I think some non-Brits think the British give a damn about the Revolutionary War. We don't.

You didn't read the other AC3 thread, did you?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Trailer of the year. We already won.

wat.


That was a shit trailer.

Looks like prerendered using ingame assets and the like

 

[Kinyou]

I find it incredibly hard to believe this footage ISN'T pre-rendered.

Probably pre-rendered in the games engine.

 

[shinobi602]

I find it incredibly hard to believe this footage ISN'T pre-rendered.

You could tell it was in-engine. Take a look at the eagle flying in the beginning. Look at Connor (the assassin). They don't look perfect like a CGI trailer would.

 

[V_Ben]

Gonna echo the tree running amazement. Whoa.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

IGN said "in-engine"

give me a break.

 

[Quicksilver4648]

So, rather than running across rooftop I can run through trees? Sign me up. I think this will be the first Assassin's Creed game I buy day one. Normally I just rent them or wait till they get dirt cheap but this looks like something special.

 

[Ragus]

Climbing on trees? Awesome.

 

[Kiraly]

Looks awesome

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Okay, I need to go pick up AC:Revelations soon. Think I have sufficiently cooled down after finished brotherhood a few months ago.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Really underwhelming trailer.

 

[Metalmurphy]

IGN said "in-engine"

Can't spell ignorant without IGN. That's not in-engine. MAYBE, it has some game assets but it's not being rendered with the game's engine.

 

[Alrix]

That looks cool..... but I didn't get an Assassin's Creed "vibe" from it at all.

Is that a bad thing? I'm all for something fresh.

 

[strafer]

dat snow

So, people seem to have some issues with this, but in-engine != in-game or gameplay.

For example, here's Dota 2's in-engine trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cSFPIwMEq4

GN: So people always are finding different ways to create value. And you saw the trailer, right? That's done in-engine with the game assets. And a whole bunch of people on the team jumped on that and made that happen. And nobody said, you know, "What's my title? I don't see 'cinematics' anywhere in my title." Or, "This isn't using Maya, so I'm not going to work on it."

[BigDes]

That bayonet kill was actually quite hard to watch though

 

[PaleFolklore]

The treeversal looks interesting. I'm still not sold until I see some actual gameplay though.

For Wii U launch? http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/36116/assassins-creed-3-wii-u-confirmed/

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

"In-engine" is a pretty loose term. See the Halo 3 reveal trailer for another in-engine view. If I knew the game was going to look that good, then next gen consoles could wait 5 more years.

That said, tree parkour for the fucking win

 

[alphaNoid]

 

[duckroll]

The Betsy Ross flag is pretty awesome. The trailer in general looks weird though. The editing isn't that cinematic, so it looks like simulated gameplay, but it also doesn't give a very good indication of how the game plays. Looking forward to the E3 gameplay reveal though.

 

[JdFoX187]

Wow, that was pretty awesome. Glad to see the Last of the Mohicans-style tomahawk combat looks like it's in the game.

 

[UrbanRats]

in-engine=/=in-game.

 

[seady]

I am waiting for Ubisoft to release a Assassins Creed 2 three-game pack to jump into the series.

 

[infinityBCRT]

Its in-engine with some added blur here and there. Except for the last shot with the soldiers which did look like it was a render.

 

[funkystudent]

I got moist at the idea of using AC's crowd tech to have massive crowd battles.

 

[Seda]

MCV posted this. Sorry I've been out of the loop for a while, so I don't know what's new or old, but this was posted minutes ago.

Ubisoft has at last lifted the lid on one of this year’s potentially biggest hits – Assassin’s Creed III.

The game will be released on October 31st and will, as rumoured last week, be set amidst the American Revolution, spanning from the days of the wild frontier and hectic battlefields to the busy colonial towns and cities.

It will also have a brand new hero – Ratohnaké:ton, who follows in the footsteps of previous stars Altair and Ezio. He’s of both Native American and English heritage and goes by the name of Connor.

And by the sounds of it, he doesn’t regard us Brits and our “ruthless tyranny” all that highly.

