So we still won't have an Assassin's Creed focused on the present, with Desmond as main character. I hope the game is really good and not just an attempt to prolong/milk the series. I sure hope so.

It was supposed to be a trilogy from the beginning (not counting the ACII-specific sequels and the minor games on handhelds), so this should be the apotheosis of the main story. Not that there definitely won't be more like for ACII, if the hero and the setting work, sure, you bet there will be... Although I personally doubt the setting will work. Boring. They'll probably make the hero fun enough to use (I mean, running around with a tomahawk to smash faces with ?) but the character himself might not be very attractive. Altair was kind of just a middle man, while Ezio had his personal comments about everything, his personality made him popular, so they'd have to make that one similar.

Yeah, I personally don't find them boring (either of them), but I'm kinda fan of this kind of stuff. Still, they're definitely not part of my favourite time lines either, so i can understand how many people don't like this period very much. Whatever.

What they most likely and should do is part of it in the past and the other half during the present, of which will be Desmond and the others picking up the various Apples, much like you would get things from hidden tombs.

Look at the previous games and how the sides were picked. I would like it if they had your enemies be people from either side regardless of who's wearing a red coat or not, but given past inclinations (there are the bad guys on one side, and the good guys on the other), I'm not setting my hopes too high. Hell, the whole setup with "templars = bad, assassins = good" is plenty self-descriptive of the entire series already.

Well that logo has been decrypted since the very first, so that's been expected ever since.

Game Informer Details (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35655452&postcount=1):
Quote
Assassin's Creed 3 Game Informer Details #1 There's actually still quite a bit more in the article, so I highly encourage you to read that if you get the magazine.
The screenshots are scans from the digital version. Do not post them.
-Want it to be a jumping on point for new players without losing touch with what longtime fans cherish most. -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. -The Frontier also includes colonial settlements like Lexington and Concord and Connor's Mohawk village. -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 GUI known as Animus 3.0. -There's a new Animus database written by Shaun Hastings, who makes snarky comments about the British perspective of the war. -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.

Hate some BS Ubisoft often pulls with their games like that DRM crap.
Bought AC:R for 18 bucks a day or two ago. Still didn't redeem it, may trade it for 2 games or wait until SFXTK gets released.
...After reading all that text I actually wanna play AC3 now, although I do hope I can understand the storyline without having to play the other games (In fact I'm not sure anymore if I should trade my AC:R or not, need your opinion guys, solid game, yes or no?).

Title: Re: Assassin's creed III
Post by: Jmorphman on March 03, 2012, 04:01:24 am
Well, I'd say that if you had to skip one of the main AC games, Revelations is the one you should skip. I know a lot of people aren't fond of the first game, but I think it's good and storyline-wise, nothing really important happens in Revelations anyway.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
basically all that you really take away is that Desmond is in a coma after killing Lucy (who is confirmed to be dead), and then he wakes up with a location that everybody needs to go to to save the world. Also you find out William is Desmond's dad (or at least that's just made explicit). And Ezio ends up with a chick half his age. Oh and Subject 16 dies (again).
So that doesn't really answer your question I guess? But basically Revelations might not be worth it???
Title: Re: Assassin's creed III
Post by: Person Man on March 03, 2012, 04:04:35 am
It does do a really nice job of wrapping up the stories of Ezio and Altair, so if you've played the whole series up to that point you may as well play Revelations just for completion's sake.

Revelations has the best gameplay of them all but story-wise I don't like it as much. The multiplayer is great but since 3 will probably have MP it's kind of hard to get you to play it just for that

It was just... so booooooooooring for some lame reason :P . Can't really explain it without playing it again, just felt like I didn't have enough incentive to play it, felt slow for me, the AI was so dumb, etc :P.
If the series evolved as many other usually does (Like, comparing MGS1 to MGS3) then I guess the currently last game will be fine.
Revelations has the best gameplay of them all but story-wise I don't like it as much. The multiplayer is great but since 3 will probably have MP it's kind of hard to get you to play it just for that
Yep, had that impression, it does look like the one with the best gameplay. Still not playing to buy them all so I guess I'll just save the thing and trade it later for something near 40 bucks if not more XD
I'm probably still going to buy AC3 though, it really looks like it's going to be a good game.

