E3 2012: Fresh Assassin's Creed III Footage, Trailer Hits E3
Written Monday, June 04, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

On stage in their E3 presser, Ubisoft just showed off some gameplay footage and a new trailer for Assassin’s Creed III, all of which was incredibly incredible.

First we had some free-running in the trees, then there was a face-off in the snow between Connor and some wolves, then he was in the middle of a camp accepting missions. A quick conversational cutscene later and he was off on horseback through the snow once more. It was breakneck.

Later, amongst a group of vile English scum, Conner showed off some of his snazzy combat moves, including an awesome Arkham City/Asylum style silent hanging execution.

Then came the mountain climbing, with Conner hoisting himself up a sheer mountain face before making his way up above an enemy encampment. Scanning the area quickly, he unleashed a bomb, blew up a building, caused chaos, killed a load of dudes... and then it was over. Fucking brilliant.

It's all below.

Looks like a cool new twist for AC. I think that using the trees for parkour is really neat, and unique from previous games.

As much as I would love to go around and kill some redcoats, I probably won't be getting this. I still have to play Revelations and it's kind of annoying that a new AC game is out every year. I didn't know that Ubisoft was owned by Activision.

This looks awesome, but my only gripe is...

There's no way a mass of soldiers wouldn't just continue firing until the guy is dead. No group of soldiers will fight a single person with musket knives.

I'm not sure how the reality of this will play out. The other games were slightly more believable in the sense that there weren't a lot of guns, etc., and so enemies couldn't use them. I'm assuming that for Revelations as I haven't played it yet.

This is way different though.

@21 Connor was already fast approaching the mass of soldiers at close range; a musket takes at least half a minute to reload. Just imagine all of the steps needed: Using the ramrod, unscrewing the gunpowder bag, pouring in the gunpowder, inserting the lead ball, ramming it in, and then cocking and firing. If they attempted to reload, Connor would have already slaughtered all of them immediately.

Ubisoft really hit their media briefing right on. Their content focused on what really mattered which was their audience.

@15 Take my cash now? Is that supposed to be funny? I've seen it thrown around a lot and quite frankly it got old fast, not to mention how stupid of a statement it is. It's great you want to support big business but c'mon man. It's like the idiot who keeps saying "first".

Wow. That combat is f-ing fluid and the tree climbing is very realistic and detailed. Nice work and a good move finally leaving the Italian setting.

Do any Americans die in this damn game? All the media for it so far has been so anti-British. What I liked about the original Assassins Creed was how it remained impartial, you killed Crusaders and Saracens because there were Templars on both sides wheras all the videos for this are "lets go kill some redcoats", this is the first combat video i've seen that explains that they are gonna kill some Templars and its British Troop you're killing again!

On a side note, why is there a soldier from a Highland Regiment with a load of English/Welsh (more likely Northern English given the accents) Line Infantrymen?

Ehm..no thanks! This series also needs some real innovation. Releasing a new, slightly polished and advanced game every year won't do the job.

Assassins creed is one of the only games that just keeps getting better I thin. This looks like a great improvement and a great step for the series.

I will get this, but I won't be as enthusiastic as when I got 1 & 2. Also PS3 graphics ruin the potential of the game, as usual... When will Ubisoft learn?.

I kind of wonder why they waited three games to reinvent the franchise so strongly. This looks as amazing as the first time I saw Assassin's Creed.
