Assassin's Creed III

                                                                 Assassin's Creed III

     Assassin's Creed 3 is a game developed by Ubisoft, set for release in the United States on October 30, 2012 on the Xbox 360 and the PS3.   A PC release is set for November 20, 2012

Character
     Most of the game is set to take place during the American Revolution fromn 1753 to 1783.  Starring as the main protagonist, a half-English and half-Native American named Connor Kenway.  The last few games have starred the main antagonist as Ezio Auditore de Firenze (Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and Assassin's Creed: Revelations).  Prior to Ezio Assassin's Creed starred Altair ibn-La'Ahad.   And in between them all there has always been the present day Desmond Miles, the protagonist in all the Assassin's Creed games, tying in all his ancestors into present day.  He has this present day battle with Abstergo, and has been able to connect to his ancestors through the past through Abstergo.
     The stories have been able to progress through each game, leaving the players begging for more of the character.   I didn't feel overwhelmed when Ezio starred in three of his own games for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and I always wanted to learn more about Altair within the stories. 
     There can be many different supporting characters to go through, but not many of them are remembered once you disconnect from the game other than the entire company of Abstergo, and Lucy Stillman, none of them prove to be very memorable after, or sometimes even during the gameplay.
     "On this land, I am torn. Part of me wants to fight and repel all outsiders. The other part of me is the outsider. In the name of liberty, I will fight the enemy regardless of their allegiance. While men of courage write history of this day, the future of our land depends on those who are truly free."  Connor Kenway - Assassin's Creed 3  (I honestly think this character will be the most memorable of the series, but it is to early to tell)

Environment
     While the graphics have been through the Avil game engine, the new Assassin's Creed 3 is running on a new system called AnvilNext, which will be able to provide the obvious better graphics with enhanced lighting.  AnvilNext will also provide a new camera mode, improved crowd AI, and a dynamic weather changing system.
     The crowd will be able to be in the thousands, where in older games it was only able to be in the hundreds.  This new engine was needed to be able to provide the battles going throughout the game while you are playing.

Controls
     This is obviously going to be impossible to review, other than having ideas of how the previous Assassin's Creed games have played, with the easy free running across the city.  Assassinations to do in either a showy fashion or from under cover.  The gameplay has only approved throughout the games, and I know that the addition of the environment and other aspect will only prove to be an amazing experience that just won't let me wait until a future Assasin's Creed game.
     But to have an idea for how the gameplay looks, it never hurts to get some ideas, and this video shows a demo of the gameplay.  It isn't letting me upload video for whatever reason but for the youtube link for the gameplay of Assassin's Creed 3 click here.

 

Single Player and Multiplayer
     When asked about the overall length of Assassin's Creed 3, Hutchison stated that the game would last for more than 30 hours. It is inferred that this game length would be that of an average play through for the normal player. 
     One of the big things always seen in the old Assassin's creed games was walkthrough of the ancient buildings made out of stone.  The main places in Assassin's Creed 3 will be New York and Boston, with wooden buildings, giving a completely different look with the game. 
     Another thing about the buildings is always the buildings, because the characters would be free running and doing parkour in and around these buildings.  The big element for the character to get around now is trees, obviously providing a different dynamic to the free running, and more enjoyable experience.  (I mean come on, who hasn't wanted to run through the woods to take down enemies.  I've wanted to do that since the movie Predator)
     Weapons - another big change is Connor's ability is to grab weapons on the move.  While running to an enemy, Connor can grab a weapon that is lying around and use it to stab the enemy with the bayonet, or shoot them down.
     There are changes through the gameplay, so it is a time and tell to see how well it plays, but through the gameplay I believe it will be the best in the series. 

Conclusion
     I mean I could easily talk all day about the Assassin's Creed  series, I have always been a fan since the first one.  I can't wait till Assassin's Creed 3 and all of the following games to come afterwards.