I actually thought that having him search for Altair's legacy made for a pretty decent story, it just got muddled and lost in the middle of the whole Suleiman/sultan/heir-to-the-throne nonsense that Ezio never actually got involved in.

The Steel casing from the pre-order, oh look, they got the colors wrong, they have it red instead of blue.

Conner is not related to Ezio. Remember, it's all about Desmond... so whether Ezio's kids became assassin's matters not... as long as his bloodline was carried on. Like in AC2 or was is ACB, I forget, when Desmond relives an Altai'ir memory, the Altai'ir memory ends as soon as Altai'ir and Maria finish there love making, since his bloodline is passed on to his son.
Title: Re: Assassin's creed III
Post by: DMK on March 12, 2012, 11:37:38 am
Just Saiyan that might be due to changing costumes or even changing colors later on in the game. Personally I only did it once or twice in every game and once in AC:R to get the full white assassin look for Ezio.

There not related by blood but by far distanced ancestory like how Altair and Ezio look similar to eachother but there not related by blood in other words two different blood lines split from one another which is why subject 16 could access the same memorys of Ezio like how Desmond can
Title: Re: Assassin's creed III
Post by: DatKofGuy on March 12, 2012, 06:47:03 pm
yeah... no. you're contradicting yourself. either way its coz of the bloodline that they can access the memories... you know dna and all that. it just means that desmond is a convergence of many bloodlines, hence him able to access different memories. also, ezio and altai'ir looking, similar has nothing to do with it, that was just a coincidence. and that was only seen in AC2, in ACR they look nothing alike except for the lip scar, hell they dont even resemble desmond, since desmond looked like a damn gorilla.

Post by: Jmorphman on March 12, 2012, 07:16:11 pm
Connor doesn't HAVE to be related to Ezio or Altair (unless there was a whole lot of incest in Desmond's family tree). But he probably will be because why not.
Also, just because Ezio retired from being an assassin doesn't mean his kids couldn't be assassins. Ezio just got too old to parkour around stabbing dudes in the neck, but that doesn't mean he didn't support the cause anymore.

Also, just because Ezio retired from being an assassin doesn't mean his kids couldn't be assassins. Ezio just got too old to parkour around stabbing dudes in the neck, but that doesn't mean he didn't support the cause anymore.
I thought that what Ambers was about, showing his reluctance to even be around other Assassin's. Was planning to rewatch it soon anyways, you only help in my burning passion. :twisted:

IIRC he just doesn't want to be involved because he thinks he's had a lifetime of it already, and he rather have his family live in peace, it's not like he's suddenly against them.

Post by: Person Man on March 12, 2012, 11:33:02 pm
More to point, whatever Ezio and his descendants did after he left the order is pretty much moot. The only points that really matter to AC3, as far as we know right now, is that Connor is an ancestor of Desmond's, and that he ends up with the assassins somehow; by birthright, choice, or chance. We don't really need 300-something years of family lineage for that to make sense.

The scar that appeared on Altair and Ezio's lips happened differently. It wasn't explained for Altair but Ezio's scar happened early on in ACII and never disappeared. Skin tone and height are just basic common traits of families (Clearly no one in their families impregnated a short woman.), and they pretty much are related regardless. Though the way genes work there HAS to be some incest involved, but not in the way people think. There could be some long lost cousins or removed aunties/uncles that could've been involved. I don't know why everyone says they aren't "related" when really they are, though I guess their trying to say that Ezio isn't a DIRECT descendant of Altair.

The same way that you are genetically related to both of your grandfathers, even though the two of them aren't blood relatives with each other. It's not uncommon at all for people who have no relation each other to have a common descendant.

Connor's about to fuck up that deer something fierce.
I hope this hunting thing isn't too crucial to the overall game, though. It's cool, but I can see getting really tiresome if you're forced to break the flow of the game to stop and chase a bunch of animals around over and over again.

