Bad quality screens

Gameplay Video -

It takes place during the Battle of Bunker Hill. You mission is to assassinate British General Pitcairn. It begins by walking through a group of American soldiers being pumped up by what seems to be a high ranking officer. Connor walks through them and walks into the battlefield with hundreds of soldiers firing at each other. Connor can only advance between rounds of firing. Connor sneaks by the soldiers and traverses through trees and rock climbs and fights off a few enemies with some awesome dual wielding combos and flanks the enemies and enters the British encampment. Connor goes running into the camp and perform a continous assassination onPitcairn which means he will kill 2-3 people between him and the target but he'll never stop moving between killing those guys (hatchet to the back of the head of one guy and push him away, then hidden blade the next guy and roll forward off the kill and then kill the general ala typically AC).

Impressions -

GT wasn't lying about the animation system. Imagine Uncharted in an open world game. He'll slide, swing, jump under/over branches, run across branches like the trailer, free scale cliffs by putting his hands in the cracks, react to explosions, change his posture according to where he's standing like near a wall and even between branches/trunks. Combat is really fluid and dual wield is awesome. You really get the seem that Connor is a hunter and one with his environment. The trees don't look too prebaked (you can kinda tell where you can begin) and do resemble real life trees in the sense that its never really a straight shot and doesn't look like jump a little to the left and then a little to the right. You'll jump on a 45 degree log and run up to another and swing to another and land between a trees trunk (V shaped trunk) and then jump to another branch and run up that branch so you can then free climb a cliff.

Those are incredible looking until that last one.

Yea, I think it'll look better at a lower angle.

Just shows you not everyone can be Naughty Dog.

I mean the shadows are too fuzzy and the snow impressions look horrible.

Agreed, not the best screen to release.

Longer walk through of Boston

You know, I get the advertising angle, but I'm really tired of seeing Connor only fighting Red Coats. If Templars and Assassins are fighting on both sides, maybe show a bit more of it. Otherwise, I'm just getting too many "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!" vibes.

[Crazybone126]

^Seriously? Wow. I'm not getting any such vibes at all. I'm getting a "This takes place in the American Revolution" vibe. I don't feel it's an advertising angle at all, it's more of a "This is the game's main story, so let's show it" angle. They've made it quite clear that they're gonna be doing much different things with Assassin's Creed III. The Templars and Assassins may actually be dressed up as British Redcoats, we don't really know yet. We've already seen, in the Boston gameplay demo, the Assassins disguised as Redcoats, so who knows, man, who knows.
