This New Assassin's Creed III Trailer is the Very Definition of a 'Teaser'

I used to post real trailers, until I took Ubisoft's social media strategy to the knee.

Might have worked if the video actually involved a knee joke, but alas it did not.

I noticed they don't show the PC boxart at the end. I wonder if that means it will see a later release.

I don't think you cared about this teaser at all. I think you just wanted to piss everyone off.

This used what seemed to be assets from the game, and wasn't three seconds of noise applied to text, so no, it wasn't. pretty far from it, Alex.

Yuck. That's a lousy teaser. I've never been interested in the Assassin's Creed series, but I was talking myself in to trying this one. I don't know... This looks sucky.

Well to be fair, the assassin did send an arrow to the red coat's knee. Ubisoft pulled the joke first.

Yay, I have to wait 3 minutes to watch 43 seconds worth of video in HD. Anyone else have a really bad experience with their video player?

I was betting on Patrick or Alex for this post. Makes sense Alex would make this tired-ass joke.

Can't say I have. Been a while since I had video issues through them. That's even considering the fact I have to use a crappy USB wireless adapter that overheats constantly.

I understand Americans love murder-simulators, but I don't imagine they're going to enjoy killing their forefathers! lol! I wonder if the game will make up some kind of conceit where you're only killing the British... as if American rebels didn't have more than their fare share in the white man's burden.

I'm sure Connor only wants to have a well reasoned discussion with him on the colonists' grievances against the crown.

So if we don't "unite to unlock the trailer" are they never going to post it? That seems unlikely.

The real joke is that idiots like you and Alex think it's "to the knee" when in fact it's "in the knee". You're an idiot and so is that piece of human filth Alex.

bad joke = human filth

Anyone heartily recommend going through Brotherhood and Revelations before 3? Anything really unmissable in them?
