I'd be a lot more excited for this game if it wasn't coming out the exact same day as Need for Speed: Most Wanted, but I'm still extremely excited for it!

I've always wanted to kick a red coat in the junk! Thanks Assassin's Creed!

I'm really excited about this game, It was probably my favourite thing showing in all the E3 stuff, but I can't help but be a little put off by a trailer that is all "YEAH! YOU STAB THIS DUDE AND THIS DUDE AND THEN SHOOT A MAN POINT BLANK IN THE FACE!"

I wonder if there will be a scalping minigame like in Red Dead.

I'll never be excited about Assassin's Creed. 100% lock-on weaponry just kinda ruins it for me. Too automated to be truely rewarding. Hell - I bet firing the bow manually isn't an option, which is sacrilegious and missing the point of 'Bow Play' entirely. Year of the Bow - ruined!

A fine game overall, but still kind of a snoozefest. Bargain bin purchase if I ever saw one.

The narrator in this trailer sounds ridiculous.

It's always weird watching a trailer where the bad guy is describing all the weapons the player has at their disposal. I guess all those redcoats aren't paying much attention, else they would be more prepared actually encounter you.

1:05 Oh look a black guy, that probably needs to be explained: Slaves that joined the British forces were told they would be freed come the end of the war. There, just saved us all a lengthy argument.

Yeah, because common sense and facts end all internet arguments. Especially racially motivated ones.

Blackout62's not wrong, though. Dunmore's Proclamation led to the founding of the Ethiopian Regiment, an all-black militia unit unique in North America (and likely the entire British empire, too).

Although I doubt they would have worn British uniforms - the distinctive red coats seen in this video - there's at least a kernel of truth there.

I am happy they designed his suit a bit more to suit the game.

Either this video looks like ass or they are finally showing the console version footage.

@thabigred: Red Dead had a minigame? I thought it you just walked up to animals and there was the 7 second animation.  
 
Anyway this trailer's narration is pretty bad/annoying/ridiculous. Interesting to see how different it really is from the Ezio era games as far as gameplay, hopefully requires more finesse and precision, less of just a handful of timed button presses now and then.

The minigame was parking your horse in the right spot so that when you jumped down to scalp it, you would skip the animation.

This looks like a dated ass sandwich. I guess this is finally console footage. Very blocky.

@BillyLantern1995 and @Paulwade1984 : Putting the year you were born as part of your username is the most fucking annoying trends in Internet naming. Unless, of course, I'm mistaken, and say 1995 and 1984 are just there because the first 1994/1983 versions of your name were already taken. Otherwise, I am putting this lame trend on notice.
