Sorry about the crappy footage, Ubi always compresses their videos really, really badly.

Fighting with a bear could be tricky though...

Pshaw. He's an Assassin.

:lol:

But seriously, look at the fluidity of the fighting and freerunning towards the end of the clip. Reminds me of Uncharted.

The Devs have learnt a lesson from NaughtyDog's PS3 exclusive franchise, which is Uncharted of course!! One of my favourite games for the PS3!

Yep, it's clear that Ubi took some hints from other game devs with the fluidity. All the other AC games up until this one looked very...linear. All the animations didn't blend together like these seem to in the trailer for ACIII.
 
This will definitely be my very first Assassin's creed game, a game for me that I haven't actually tried to play because I just love NaughtyDog's Uncharted franchise, which is excellent in delivering cinematic and gameplay of course! :)
 
OK, can we stop with this "patriotic" stuff, please? You're going to be killing both Colonists and Redcoats in the game. In the first gameplay trailer that I posted a while back, Connor says, "On this land, I am torn. Part of me wants to fight and repel all outsiders. The other part of me, is the outsider." This is referring to the fact that he is half Mohawk, half British, so he doesn't know who to fight. He also said, "In the name of Liberty, I will fight the enemy, regardless of their allegiance." He's saying that he fights Templars, and only Templars. He is unbiased when it comes to Britain vs. America.

Anyway, there's 2 more gameplay trailers to come over the course of E3, Alex Hutchinson said it himself.

Looks great so far, but is it coming out October 30th or October 31st? I've seen both on the trailers and it's confusing me.

True, but there does seem to still be a dose of patriotic chestbeating in the game. I was half expecting a July 4th rush release date :)

And sure, it's Templars (though I don't think *all* redcoats were derived from a centuries old society of knights, do you?) but as the majority of the Templars were actually from France, it still seems a bit skewed somehow. Oh well...I guess German and Japanese players have to deal with being "the enemy" in games all the time, would just be interesting if the enemy were the Americans for once ;)

From what I've gathered it's coming out on the 30th.

To me the "British mindset" or whatever back then seems more Templar-like than "A country by the people, for the people," which sounds much more Assassin-like to me. But maybe George was actually a Templar and wanted to start a "New World" or something by helping form a new country. I'm sure Famine would have something to say about this...

I won't have a problem with killing Colonists or Redcoats in the game, as I know that I'm in it for the Templars.

Also, does anybody know about any special editions for America? I want the Freedom edition ****ing badly, but it's only for Europe.
 
8 impressive screenshots: :drool: 👍

AC3 is looking amazing so far. Definite day one purchase for me. Surprised that there isn't more hype surrounding this one.

There should be more hype, yes, but it doesn't really surprise me, it is an AC game, so naturally people are a bit reluctant. It's just a very unique series, and I believe that is part of the problem. People don't usually like to venture for from the norm/try new things. I bought Brotherhood totally on a whim, not knowing what it was about at all, and I was reluctant about it the whole time. But, I eventually fell in love with it, and bought the rest of the series.

North American CE Confirmed. *Pheew*

Maybe the series is becoming too repetitive in terms of gameplay and story?

It was hyped a couple of months ago, but it ended at E3.

Anyway, this game will definitely be my very first Assassin's Creed game. 👍
 
Game looks great 👍

IMHO, every installment has been better then the last, and looking back, I now would find ACI to be really boring. None of the games have ever gotten too much hype though, and although everyone I know who's seen this game wants to buy it, with the lack of hype they'll probably forget about it and end up not getting it.
 
Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed 3 is a Relatively Mass-Market Game, So Combat Can't be Ridiculously Hard

http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/...ket-game-so-combat-can-t-be-ridiculously-hard

From Alex Hutchinson:

We're trying to keep it as fluid and dynamic as possible. So the way we described it early on was that we're a relatively mass-market game so we can't make ridiculously hard combat, but we can make it hard to be amazing at it.

So you can stumble your way through 90% of fights as a casual player, but if you want to run into a fight, assassinate a guy on the move, immediately begin a kills chain, pick everybody off, switch between pistols and close combat moves and basically wipe everybody out without ever being touched, this should be quite tricky.

So we worked a lot on the archetypes, we worked a lot on base combat strategy of when you should use which move. We took out the need to lock onto anybody with the left trigger to keep it really, really fluid and we added running assassinations so you can charge enemies with any weapon.

We have multiple enemies attacking simultaneously now, so there's lots of little things that we put in. You can kick people off buildings - there's a new one for you.

Good Lord, $120?!? *flips table* That's double the price of the game. Granted, the statue and flag are cool, but there's no way I'm paying an extra $60 for those things. They could've at least thrown in all of the preorder bonuses. Still wouldn't justify the price, though.

Looks like I'll be getting the vanilla edition. Besides, all of the preorder bonuses will be DLC.
 
Is anyone worried as I am about the lack of stealth in the game? I mean that the game is rumored to span two wars in American history, and warfare, especially in that time frame, was transitioning from the open field tactics that the British used for hundreds of years prior to the French and Indian war to hit and run tactics that the Americans used during the latter half of Revolutionary war.

Sure there is the hunting and things like that in the game already, but based on currently available information, are you at least a wee bit worried about the stealth element?
