Want to Know How Assassin's Creed III's Naval Combat Works? This Video Should Help

LOL, content blocked by Ubisoft.

P.S. I already have this quest.

shite

I think this is what I am most excited about ACIII.

Not really, I'll find out when the game comes out.

Stab them in the face with that boat!

Ubisoft should probably stop blocking their own promotional videos. Idiots.

Duder, it's over...?

I don't care how fun the boat section is, when I think about what I want from Assassin's Creed, and what I want to see from this game, the naval stuff isn't it. Oh well, I guess it is at least something from the game. I don't want to sound pessimistic about, as I already have, because maybe it is a great addition, and something I should be excited about. I hope this is just one of those great moments that happens early on in the game, and then new stuff happens. I don't want this to be a tower defense type thing again where it doesn't really help the story along, it's just a thing. It doesn't look like it though, it really does look like it's just part of the main game since you can see he's sporting the different costume, which means this probably takes place early on in the game before Connor becomes a real assassin.

What lovely static. Is it just blocked in Europe?

This is right up my alley. They could make a spin off series about historical naval warfare and I'd be all over that.

@NTM: They have said the majority of the naval stuff is optional.

It's pronounced and spelled as Leughtenant. I still find it humorous having Americans criticism the English for their own language. Did you know that color is spelled coloUr. British people made the language, I think we have a right to spell words in their proper sound instead of simplifying everything.

Looking forward to this! :)

@deskp: Which means it's like the tower defense, that's too bad. It should have just been an individual memorable moment in the game, and not as you said, something optional that you can do throughout the game. Oh well though.

All this naval stuff just makes me wish someone would put out a legit pirate game. Maybe this is just them testing the waters on that stuff (pun unintended)?

LANGUAGE WARS, WHEN WILL IT END

@NTM: Well the forced mission might be memorable, then the rest optional ;)

If it was just one event in the game they wouldn't have have been showing so much of it in trailers and demos.

Eppulate was worn on the left side. Army captains worn their on the right. Also Leutenant's place was on the left of the battle line.

Hey, Alex, it's pronounced that way because it's partly a french (the lew) word and British were--historically--not big fans of the French.

Dumbass Ubisoft, won't let me watch what is basically an add for their game...

Video is blocked because of copyrights .... nice

Yo, Assassin on a boat!

I'm getting this game...the more I read the more I want...

You know what would of been cooler, if Ubisoft didn't show this and left it as a cool surprise in the game, but that never happens anymore always got to show the best parts to sell a game that noone needed selling on.

Video got blocked on YouTube

I want naval combat in every game.

@deskp: Yes, that's true. I know.

@TheVampireBoy: shut up.

Yes. Nothing says "assassin" like Man-O-War.

New technologies, new setting, same old forces vying for world domination. What's not to like?

Well great. Ubisoft has blocked their own trailer on YouTube. Marketing!

While this explains the mechanics, it doesn't really show it. SLOW-MO! ZOOM! HIGHLIGHTING!

Europeans, you guys aren't missing much.

did the dude just say blow rubbish of your dick because if so holy shit did assassins creed get better

What's with people watching this on Youtube anyway? Is the Giantbomb player for subscribers only or something?

cool story

And yet, when we say "Soccer", a term that was coined in England, you guys get all pissy. We can't win with you people.

@Insectecutor: Bravo!

I commend you on standing up for the truth against your own countrymen rather than just joining in on the classic "I'm not from America so I'm going to trash them any chance I can get cuz it's cool to hate them" thing I see going on at least once in every other forum post.

Hip hip hooray!

: )

I'm going to stay tuned for evermore information on Assassin's Creed III.

how come connor moves in slow motion but his clothes dont?

@DFSVegas:Soccer? A term coined in England??? You do realize that football was invented by the Romans. Right. It still troubles me how football is classed as one of England's biggest export, which is wrong. Sure we refined the sport, but the Romans were the ones who invented the primary components and rough layout of the game.

I didn't say they invented the sport, I said they coined the term (and take a massive amount of umbrage when it's used). Did you even read what I posted?

@DFSVegas:I don't. I hate football or soccer or what ever the heck it's called. The players are all over paid and under worked pussies.

Hey, I got an idea for both British and American English: how about all of you people just stop using the word "epic" when you're describing anything for at least 3 or 4 years from now on? Can you please do that? Thank you.

Jesus, really?  I can't believe Assassin's Creed is still active. 

This still does nothing to show what actual gameplay of this boat stuff actually looks like. Stitching together various shots willy nilly is not informative. All this shows to me is "this is what we're trying to do with the boat stuff".

I was always a bit puzzled by "leftenant" but I suppose it's not much of a criticism when you consider how far off both British and American pronunciations are from the original French.

So, I guess the real question is... can the new guy swim?

As a Canadian I'm more than happy to spell colour with a u but neither colour nor lieutenant are English creations. Let's keep some perspective on what ownership of a language really means.

What is this word "Leughtenant" anyway? It doesn't seem to be in any dictionary.
