[Megathread] Assassins Creed 3

[PACOX]

I cried during the naval battle.

[Wynnyelle]

I really love the whole tree-climbing thing. It looks a lot better than the previous games so far.

[vazar_da_priest]

My takeaway from the trailer was that the American commander was watching the slaying of the British Commander with unease... implying that he also was a Templar.

that was G. Wash so it could be possible, however unlikely, since he is the poster child for freedom and liberty

also it was frowned upon to kill officers during this era. but eventually the Americans decided to kill the British officers to gain a tactical advantage as they moved into guerilla warfare

[Luthlet]

Does anyone have a link for the naval battle? Couldn't see it since it was very late where I live :P

You remind me of this xD

Ye ye very interesting. Are we going to have to live through few more expansions before Assassin's Creed-4 again?

Who cares as long as they are good?

[Migey]

I care. And I don't think i'm the only one. As I said in another thread, the sequels to Asscreed 2 did nothing but stagnate the series and make Ezio, a character I liked, outstay his welcome and become boring. Asscreed 2 was good enough to stand on it's own (although would have been better with a little bit of resolution of... I don't know, Ezio remembering he's an assassin and killing the fat bloke), and hopefully Asscreed 3 will be too.

Ye that's the problem, everything between AC2 and 3 wasn't really good. More of a same old same old, let's add famous building over there and call it a new town.

[Azgraal]

Woah woah hold on a minute. An assassin that finally is able to walk on trees?

"After centuries of evolution, the assassins have evolved to walk on trees... Look at this male specimen, leaning on those branches, getting ready to strike on its prey."

Opinions are universal truths right?

Brotherhood > AC2

Agreed, brotherhood was the best game so far.

From the trailers and information on characters you engage with in this game it really does smack of American bias so far.

I'm hoping for a neutrality to it, and not cheapening the Assassin/Templar war storyline to max out on NA sales.

That actually looks pretty damn cool.

Don't be silly. Early portions of the game. The game isn't just the Revolutionary War, and the Americans will not be portrayed as the good guys. We already know that George Washington acquires and uses an Apple of Eden. People that do that quickly become the enemies of the Assassins. Don't forget Connor is also half British.

It's not being silly, it's an opinion from what I've seen and read so far. I'm not saying "OH MY GOD IT'S ALL PRO AMERICA" I'm saying I hope that's not the case.

Besides what's he going to do, kill Washington? Great job for historical accuracy.

My own theory is he'll take the apple from Washington. Keep in mind though, the Templars control everything, including the history books. So even if he does kill Washington it would still be historically accurate in a sense as in the world of Assassin's Creed his death would just be covered up by the Templars.

I'm sorry to say but you need to read more man. The British didn't really have a strong presence in America after the Revolutionary War, who do you think you're gonna kill when it's over? Also, modern America is ruled by the Templars. In fact, Communism was created by the Assassins in an attempt to defeat Capitalism, which was invented by the Templars. I'd bet the farm that at least one of the founding fathers is a Templar.

I wasn't aware how much of the AC3 story is post Revolutionary War, do you have a link to that timeline for the game?

Sorry but I don't. I read it on the AC wiki somewhere, and that place is like TVtropes, easy to lose yourself in it lol. If you've only played the games you'd be surprised how much extra information is available out there, it's freakin nuts. I read stuff on the wiki for like 6 hours straight and felt like I'd still barely scratched the surface.

[GennGreymane]

I can totally see them doing the French revolution with Connor since he is alive during that time and roughly ezios age in brotherhood or revelations by that time period.

I just really do hope they do not make an assassins creed in feudal japan or china, mostly because i feel it will become to much like a bad martial arts movie. with a lot of familiar plot points. I'm sure they can find a good way to do it though, but i would love some british india or french indo china (vietnam, cambodia, thailand) instead.

the wiki is techically a history book, the main reason why i did not like revelations as much as brotherhood(my fav) was not just because there were much fewer side missions and stuff to do (unlike in brotherhood where u had Leonardo mission, thief/hooker/mercenary missions that gave rewards and fun) but also because shakulu and whats his name were not very prevelent in the game, although reading on who shakulu was in real life on the wiki (varification with a real wiki/other soruces) was a total badass and was represented well ingame to have survived not 1 but 2 assassinations by ezio.

[Valdorian]

This gives a little insight on the George Washington apple: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Third_Apple

and it also tells about a space apple of eden.

[SirRobin]

I expect the part during the revolution will be pretty biased towards the colonist's side. I figured that was a given. If they tried otherwise I expect they would catch all sorts of flak on this side of the pond. Sales impacting flak. However, I can see any of the game that takes part before or after the revolution being much more critical of the "revolutionaries." The character actually says that he is not interested in their revolution during one of the videos. He is just after the templars. Still, he was talking to a colonist at the time and the target was with the British.
