Assassin's Creed III

[jcalder8]

Ubisoft announced today that ACIII will be taking place during the American Revolution.

I have to say that I am less than excited about this time period. I thought that Europe was a better background for the series with how it is rich with history and you are traveling back to it. I will still pick it up for sure as I have loved the other games in the series but I think that I will be waiting for the normal Ubisoft price drop before I get it.

I love the American Revolution period and I'm excited for this game. Makes me wonder how we are going to interact with the founding fathers or the Boston Tea Party. There is a lot of room to work with. The only thing I'm wondering is if it'll be more focused on the outside world and less so on individual cities. It'll be a day one purchase for me, like every other game in the series.

The end of Revelations did indicate that it would most likely be in the Northeast US area. It was really just the time period we didn't know. This must be the finale for the intended trilogy. Of course we got the two Ezio spinoffs as well, and they'll probably keep making Assassin's Creed games without Desmond.

I've got AC2, 2.3 and 2.6 lines up and ready to play I just need the time. I played the first one and absolutely loved it. I got through 50% of AC2 on my PS3 before it died. I got them all lined up on PC (which i've plugged on the bigscreen and will use a ps3 controller). I'm excited for ACIII

I just restarted Revelations the other day. I still need to go back to brotherhood though and finish the puzzles

Put in my preorder with Amazon. I'll still get the metal case too. Woot. I can't wait for this game.

Have they announced a special edition for it?

[scott]

Not that I know of. But I've not gotten any of the special editions yet. Plus we never get the coolest version of the special editions of Assassin's Creed anyway, so I don't care.

I thought the CE from number 2 was pretty good.
