of the core relationships of the game.
•Benjamin Franklin: He's not a convenient inventor a la Da Vinci.
•Charles Lee: His role is a mystery.
•The game is set between the years 1753 - 1783 and is centered around the cities of Boston and New York.
•"It's not just going to a historical building now; it's going to a historical event."
•Event examples: "You will see the great fire of New York. You will visit Valley Forge as a location that is currently occupied by Washington's forces. You will visit these places in the moment that they were important, and hopefully, experience the reason why we know where they are today. That's the goal."
•Connor is in the heart of major battles, and they can now have a couple thousand guys on screen, whereas before it was capped at about 100.
•The overall story is still centered around the Assassins versus the Templars and Connor's journey.
•Not all the Colonists will be cast as good people, and not all the British will be cast as evil oppressors. They're trying to focus on how both the Assassins and Templars viewpoints exist in a gray morality as the Templars really believe they're saving the world.
•The French and Native Americans will also feature in the game, as was probably really obvious.
•The modern day stuff relates to that location in New York at the end of Revelations.
•There will be all sorts of wilderness in the game referred to as the Frontier.
•The map of the Frontier is 1.5 times bigger than the entire map of Brotherhood.
•The Frontier is not empty like in Assassin's Creed 1, but features a third of the game's missions and gameplay content.
•You can hunt animals for resources, and how you kill them effects your reward. A one hit kill on a bear gets you a much more valuable pelt than stabbing it eight times.
•The wilderness traversal plays a big part in the gameplay in the Frontier, allowing you to use trees, cliffs, ledges, and more to set up kills and combat.
•Connor does have a hidden blade.
•The world changes as time passes, so a field where a battle happened in one year may just be a series of empty encampments a few months later.
•The entire world will change with seasons, so the cities and the wilderness will all exist in both Summer and Winter settings.
•In the winter, soldiers will move slowly and stumble about in the snow, and lakes and rivers will freeze over allowing you new terrain to work with. This gives Connor an extra advantage since he can still use the trees and wilderness pretty effectively during this time of year.
•There are all sorts of clubs and groups who want you to join and give you quests. These are separate from the mission system. These clubs will contact you based on what you do in the game. For example, hunting a lot will get you an invitation to the hunting society.
•There will be a goods based economy, a new property system, and more Desmond stuff.
•There's going to be some new puzzle thing like the first person Tetris.
•There's a new Animus database known as Animus 3.0.
•They're not unveiling anything about the multiplayer yet.
•There will be more platforming levels.
•Full synchronization returns, but with major tweaks. Missions have checkpoints, You also get significant rewards for doing these tasks instead of a 100%. "Imagine a leveling system in an RPG, except there's a finite amount of XP to find. The more in-sync you get, the more you fill your sync bar. Within each mission, each activity you complete has a value". You can replay everything to increase your score.
•They imply there is something resembling the Brotherhood system of picking up fellow assassins.
•Aligned groups are gone, but something new is replacing them in regards to factions. They don't say what.
•There's a new notoriety system that is more hidden and doesn't penalize you for exploring risky areas.
•The game has fast travel because the game has more traveling.
•Don't expect more tower defense.
•You can upgrade Connor's gear and costume as the game goes on in an attempt to make it feel more authentic.
•The cities have a lot more subtle detail now in terms of ambient things that happen.
•You can now leap over wagons or slide under obstacles, including navigating over and around moving objects. The free running stuff also has you jumping through windows to trees and then on top of church roofs. Basically, expect the free running stuff, but more fluid and presumably generally closer to the ground.
•Connor enters battle with two weapons. The game uses the same controls in and out of battle.
•The tomahawk and knife are a "constant presence" in battle. They also let you do double counters and multiple takedowns, and you can chain kills.
•There's no more target locking, it just automatically detects your target. Counter/defense are the same button to prevent turtling.
•You can use human shields and other context sensitive moves.
•They want you to constantly move in battle.
•There are lots of secondary attacks like the one shot pistol on the Y button.
•There's a new dynamic camera to track the action and make it look as cinematic as possible.
•There is a new sprinting system also, so you can hold the button to instantly turn around and start fleeing from combat. They also let you kill people while still moving so you can keep chasing a target. They kind of imply you can even leap off of them after you kill them, though I'm not sure if that makes you faster or just doesn't impede your movement.
•They really, really, really want you to constantly move. I mean like they say this every four sentences. Not just in battle, but in every section of the game.
•They also try to keep you more in control of the combat than ever before.
•Game Informer really loves their animation system.
•There are around 2.5 hours of character scenes in the game that are fully acted and recorded. They mean this in Naughty Dog style where they have the actors being mocaped while performing on a set that resembles the scene in the game.
•They're aiming for accuracy by having historical dialog consultants and actual Native American actors.
•This game has the longest development cycle since AC1, and has twice the production capacity (in terms of work hours) and budget of Revelations.
•They want the game to feel like AC3.5, and the game will have its first version complete in just a few more weeks, at which point they're going to spend the rest of their time refining it.

I skipped out on Brotherhood and Revalations but dear god if the game really has all these features I will definitely be getting back into Assassins creed.
I don't know why some people skipped Brotherhood and Revelations, since they're as important to the story as AC and AC2 were and moved the franchise forward instead of being quick cash-ins.
Brotherhood and Revelations expands on Ezio, Desmond and the Templars. They are not worth missing out.

That's all I wanted to hear.
Yeah, I was disappointed with the amount of ignorance from people who said "Ac3 or no buy" to Revelations or Brotherhood. Seriously, they first hinted at the Revolution in Brotherhood of all things. Turin New York, to be precise. And Shaun talking about the Magna Carta, the French Revolution, and the Masonic Eye..

the new assassin is called connor and the game is set in new york and beyond and you will be able to hunt and sell the parts and it should be supporting up to 4 player co-op

one thing i don't understand about the freedom edition. does the game come in a normal game case and just has a steelbook in there for the option of having it in a steelbook or does it come just in a steelbook with no normal case at all. the pictures and descriptions to me seem to say that my first guess is right and that you will get both

Really can't wait to play this game. I've already pre-ordered ;D
Now im even more stoked for Assassin's Creed III!
This looks great but ive only played the first game and I didnt even finish it as it became tedious. Ive heard the sequels are leaps and bounds better than the first game so I may give this series another try at some point. Theyre all dirt cheap anyway and you get a code to download the first game. Or theres a double pack of the first two games being released on Friday thats pretty cheap.
I will probably love the first game if I give it the time of day. It was the very first game I got with my PS3 and there was so many new games I was trying I just lost interest and was never compelled to finish it. Same thing happened with GTAIV but I finished that and its add-ons for the first time last year and loved it after initially not liking it.
I got downright frustrated with some of the combat mechancis in AC1,(especially with the buildup to and fight with Robert De Sable), probably moreso because I had already played 2.
Yeah, definitely. Luckily, I got to ACI before playing ACII, so I really got to enjoy the improvements more.
definately cant wait for AC3,one of my favorite game series. I'm glad they chose this era to set it in as its a time ripe full of conspiracy.
the freedom of movement and tree walking sound fantastic.
I would love to see an assassins creed game set in feudal japan with ninjas and samurai

Right im sure somebody can help me out here as im new to Assassin's Creed. Well I did play the first game 4 years ago but never finished it. Anyway I've recently picked up the first two games and im about halfway through the first game. I just wanted to know what benefits or rewards (if any) are there for collecting all the flags and killing all 60 Templar soldiers?
If there aren't any I'll just plod on with the investigations and the assassinations until I finish the game. It's a real chore at the minute because its the same shit over and over again but Ive heard from so many people that the sequels are so much better so I might as well see this through to get the whole story. Don't really want to mess around with unneccessary shit if it does nothing.
Don't bother with the flags and soldiers in the first game, they dont get you anything. The feathers in the second game get you an OK reward though.
Edit: you do get an achievement but its not really worth it.
Im not fussed about achievements / trophies. It's just when I looked at all the memories it looks theres a memory after the final one and I was wondering if that was an extra memory unlocked if you find everything in the game. If there's nothing like, i'll just stick to the main game.
I would suggest getting through the first game quickly, and taking your time with 2 and Brotherhood. I haven't been able to finish revelations myself. Its really starting to show its age.
Are Brotherhood and Revelations basically just extensions to Assassin's Creed II?
Im ploughing through the first game quickly enough and im still climbing every view point and doing all the investigations. There's some nice little nuggets of info to be found from doing them. You could fly through this game actually if you only did the minimum requirement of investigations and didnt bother with rescuing civilians but for the sake of unlocking as many memories as I can (bar the flags and templars) I dont mind doing them.
They are, but they add a lot to it. Especially Brotherhood. I was surprised with how much Brotherhood added to the franchise. And it has some very good story elements that cannot be missed. Revelations adds even more, but its running on such old framework that you can tell its time they changed things up. It has some pretty frustrating missions, but at I think the story so far more than makes up for it.
I guess it really comes down to how much you like the character of Ezio. He's one of my favorite characters of this generation, so I felt compelled to stick by him and see his story end.
Well hopefully Ezio is a better character than Altair. He's just not developed enough at all to even care about him. Its the story with its unravelling conspiracies, the history and the setting thats appealing in the first game, not the characters.
Trust me, Ezio is quite a bit more interesting than Altair.
I'm currently in the progress of playing Revelations but I skipped Brotherhood altogether. :-X
Ezio is by far one of the best characters of this generation. At least to me. I think the second game will do a much better job of investing you in the characters. And Brotherhood introduces some nice characters too.
One thing Revelations has going for it is a hilarious mission involving Ezio and a lute. classic.
Just killed William. Really enjoyed this one because it went off without a hitch. Climbed the outer walls of the castle, took out the archers around the perimeter silently, snuck into the small courtyard where he is berating his men and waited for everyone to leave and then dropped down from the roof and wham.
Kinda annoying how throwing knives dont work on assassinations. They work on regular enemies but they cause the alarm to be raised and the target to either run or attack you. Found that out with the big fat man at the party. Climbed up to a roof and had a vantage point behind him, tried to use my throwing knives and the bastard ran away screaming so I had to chase the fat f**k down.
Im starting to think I should play through AC1 again.. Its been so long. I remember that mission perfectly though.
I gotta love Sibrand. Crazy horned bastard wouldn't stop yelling at his own soldiers.

the AC franchise just keeps getting better with each game my current favourite is revelations but i know that ac3 will beat it. revelations has a really nice and touching ending
Still, Embers was so depressing.
I honestly prefered Brotherhood over Revelations, it just had something. Something I can't put my finger on, maybe it was the setting of Rome or the graphics.

or maybe that you could use a horse within the city. I wonder why they took that ability out of revelations?

Im not fussed about achievements / trophies. It's just when I looked at all the memories it looks theres a memory after the final one and I was wondering if that was an extra memory unlocked if you find everything in the game. If there's nothing like, i'll just stick to the main game.
I'm not sure, but I think that memory comes from the interacting with what's her name outside the animus AND talking to the contracts during each "death" cutscene. You're supposed to hit a button each time the screen has static on it and if you hit enough of them (85% of the ones in the game), it unlocks a memory. An achievement for sure but I think a bit of memory as well.

They did?
I never noticed that, besides...
Spoiler
...more fun without the horse
The Kingdom in the first game seems so pointless, its like padding to the game. Once you get to the point in the game when you can skip to a location you never ever need to go back to the kindom unless you just enjoy the horseride, getting chased by endless people on the way.
I think it's only there for the start of the game and a place to hide more Templars/flags..
It made the game seem a lot bigger than it was too. A few missions woulda been awesome because I loved that huge Crusader camp you could sneak into and assassinate the Templar.
Jesus the fight with Robert De Sable was a bit of a sudden difficulty spike. There had been some tough fights before him, like the one with his decoy but damn that drove me up the f**king wall. Kinda ruined the moment because i had to cheapen the fight by running in circles to heal and then fight him again and then when i knocked him to the ground with a counter i just jumped on him and used my wrist blade for a quick kill. Absolute dogshit of a fight where at first it seems impossibly hard and then we you realise the easy way its pathetic.

Just dodge everyone else and wait for him to strike then use hidden blade.
That whole last hour was terrible. Almost ruined the game for me. Fighting to get to Robert was brilliant at first and then when you reach him (after taking down what seems like hundreds of guys) theres a pretty awesome cutscene of you talking to the king and then it cuts to you having to piss about dodging and countering until Robert shows his face and then you kill him cheaply because if you try and make the fight last a bit longer or make it entertaining he just f**king owns you. Then its more of the same as you fight more waves of enemies on the way back to the Assassin's castle and then again its just more annoying waves of enemies and then a surprisngly easy final boss.
I very much doubt I will ever put myself through playing this game in its entirety ever again. I may dabble with some of the assassination's to see if I can pull them off a bit better but other than that, f**k that.
Right now it's time for Assassin's Creed II which I have been assured is much, much better.
I warned you :laugh: j/k.
Yeah I got so frustrated fighting his lackeys right before him, I think I only made it to Robert like 3 times out of 20 attempts..but killed him the that 3rd time. I ranted about it as well that Altair is no warrior he's an assassin and doesn't really fight like one so all those soldiers at once kind of took me out of it.
ACII is much better...you will forget all about Altair right after you plug into the animus 2.0 ;)
Already have. My god I cant believe how much of an improvement it is over the first game. Feel stupid for swerving the AC games because of the first game all these years. It blows the first game out of the water in every way I can think of.
I'm the only one here who did all of AC1 with just the hidden and short blades wasn't I?
One thing all the AC games have in greatness is the soundtracks,seriously some epic scores.
My god just when I keep thinking AC II has no more surprises, it just keeps throwing more and more awesome shit at me, but it doesn't do it all at once. Ive been playing for about 6 hours and there's still more and more new shit that's making the game even more entertaining and engrossing. I'm only just starting sequence 4 and even though so much stuff has happened it feels like ive barely scratched the surface (both with the content of the game and the story itself).
Quick question by the way. Even though ive already started my playthrough will Sequence 12 and 13 be a part of my story as I play if I purchase them before I get to that point in the game. Obviously im talking about the two DLC sequences?
You've barely scratched the surface, Keg.
S'long as you purchase 'em before the end of the game, you'll be able to access them.
So as long as I have them installed before I get to that point in the game, I can play them as the story unfolds rather than after the main game? If so, sweet.
Oh and im absolutely loving those glyphs you find on certain buildings that you need to solve a puzzle to unlock their secrets. Well intrigued to see where this leads. So far ive found 7 of them.
Battle of Forli is shit, not worth the price. Bonfire of the Vanities however is awesome. If you hated ACI but loved the Assassination targets, Bonfire of the Vanities in a way is a rehash of many of those assassinations. No way are they the same but you definitely get the vibe from the situation.

Jesus christ I can't wait to play this game...I wonder if that scene where he jumps into the bedroom then out the other window was scripted or just something you can do...
The bow and arrow looks great, and the way you just flow from enemy to enemy is great!
it's just something you can do. it's a single player chase breaker and only certain buildings will have it
I just want them to show him killing some Americans. I know they said there'll be enemies on both sides, but I'd like that idea to be carried over into the advertising. So far this looks like The Patriot: The Game.

You can stop worrying now. The Continental Army and the Americans will be an enemy as well. I have a suspicion that Washington will betray you.

They say is true, but this being a hell of a game looks like it might...
Saw the trailer as well while watching it on TV. Makes me pretty sure that Washington may betray you as well. Plus...if memory serves me...many of the Founding Fathers of the US were supposedly freemasons...ergo/= Templars.
I really hope you can fight that fluidly in the game. It really gave a Last of the Mohicans/Patriot feel to it.

I wonder if they should do a Assassin's Creed game in a WWII setting next? The game does look awesome so far.
personally, I think the whole WWII setting has been done enough in video games already. One of the things I like about the AC games are that they tend to take place in times that are interesting, but not entirely explored by video games commonly.
World War 1 or 2 would be pretty cool. It'd be great to see a game do WWI right
I've always thought a game from this franchise set in WW2 with your stereotypical nazi templars would be cool as f**k and could pay homage to Indiana Jones in some ways. :D
I just want feudal Japan.
I could enjoy Feudal Japan as well as long as they keep with the historical accuracies and not make it a "ninja vs ninjas and or samuari" thing...I know it's AC but for some reason I fear it could become that.
I think it'd be more than that. They always have gone the extra mile to make things accurate (apart from changes for story).
So guys, what are your expectations for this game?

