I love Assassin´s Creed, but i still have to get Brotherhood.
The first image of Assassin´s Creed III just surfaced.
It will be set during the French Revolution, which i was expecting since the rumors when the AC2 was in the making.

Here is the new hero...

[Bruce Malone]

Wow I am so hyped for this game. I'm not even an AC fan I just could never fully get through ac2 the only game in the series i've played but the setting for this is so cool. I'm a semi-history buff and stuff like this is great.

I have to say as a big RDR fan the frontier stuff like hunting/trapping selling does seem really similar in nature. I'm not sure how the outdoor stuff is gonna stack up to RDR which was pretty amazing.

[Wolvieboy17]

Well it should probably be more impressive than RDR since in RDR the forest and mountains were largely just scenerey, whereas here in AC it's a playground for you to traverse.

AMERICAN Revolution, not French Revolution. (Although I still believe, deep down, that there'll be "Brotherhood" and "Revelation"-type spinoffs that carry the action overseas to France.)

Yeah, I absolutely love RDR, but I think compared to AC3, RDR's wilderness and hunting will be seen as sketchy, since that's only a small part of the whole picture in RDR. In AC3, hunting/trapping on the frontier will probably become a major gameplay feature, and will likely be more detailed.

Ac2, Brotherhood and Revelations are, possibly, my 3 favorite games this gen. And it sounds like AC3 will beat the lot of them. If it's all implemented correctly, we're looking at a great game here.

I jiust hope that Connor is as awesome a character as Ezio is/was.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

^Nice. Looks like that illustrates how snow will factor into movement, too....gonna be interesting to watch guys slogging through knee-deep snow trying to fight each other....

[Wolvieboy17]

I want this game now.

[Sebastos]

That makes two of us.

[Smegger56]

AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations, for me, are the 3 best games this gen, with Brotherhood the best IMO.

But I have to say, this game looks like it will beat them down. So promising. I just hope, like I said in an earlier post, that Connor is a good character. After Ezio and the 'improvements' they made to Altair, we shouldn't have much to worry about.

I haven't played an AC game...I've always wanted to just never did and I'm a stickler for contuinuity so I never bought the sequels but I've always heard how amazing these games are so I've always been intruiged especially since I love history and the templars....but now its coming to america and I'm a HUGE American History buff and the fact that they are coming stateside and making the Title character half native american and british has my Interest peaked to the highest...I'm definitly getting this and I'm also borrow all the previos games from a friend...putting MW3 down and focusing all my gaming to thise franchise until this games release.....I'M EXCITED...haven't been this EXCITED since Arkham City lol

[Sebastos]

If there's one thing that grabbed my attention about this franchise, it's the history aspect. The fact that we could play through these different settings sold me. Backed up with the fact that there's awesome stories and protagonists, the games are just loads of fun.

As a historian it is good to see that a lot of the history (minus the whole aliens part) is rather accurate. I've never done much on the American Revolution, so maybe next year, after I've played the game, I'll do a case study on it.

Hey, we all have our 'things.' I am not a fan of most FPS games but there is an undeniable sweet satisfaction of making some 'sh_t talker' go into rage mode and quit cause you've sniped his face off 10 times in a match

I love the endless info we get on landmarks too, I thought that was an awesome feature.

It's a post that goes way back to the first thread. Thread Manager seems to always carry the very first post from an original thread.

Steelbook Case in coming.

Assassin's Creed III is on everybody's mind following the big reveal that the franchise will be tackling the New World in the Revolutionary War.

The franchise's most recent installment has innumerable routes to explore, but eager fans are more than willing to do their part to obtain freedom from the corruption of the Templars.

While your adventure may not begin until October, starting as early as March 10th you can secure your own piece of templar treasure. Best Buy and FutureShop have secured an early pre-order that will be hitting their shelves very soon. This G1-sized steelbook boasts some superb artwork and great for fans and collectors alike.
Now to the question on everybody's mind. How does one secure their own steelbook?

Simply find the case in store, typically located in Best Buy's gaming department, and place a $5 pre-order deposit on Assassin's Creed III. At this point the steelbook is yours and the deposit will then be deducted from your purchase of the full game in October*.

A rumor is currently floating about that Gamestop will also be receiving a steelbook, but there seems to be no confirmation one way or the other. Personally, I suggest getting in on this deal early because this particular bonus is one that will undoubtedly go fast.

With this recent news about AC III it got me thinking to get Brotherhood & perhaps Revelations since I haven't played them but I always thought of them as a big expansion titles rather than pushing the series forward since I don't see so much gameplay changes and such and also besides the inclusion of MP but perhaps I'll get it just for the sake of the story alone.
