E3 2012: Assassin's Creed III Ubisoft Demo

It's cold out, so be sure to grab your hoodie and your knive-sleeves before you trudge out there to hop all over them British.

The eternal battle between Giant Bomb and the Electronic Three rages on.

SO good. I'm back on the AC train after two years of rehashing.

EDIT: Finally got it. :)

SO hyped. I don't usually buy games at launch, because I'm a cheap bastard, but if I'm caught up in time, I'm definitely plopping down the cash on launch day.

Looks pretty sharp! Certainly reminded me how much I love stabbin' fools. Interested to see more of those rope mechanics too.

I don't know how fair this game is going to be if you are up against the New England Patriots.......unless they are dealing with a lot of injuries, I think they will be hard to beat.

After two years of not giving a fuck, the AC series has got me interested again. Although this doesn't look drastically different gameplay-wise I think the change in setting might just be enough to keep me interested, at least for one game (here's to hoping they don't start a 3 sub-series). I hope the character is interesting. The characters and period were some of my favorite things about the original AC2.

Finally, its time to start playing Assassin's Creed games again. Voice acting sounds a bit too modern doe

That was a pretty awesome demo. I've still only played the first AC. I really need to catch up with this series.

@HerbieBug: Not to blow your mind or anything but your racial mix actually doesn't determine your accent.

Because he's also British.

AC2 is really great. If you have time, play AC Brotherhood also. AC Revelations you can skip.

I like many was wondering how they were gonna make a series based on verticality work in open terrain, looks like they've done a good job.

Granted you'd think a team from Quebec would know just how fucking hard it is to climb icey rocks...

This looks fucking fantastic. I love how there's carriages and troops out scouting around, having their war, while you are focused on other objectives.

I was really questioning Ubi's plans for this series, after they kind of ran the Ezio storyline into the ground, but my faith is definitely back.

Wow, looks amazing. The movement types are diverse and all the animations are so seamless and fluid. I love this series because they do the most important thing right: moving. I know the first one had a lot of issues but the core mechanics of climbing buildings and running across roof tops was still super fun. When I first played it I thought for sure the gameplay would be cloned in other games (Batman dude!) but it just never happened. I guess it's hard to do?

My hope is that every time you see a British guy drink tea, a bounty is automatically placed on his head.

Wow. This is probably really stupid, but I really admire how they animated him climbing the tress, hahahah. ans;dfkn;fdn it looks so fluid and specific to Connor's style, I DON'T KNOW, oh man. And, of course, flawless voice acting as usual. I'm so pumped.

Really excited about this fresh new setting that's so overlooked in most games. I hope they do it justice! I'm from roughly the New England area myself, and actually recognized some of the birdcalls in the game. They sure as hell did their research!

@jasonefmonk: Why is asking about a lack of a native american accent "prejudiced", get off your Political Correctness high horse.

@zodstein:

Apologies to all. I think what I missed what was actually captainanderson's sarcasm, still not sure that HerbieBug was being sarcastic. Somehow it all came off as two truly ignorant comments when I read them together; instead I just kind of added to the mess. Should be careful to not wear the literal-hat when reading the internet.
