The "Assassin's Creed III" Discussion Thread

Just saw this video. Thought it was worth sharing. Get stoked!

They set ALL THAT up...a hundred and thirty-nine times?!?

Holy crap.

edit - Well, I guess they probably didn't set it all up 139 times, since only the last take got all the dominoes to fall, but still, holy crap.

that's was very cool and at the same time very sad.

I got my newest issue of Game Informer today, and it had a small piece on another AC title, Assassin's Creed III Liberation, a full title for the PSVita, also set during the revolution.

It finally features a female protagonist, and takes place in a beautiful looking New Orleans. The magazine has a lot more info than the website does (right now), but let me tell you, it looks awesome.

But it's interesting to note that she is not an ancestor of Desmond, and within the AC mythology the game is created by Abstergo.

And here's something pretty cool - the Ezio trilogy, exclusive to PS3. All three Ezio games on a single Blu-ray Disc (which I wouldn't have thought was possible). The AC2 on this disc includes the two memory sequences originally released as DLC (just as they were included in the core game for the PC release of AC2).

I'll keep my separate copies, but that's a great way to get new players caught up to speed before playing AC3 (though the 'Trilogy' doesn't release until mid-November) at a reasonable price -- MSRP for the trilogy is $39.99.

I really need to get around to playing the Assassins Creed games. I beat the first two quite some time ago, will probably need to replay the series sometime this year. Of course, I said that about Resident Evil... was gonna do a full series playthrough before RE6, and put it off so long I only got enough time to beat half of REremake.

That's really cool. Now to go see if it would be cheaper to buy Brotherhood and Revelations separately...

Doubt it is retail, but bottom-of-the-barrel Amazon is probably cheaper. Your call.

I just noticed something I either never noticed before or noticed and forgot, during Brotherhood. If you leave the Animus during memory sequence 7, Lucy is nowhere to be found. Now that, I did remember. But if you go out into Monteriggioni, and turn on Eagle Vision, you'll find a set of footprints that eventually lead you to the fountain by the Assassin crest (aside: if the Templars have eyes everywhere, wouldn't a big-ass Assassin crest be a bit of a tipoff?) and abruptly stop there.

The indication would seem to be that these are Lucy's footprints (she's the only person unaccounted for), but what, did she grow wings or something? Why do they end so abruptly? Anyone else see this and know what I'm talking about?

The Ezio trilogy looks awesome. I'm not surprised that it fits on one disc. LA Noire took three discs on Xbox and one bluray on PS3, if that means anything.

I never saw the Lucy footprints in Brotherhood, perhaps (spoiler) she was picked up by a Templar escort there?.

I did however find all the Assassin junk left haphazardly around the town. What was up with that anyway? 500 year-old artifacts just laying around?

Well, I had never heard of that before, but wow. That's pretty interesting.

Anyways, I know everyone here is really excited for the game coming out pretty soon in the US (I have it pre-ordered), but I'll still have to wait until December to play it.
