Assassin's Creed 3

[Mysteryman83]

 

Well atleast UbiSoft didn't keeping their fans down and waiting too long. Unlike R* what a f*cking asshole. f*ck their marketing strategy. I will support Ubisoft especially this AC series. Thank u Ubisoft for this info and wonderful series. f*ck u R*!!!! I hope u all DIE!!! Especially u Dan f*cking BALD Houser!!!

So, not only are you a pirate but you complain when R* don't release any info about a game that you're going to pirate. You've got to be f*cking kidding me. Keep your hating R* bullsh*t out of this topic or post it in the V forums where no one will care.

 

This topic is for AC3 and unless you're talking about AC3, stay out.

FYI I'm not pirating any games I only buying a copy of it. I just saying that R* is an asshole and f*cking greed compare to Ubisoft.

I know this isn't the place, but what are you on about?! Neither Ubisoft or Rockstar have a large reputation for being greedy. Too much information too early is a bad thing. Grow the f*ck up.

Well atleast we have a little bit of info and screenshot of AC3 and that's make me excited. Unlike GTA V of R* is not just greedy also a f*cking selfish and very secretive. We just want a bit info regarding of GTAV was that too much to ask? I'm not asking for too much info. That's why more and more fans lost interest of GTAV cause of lack of info and R* letting their fans down like this.

Only found out about this yesterday. Looking and sounding fantastic. Anybody remember this from last year? Might not have been fake after all.

Yeah, except that says Paris. (not that I'm ruling out the possibility of going to Paris in the game.)

I thought it was confirmed fake? Maybe I'm mistaken. I doubt they'd of had ACIII artwork before Revelations was even announced. Still, cool coincidence if it is fake.

They added a little countdown on the website...

Can't wait to see some gameplay footage. All that talk in the Game Informer article of the drastically improved locomotion and combat has made me want to see how much of an improvement is. Maybe they'll employ some of that tech from the early builds of Splinter Cell: Conviction that allows objects to be picked up fluidly from any angle and adapt it to work with free-running. Their system for free-running was impressive back in 2007 but it felt kind of dated as I was playing through Revelations, things such as jumping over a small object really kill your momentum when they shouldn't.

 

I'm liking the change in style of gameplay. Yes it's drastic, but after Revelations the series really needed it.

I really like how the axe's blade is shaped after the Assassins logo.

Posting details here for lazy peoples:

 

-The game is set during the American Revolution between 1753 and 1783

-Assassin is born of white English father and Native American mother

-The Assassin's name is Connor, or Ratohnhaké:ton in native Mohawk tongue

-The story focuses on his belonging to neither culture

-He takes no sides, and will go after both “Americans” and British

-Both sides portrayed objectively, but Connor chooses to act “against tyranny” after a family murder

-Will be involved in major events of the Revolution (Saratoga, Bunker Hill listed amongst many) but it is his story, not a copy of a story like the movie The Patriot

-Key characters will come into play: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Lee and many more

-Economy, money, property all overhauled but still under wraps

-Den defense from Revelations will not return

-Multiplayer will be included but no further information was provided

-Aim is to create “a next-gen game on current gen”

-Uses completely overhauled new version of the Anvil Engine

-Game has been in production since Assassin's Creed II

-“Seasons” occur, with every place having both a normal and winter version

-Combat system completely overhauled, much more fluid

-Big focus on offensive style combat due to addition of firearms. Removal of 'target lock' system to prevent 'turtling' tactic.

-Climbing trees and traversing a wide area outside of Boston called 'The Frontier' will be a key aspect of the game.

-The area of 'The Frontier' is 1.5 times the size of Rome in Brotherhood

-'The Frontier' will not be an empty space like the wilderness of Assassin's Creed 1, but will include around a third of quests and gameplay.

-Hunting mechanic exists, can skin animals and make money a la Red Dead Redemption

-Flintlock weapons appear

-Connor can dual wield a hatchet and a knife

-Massive battles of 1000+ enemies now possible

-Will contain settlements occupied by Americans, British, Mohawk

-Big “goal” is to allow the player to traverse restricted areas without the entire game mechanic causing enemies to get angry

That all sounds amazing. What on earth is the "turtling" mentioned, though? Just constantly defending?

 

Wonder if the massive battles occur in the background, or if we're amongst it. If it's the latter, that sounds insane. Hope it's more immersive than a Dynasty Wars type experience.

I think turtling is when you just constantly are blocking, and relying on counters to win fights, which is probably the safest way to fight in the previous games.

 

From the sounds of it, I think they're going down more of a batman route, where there is no target lock. You just move the stick in the direction of an enemy, and you attack.

[Blackadder.]

Yeah I think it means juut being able to lock onto an enemy and circle and counter them easily as you please. Since they seem to be focussing more on attacking than pure defending I wouldn't mind if we got something similar to Arkam Asylum/City's freeeflow combat where we can smoothly move between attacking and countering.

