Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

Anyone played through the Revelations Single Player DLC that was released 3 days ago?I just did and recommend AC fans to do the same,i won't spoil anything but you get some nice information about a few characters.Information i think was necessary.

Not yet, but I'm still barely 25% into the game itself. Is it anything that will spoil the main plot??
 
Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

Do I need to play Brotherhood and Revelations to catch up on stuff? I haven't played them.

If you wanna know,i can tell you which character it is.It's someone you've guaranteed met if you're 25% into the game.

Yeah you do because of the present day story with Desmond.
 
Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

I'll remain spoiler free, and just wait until I"m complete before getting the DLC. I'm spending more time free-roaming than doing the campaign so I don't want to risk it.
 
Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

Damn... okay. LOL They shouldn't be that expensive.
 
Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

I'm going out on a limb and saying Ubisoft has just hit another home run. Completely refreshing the series with a new hero, new scenery, new game play dynamics, WOW!

Credit to Ubisoft too for taking all these epic "time periods" that often aren't used in video games and making them extremely cool and putting a focus on them. I know people dream of ancient Egypt and Greece and such, but this is really a unique time period. It also will help bridge the gap about how the Templars started getting over to the Americas.

Notice the "Templar" cross in the Union Jack? Big clue there!

I'm guessing with the main character being Native American, a lot of assassin theology will be tied to their animal and spiritual worship. It's quite possible that he will start as a "rogue" individual or group but then gradually side with the Revolutionists like George Washington.

I'm also guessing that possible "expansion games" (a la Brotherhood and Revelations) will feature other prominent post-Revolution events: Including the War of 1812, the spread of America's borders into Indian territory, the Mexican-American War and finally the Civil War. Though by the time of the Civil War the main character will be pushing 100 and I don't think that's going to happen...unless some First Civilization technology lengthens his mortality or it cruises to introduce another possible Desmond ancestor around the same time-period (maybe the main character's son?).


Was this info posted?

- Game has been in development for three years. Possibly after the completion of Assassin's Creed II.
- A completely new ancestor of Desmond Miles.
- The name of the game’s new protagonist will be Connor (as he calls himself), although his birth name is Ratohnhake:ton. He is half English, half Native American, and is described as more of a hunter/ predatory Assassin than the likes of Ezio or Altair. He is described as a freedom fighter who acts in the name of justice rather than acting based on personal revenge. The American Revolution setting means that the supporting cast includes the likes of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Charles Lee. Connor’s interaction with Washington is one of the core relationships in the game.
-Assassin’s Creed III will be set between 1753 and 1783, in and around the cities of Boston and New York. Locations like Bunker Hill, Valley Forge and Saratoga are mentioned. New York especially ties in with Desmond’s location at the conclusion of Revelations. There will be puzzles similar to The Truth, only they will not be given by Subject 16 this time around. In addition, the economic system of the game has been reformed.
- The protagonist will fight on the American side, with primary allies George Washington, Benjamin Franklin 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.
- Release date slated for October 30th, 2012
- Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Revelations are considered spin off games, BUT is canon for the universe. Ubisoft only numbers an Assassin's Creed game when there is a new ancestor AND time period.
-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 chilhood 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.

Very Excited for this game! I love the time period that was chosen. Though I need to get caught up on the story because I still haven't played Revelations.

I was thinking about getting it. Is it one of those puzzle levels? You know, the levels where you make those shapes to stand on.
 
Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

Officially just went from annoyed at the American setting to being pumped for this game :clap

Im gonna use a spoiler tag,so those who don't want the dlc spoiled don't read this:
Yeah same as Desmond's journey,unlocking memories within the animus so i think you know which character you play as this time.
 
Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

I've never played this series before... but the setting and the fact that theirs Native American elements has me interested.
 
Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

Reading description makes it sounds like one more Ezio mission and 2 more of the puzzle deals for Desmond.

Is that right?
 
Re: Assassin's Creed 3 announced

Yeah I think that sounds right. But I don't know :lol

That vampire (forgot the official name) mission & a couple more puzzle missions I think :dunno

Edit: I don't know where I got vampire mission from :lol The mission is called 'Vlad The Impaler’s Prison' :D

Im gonna use a spoiler tag,so those who don't want the dlc spoiled don't read this:

Thanks :hi5:
