Moomba Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I had a quick look around and didn't find an Ass Creed III thread anywhere, so instead I shall create one! Leaked image suggests that the "final" game in the trilogy is going to be set during the American Revolution: I will admit to being slightly dissapointed that our Assassin does not appear to be female.

Brandon Strader Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Why would it be female? Just out of curiosity... does ANY of the story throughout the first 9 games lead to a female assassin as the main character in this one? The indian clothes / tools are cool.

During the end segments of Brotherhood, a new female character who would be central to Desmond's quest was mentioned as someone he'd meet soon. So far, the most important characters in each of the games has been the Assassin, so it seemed like an interesting possibility to have a female ancestor for a change. But yes, a male character does make sense given the rest of the story so far. Strong female leads are cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomba Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Didn't Revelations come out after Brotherhood? Maybe she was in there. She definitely wasn't. Revelations was a pretty... unrevelationary game. I'm having a hard time even remembering any female characters who played much of a role in the game.

AngelCityOutlaw Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Not that I care about American history, but the revolution is a great setting for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamer Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I wonder if the main character is fighting on the American or British side. From what we've seen so far, he seems to be a rebel, but it could be that he is technically neutral, like in the first game (Altair was of Arab descent but killed members of both sides).

From what we've seen so far, he seems to be a rebel, but it could be that he is technically neutral, like in the first game (Altair was of Arab descent but killed members of both sides). The box art seems to suggest the American side and given that the options are the Imperialistic British Army vs Underdog Independence-minded Americans, it seems like it would be a given who the Assassins would side with (especially since the Church of England could be considered the Templars for the purpose of the game). But yeah, I'm hoping for a more neutral stance like in the first game. I can imagine them going with something like the entire revolution being part of a great Templar master plan with agents on either side of the war.

Abadoss Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hmm... pistols, bow and arrows, and a hatchet... could be interesting gameplay. I feel somehow that the running across rooftops might be hindered somewhat in this setting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelPanic Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Perhaps he's a French mercenary who is working with the Colonies to take out the Redcoats...but is secretly under a separate agenda sent by the French to take out the Masons???

Moomba Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sometimes you don't need too. I thought revelations would be crap. When I got around to playing itIt was crap. I enjoyed Revelations gameplay wise, though the whole bomb mechanic (fun though it was) seemed kind of pointless when I only used bombs once or twice - there was never really any demand for it. The story was eh and completely unrevelationary, but I wasn't expecting anything from it really given that it was originally going to be a handheld spinoff but they suddenly decided to stick it on the consoles. Except Revelations. I was expecting those. Misleading title right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
