We need more games set in this time period!

I wonder how this will work, just cause early America doesn't seem like it'd be the greatest for climbing around on.

Unless he's in Britain or something.

This is actually pretty cool.

Just hope they don't jump to WW2 or something. We've had enough games set in that period.

Oh man, I got that trophy(achievement) immediately. I refused to wait cause I might get too high in rank to pull it off.

But that ended up making Ezio my main. Which I have no qualms with cause he effin rapes.

Part of me hopes the guy is actually George Washington.

George Washington being a badass assassin is the best alternate history since Lincoln as a vampire hunter.

Hmmm. I'm intrigued. Ubisoft's had three years to work on this one, hopefully it turns out great.

The rumors from a few months ago said the main character is half Native American, half American, and ends up meeting Washington. I guess we'll find out if this is legit on March 5th.

Actually, it could be a really cool contrast if you have him move between Great Britain and the underdeveloped Americas.

Especially since there's hints he might be part native American.

George Washington will be the Leonardo of the new protagonist, I bet.

I hope we get another quick time event hug!

If it's true, and they bring back the multiple cities from AC2, I can see the game taking place in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston.

I'm hoping for some sweet tomahawk kills, too. Looks like the hidden gun might be gone, replaced by that pistol.

I thought this exact same thing a couple of years back.

I'm swear the Brotherhood DLC hinted at that.

The latitude and longitude from the Brotherhood DLC did point to somewhere around New York IIRC. And I think the end of Revelations points toward that as well.

Yeah, Ben Franklin was my first instinct to be the guy to replace da Vinci.

I was wondering about what the odds would be that George Washington was actually a Templar, but it looks like he's gonna be an ally.

I was hoping you'd get to assassinate him with leeches or something.

Well maybe not "hoping"

From the AC3 board:

Got it here
http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Master_Sima_Yi/Leaked_AC3_info!

Okay, so I realize that news sites are already leaking info related to the leaked GameInformer article on Assassin's Creed III, so I suppose I will do the same here, even though it may not be quite right... Though it's either us or them.
Here is a basic rundown of the new features in the upcoming GameInformer article, to be released next week:

- The new Assassin is the son of a Native American woman and a British soldier. His calls himself Connor, but his birth name is Ratohnhaké:ton. Born into the Mohawk, he eventually crosses paths with the Assassins in his search for righteousness.

- Connor is quiet and stoic, letting actions speak for words rather than conversing with others. In contrast to Ezio, Connor is a freedom fighter who acts in the name of justice rather than on personal revenge.

- Settings will include Boston, New York and a large countryside. The countryside will be the setting of about 1/3 of the game, and will be the location of many events during the game. The countryside will be about 1.5 times as big as Rome in Brotherhood.

- The protagonist will fight on the American side, with primary allies George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Charles Lee. However, this does not mean that the Americans are the good guys and the British are the bad guys. Templars are everywhere…

- There will be seasons in the game, meaning that the sun will shine during summer and the landscape will be covered in snow during winter.

- Fighting and stealth will be completely re-innovated, with Connor being compared to a “predator”. The player will be able to climb trees and other natural elements, and dual-wielding weapons such as a dagger and a mohawk is now also an option.

- Animals will be present in the woods, like deer and bears. The player will be able to kill them and pelt their skins, to sell them later with the reformed economic system of the game.

- There will be puzzles similar to The Truth, only they will not be given by Subject 16.

- Desmond will go into the new Animus 3.0 and will find himself going into “significant events”.

- 100% sync in memories returns, though this time you will be rewarded when you complete memories to 100%. Checkpoints will also be introduced to mission replay, meaning you don’t have to replay an entire mission to get that 100% sync.

- The Brotherhood, or Assassins Guild, will return in some form, albeit differently than we have seen before.

There will be no more Mercenaries, Thieves, Courtesans, Romani or other factions, but there will be a replacement for them.

- Den Defense will not return.

I'm going to laugh so hard when George Washington is not only the final boss, but was somehow behind all of the events of the first two games, even though they were in the past.

It's funny cause Den Defense would actually make a lot of sense in a game about the Revolutionary War.

See, I had no problems with it, it was just horribly out of place in the last game. Now that we have a setting it works in, they drop it all together. Oh well.
