It's a video game, zombies are implied. Oh wait, they aren't zombies, it's a virus and they don't eat brains or some other retarded justification for why my favorite zombie game isn't so derivative it sucks my will to live.
Final edit, methinks: If I'm correct, AC3 has had a separate, partial-overlap team with the other AC2/ACB/ACR triliogy working on this game for over 3 years. So it isn't like they just repainted AC:R and churned out another game in under a year. Hopefully, there will be LOTS of new content. and now that Ubi has seemingly figured out that horrid DRM isn't a good idea and that enticing people with Uplay rewards (honestly, this is what I originally thought XboxLive Gamerpoints were going to be. I can't figure out why others haven't made those "useless" points turn-in for DLC and other fun stuff instead of being well..useless) is good. Also, the DLC they do produce, especially the recent one, shows they're bringing all the previously "special edition only" content to the playerbase, albiet a little bit later than some but overall its a good thing rather than keep exclusives forever (to hell with that, Bioware!)
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed during an earnings call on November 8, 2011, that a new "major" Assassin's Creed game will be released in 2012. Guillemot refused to go into any further detail on the title beyond its confirmation.[13] Speaking to MCV, Guillemot dismissed the notion that annual Assassin's Creed installments are diluting the brands, stating instead that they're necessary to "satisfy the demand". Guillemot also claimed in the same interview that this year's Assassin's Creed will be the series' "biggest to date."[14]
"Assassin's Creed III is the true next generation of both the Assassin's Creed brand and interactive entertainment/storytelling in general. We will push the title a lot because it's a fantastic product that the team has been working on for three years. What we have seen is just fabulous."
—Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO.[6][15]In February 2012, Ubisoft officially confirmed the existence of Assassin's Creed III, and its release date of October 30, 2012.[15] He went on to say the publisher's investing more heavily in the game than in any other title in the series.
Where is your proof of any of this? You cite no sources, offer no links, and you disappointed me. This is nothing but conjecture. I'm mostly interested in who or what your source for the whole "this game has been worked on for 3 years by a separate team" bit.
I do see this as just another annual rehash of the AC franchise. I enjoyed AC2 immensely and it is in fact one of my top 10 games of ALL time ( :eek ), but that said, Brotherhood was disappointing story-wise, and I heard that Revelations wasn't much better, so I didn't pick up Revelations. It's been on sale already though, I will wait till I can get a copy for $20 then I will buy it.
Is Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot a good enough source? He gave the 3 year, separate teams nod that has been bandied about by many game journalism sites. If I recall correctly, it came from an investor conference call, at length or possibly follow-up Q&A regarding the Oct 30 release date. Its already up at the Wikipedia article with a number of sources; I expect even more updates there before long.
Fuck this.
I remember a while back you commenting that I could have researched myself after asking you for a source for a statementThat wasn't my point, my point was you posted all that information without providing a source for it, so I had to go look it up and research it myself. That's all.
Even though it's Ubisoft (a 4 letter word to some people), I still have to give them credit for Assassin's Creed 2 which was excellent. I have to give them the benefit of the doubt here. Untill I see the final product, I'm going to reserve judgement.
Then why the fuck have an Indian. Indians didn't live anywhere near those places.
Fail said:If AC3 is as good or surpasses AC2, then I'd be happy with that.
Information from Gameinformer:
-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.
Fuck this.
Information from Gameinformer:
I agree. They should have resolved and concluded the plot in a more expedient fashion and not dragged it on, and on, and on.
Assassin's Creed in a futuristic society? That'd be interesting.
Ummm no?
Assassin's Creed choosing to use the DNA as a source of entry into the past lives of Desmond's ancestors allows for all kinds of possibilities using that as the starting point for opening up new worlds that we haven't seen before, such as this American Revolution time period done in an open-world type of setting.
Your comment is shortsighted and wrong. You offer no new perspective on this franchise and would squelch it before allowing it to fully mature and branch out into other territory
There's been talk of Assassin's Creed growing into a trilogy...
Well, we have a plan. We know where we're going. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
I play a lot of sports games, and I feel like action/adventure has to go more towards a sports game mentality, of developing, but also of playing. You have a pretty vague objective -- go to Acre, and assassinate a particular person -- and then it's almost the same set of rules in each of the other cities, and it's how you play it. Just like in Madden, I'm there to play a football game; but will I play it on the ground, or will I be passing all the time? Depending on your mood, depending on the AI, you'll have different experiences. Assassin's Creed has that core, but with a really strong narrative on top of it, and that's where the adventure comes from.
Can someone explain how this is suddenly AC3? What were Brotherhood and Revelations? I only beat AC1, so I don't know how the rest all tie in. Are Brotherhood and Revelations expansions for AC2?
I sense some Battlefield numbering going on here...