Oh, the things you can do with an entrenching tool...
I could actually see that working. They could fit some scouting missions in, that would expand your trenches, making it easier to get places without being shot to hell.
Yeah. The Gunmen in Revelations were annoying as hell, and I can only imagine Musketeers are going to be even worse. But you want to go head-to-head with World war II Thompson's and MP44's?

I didn't know they had World War II way back during World War I.
Forgive me for my xenophobia of the WW2 setting in an AC game. Still, any weapons that fire more than 1 shot per minute is going to be a tough fighter in the AC universe.

Taken from a video comment:
QuoteSomething tells me that Ubisoft is creating this bias on purpose. Some kind of advertising stunt which will somehow end with their actual game getting higher ratings due to the trailers' implied messages contradicting with the actual plot of AC3. Lowers expectations only for the satisfaction of playing to be magnified.

I'm wondering if I can get a UK member, a trustworthy one, to send me one if I pay for it.

I seriously dont know why some people get bent out of shape for killing blue or red coats. Its history,it happened. None of those people that complain even exisited in that time so why do they feel some sort of attachment to it? Its why the middle east is in constant war because they cant let the past settle.
also,Its a GAME. I for one will enjoy the hell out of it,killing who on whoevers side. I love the history and I like to be apart of it in the way AC delievers.

I enjoy having no true Allegiance because it was one of the things that made the Lone Assassin feel unique. I enjoyed Altair's character too much for that reason alone.

I don't care how long it takes to do it, as long as it does. The best things about ACII-onward was seeing Ezio evolve throughout the series. If it takes multiple games to show Connor's full story, that's just fine with me.

Ubisoft stated that they wanted to show the Birth and the Death of a character. They did it.
I doubt they won't try it again...AC III being the last game in the series is too good to be true at this point.
Oh of course, but this game will be more focused. Connor will probably be a loner like Altair - with no family, and after Charles Lee burned down his Mohawk village he really will be on the fringe with the Colonists and the British. Who knows, perhaps Connor won't live past the Jackson Presidency (Jackson hated Natives).

Sweet, Connor's such an angry character in that scene but I can't blame him.
Also, new Notoriety system: Sweet.

Of course, Ubisoft editing the American version of the video so that it doesn't show Americans getting killed isn't going to help.

QuoteThe Tyranny of King Washington
•It's 1783. As the revolution comes to a close, a new and most unexpected enemy emerges. Driven by the desire to secure the fate of the colonies, George Washington, the greatest hero of the revolution, succumbs to the temptation of infinite power. The new King is born and his reign leaves no one untouched. To return freedom to the land, our new hero Connor must dethrone a tyrant he once called friend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dLL1nUoRtc#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dLL1nUoRtc#ws)
The "Grand Temple"... I have a feeling the Templars knew about the Solar Flare Disaster the entire time. Perhaps they will use the British Empire's 'colonization' as a means to try and find the Grand Temple.
I always liked the way Ezio just threw him on the ground after silencing him.

Strange. Washington was always the opposite in reality. He had the opportunity to be like a king and remain president indefinitely but he stepped down with honor for those exact reasons. The DLC looks cool but I don't know if I can kill George Washington...
Well that's kind of what they are going for here in the DLC - an alternate history where what if Washington did want to be king...

In a Franchise where you assassinate the f**king Pope, I don't think you should care too much about your targets unless you- are Ezio or Connor-

I'm just a big patriot, so I feel bad killing George. I'll still do it of course, it's just a game.
And Ezio and Conner together are 4/5 of the series.

Might I add that you will be killing targets in the Continental Army, probably the likes such as Charles Lee. The only one I'll tell you not to feel bad about is Benedict Arnold... The man with the nameless statue.

Yea I'll feel slightly bad, but not too much. Again, it's a game, I may sound emotional about this but I understand its not too big of a deal. George Washington is just a huge deal IMO, even compared to other continental army targets.
I hear Benjamin Franklin plays a Leonardo da Vinci role.
I was breaking down after Revelations combined with the ending of Embers. These games do tend to be impactful to those who really enjoy them

Initially, yes, but then Ubisoft realized he wasn't that much of an inventor, and he goes to Paris, I believe, for quite a while during the revolution.

Yeah, so did I. I'm not sure, it just fits it, like Assassins Creed is coming home(well for Americans, anyways. :laugh: ) It's a great commercial.
I just looked it up, and its a P.Diddy song. I was like -_-, but its still a great song for the trailer.

Well number one, don't ever say that. That sounds like a troll question.
You don't actually change history. They play off of the textbook history being as it is because of the Templars. But all events, character deaths, and everything else are historically accurate down to the very month and year.
You don't time travel, you relive Genetic Memory through the Ancestors of Desmond Miles who was a Modern Day Assassin. He does this through a machine created by the Templars called the Animus.
There's a lot more to it, but I won't spoil the basic story or concepts other than that.
Grimes, play the f**king games right now!
Like I said, don't know much about the franchise, so thanks for clearing that up :) Which would be the best game in the series to buy and/or play first?

Well, for story sake, I say start at the beginning, BUT if you could only get one, I would say 2, because he plays better than 1.

If you want to experiance it fully go from AC1,ACII improves on what AC1 lacks but stay for the story. Otherwise you can Start at AC3 and there is a 'previously on AC' segment. But I you wont have the attachment and feeling as those like me that have played since AC1.

Well, that depends if you want to play from the very beginning. Each intro after the first game pretty much recaps every game and it's important parts so you can have a sense of what's happening. So it all depends on you, just know that AC II, AC: Brotherhood, and AC: Revelations is basically a trilogy which ends by also closing the chapter from the first game.
Either way, I'll start you off with the trailer for the first game:

How is the gameplay? Is it like Halo, Batman: Arkham Asylum/City, or something different?

The first game is a very repetitive game, but worth getting through because of the over-arching storyline. AC2 is one of my favorite games of this generation of hardware and is absolutely worth playing.

That look's cool. If I can find it at my local pawn shop for less than 10 bucks, I'll buy it.
Great, now I need to go play AC2 to keep myself from crying over the third. :laugh:

I paid off AC3 today in full, and picked up a new copy of AC:R, hopefully I'll have time to beat it before Tuesday.

Good luck with that. It might be a short game but take your time with it.
I hope to God you all start using spoiler tags in the coming days.
You probably wont see me for a few days after ACIII is out lol,I'll be lost in the frontier.
I will be using spoiler tags, so fret not!
Also, for anyone that doesn't use spoiler tags, I'll just up and edit the post to place them in spoilers.
We all good...only thing is, that I will hardly be online because AC III will have me occupied like crazy.
I just edited down the theme song and I replaced the Windows 7 logon theme with it.
oh yeah. ;D
Really wish they had decided to release the game at a different time. Only one week before Halo 4 for release, I'm not certain I'll even have enough time to fully enjoy the story in that time. Makes me sad.
I'll probably get it around Christmas, when Halo 4 occupies less of my time.

I pre ordered ACIII when they first started taking them...that being said I also preordered/bought RE6(on a bit of a whim), and I even if I don't really like the game, I
hate not finishing one before starting up another :laugh:. I think I had AC: Revelations for about 2 months before I got around to playindg it because I had other games to play.
Anyone have any tips for 100% completion on games? Like, motivation and stuff? Also, I don't wanna finish this game in a week. I wanna do everything and anything and slowly so I take in all the history and stuff.
I usually just do a normal playthrough the first time I play it so I don't miss anything and can absorb as much as possible, I try to do as much as I can if it's along the storyline and doesn't detract too much(or be too frustrating to figure out at that time, I'm looking at you Arkham city!, otherwise I'll do it another time...although I still don't have 100% on any of my games...so take it with a grain of salt, from me anyways :laugh:
Motivationwise, if it helps me out(weapon, armor, etc), greatly I'm more apt to do it...if it's just, "do this to get 100% in the game", I'm less likely to do it.
I have a question I've only played through the first game and this looks REALLY appealing to me. Do I need to play thre AC2 and it's two sequels to understand this game or can I pick it up and go right into it without needing to know events from AC2 and so on?

I'm sure like the previous sequels that this game will recap everything for you. If you want to buy the previous sequels I'd recommend that you do if you enjoyed the first game.

I have the second game I bought it at launch but never played it yet probably soon, the two other games that go with the second game didn't really appeal to me but I may pick them up if I enjoy AC2.

The gun play is driving me nuts, I can't figure out how to switch weapons with the firearms. Reloading is madness because at times it's like you stop reloading when you're running away from enemies. I'm not touching a gun ever again the moment I'm allowed to use other ranged weapons.
Oh, and to everyone: I will hardly be on today and for the next few days. AC III, you know?

So far, it seems like if you interrupt a reload it will remember exactly where you left off when you go back to reload again. And in order to switch from a Rifle to your pistol or sword, you need to manually drop the rifle. The combat is taking a serious amount of getting used to. I keep trying to manually lock on, and it's screwing everything up.

The games recaps the important points, so you don't really have to play the previous games. But since you are big on playing things in order, then I recommend that you do so because it's awesome.
Okay. Friend of mine has 'em, I'm pretty sure. I'll see about borrowing them.

Awesome, Brotherhood and Revelations are a must if you want to finish the Ezio Trilogy. You also need to see the animated movie, Assassin's Creed: Embers, after you finish with Revelations because it's completely relevant.
So far Im at Sequence 6 pretty awesome,some parts are alittle slow but I'm enjoying it alot.
That twist in Seq 3 was badass,didnt see that coming.
I havent played the multi yet since I was just playing story mode so I'll get to that soon Shadow ;p
Ezio is still better :P

I honestly can't tell the difference yet.
And the Frontiersmen missions...god do I wish they allowed you to do more than "go look if this shit is real or not." You literally just go look for clues and once you find it, that's it the mission is over. The reason I wish you could be able to do more is simply because:
Spoiler
The Headless Horseman mission turns out that the Headless Horseman is in fact real, you go look for the headless corpses that are on the ground, then he appears, and you would think you would do something more like chase him for example, but no, he just appears and demonically laughs at you and disappears. How lame.
So awesome.

f**k that ending. That was the biggest letdown I've ever had.

Really? You loved it? That's the exact contrary to me. What the f**k was the point of getting Desmond trained the way they did? For 3 missions? And Daniel Cross/Vidic... yeah, such an epic showdown. They portrayed Cross to be a lot more formidable in the comics so that was a letdown too. I'm very let down by the Desmond ending.

I'm not let down at all. Doesnt matter how much your trained for he was faced with a decision at the time and chose the best outcome in his judgement. Cross was handled exactly as I thought he would be i.e - just about to shoot desmond and then slip into animus mode and freak out - I knew that would be his downfall. Desomnd being trained and such to end up saving the entire planet..I dont think you can get any more then that. Now we wait to see what she has in store now that she is free. Thats what im excited about,I love the first civilization. And I love the quick and realistic deaths. Doesnt matter how big you think you are,get stabbed in the heart or shot in the face your dead. Ending with the epilogue was perfect to me.

