FYI, if you see some aliasing and other weird junk in the video, that's not the video player. That was in the source file Ubi sent out.

So this + date for Dishonored + date for Hitman.

Is today the "international day of the assassin" or something like that?

cool trailer. He talks about his ethnic reasons for fighting but has yet to mention his assassins' reason. I want to know how they are going to tie it in beyond something like "the British are lead by templars. Kill them all."

the framerate seems unstable 60-30. Either that's a video thing they did or not. Whatever going to play it on my PC so I'll probably get 60 anyway if they don't lock it... the fuck am I talking about this seems awesome! :3

This is going to be the best AC yet I think. The new engine makes everything fluid and diverse. I also can't wait to continue the story Desmond/Connor. I agree that looked INSANE!

For someone who hasn't taken sides he seems to kill an awful lot of British soldiers.

Pardon my ignorance, but will Assassins Creed 3 run at 60 frames per second? Because it looks like it is.

Someone needs to teach those redcoats how to fire their rifles.

I'm excited about the Native American stuff now, but I initially had some reservations.

I am so sorry for that.

I don't think all of those redcoats should be firing right behind those other redcoats like that. No wonder we lost the war.

What's with those stupid quotes, have they even played the game? That's just stuff which people said after the trailer, you can pull quotes like that for almost any video game out of your ass.

I didn't like that they continued the story with Brotherhood(I liked it), but I didn't bother to buy Revelations and I won't buy 3 until I bought Rev, so yeah, tons of other promising games coming out and my goddamn backlog wants to get smaller.

So the real message of Assassin's Creed 3 is that bears are the true enemy of liberty.

Kinda the same here. I always have loved them, but I haven't bought the latest one, it just seems like a bit of a chore to be honest.

That ran a little too smooth, which means that it was all recorded from a PC running some high-end shit. I doubt this game is running that damn smooth on a console. I mean, would they actually kick this game up to 60fps rather than 30fps on consoles? I just...I mean, 30fps gave everything this very specific weight.

Nonetheless, I'm stoked.

First off: Pre-order stuff needs to disappear.

Second: What are those quotes towards the end impressions of? Did they get early copies of the game already or what is that all about? Reactions to the trailer? Have they tried a preview build or something?

Third: This looks nice. They've chosen an interesting setting.

Damn, the chaining together of assassinations looks like a great step forward. I still haven't beaten Revelations yet, but this trailer made me want to go back to it so I think I'll do so tonight.

This part got me so fucking stoked. I mean it obviously won't be available for EVERY building or whatever, just from a conceit of asset generation, but still, it could make traversal even more quick and fluid.

Looks good, but I still haven't played Revelations yet. Guess I kind of had enough Assassins Creed in the last couple of years.

I'm not saying this game won't magically end up being 60 frames per second in the end with the gameplay, but all I'm saying is that trailers that have been modified exclusively to look like they are running at 60 frames per second when the gameplay won't be running at that framerate is pretty stupid.

Maybe a slave rebellion game will be next where you play as Nat Turner. Too soon?
