Forgot this was coming out so soon. Looking forward to it. I skipped Revelations, anything important to this games plot happen in that one?

Hopefully he gets put through some rough shit like Ezio does to make him a bit more exciting

Almost his entire tribe is butchered when he's just a kid.
I've gotta finish up my class work for the next two weeks so that I'll actually have some time to play this. I simply can't wait for the PC version, so I'm going to jump right into the PS3 version like I have done for all the others. It will be nice not having to translate the 360 button icons into PS3 ones like I have been doing for a while on the PC.
I really hope Connor is nothing like Ezio. Such a damned fake feeling character with very little sense of progression even though he had the longest amount of time to do so in.

Has anything been said about upgradable weapons, armour, shop renovation etc? I really liked those in the previous games.
I don't think 3 will be less of an experience if you missed Revelations, but the game is worth playing at some point. Heck, if I were you I'd pick it up and play through it in the next week if you have time.
Xbox pre-order from Newegg for me. I have the first game and Revelations on PC as well, but it's just easier to keep the whole series going on my 360 with the delays and whatnot.
Reviewer friend. He says it's not exactly his favorite entry in the series. Or the best, for that matter.

Same here. Just finished Revelations yesterday and I'm pretty damn hyped.

Hope the Wii U port is good, might end up picking this up soon after launch. At the very least it gives me time to try and wrap up Revelations.

I was so tired of the series I skipped revelations but I might redbox this.
Not sure if anyone has posted or seen this, so my apologies if it's old, but I thought this was fantastic. Corridor Digital made a fan video of AC3 with live actors and it's really cool.

Only one post, and it's clear. Clearly, he doesn't love the game.
I'll be picking it up in a few weeks, I'm not getting the Gamestop pre-order bullshit and I can wait a little bit since I just finished Revelations last week and Platted it fully.

Hmm, k.
Thanks for the heads up. Ever since the E3 demonstration, what they have shown didn't exactly blow me away. It got progressively less impressive. *shrug*When's the reviews hit anyway? Typical, day of release Ubisoft nonsense?

Honestly as much as I love AC and Ezio I really found his origin story a tad tasteless.
YO YOUR FAMILY WAS KILLED AND LOOK THEY EVEN HANGED YOUR LITTLE BROTHER HE WAS AUTISTIC OR TERMINALLY ILL OR SOMETHING AND IT'S SORTA IMPLIED THEY ASSAULTED YOUR MOM YO THAT'S DARK, B
I sorta felt like they could've picked any one of those and had plenty to work with, but so much happens in the space of ten minutes it's a little ludicrous.
What was his favorite entry in the series?

Won't get this game till Christmas. Too many games coming out right now and I want to give each one enough time to play it properly.
Nice job on the OT btw Ninja!
I got one question: Are the Brits the only enemy you'll fight in the game, besides animals and maybe bandits?

Nope, you get to kill those dirty Americans, too.
That is what I want to know as well. Hopefully his displeasure means my pleasure. I mean, if I had to choose between a game more like 1/Rev or II/Bro, I'd take the former in an instant, although I definitely would prefer a game that is different from either type and is pleasing to more people. Still, if I had to choose... 1/Rev style would be my go-to.
Wow, I hope this isn´t true. Been hyping since March, this was gonna be GOTY
Another guy on gaf, who played the full game as well liked the game.
Brits will be the only the only enemies cause pretty much both side are ethnically Brits.

You know, I don't know. I didn't ask. Was actually asking him about it to figure out if I wanted to buy it myself, haha.
Brotherhood, I'm pretty sure. He definitely found Revelations disappointing. Sounds like this is comparable.
I am honestly expecting this to be one of the best games of all time.
I think i am overhyping it. But it has all the potential in the world. And if it isn't brilliant, it will be such a shame, because damn is it a good setup.
Hearing the word 'samey' is sparking my biggest fears. I want this to feel different. I want to feel an evolution,not just AC2 on an american set.

Oh man. 30th the game is released? I had no idea. I'm strongly considering the idea of purchasing the game. Haven't played an AC game since the first one.
Or I may get Dishonored. Not sure. Either way, hoping for some great Black Friday deals.

Nice
. I think I wouldn't like it if the English guys would be the only bad guys in the game. I don't know much about America's history but I do know the settlers weren't that nice to the native Americans either. And what I've seen from trailers and gameplays, the only people Connor killed were the British which made it look they were the only main enemies.
That's true, but I think you understand what I mean. Maybe a better way to describe it is to say the settlers versus the Imperialists?
Hell yes! I'm gonna be pleased next Tuesday.
That was really well done.

Darn... Brotherhood and 2 are definitely my two favorite while Revelations is probably my least.
I guess we'll see soon enough.
This would not surprise me at all. A lot of the things that are in this game that they've shown in previews or other media seems like most of the same stuff that was in older games but given new names to mask their same-ness. One of the only things that I know of that's 100% new is hunting and I can't see that being interesting for more than a few minutes. It's hunting after all.

Are both sides getting British accents? Haven't really noticed in the trailers so far.
Vire

Hunting seemed interesting until I found out it was a string of QTE's.
British accent was closer to American accents back then.
Jesus they found a way to make hunting even more boring. That's almost commendable.
You want exactly what you my friend wanted, even happily waited several hours for, and still did not get.
It sounds like if you just enjoy AC, you'll love this. But if you're looking for a real evolution - as opposed to incremental additions and minor change-ups - it's not here.
That's what I wanted, myself.

It was? I must investigate this.
I really don't see why anyone would expect this to be a 100% new style of game. It's Assassin's Creed, and it should play like Assassin's Creed for the most part. Obviously, there will be new stuff and should be improvements all around, but the core gameplay should not be changed. I mean, it wouldn't really be an AC game at that point.
Are they sending out review code for both console versions? I only ask because I want to know what kind of performance I should be expecting from the PS3 version, since past entries have had their issues. Still excited to see how this game turns out, the setting alone has me more interested than past games.
