This forum does "OT" 's?
Why can't we just discuss games like on normal forums and not bring over this ... stuff from there?


I've been wanting to play assassin's creed, but I know it's not my type of game.
Oh peer pressure you nasty :-

Come on, I like making these ;_;

Oh and look, co-op confirmed, sort of http://ps3.ign.com/a.../1220079p1.html

^ The new Assassin's name is Connor, and is half British and half Native American. It's true that he fights with the Americans, but Ubisoft has put a lot of emphasis on making it clear that the British are not necessarily the bad guys.

And also this question: there will be multiplayer correct?

Ubi hasn't showed anything, but it was mentioned in the newest GI issue.

Five.

How come Link always yells Hiyyaaaaa!!!!

PRESS RELEASE

Ubisoft® Ignites the American Revolution with Assassin’s Creed® III

Paris, France — March 5, 2012 — Assassin’s Creed® III will hit store shelves on October 31, 2012, encouraging gamers to experience the American Revolutionary War not written about in history books. The largest project in Ubisoft’s history also introduces a new hero for the ages.

With a development cycle of over three years and twice the production capacity of any previous Ubisoft game, Assassin’s Creed III is set to release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Windows PC and is also in development for Wii U™ from Nintendo. Assassin’s Creed III is developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with six other Ubisoft studios.

Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution in the late 18th century, Assassin’s Creed III introduces a new hero, Ratohnhaké:ton, of Native American and English heritage. Adopting the name Connor, he becomes the new voice for justice in the ancient war between the Assassins and Templars. Players become an Assassin in the war for liberty against ruthless tyranny in the most stylized and fluid combat experiences in the franchise to date. Assassin’s Creed III spans the Revolutionary War, taking gamers from the vibrant, untamed frontier to bustling colonial towns and the intense, chaotic battlefields where George Washington’s Continental Army clashed with the imposing British Army.

Assassin’s Creed III is powered by Ubisoft-AnvilNext, a revolutionary new game engine that delivers breakthroughs in visual quality, character models and artificial intelligence. Assassin’s Creed III will feature a ground-breaking level of stunning graphics that bring Colonial America to life.

“Assassin’s Creed III features the franchise’s most expansive setting so far, along with an exciting new hero and exponentially more gameplay,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “Whether you’re a longtime fan of Assassin’s Creed or if you’re new to the franchise, you’re going to be blown away by the scale and marvel of Assassin’s Creed III.”

Assassin’s Creed III also can be pre-ordered at UBIShop® by visiting: http://shop.ubi.com/assassinscreed3

New artwork from Assassin’s Creed III also will be featured in Assassin’s Creed Recollection, the real-time board game for the iPad.

Game of the year!

Oh.. let's hope it's coming to the Wii U after all then. The game looks amazing.

Edit: Here's some higher quality scans

Okay, Wii U version officially confirmed by Ubisoft employees: https://twitter.com/#!/Aleissia/status/176717332587089920

I don't know

Hurr durr what's a durr?

I just read through leaked scans of GameInformer's newest issue which contains 18 pages of AC3. On the 17th page, they've listed the platforms it's coming to. The Wii U is not on that list....

^ From now on I'll call you Hwixter

Can't you call me Hipwix or something? xD I find Hwixter hard to pronounce

No countdowns, it's gonna make waiting so hard >_<'

Can't you create a new tab named "Countdown" where you put the countdown? Like just not on the front page.

Your computer isn't the Internet, mate.

Or is it!?

Thee Things I hate about the internet. I wasnt really asking you.

o.O

It's not only 4chan, you ever hear of draw Muhammad day? It about showing that Islam is not safe from criticism and the people shouldn't be so affected. It's a failure of a religion if the worshipers cannot stand outsiders. I don't see Christians in an uproar if someone draws Jesus having sex with a pig.
If protecting your religion is killing others for depicting your profit as carp, then you're unfit to live in this current era. It's not that Muslims don't take their religion more seriously, they fail to see that we don't believe in their religion, they cannot say we are all infidels.