It's probably as crucial as RDR's hunting. Might be involved in a few sidequests but that'll probably do it. This isn't 2003, developers should know basic mission design by now.

Following a pattern established by previous Assassin's Creed launches, the PC version of Assassin's Creed 3 has been delayed.
The PC version had been due out alongside the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions on 31st October. It will now launch on 23rd November 2012.
Eurogamer was tipped off about the delay by a publishing source who supplied the above promotional image to our Czech Republic cousins at Eurogamer.cz.
Ubisoft has a habit of delaying the launch of PC versions of its multiplatform games. The PC version of Assassin's Creed: Revelations was delayed by half a month, and the PC version of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood launched in March 2011 after a November 2010 console release.
Most gamers believe these PC specific delays are the result of concern at Ubisoft over piracy, although the French publisher is yet to admit this.
Ubisoft told Eurogamer: "The Windows PC release date is still to be announced."

Assassins Creed III 2-4 player coop mode announced: Wolf Pack http://comic-con.gamespot.com/story/6386853/how-assassins-creed-iiis-new-co-op-mode-cranks-up-the-pace
Quote
Here at Comic-Con 2012, Ubisoft just unveiled a new co-op mode for Assassin's Creed III called Wolfpack. True to its name, Wolfpack sets a team of players wild on a map full of NPC's, taking out a series of targets in a race against the clock. In fact, it's that race that makes this new mode feel like an altogether unique chapter in the world of Assassin's Creed
Wolfpack is, in a word, fast. You begin a round with a fixed amount of time, and once your team takes out its first target (or group of targets, in most cases) you get more time added to the clock. So right off the bat, there's a strong incentive to keep things moving and string your kills together as quickly as possible.

Season Pass for Ass (http://kotaku.com/5928119/sounds-like-assassins-creed-iii-is-getting-a-ton-of-dlc)assin's Creed 3
Quote
We were sent this image (below) over the weekend, reportedly a little note sent out by Ubisoft to GameStop stores patting them all on the back for their stellar efforts in bugging enough of you into preordering a game that they hit a quota.
After that's done, though, we're told that Ubisoft has formed a team specifically to create post-release DLC for Assassin's Creed III, and that there'll be enough of it to warrant some kind of "season pass" being sold for the game which would presumably entitle purchasers to a discount rate for buying all of it at once.
No mention of whether it's singleplayer, multiplayer or both, but seeing as the series has had some success releasing decent singleplayer DLC with Assassin's Creed II, hopefully it's something more substantial than just maps and skins for multiplayer.

Then again, Brotherhood also had exclusive missions.
This is why I think Altair/Ezio/Conner may be in All-Star Battle. But an hour of gameplay (depending on how long the game is) is a bit much, even Brotherhood's was maybe 15 minutes at most if you sucked at them.

I find AC3 to be much closer to the first AC than the Italian series, the characters are less interesting and it tries too hard to sell us that the villains were trying to be good - I have nothing against that but it handwaves the obvious (shooting at the crowd, shooting Indians when they don't want to sell their lands = no, sorry, you're not here to bring peace, why do you even try to convince me) It's also filled with small glitches, both visual and in the gameplay. Connor's model disappeared once in a cutscene, enemies started walking on air while fighting on an oblique ground, I got unable to climb or walk on something I should have been able to on several occasions, some climbing action requires you to have that one perfect angle of approach and you slip and fall if you're off by half a step, a cutscene event that should have let me continue with the story never happened despite reaching the point I was supposed to go to (no other condition beside being there) even after going back and forth around it, actions resetting out of the blue (a character that was doing something to let me go on with the story zipped back to the beginning of his movement)... The side mechanics like hunting, poaching, developing your HQ and your boat are better than I expected, but there's no incentive to do it, you're not pushed into it. You can just walk through the main story without doing any of it - I haven't done any selling or buying at all, I'm not interacting with the guys in my HQ once I have them join, I'm not developing my Assassin recruits, and I'm doing nearly no side mission.
The story really feels like they picked the American revolution and then said "let's put an Assassin in this". It's nice that they really wanted to take him out of the Americans vs British politics by making him an Indian who simply wants to protect his people, and he makes friends only because it serves him and they just happen to be George Washington, but it looks much too forced. So far the only thing I get out of it is the great plot twist at the end of the first part (you start the game with a different character)

I had a feelin' it might end up cliffhangery, but I'll leave that judgement for when I finish it. The game itself is pretty good, but I have to question them on their new aiming system for guns. It used to be so good.
Yeah... so I finished it. It's ME3 all over again...