 

Also Connor is a bit of a boring sounding name after we've had cool names such as Altair and Ezio.

Something like this was near the ending of the first Assassin's Creed, when you could see a large number of soldiers marching in the background.

I know, that's why I was wondering. Swear people round here think I don't play games or something.

I have a feeling you will be in the middle of the battles this time around, instead of them being in the backdrop. It'll be interesting. A battle within a battle sort of things, with the revolution and then the Templars, all coming together with Washington and whatnot.

That's because sometimes you say these things and, I don't know, maybe it's because you had a batarian father.

[vertical limit]

Haven't seen the hidden blade so far. I wonder if we will witness or have something to do with the signing of declaration of independence.

[gta_fan28]

I really excited on this game since I saw the Box Art and some screenshots and also some info about this game. I really looking forward on this one. It's seems GTAV has many competitors in this 2012. There's a lot of great games coming out this year I still hope GTAV release this year.

I said the same thing a few pages back, you can see in some of the shots something that looks like the blade, but missing in other pics:

To all those thinking Assassin's Creed would be opposing the American because George Washington was apparantly a member of the Freemasons:

 

 

What I think is more reason for the game to take a stance against the American side of the civil war is that the this artwork IMO hints that the protagonist is at least partially Native American. That is because of his style of trousers, as well as his choice of weaponry - an axe and bow-and-arrows - which are both Native American. These are also shown in some of the other released pictures.

The Native Americans were mostly with the British during the American civil war, as they protected what relatively little land they had in their reserves.

 

That is why I am most surprised that the game is going to be on the American side of the Revolution, despite the above. I guess it is simply because they will completely fail to sell all that much in the North American market otherwise. Also it seems the Assassins always have to be on the winning side of history, and therefore the "good side" (history being written by the victors is always the one propagated most).

 

However, it could be that the Assassins are on neither side, and rather follow the formula of the first Assassin's Creed were they were neither with the Templar-controlled Crusaders or the Muslim armies under Salah ad-Din. It is only with the more recent games that the Assassins started taking a more black-and-white approach to enemies and allies in wars and conflicts.

They already stated that the Americans wouldn't be shown as the good guys all the time, and the same with the British.

 

I'm confused as to why Connor is wearing the 'same old' Assassin white clothes (with the blue bits) most of the time yet in the concept art he is standing on the rock in more Native American looking apparel. Is this to show the contrast between his mother and father, or?

The article talked about Conner stabbing a bear with the hidden blade in the wilderness!

It's still early days. I'd say the Assassin's robes are a work in progress.

First off sorry for the double post but it appears I cannot edit my previous post any further so allow me to make this one exception to forum rules.

 

 

 

Really interesting if I do say so myself.

While that's perfectly alright to be helpful, it's a lost cause when you can barely read the print. To anyone who can't bring themselves to click a link themselves can get f*cked.

Well this is gonna be interesting.I did wonder how they gonna do with the fact that Washington,Franklin and other were Masons in real life but i guess they find some middle solution not to go completely against them but not also for them.This Connor with his Mohawk background would be probably against both sides in war and we will see continuation of hidden war between Assassins and Templars just like they were against both Crusaders and Saracens in first game.It would be interesting to see this time period for the first time in videogame,and also after end of Wild West in RDR,now we will se his beginning.

Interesting that today was movie 'Last Mohican ' on TV,it shows how the 'Frontier' would look like.

Well, we know that Washington and Franklin are going to be close allies to the Assassin order, and also apparently Washington has an Apple of Eden throughout the period of the war. I imagine this will play a big part in the game. Maybe it's a cause for fighting against Washington at some point? I get the impression that when they say we will be fighting 'both' sides, they mean American Templars as well as the English Templars. Connor only fights the Templar order throughout the game and doesn't take sides AFAIK. He probably only allies Washington and Franklin because they support the Assassin order and supply information about Templars. There will probably points when we meet English people who support the Assassin's and help Connor. It's like a war within a war.

Yes,that's probably what would be like.Possibly even Assassins would be in both armies as a sleeper agents an in some unexpected moments jump and help you during the game,like open doors to some fort or warn you if strong enemy forces are coming for you etc.

[The N. Bellic Man]

Looks absolutely great! This new direction is definitely what this series needed. I was getting tired of this series even though I really liked II and Brotherhood was good. But Revelations (which I haven't even finished yet) felt a bit forced. So, it's great that the developers have also realised that this series needs a fresh start. I also hope that they refine fighting and riding, because after play games like Red Dead Redemption and Batman: Arkham City riding and fighting just doesn't feel that good anymore (in this series).

It's the same costume. In the concept You don't see it as much but he's wearing a long coat like what the colonial army wore as well as indian deerskin chaps.