Ubisoft Montreal is heading up the game’s development, though it is working in conjunction with six other studios. The title will be powered by a brand new game engine.

Alongside the prerequisite PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions, Ubisoft has also confirmed a Wii U version ­– although of course we’ll have to wait to discover the console’s release date before we know if it will arrive alongside the other SKUs.

Ubisoft claims that the game is the “largest project” in its history.

“Assassin’s Creed III features the franchise’s most expansive setting so far, along with an exciting new hero and exponentially more gameplay,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated.

“Whether you’re a longtime fan of Assassin’s Creed or if you’re new to the franchise, you’re going to be blown away by the scale and marvel of Assassin’s Creed III.”

They also tweeted that its 3 years in the making, although that part seems absent in the article.

 

[Qwomo]

Neat, they did their homework and didn't give Washington a "British" accent.

 

[StealthGoblin]

You didn't read the other AC3 thread, did you?

I did. BritGaf doesn't represent the UK. The vast, vast majority of people in the UK couldn't give two flying fucks about the Revolutionary War.

Its a war that is more important to one nation than the other. People in the UK genuinely have more mindspace for the Crimean War, for example, than the Revolutionary War.

There might be the odd dodgy article in a newspaper trying to stir shit up. French people making a game where Brits get beat up. Other than that, nope.

 

[Nibel]

That tree climbing looked weird somehow.

 

[NoRéN]

Meh. Nothing Assassin's Creed-related can impress me now; I feel bombarded by the series during these last couple of years.

I know, right. But, I still clicked on a thread entitled "Assassin's Creed III - Announcement Trailer" because I'm a big man and like to be unimpressed. Woo!

 

[Willkiller]

Bought 1&2, got bored really fast so I skipped the last two.

But man, this looks great. I just might be back in!

 

[Dennis]

 

[Carl]

Lots of running and jumping. Hidden blades. Bloke with his hood up.

Yup, looks exactly like the last 4.

 

[shadyspace]

For Wii U launch? http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/36116/assassins-creed-3-wii-u-confirmed/

Awesome.

 

[rataven]

Not so crazy about George's voice. Rather bland. The whole last 10 seconds or so seem rushed.

 

[kayos90]

No hidden blade?

 

[demolitio]

AWESOME. I actually like the jacket too as it reminds me of the French army's jackets at the time. I was hoping they'd use battles somehow in the game and I won't be disappointed.

 

[ironcreed]

Not actual gameplay, but you can still get an overall vibe for what the atmosphere will be like. Which looks like it will be amazing and exactly the kind of change I was hoping for.

 

[ezekial45]

No hidden blade?

No, it's still there.

 

[BigDes]

Lots of running and jumping. Hidden blades. Bloke with his hood up.

Yup, looks exactly like the last 4.

Where was the hidden blade?

 

[Goron2000]

You didn't read the other AC3 thread, did you?

I thought that thread just devolved into "we don't like being called British", honestly i doubt that many people in the UK even know what the American Revolution is. In school we only learned about the discovery of America, nothing really after that.

 

[Agent Ironside]

Hmm, I notice the 1080p option in youtube to view the video, good chance this is PC footage?

 

[qizah]

For Wii U launch? http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/36116/assassins-creed-3-wii-u-confirmed/

Great!

Definitely going to get it for the Wii U if I can get one at launch.

 

[PapaJustify]

in-engine=/=in-game.

THIS

 

[Acquiescence]

We don't give a shit. It'll sell really well.

I think some non-Brits think the British give a damn about the Revolutionary War. We don't.

I'm still really sore about it.

 

[Kinyou]

I assume those are pre-canned animations, no way they could improve the climbing engine that much.

 

[luxarific]

Wish it was Paris in 1789 or 1871 (either scenario would have been awesome). Still, will probably buy day 1. :/

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

damn that teaser was hot

 

[Alrix]

Great!

Definitely going to get it for the Wii U if I can get one at launch.

Same. If I end up deciding to switch my "main" console to Wii U over my current 360, this and Darksiders 2 would be great to grab at launch time.
