God I hope not. non-bloat OPs, please!
OTs have had a bad habit lately of looking like PR-pieces straight from the publisher. The 'less is more' approach seems to be all but lost.

Unfortunately that "focus" was not intentional at all. The team had spent almost the entire dev cycle coming up with the engine and animation system, building the world, and simply didn't have time to make an actual game.
I love the franchise, but AC1 is simply the most polished Alpha build of all time.
ACII is the finished product.
My favorite part of AC1 was the fact there was nothing to do, the main character was unlikeable in every way, and it had one of the worst boss fights/endings of all time.
Fantastic game.
I see you have no experience with the Ubisoft DRM software. You need a constant internet connection and it doesn't work properly plus it slows my PC down.
Google Ubisofts Game Launcher.
That's exactly what I need from this series. An open countryside palette cleanser followed by a return to the more traditional setting. The consistency of the previous four titles is part of what burned me out.the only problem with semi-sequel = french revolution idea is that if they're trying to take the series into more open-world areas then it would be hard to reconcile that with...paris
I played all 4 games on PC. Never had a problem.

Looks really good.
-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.
So those were actual screens and not scans after all? Looks the same to me.
Shades of gray... both sides do evil...
but he's killing a redcoat on the boxart!
And if the Templars believe they are saving the world... why not... you know... show them doing some good for a change?
Perhaps AC3 will flip the script and have you acting on behalf of the templars during crucial moments, because they were the lesser of the two evils at the time... That would be interesting.
I think you mistakenly combined the two features mentioned under the heading. The first feature is the Animus 3.0, which is supposed to mean that the GUI will have a new visual style. The second feature mentioned is the Animus Database, which is being "written" by Shaun Hastings, who will inject his snarky British perspective into the entries. (Shaun made the Database entries in AC2 and Brotherhood, Subject 16 made the entries in Revelations)

Tried saying the name to my wife out loud and fucked it up.
Some good things, some things to be skeptical about. Was amazingly accurate with my prediction of cities used, frontier and Indian settlements. Good to hear they are greatly refining the climbing controls on natural elements like cliffs and trees: that will go a long way toward making country traversal interesting, provided the forests are as dense as they actually were in America at the time.
Most glad to hear they'll be going with some time before the American Revolution, so that's probably how we'll get to meet Benjamin Franklin.
US market >>>>>> british market
They decided he has to kill someone on the cover, so they're pissing off the smaller group.
He is confirmed to be a character, they said not expect Ben Franklin to be a copy of Da Vinci.
Shouldn't he have been killing a Native American then?
US market general >>>>>>>>>>>>>> British market >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Native American market

Why would a Native American be killing one of his own?
Excuse my ignorance but didn't the Native Americans teach the colonial soldiers guerilla warfare which is how they bested the British army?Why would a Native American be killing one of his own? That would not even make sense.... Although as I said earlier the fact that he's killing a Brit is interesting aswell, since the majority of Natives sided with the Empire, not the settlers.
I understand that is their general MO, but the Assassin's are similar are they not? I mean, Assassinating people is a forceful method of control. Yet the agents of the Assassin's are imbued with empathetic and benevolent qualities. I'm saying it would be nice to see that (in at least a small capacity) from the Templar side too. It's just absurd to think an organization that requires human operatives to accomplish its goals would be so thoroughly callous and consistently evil.They believe the way to save the world is to control the world even if that means they have to be forceful at times. Though it would be interesting to play from the Templars perspective.

Amir0x I told you this shit would be the jam.
mossoluk said:But Benjamin Franklin as crazy inventor makes so much sense =(
After most assassinations, the Templar dudes always have something to say that makes you question your mission. I'm pretty sure by the end of the main trilogy, we'll see that both sides are wrong. Templars use force to acquire a means to control minds to protect the people while assassins use force to protect people from being mind controlled.I understand that is their general MO, but the Assassin's are similar are they not?

Just remember, unless they retcon the lore, George Washington was a Templar. I think Ubisoft will genuinely make things interesting.
One of the main reasons for the War of Independence was not just tax-related, but also because of Britain's Empire-focused trade policies restricted who they could trade with. The majority of the colonists owned land and saw themselves as economic trail-blazers. They wanted to expand westwards, which Britain had refused to allow them to, in order to avoid conflict with the natives. I'm Ubisoft wanted to get really deep with their history, you could see Templars supporting groups of the revolutionaries, with the stated aim of opening the Americas up for business.
