Assassin's Creed 3 Game Informer Details

Hell yeah! I wonder what main angle they are going to take with this one. AC1's was mainly about the concept in general, ACII's was about the location, Brohood's was about the Brotherhood element, and Rev's was about the travel. Of course, they also showed tons of other aspects about each game with the trailers too.

Skipped Revelations due to fatigue from AC1, ACII, and Brotherhood back to back to back, but this one sounds way more interesting. Hunting better be Red Dead Redemption level distracting in that i'll waste hours on it instead of doing missions.
i was under the impression that most slaves wanted to join the british, because they were promised freedom at the end of the war?
yup. At least a great many. Not sure the actual break down percentage-wise, since so many slaves of the time were petrified of choosing the wrong side and then facing the repercussions (and many did, btw).
The only Founding Father to join the Abolitionist movement before he died was Benjamin Franklin, even though he spent much of his life slowly evolving to that viewpoint before he got there. He was right at the end of his life too.

Sorry if this has been posted, but I didn't see anything mentioned about this..
Scored this baby tonight at Best Buy! Metal case, all you have to do is plunk down 5 bucks and tax.
Just like the RE4 case.. Doesn't mention anything important on the paper that was stuck on the back of the box. They are using the same case for the PS3 and the 360 versions of the game.

I was shocked too! I just happened to walk over to check out the games and saw it sitting with the other PS3 games. I walked over to the xbox360 section, and they had a few sitting there as well. They also had several over where they have a bunch of new games, in a separate section. Looked like they may have had around 15 or so total.
Sorry for the shitty pics, btw.

Oh yeah. Shit is always great for AC games.
Be assured Ubisoft is going to transmedia the shit out of this.

Very happy by the details ... Will hope to be more hyped with the CGI trailer coming soon

Sounds really good. It's coming across as a mix between Brotherhood and Red Dead Redemption.
Can't wait to run around scalping folk and getting in touch with my spirit animal.

I am not complaining. I think the idea is cool, yearly installments of franchises i like. As you can see Capcom milk me like a lactating heffer.

So you're gonna make me work to get out of that stupid hood, huh. Oh well at least there's a way to make that character more authentic.
The rest sounds amazing of course.

Holy fucking shit this has the potential to be incredible. Amazing that nobodys made an epic revolutionary war game yet.
Benedict Arnold was captured by Freemasons by the way. There ought to be a lot of Masonry in this game I would imagine.

It will be a cold day in hell before the end their biggest franchise.

The Civil War installment will prove you wrong. Steam engine travel ahoy.
And my wallet is sooo ready for it.
Though it's annoying this game already makes the encyclopedia out of date.

Just saw metal tins for preorders at the local Best Buy. Too bad the "Rating Pending" is printed on them.

Our store didn't have a way cool display like that one. They just threw the cases in with the other games.

I don't actually think there will be any iterative sequels to this one -- 720 and PS4 will likely be out in 2013, and previous interviews have suggested that Ubi wants to rest the franchise after this entry so they can prepare its next-gen debut -- plus this game will wrap up the Desmond storyline, which won't really leave a good way to handle such sequels.
I don't know why anyone would think they would end the series, any more than R* would "end" GTA. What they will do is end the Desmond storyline so they can use some other frame device for the next-gen AC4.
I'd certainly prefer it if they keep this detail true, but I'm not holding my breath.

Agreed. I like the other GI cover art a lot more.
Where was this said? I didn't play any of the previous AC games and George Washington's page on the AssCred wiki just says he's in possession of an Apple of Eden, nothing about him being a Templar.

Do Canadian Best Buys have this? I'll grab one tomorrow if that's the case.

ALL OVER MY FACE.
This sounds fantastic, absolutely loved II and Brotherhood, haven't played Revelations yet.

A Templar knight is part of the order of free masons. Was GW a freemason?

Ohh man this looks like a return to form for this game. So freaking jacked for this!
Really? What's going to happen with the French Revolution? It's begging to be addressed in one more iteration before this generation ends.

Sorry, just getting flashbacks of Altair being boring as FUCK for 90% of the game in AC1, because he's so stoic and serious

There are already pre-orders for this game? It's not due for another 7 months, and this time I might consider the Collector's Edition!!!
Tits, revenge, and explosions. That is what I think of when I see Ezio. Altair actually feels like a believable character to me.
