So the game takes place in the US, it is developed by a canadian studio, and the music in this trailer is english, not american. Seems legit x)

Not bad. don’t ruin it with an ingame shot at the end though. Why not just get a live action shot of the assassin?

Either go live, or go in game. Mixing the two looks balls.

Thank goodness Americans (aside from those pesky Loyalists, neutrals, blacks and Amerindians) rose up to attack a tyrannical empire that had brutalised them into being one of the most prosperous states in the world. Why, if they hadn’t rebelled then they could easily have ended up as…Canada!

@3
There were divided loyalties among all who dwelled in the states. Some from every group fought on both sides. The prosperity of the states came from the arrogant fuck ups in Europe and Asia who tried so hard to kill each other, thereby leaving a once weak nation as the only one left functioning in any reasonable manner.

A little bit of bad timing for a spot like this, isn’t it? I mean i can already see republicans say “Fuck yeah, i never voted for Obamacare! Lets rise, fellas!”

@5 The timing is kinda the point. Latch onto all the obsessively patriotic.

@7 It’s been a few hundred years. It’s time they got the fuck over it.

@4 Generally speaking, there seem to have been around the same number of Loyalists as Rebels. But blacks and Amerindians overwhelmingly fought for the British, who promised respectively to free all slaves (and their families) who fought for the King, and to maintain the pre-existing borders with the Indians. I’m gently mocking the absurdly hyperbolic tone of the advert, not the American Revolution – Happy Independence Day!

“When i refuse to learn the history of a country i’ll never see.”

And so the downward spiral of the American educational system began.