Muslim extremists do not kill because of criticism, or because people disagree with their religion. How is drawing their prophet criticism? It's a difference between criticizing and humiliating. The Bible does not forbid you to depict Jesus in any form. The Quran, however, forbids this, and everyone knows that. When people still chose to draw caricatures of Muhammed, that's not criticizing Islam. That is humiliating Islam. And of course some extremists will react to that. But keep that in mind - not every muslim goes around killing people for doing these kinds of things. There are some extremists, like in every other religion, but these are in very few numbers.

Also, you can't say that Islam kills people for empowering women. The fact that women are put lower in the society than men in some countries has nothing to do with Islam, it has something to do with the traditions in the countries - where it has always been normal for women to stay at home, make food, take care of the kids, clean, etc, while the men are out getting food.

In Norway where I live, and a lot of other countries, the US is known for being racist, however, I've always thought that only applied to a few people, and that the US was not any worse than any other countries. I'm not calling you racist by any means, but I certainly hope not your way of thought is universal in the US, cause that's where you're from, right? That would simply show how little you know about other countries and cultures.

This has absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH FREE SPEECH. Free speech is about expressing your opinion by talking. It does not have anything to do with pictures of Muhammed having sex with a pig. I agree with the fact that it's wrong of some muslims to kill people for doing unacceptable things regarding their religion, but on the other hand, people should know better. The fact that some muslims kill people who humiliate their religion does not mean they're preventing freedom of speech - it has nothing to do with that. They're simply protecting their religion. Again, I do not support this in any way, but I understand it, and you should also understand how most muslims take their religion more serious than most people in the western word.

Those 4chan dicks make me feel ashamed and angry for living in such a society, and I can't see how anyone can support them.

Get Heroes of Ruin and Kid Icarus when they come out

The original design's size and sticks are much better. Glad they changed the position of those buttons, though.

• People who can't handle the fact that other people have other opinions, which brings us to...
• ...console wars, which brings us to...
• ...fanboys who instead of loving a brand, hate all others.
• People who make a big deal out of small things (these people are not only found on the internet, btw...) like being first on a video, article, etc. And not only the thousands who all type in "1sdtdts!" as a comment, but also those who decide to call them ogres, etc, instead of just ignoring it.
• Grramar natsiisisssi.
• ppl wh0 typ l31k d1s l0lzz
• Racists. As an example, people on 4chan are mocking religious beings, especially those of Islam, by writing things about them or posting images of them doing stuff that can seem, and is, extremely offensive. Dicks.

Negative people also annoy me, so I'm gonna stop now.

The blood in games and movies is too unrealistic. Most people don't spout fountains of blood if their heads are chopped off. In games, they assume that the human body holds the blood of 7 people and filled with micro explosions or a pumping system.

If you're thinking about GTA, I must say, I don't really mind that

it took me ages to learn that zelda is the girl lol.

90% of my friends still think Zelda is Link ._.'

I name my Link Link as well

No, they're not becoming too realistic. Some games just work better with high realism, like Battlefield 3, and some don't, like Okami. Both are great games.

I'm expecting $500-$600 Australian, and that's compared to some of the launches of other consoles.

$400-$600

That's pretty drastic, no? Remember how Nintendo said they wouldn't make the same mistake again?

I'm thinking $250-$300. I know that's pretty low for a console like the Wii U with the controller and all, but Nintendo's probably gonna do like Sony (and the 3DS?) and make it up on software sales.

Nintendo 6
Nintendo U
Nintendo Stream

I'd be happy with any of those. I just really hope they'll drop Wii out of the name. The Wii has an image you know, it's the console for casual gamers. If Nintendo wants to attract a new hardcore audience, they shouldn't name it Wii U. It's not hardcore enough.

How about custom or free downloadable menus!? People who can code can develop their own ideas and design menus that you can download from the Wii U Store; free.

Ehm, I really wouldn´t get my hopes up.

I think it'll be something similar to the 3DS, with the bottom screen being on the controller and the upper screen being on the TV.

I don't like the idea of using a town as the menu though, as it would take to long to do anything. Having to walk around for 10 seconds to open the eShop has to be a little annoying.

Also, they said after 3 the will slowdown on AC games.

Hopefully >_>'

I want a black console and a black controller. No decorations. Though they're only gonna give us white. *sigh*
