Assassin’s Creed III – first shots, art, and details leak

Looks pretty awesome to me…

Interdasting….

oooooo

God the costume looks so stupid.

Yup, ive changed my mind. This is going to be awesome.

@4 your face stupid BITCH booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm sit down

I think my problem at first was that i didn’t want the series to change that much… but this is true progression… this is how you keep things fresh. I really did have my heart set on the french revolution though, but then that would have turned out to be just like 1, 2 & the spinoffs exept in a different setting. Im sure though that with 3 years of dev time they’ve came up with something pretty special.

edit: is this a scoop btw?? i don’t see any other site covering it. YAY for VG247

fuck me that looks amazing. im struggling to get thrue revelations right now, had lost all hope in this franchise.

Looks like it’s from new leaked scans from GI

@8 same here.
Look far better then expected.I hope CGI trailer blow us away

Hm, that actually looks pretty cool.

@4

Yeah… Many, many years later, another continent, same clothes.

Oh damn, that looks pretty amazing. It wouldn’t make sense to make him native American though, likely it just extends to the costumes and weapons. Some of the other shots show him wearing something similar to the minutemen.

I really hope they leave the whole “20% actual content and 80% repitition” behind for this one. At least 10 hours of AC2 was just filler.

I’m going to end up reinstalling Empire: Total War looking at that though

AS much as I did want Victorian England, I do understand why thy thought this would be more interesting on the whole as it’s a chance to do an environment not yet attempted in AC.

Last one with tree really look promising.

@13 Sure it would! The NA’s fought the British as much as they did the colonials – and rightly so. /steps off soapbox

@16 Maybe before the actual revolution (the French had a less racist approach to the native Americans, and so managed to recruit a lot more) but the colonials were a far bigger threat than the British, and the native Americans were smart enough to know that.

There were obviously contingents of native Americans who decided to fight against the British, but the overwhelming majority fought against the colonials, which helped to shape a large part of the argument for the ensueing persecution and marginalization of the native American population.

The argument was that because the native Americans chose to attack when the colonials were already suffering invasion, they had lost all legitimacy to bargain with the new American nation. Which was really just a continuation of the disputes they had with eachother before the revolution.

Although part of the British succes in recruiting indian tribes for the war was down to basically paying them off. Which they planned on doing even after admitting defeat, hoping to back a sovereign indian nation to oppose the colonials.

That doesn’t change reality though. Making the claim that the majority of native Americans sided with (soon to be) “America” would be down to misplaced political correctness.

All the scans can be found here now

Got to admit, despite initial misgivings, it does look decent. This might be a much needed change of pace.

I will miss leaping from rooftop to rooftop, but hopefully there will be a suitable wilderness-based equivalent to hand. I didn’t have much fun with horses in AC:Brotherhood, though, and I suspect they’ll be back given the setting… hopefully they’ll be less of a headache this time around.

Looks to be more open world and that first picture kind of tells us that we ‘ll have something to climb after all.

MY FAITH HAS BEEN RESTORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day one buy, enough said.

I’ll give the game a chance, I love games that take place during that time period, and very few do.

Looks amazing and, most of all, unexpected. I think it will be a nice change of pace. Open-world Assassin’s Creed… You gave me faith, Ubi! Don’t screw up!

New info about the game(some minor SPOILERS ahead):
- The new Assassin is the son of a Native American woman and a British soldier. His calls himself Connor, but his birth name is Ratohnhaké:ton. Born into the Mohawk, he eventually crosses paths with the Assassins in his search for righteousness.
- Connor is quiet and stoic, letting actions speak for words rather than conversing with others. In contrast to Ezio, Connor is a freedom fighter who acts in the name of justice rather than on personal revenge.
- Settings will include Boston, New York and a large countryside. The countryside will be the setting of about 1/3 of the game, and will be the location of many events during the game. The countryside will be about 1.5 times as big as Rome in Brotherhood.
- The protagonist will fight on the American side, with primary allies George Washington, Benjamin Franklin(called it )and Charles Lee. However, this does not mean that the Americans are the good guys and the British are the bad guys. Templars are everywhere…
- There will be seasons in the game, meaning that the sun will shine during summer and the landscape will be covered in snow during winter.
- Fighting and stealth will be completely re-innovated, with Connor being compared to a “predator”. The player will be able to climb trees and other natural elements, and dual-wielding weapons such as a dagger and a mohawk is now also an option.
- Animals will be present in the woods, like deer and bears. The player will be able to kill them and pelt their skins, to sell them later with the reformed economic system of the game.
- There will be puzzles similar to The Truth, only they will not be given by Subject 16.
- Desmond will go into the new Animus 3.0 and will find himself going into “significant events”.
- 100% sync in memories returns, though this time you will be rewarded when you complete memories to 100%. Checkpoints will also be introduced to mission replay, meaning you don’t have to replay an entire mission to get that 100% sync.
- The Brotherhood, or Assassins Guild, will return in some form, albeit differently than we have seen before.
There will be no more Mercenaries, Thieves, Courtesans, Romani or other factions, but there will be a replacement for them.
- Den Defense will not return(YAY ).

That does make it historically accurate then. A few of the indians who did fight on the American side were Mohawks

Night elf mohawks, in fact.

That sounds really great though, nice one Edo!

I read all the scans, and thus all those details and this sounds exactly like what AC needed. ACII was amazing but in Brotherhood things started to drag and get boring, not to mention Revelations.

This shows what a four year development time can do for your game. I really can’t wait to see this one in motion.

can anyone organize the scans or link a site that did

Cannot wait, everything I’ve seen and read just sounds epic!

Hmm… Red Dead Revolution? Not that that’s a bad thing

Of course I’d rather be playing as some sadistic British colonel, burning down farmsteads whilst whistling rule Britannia MWAHAHAHA!! *twirls imaginary moustache*

@DSB, Night Elf Mohawks? They were big into WoW then?

@30 Mel Gibson might think you’re serious so watch out bro .

@31 WoW did have the biggest marketshare around the time of the American revolution, that’s correct.

If it would be the THIRD GAME, I would get it. And if it was going to be a complete game and not have part of it like DLCs.

Victorian England would’ve been awesome but this …. this looks AMAZING!

The official website has started the countdown to Monday, BTW. Added to post.

@36: Nice

I really like the idea of hiding in trees.

I dispise the fact hes another Half-Native main character like almost every other game set in or around the sametime period. Its a lazy way of avoiding being called racist when you have to kill kemosabees.

That and Red, White and Blue on the costume. OH FUCK YEAH ITS TIME. AMERICA.

Still need get through Revelations, found the start quite boring.