I'm not sure how I feel, I mean, how do you follow up a sequel now? The game was very meh though and not the same leap AC1 to AC2 was, nor did they keep alot of stuff added in Brotherhood and Revelations.

Whats the point of the whole node hacking thing after the epilogue and main story? Is it just to unlock cheats?

@Riccochet - at least in ME3 you can CHOOSE your crappy ending.

Apparently yes, when you're finished, Shaun just says "we've done it, great !" and then nothing. Dunno why it synchronizes online for, though. Or why it needed to get online at the beginning to boot with.
The answer lies in the ending of AC:3 Liberation on the PS Vita.
Oh, I dunno about that, none of the portable games have had any relevant impact on the overall story. I wouldn't bet on it being any more than fanservice (even if it's nice to finally have a woman, and even to have it be parallel to AC3 itself).
I'm pretty disappointed with the overall story (this game and also the way it fits with the others), it's a little above AC1 but below AC2 for me, but I did like the whole Homestead developing part. Certain aspects of this game I thought I wouldn't like turned out to be the better parts of it. I also wanted to say, there are a lot of sidequests that get dumped on me and the game just assumed I'd know what to do and where to go, but it's lost in the menus and I have infos that pop out on the screen and I have no idea what they're for. Sometimes I don't even see the optional objectives and when I make a mistake the game tells me I failed that bonus and whatnot and I'm all what the fuck. The increasing amount of retarded glitches don't make it any easier, either.

The first spinoff for PSP wasn't even canon AFAIK, it was kind of an Abstergo simulation or something of the sorts. And I don't know what's going on with any spin-offs of the Ezio saga ... but Liberation is indeed a numbered game, which releases relevant info in the ending.
Just youtube both if you've already finished all AC3, so it doesn't spoil anything for you. It's just an assumption, but a fairly strong based one, given the words used, and an idea that is reinforced all through out the game with biblical references.

So Liberation, is it any good ? Story-wise, gameplay-wise ? I took a look at the ending on Youtube and it's boring. There's a vague idea of something that could potentially be done, but not much indication that they'll actually use it (and it doesn't even mean much, just that they could do something more).

So in the end, what do you think, guys? Is it worth buying it right now, or should I wait a little so the price lowers?

If you really enjoy the story and don't want to be spoiled pick it up quickly. They also have another update coming in before the PC edition that will fix more problems, like the finicky climbing.

Yeah that's my main complaint right now. The climbing/free-running is NOWHERE near as tight as Brotherhood, and wtf is up with some of it? I didn't know they could levitate 20 feet through the air sideways to grab a ledge. Assassins are so Jedi right now.

There's one thing that surprises me while watching some videos about this game. There's no footprints when you walk on the snow. Is it really hard to create such effect?
Title: Re: Assassin's creed III
Post by: DMK on November 14, 2012, 02:21:58 pm
Something like taking damage while swimming through icey waters got cut, so I imagine proper snow physics one way or another would of been it given more time. The way snow works though it does leave trail like hes sloshing through it and dragging his legs across it rather then taking actual steps.

They probably didn't bother separating the case where he's waist deep in snow from the case where he's just stepping on it. Though there are missions where you follow footsteps in the snow, so they did prepare something for it. They just decided to forget about it.

Yeah I've done something similar as well. You would figure that if the AC2 team has been making this since they released AC2 and let a different team do all the others.....well....you'd figure this game to be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better polished and contain more content.

^ Video's down
Also, does anyone know how much buying the individual episodes will be? People keep referencing the Season Pass, and I'm hoping it's not just for that
