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

Not sold so far.

It looks impressive on video but I have a weird feeling that this will be on rails and really repetitive.

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.

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.

Yup the word isn't English in origin and neither the American nor British Army pronunciations are the "original" or "correct" if such a thing can exist. Lieutenant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Royal Navy don't even pronounce it Left-tennant so yeah its just one of those words.

This looks to play exactly like the Pirate ship levels from Sly 3, with much better graphics.

@TheVampireBoy i'm british and your statements are nonsense. A lot of American English is actually old English or derivations thereof. As for the 'colour' thing that was just Johnson being a francophile, we used to have stupid shit like 'emperour' as well. Webster disagreed with that since the -or form was in common use in Britain and America at the time, so it's actually more pragmatic. Another example of this horse shit is the whole aluminum/aluminium thing. 'Alumium' was the original name, neither of us is really 'right'. As for Lieutenant, well that's a french word British people either couldn't read, pronounce, or stomach at the time. Americans pronounce it 'correctly', we corrupted it and fucked it up. Remember that language evolves over time and to stifle these changes and idiosyncracies would make it dead and dull.

Thanks, the dude actually hassled me in another comment because I had made a joke about the spelling tyres. Evolution is a good thing for both sides of the same English coin. :P

This video wasn't particulary enlightening. I mean, do you issue orders to the crew, or direct the ship directly? Fleet tactics? I just want to know more of the nuts and bolts of how the combat works. Looks great though, high hopes for it.

Yeah, I imagine they didn't show the nuts and bolts because they're not entirely thrilling, but this might as well be a "hey look, you can be on a boat . . . that moves!" trailer.
