Assassin's Creed III AnvilNext Engine Trailer is Super Purdy
Written Thursday, August 02, 2012 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

"Welcome to the un-United States of America," and welcome to Ubisoft's latest Assassin's Creed III video, which puts the game's cutting-edge AnvilNext Engine front and centre with a closer look at the diverse environments through the seasons, as well as the more built up regions like New York and Boston.

In what the narration calls a "seamless world of almost infinite possibility", Connor will be able to traverse organic environments with ease and witness sprawling battlefields inhabited by legions of soldiers, with non-player AI that's completely believable and stuff.

You'll probably know the majority of this stuff anyway, but it's still a lovely video demonstrating just how stunningly powerful the AnvilNext Engine is. Check it out below, then sharpen up your hidden blade and tomahawk for Assassin's Creed III's launch on October 30th, 2012.

looks like most fights will start with using a human shield to catch bullets.

Oh God! Assassin's Creed 3, Halo 4, Tom Raider, ... SO MUCH BEAUTY! The only thing that won't look beautiful is my wallet! Assassin's Creed 3 is definately my most wanted game for this year!

no one should respond to #3 every country is good in it's own way and no country is greater than any other.
OT this game does look good and the graphics look good will probably pick it up.

It's good to see him finally taking down some blue coats. I was afraid for a second that this game was going to be bias on the American side rather than a neutral tale. it's good to see Ubisoft taking the high road here!

Yeah Ubi stated that Connor is a neutral to the war conflict. This game is looking so good. I pray the campaign is lengthy!

@ 11. I believe all humans are created equal but to say that countries like the United States and Great Britain are no better than places like North Korea and Iran is an insult to the free world.

OT: This is my most wanted game of 2012. I'll probably take some time off of work for this one.

@15 You are getting a country's government too confused with the actual country. I'm sure Iran and North Korea have many great people in the country, the government on the other hand are not so nice.

Thank fuck for this video now maybe British people(Although I'm British I have never had a problem with this considering it's the AMERICAN REVELUTION) will stop bitching how only the red coats are being killed now that this video has shown some blue coats being killed.

@15 right on. I've travelled a bit and met alot of people in different countries. It's the govt that define a country tho, just look at the current crisis in Syria, and Russian/chinese indifference

Ignorance is Bliss. You morons realise there are more countries than just the UK and the US right? Fucking A, I dread to think what the youth will grow up to be like knowing how fucked up #18 is. When children grow up and the only thing they know is the internet and cool kid memes. What a world we live in, eh.

OT - As proud a Brit I am, this is only a game so I couldn't give a fuck. People who care so much about it need to realise this is a game, assassins didn't run wild and take red coats as human shields and brazenly kill in broad daylight. I fear people will lead themselves to believe this is the case, as my prior point states.

@1- I made a typo... *this.

@24- He's a troll. Go to any article and find another post of his. Or just read his user name. You'll see he isn't to be taken seriously. It's best to just ignore him.

The engine still looks the same.
the graphics don't look that much better.
the only change and good thing is the change in scenery. which is long overdue.

@28 You need some glasses if you can't see the upgrade in the graphics and player movements when compared to previous AC games.

Looks great, just finished Revelations story and can't wait to see what happens.

@28:
1. You're retarded. Engines aren't visual. It's how the game runs.
2. Put your glasses on idiot.Play Revelations and AC3 back to back and come here again.
3. That's not the only good change...?

Noticed the color, face animations, detail and many other things that this 'new' engine of theirs has. Its pretty impressive how AC3 is going to look.

This looks pretty amazing. I can certainly see this being the best Assassin's Creed, both technically, and narratively.

@36

Not defending the other guys comment but yours makes no sence either. Of course a new engine makes a difference to the visuals... And this game clearly looks better than the previous AC games.

Still haven't heard how a real person pronounces Connor's native american name, the one with a colon in the middle of it.

Don't you Americans even realise that the British are made up of more than just the English. Really annoying when you refer to the british as "the English"
