[Chris]

If legit, I wonder if it will involve parts in England & the colonies.

Does anyone know when its being released?

[Chris]

Its expected for release at the end of October! :D

[Ellz]

oh wow, i actually can't wait! :D

[dbgtz]

First AC since 2 to actually get me excited, though I probably won't actually buy it day one. I saw revelations in some shop today for <£25 so I think I'll wait a little while afterwards.

Should be interesting, Revelations just felt rushed to me, still got plenty of game time in it, but the huge things you got to climb and had to figure out just felt rushed and too easy.

New image & info!


Set in the latter half of the 18th century, we'll see the war between the Templars and the Assassins escalate as it crosses over to the New World of America, and witness firsthand the events of the American Revolution. Caught in the conflict is a daring new hero in the Assassin's Creed franchise. We have the full story of this new hero and the striking game in which he stars, along with exclusive screens and art from the project, all packed into a massive 13-page cover story

Most likely a trailer, with gameplay at E3 later on in the year.

[@]@Oleh[/@] Ooo thanks for posting these! They're not in game images are they?

[dbgtz]

Seeing those screenshots has actually got me excited.

[Chris]

Some interesting info:


Leveling System:

"Imagine a leveling system in an RPG, except there's a finite amount of XP to find. The more in-sync you get, the more you fill your sync bar. Within each mission, each activity you complete has a value". You can replay everything to increase your score.

There is reportedly something resembling the Brotherhood system of picking up fellow assassins. Aligned groups are gone, but something new is replacing them in regards to factions. There's a new notoriety system that is more hidden and doesn't penalize you for exploring risky areas. The game has fast travel because the game has more traveling. It's a huge map.

Combat:

The tomahawk and knife are a "constant presence" in battle. They let you do double counters and multiple takedowns, as well as chain kills.
There's no more target locking. Counter/defense are the same button to prevent defensive turtling.
You can use human shields and other context sensitive moves.
There are lots of secondary attacks like the one shot pistol on the Y button.
There's a new dynamic camera to track the action and make it look as cinematic as possible.
There is a new sprinting system also, so you can hold the button to instantly turn around and start fleeing from combat. They also let you kill people while still moving so you can keep chasing a target.

Alot of information about the game revealed,

[Chris]

The animals & tree climbing sounds great! Its a shame they're taking away den defence and the factions, I quite enjoyed playing/using them:P

[samsaBEAR]

Assassin's Creed is one of few games that really don't need much changing in turns of gameplay mechanics between each game. I hope they don't change things too much and end up ruining it. The only thing, in my eyes, that needs changing is the enemy combat AI needs to be a lot smarter

[Chris]

The reveal is today at 4pm! Shame I'll be at college :(

The reveal is actually at 5pm, not 4pm

[TonyBest]

Sorry for the double post, but as i write this its saying 10 minutes left on the official AC3 site:http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/ac/en-GB/

[Chris]

Yeah I noticed earlier haha, my bad. Anyway, I watched the trailer and I can not wait!

[dbgtz]

The only thing I disliked with that trailer is the guys accent, it doesn't seem like how they would have sounded at the time in my opnion.

[Ellz]

wow, that looks amazing, i actually cant wait for it too come out :D

For those who havent seen the trailer

Trailer looks awesome! I know it sounds stupid but I hope they've kept the hidden blade, it doesn't look like he has it on in the trailer!

I think it was mentioned on a g4tv post that he does have a hidden blade. Don't think it would be double blades though.

Hard to say, though games like Age of Empires III which was set around a similiar time in America had a very similar accent for American characters. It could be a lot worse, be optimistic :P