Yes it was!
Maybe I just suck at this, but I really think they designed Connor to not be very good with the hidden blades. I have much better success with the tomahawk/knife combo in fighting than with the blades. I did not have any struggles with Ezio with hidden blades except enemies with polearms.
One of my favorite parts in dialogue is when
Spoiler
Haytham finds a letter on Washingtons table saying to 'exterminate' Conners village and people. Then Conner saying "Let me give a warning to you both! If either of you try to stop me I will kill you."

Agreed. I just finished the main quest. Ending just felt rushed...but will be interested to see what comes of it.
Bring on the DLC!
I find Conners story quite tragic. His quest is more of a personal one then any alleigence to the brotherhood. To protect his people and fight for those that cant defend themselves well enough.
It is a sad tale,even near the end when you find
Spoiler
The grave of Achilles son called Conner,so you know why he called him Conner as the son he never had
I thought that was abit heartbreaking.
Spoiler
and when the british leave in the Epilogue and Conner looks over and sees the american selling off that black couple as slaves and his look of 'the hell is happening..' was apparent. like either where as bad as eachother. by the end of it you get the feeling that Conner would hang up the Assassin robes and just tend to his people,seeing that his vengence is complete.
The scene at the end during Evacuation Day
Spoiler
Where you see the black folk being sold as slaves, the impression I got from Connor was just like. "These people celebrate for their own freedom, yet would just as easily deny it to someone else who's skin is of different colour."
This game f**ks my mind.
Replaying it now and doing everything I can possibly do, I will forgive the game's
Spoiler
bitter ending. Desmond didn't even get his last words, Like Ezio did. It's just really angering to me, not even depressing.
I also realize that the Assassin's Creed Film could be a direct sequel to Desmond's ending.

It was fine, Assassins creed 3 clearly wasn't the last, Desmond played his part, and now he's gone. The future of the human race is up to a new hero now, one who will stop Juno.

-mind blown-
I really thought the side missions would be amazing considering the beautiful side missions we received in the previous two titles. The only side missions with real credibility were the Homestead and Naval warfare. Everything else like the Assassination and Liberation Contracts were okay, but very lacking. Even the Brotherhood Assist feature was lacking, and I understand why they did it that way. Connor was in no way a Master or Mentor like Ezio or Altair, and I did enjoy the several features your recruits can do but It's not enough. It doesn't feel the same.
Spoiler
Assassin's Creed 2 had such a charm to it. Assassin's Creed 3 does not have the same charm.
The ending was absolutely awful. The only way they could've improved it was making a time-based alternate ending where you might not touch the globe.
Angry Joe's review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA7mnoeXe3I#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA7mnoeXe3I#ws)
It seems like people are hating on the ending more then the Mass Effect 3 ending from what I've seen.
I think objectively and taken itself, it's actually worse than Mass Effect's ending because it really can't be considered one. Endings involve conclusions and payoff, of which ACIII had none. Desmond was cast off like a nobody, the big 2012 prophecy was given a brief 20 second end coda, and there just wasn't any emotion. Where were the goodbyes? Where was the epic conclusion? Why do I still feel like I know nothing after 5 games? It just felt rushed and inconsequential. Plus, it was more blatant sequel baiting. Why can't we just get a conclusive and satisfying ending? Why does everything have to be left open? I love video games, but damn do they consistently suck when it comes to endings because they insist on leaving room for another game.
Well, I finished the main story. I think it's a better game than Revelations cos of the different setting but the general story could be so much better. Connor just isn't as good a character as Ezio was. There's also loads and loads of bugs and glitches, at least in my playthrough.
Spoilers, guyz! ;)
Spoiler
I haven't finished the game yet. :laugh:
Finished it yesterday. Thoughts:
Spoiler
Post ACII, these games give the dual impression that Ubisoft have both focused very hard on getting particular mechanics right, and yet just shoved everything else in. I think Revelations showed this most, particularly with Altair's storyline - it was essentially the bullet points of his life, and gameplay consisted of 'walk here, and now there. The end.' You actually have to go out and buy their books and other merchandise to get the full story, whilst the games roll on as though you actually went out and did this. In ACIII they assume we all bought their DLC and thus know the whole Lucy-Templar shebang. Ditto on Cross - I didn't buy the comic books etc, so had to resort to a Google search. For such an interesting story it comes across as quite shoddy. Or maybe manipulative.
ACIII felt quite joyless. It didn't feel like the big progression that was ACII or even Brotherhood, where I was at least already invested in Ezio and his battle against the Borgias. Here, it felt like the story didn't kick off until the last few sequences. Haytham was a great character, but his sections at the beginning desperately needed streamlining. The last missions against Charles Lee felt underwhelming - guess it's hard to top battling Pope Alexander VI in the Vatican. Desmond's sections were again the same bullet point story progression we've had before - never really felt like he took the reigns and Abstergo's threat was almost completely neutralised even before Vidic and co were taken out. Desmond an co country hop with no trouble (not a feeling I got from AC II/Brotherhood/Revelations) and Desmond's father getting caught was too signposted to be surprising.
I can't shake the feeling that they spent all of their time on the engine and frontier elements, and then rammed everything else in and gave it only a cursory pass over. After five games of investing in Desmond and waiting for him to really take the reigns and have an adventure, for it to end like that (it killed him why exactly?)... well, Ubi had better have the future well mapped out.

sorely missed.
Gonna pick this up today. Just can't wait till Christmas.
EDIT: Played for a couple of hours. Loving the game.
That f**king plottwist. I did not see that coming.
Double Edit: Just beat the game... I really actually liked the ending, unlike everyone else apparently.

