Official Assassin's Creed III thread

A new screenshot as well, from a cinematic, showing a younger Connor.



I'll add the new stuff to the OP. I like how they're trying to keep things authentic though. In my opinion, that's very important for an Assassin's Creed title.

[Blacksite]

Oh, wow.

[itachi73378]

The kinect thing is most probably april fools

[Abdou23]

Oh, wow.

Looks very unrealistic.

The kinect thing is most probably april fools

Most probably true.

[Blacksite]

They mention it not being real at the end of the video. Come on, guys...

[Abdou23]

Actually even if this game supports Kinect i'll never consider playing like this,too much gestures and i'll be tired after 20 minutes.

[Morganator]

Oh, wow.

LMAO. That was freaking awesome. I'd rep you but I have to spread the rep std first. (May report post for awesomeness instead.) :P

I loved how you actually had to do the acrobatic counter kills

Just think of how much of a badass you would be if you played it a lot, practiced and actually got good at it. Too bad it's fake, it could train you! Or hurt you really bad. Yeah. THAT is probably what would REALLY happen if I played something that required that much involvement...I would end up in the hospital!

It looks VERY different from Revelations from everything I've seen so far.

I am just glad that it's a different character.....and not Ezio...

The creative director for Assassin's Creed 3 thinks your ideas are stupid and you should just shut up already. Really, that's not even very paraphrased.

"People on the internet suggest the most boring settings," Alex Hutchinson told OXM. "The three most wanted are WWII, feudal Japan and Egypt. They're kind of the three worst settings for an AC game."

Assassin's Creed 3 writer Corey May really wants to do India, and Hutchinson agrees, saying "I would too. I'd really love to do the Raj."

The moral of the story is: Don't expect an Assassin's Creed title in WWII, feudal Japan or Egypt settings, ever. Also, shut up.

Well, I do agree with him on World War II being boring. Not so much on the other suggestions.

I'm not sure I'll be buying assassins creed 3 right out the gate. I want to be a total badass like Ezio. I don't want to feel like a rookie all over again.

WW2 is over used in FPS games, so that would of sucked. Japan doesnt excite me, but Egypt would of been pretty neat. But for the most part AC3s setting makes the most sense for where the story currently is.

I'm the complete opposite. AC 2 was the best cause I got to see Ezio go from nothing - assassin, the other two ACs got pretty boring for me fast. I'm not sure I'd of preordered if AC3 didnt take the same approach.

Despite Assassin's Creed 3 creative lead Alex Hutchinson's recent fighting words with the internet over its "boring" ideas for potential AC settings, he told us this morning that he still loves you. Or something like that. "It's part of a bigger discussion. Obviously any setting is potentially awesome," he said in a brief PAX East show floor followup. "The point we were making was that some settings are more familiar in video games than other settings. And the two particular ones that were mentioned are very familiar video game settings."

Hutchinson is referring to both the World War II and Feudal Japan ideas brought up during an interview with OXM recently. "The exciting thing is that the game can go anywhere," Hutchinson said. "We've had versions of the assassin ... people have thrown ideas around for probably literally any setting that people would think of. But when you get right down to it – when we're doing the actual nitty gritty of spending the time on it, spending a couple years making something – we wanna go to a setting that other games haven't gone to." As for the aforementioned pair of settings? "We're trying to find places that will surprise people."

And Hutchinson doesn't want you to hate him, internet. He also spoke to his statements regarding net denizens coming up with "the most boring settings" for future AC games. "If people think they have the worst ideas, I apologize for that," he told us. "But really, they're very predictable. The internet is not the place for insight, unfortunately," Hutchinson added with a laugh.

As for recent news that AC3 will be Desmond's biggest outing yet, Hutchinson said, "There's a big opportunity when the real timeline crosses the fictional timeline. Like, this is a fun idea. So there's stuff that we have to deal with. We feel like it's about time to pay off the people who've been sticking with the franchise for a long time." When asked if this would be Desmond's last appearance in the series, Ubisoft PR assassins jumped in and said, "I think people are gonna be entertained by it." We're not sure what that means either, but we'll be sure to keep asking.

[Blacksite]

Awesome. Thanks, Nuvian. Added them all to the OP.

[GalapagosaraY]

really looking forward to it although ive slightly lost interest shortly after i got revelations, made it to the city but ye then Skyrim came lol, stil lcant decide if they should have made this for a next gen or something im quite full on this franchise at the moment but thats prob because Brotherhood felt like a time trial edition of 2. All thats been shown about this game have been amazing though

[SchaffinOSX]

Ern... Still need to play and beat Revelations.

[The Black Wolf]

I'm getting goosebumps looking at those screenshots.
