Would have been more interesting if the Assassin worked against the rebels IMO.

My GOD.
You must have only played the first one.
Although this looks cool, it's sad to see it set so much further in the future than the previous games. I'm going to miss the middle ages
You aren't excited to be a witless pawn for the Templars?

No, it looks out of place in this time and place. Not A hood, but THIS hood-design. Not groundbreaking ofcourse but art direction wise i think it's a weird decision.

damn that looks amazing. Im just hoping that it wont be the same repetitive gameplay that we've seen in every other AC.

AMAZING
Which is why I think it'd be awesome if Francis Marion is an ally in this game. He took the Native American's strategies and applied them to the conventional war and the assassin would fit right in with them, especially after seeing these wooded area pics (that we expected) because that's exactly how Marion would have attacked them there. Hell, the one picture reminds me of The Patriot hiding behind a tree waiting to strike a convoy.
But as far as the comment that the coat's a different color in the pic, it might just be muddy or the usual ability to dye clothing just like previous AC games so nothing new there from what we know.

Played the first one and enjoyed it for what it was. I own the second thanks to the Steam Christmas stocking giveaway but haven't gotten around to opening it because of Ubisoft's PC DRM policies and a general lack of interest in the series.
I do have to say, the protagonist looks absolutely ridiculous in this setting. They were pushing the cowl in the previous games but now it's full out incongruity here.
More interesting? French and Indian wars. I have to say, for me, the American Revolution is just about as drab a setting as you can get. But, then again, I have no patriotic feelings towards the event and it's less interesting than other conflicts because of its saturation in other media.
The idea of the gameplay from the first being applied to a wilderness setting does interest me. However, I felt part of the whole Assassin's Creed shtick was the 'social stealth' mechanic (at least that's what they were pushing really hard in the first game, don't know if it carried into the later ones). This guy looks like he belongs as much as a pink elephant at a horse racing convention.
That's the problem.
Can't speak for Ezio, but at least Altair's costume fit more with the representation of the clothes in that game. It was a sort of mesh between the Templar invaders and Arabic inhabitants of the region that at least gave the impression Altair could pass as one or the other irregardless of the city he prowled.
This? It looks like someone is trying desperately to transplant that iconic image amongst the blues and reds of colonial and British militants. And there is zero elements of it blending in with any native imagery to even try and compensate for the rumours of his mixed heritage.

Haters are going to hate but I am VERY ready for this. It looks to be as large as a change as AC1 to AC2. People can complain about his outfit but it is probably the most iconic part of the series next to the hidden blade and they wouldn't dare alter it too much. Also, it doesn't really seem any more out of place as the other AC games. Hell, in the snow covered wilderness his outfit seems to excel. If they throw in wild bears and wolves then I will be just as happy as ever. That was one of my favorite mechanics of Read Dead Redemption.
Also, to the people that think the assassin will just be killing British soldiers, I highly doubt that. There are enough conspiracy stores of the era to allow for assassinations on every type of person, regardless of origin.

Classic Ubisoft bullshots but I really like it.
Seeing those pics also made me realize how incredible underused the setting is.
Still not really up with the character design though, overall it looks almost like Ezio time traveled and equipped himself with the current weapons. I hope they changed some of the animations this time around.

For now it seems that we are going to have major gameplay changes (main outdoors gameplay, with everything that implies). Hype to the roof!
yeah, looks silly. especially if he'll be trying to blend in. its really kind of a minor complaint, for me at least, and i'm sure i wont even think about it after playing for a while

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
oh look, weather affects, tree climbing, and hunting. where have we heard that before. huh.

Yeah, based on what we are hearing and seeing, it could not possibly be turning out better for me. I am going to of course wait until I see it in action before going completely nuts, but it is most definitely hitting all the right notes of change so far to get my interest in the series completely renewed. So much for my early skepticism.
3 years isn't enough for you?

Hmm? My point is that there are multiple teams working on the AC series.
He's talking about revelations. Which was made by at least 8 different ubisoft studios in a very short time

Look, Assassin's Creed and Red Dead Redemption got really drunk one night, things happened, and they don't talk to each other much anymore.
However, the end result is this beautiful baby.