HOLY f**kING SHIT!!!! For all of you that just got to the twist, at the end of sequence 3! Wasn't expecting that in the slightest.
*WARNING, MAJOR SPOILER BELOW*
*DO NOT CLICK ON THE SPOILER BELOW*
*FINAL WARNING!!!*
Spoiler
Haytham Kenway (you) and your allies are freaking TEMPLARS!!!
Started playing this yesterday. Yes, that twist caught me totally off guard.
Bravo!
Just finished it. It could've been the best entry in the franchise if they did some bug-stomping before release and polished the script a little bit. It's pretty f**king good aside from those complaints. And I'm okay with the ending.
I just hope the next game is more like the Desmond levels of AC3.
Those levels were just fun as hell to play.
Finished the game some days ago...I have no problem with the ending whatsoever, actually liked it and in the end you managed to do what needed to be done...plus some other stuff as well.
The Captain Kidd missions weren't fun but fulfilling for the three rewards they give you.
To be honest, I had more fun with all of the naval Missions than I did with the rest of the game. Surprised me when I realized this.

I agree with you here, which if it wasnt for the naval missions I think the game would have been a lot bigger let down then it already was for me.
I had so much trouble on those Naval missions.
..Then, once I beat the game, I found out you can upgrade your ship.
It was an odd mix of pain, sadness, and rage that I felt that day.
Did I tell you I loved the soundtrack?

That trailer was pretty goofy.
I really don't like alternate reality Add-Ons. I'd much prefer an add-on that expands on the game's actual reality.
Who said the game's reality wouldn't somehow tie into this? You're talking about a series where we had a Time nexus in which Ezio Auditore spoke with Desmond, and Desmond meets Jupiter and Juno.

Very true, and at some point in the game Desmond was told that Connor did meet up with Washington later on in his life, but that those memories are hard to find for some reason....most likely he was being told about this DLC.

New information reveals that this is entirely alternate story. Connor never came into contact with the Assassins in this DLC. And its episodic. Meaning we're getting an entirely new story.
I'm never going to buy another Assassins Creed game again I don't think... ::)

Holy shit, sounds even better then.
I love this game so much. The game play is enjoyable and it is huge. So worth the $120 i didn't have. ;D
I am not going to even mention the ending >:(
In the middle of sequence nine, and HOLY SHIIIIT! Love the hell out of it. I thought the first 5 sequences had more filler than a Chinese buffet(aside from THAT part...if you know what I mean), but once you put on the suit, shit takes off! Main weapon is that gorgeous ass, Assassin symbol tomahawk.

I...take it your joking, right?
EDIT: Nope, no you are not... -----______-----
Where am I in this...I think sequence 11? The winter after Bunker Hill...a little further than I thought...anyways, I've put off the main quest for now to fill up the homestead and get my better pouches and double pistol belt. Not too fond of doing up the convoys to sell items...I've tried more than a few times with no success :(, but oh do I love to hunt so most of my money has been made with trading furs and stuff.
And the Tomahawk/knife combo...LOVE IT!!!
The best thing to do to make money if your not a convoy person is to find a spot with heaps of bears and just hunt there for 10 mins. animals respawn like as soon as you walk away :o not literally but they do respawn fast... Once I made around $30 000 in one hunting frenzy. (all bear pelts and grease etc)
Sweet, I know what I'm going to do next :laugh:!
Beat it. The final two sequences were pretty damn weak, except for the Battle of Chesapeake.
Spoiler
You finally face off against your father, you're limited to just counters against objects. After the awful Charles Lee chase, you don't even get to draw you sword/tomahawk against him. Talk about a rushed ending
As for the ENDING
Spoiler
I don't think this is last we will see of Desmond.. I think Desmond will come back as the hero, I'm sure they can come up with a pretty explanation for it. I quite liked Juno escaping and all that, instead of trying to prevent something, in the next part of the story we get to hunt someone down and kill them. If only they would have added another few minutes of good bye's and stuff like that, the ending would have made me cry, BUT since we didn't get any of that, that's why I believe Desmond will be back.
I don't believe this was a planned trilogy. Maybe after #1 they just had three games in mind, but after #2 I think they decided to stretch it out to six.

I acreed with the fight with conor's father was quite average although that type of boss fighting is kinda new to the assassin's creed games last I checked so I (and some gamer nerds at school) believe Ubisoft was just trying to make it different/new for the fans.though that's just a theory. I haven't played the others for a while (omg wtf ?)
As for Lee. oh the things i wanted to do with him. Conor should of thrown him in the fire and repeatedly bashed his skull against anything solid around him. Then a nice slow finish with the hidden blades.
I truly do hope for more of these games because ubisoft just can't leave us with an ending like that :( at least a dlc.
Spoiler
I liked the final confrontation with Lee. Both of them were near death. Lee accepted Connor was never going to give up, and it was likely they would both die anyway. He chose a respectable death, instead of fighting the inevitable. It wasn't the massive boss battle some expected, but I feel it did better than just a boss battle could have. It made me feel something for both Connor and Lee, which doesn't often happen to me in video games.

True. There aren't a lot of games that end with two mortal enemies having a nice little silent stare at each other while sharing a drink.
Now that I have this game, I'm too afraid of playing it and getting sucked in resulting in me staying up late at night.
just start playing it early in the day so you don't go too late into the night. (I'm the one to talk, I was up till 3 this morning playing)
I'm on Sequence 2. Little pissed off right now since my arsenal isn't cooperating with me. I'm at the checkpoint where I need to shoot the gun powder to gain entrance into Red Coat fort. I try to draw my flintlock, except I keep pulling out my sword. I can't f**king blow shit up with a damn sword people!
Found myself in Sequence 9 not 11 like I thought :laugh:. I did finish it though so glad to be done with the snow and the team up was kind of neat...I have a feeling where it's going to go but we'll see what happens...
I gotta say, holy hell this game is epic! I love the surreal cinematic feel to it wit the free-flowing combat and open world environment. Love games like that.

You gotta play it on a bigscreen TV man. With 3d stereoscopy enabled.
So I finally finished this today and wow...I was so close to the end and didn't know it I should have just continued playing for the next 20 minutes :laugh:
I really enjoyed the game but I really HATE those stupid F'KN constraints to get 100% during the mini sequences... ::)
Playing ACIII Assassinate game mode, coming 2nd,big points. running after a target that would have tied me or made me come first,50 seconds left and ....Ubisoft servers unavailable. and everyone gets kicked and goes into limited mode. wtfffffff. God dammit Ubisoft bullshit.
Finally finished all the homestead missions. you get quite attached to the people you help start a new life,you even become like a little country or clan lol. From protection to weddings and even
Spoiler
Achillies death and funeral, his last wishes and his family portrait
its quite touching and really enjoyable for the most part. Plus you get to see Da Vinci's flying machine and use it!
Spoiler
but he flys it right into the river lol
and Achilles Assassin Robes which are awesome.

Played a fair bit of King Washington episode 1, pretty awesome. Love the new angle of the story its interesting and somewhat fresh. new lands and characters. its good. bit tough in parts too. f**kin Dogs.
Goddamn this game can be so fun, yet frustrating. I'm on sequence 11 right now, got all the almanac pages, crafted all the Franklin inventions with them, but it still says 89% complete for that section on the progress tracker. And i already invested so much trying to get 100 synch in other parts (though there are some other issues...like no delivery requests on the map despite me doing most, if not all of them but the progress tracker STILL says 0% done ::))
Only mention I see of this apparent almanac pages glitch is on another forum's post from November. Frack me.
King Washington summed up in one picture.

Naval missions are cool.
But an entire game based on just pirates? Nah...
Now if they threw in another main antagonist and just had a lot of naval missions with pirates?
Hell yea.
There comes a point where suspension of disbelief is no longer there. An Assassin's Creed full titled game with pirates as a constant enemy is something that kills my immersion into the story. It's goofy, and silly. Moreso than anything else I've ever seen in the series.

This is sort of what I was thinking.
It's just weird.
Anyone hear read the Daniel Cross/Nikolai Orelov comics? I haven't, but from what I've heard, it seems like an interesting story and if a game was made, maybe a prequel to the AC series? Would help flesh out not only characters like Vidic, along with Abstergo Industries, but also Cross in AC3, who isn't really that developed.

Cross was always intended to be Desmond's rival. That's why I kinda just went "pfft, u serious?" at his demise.
Still stuck on eavesdropping on Washington. It is pissing me off because I want to play this game, but can't get past that sequence. Ugh.

circle around and take out every guard except for the one in front of them. Sabotage the cannons during this. Then start the sequence when on the rooftop. hide in the hay bale and wait for them to pass.
Finally playing the Washington campaign. I think Washington was a good man and probably the second greatest president we ever had. Also, his refusal of kingship was probably one of the most admirable acts in American history, yet I could see it go this way. If he had been just a slightly different person, it's possible that everything could have changed for the worse.
Very excited. I've heard good things, and the whole idea sounds great.

The only really frustrating part for me is right at the end, where I'm out of the circle whilst in the hay as Braddock and Washington move away. Luckily, I think the dialogue finishes up before the out-of-bounds timer ran out. For full synchronization, I found out way to late that in this mission, assassinating with your fists don't count as a "kill," which simplifies things a bit, mainly the guy RIGHT in front of the map thing you're supposed to go to after eaves dropping.

yeah I have those comics, The Fall and The Chain. great reads,and being Nikola would be pretty damn cool. You get to see just how Cross was and what he can do so I was pretty pumped to see him in the game and when Cross starts having his Russian flashes I was like 'thats cool!' but i was hoping for a more epic show down...as you know..Cross was the one that killed the Mentor of the modern assassins.

Yeah, that would make such a great backstory to how things led up to the first AC game. Plus a snowy Russia would make a nice setting.

I love Rick Grimes...but not as much as I love Daryl Dixon.
Maybe it's me but some of these mission constraints are a pain in the ass. Probably cause I have never played a game like this before.
Finished the second episode of King Washington. Another awesome episode with a interesting ending,cant wait to climb and explore the 'new' stucture sitting in New York ;)
The new Eagle spirit animal is cool too,makes traversing rooftops alot faster.

I got bored
Bumping this post to talk about the ending to the King Washington DLC
Spoiler
The ending shows Connor seduced by the Apple's power. It then comes back to reality, where Connor and Washington agree to hide the apple from anybody. A man, appearing to be a Templar, tries to seduce Washington with the thought of King. Washington completely destroys the thought and Connor throws the Apple into the sea aboard the vessel. I clapped at this ending, combined with the music score.
Just Bought this the other day realy impressed with this tbh, still would have thought the old umours of this been set in Egypt would have been better though.
