To a certain degree we can't blame Ubisoft entirely, Ezio is probably one of the best game creations we've seen in the last 10 years becoming iconic to the point that he's as recognisable as Master Chief.
Well the one negative we do have is sadly Connor himself. Assassin's Creed 3 Verdict:Īt the beginning we pointed out that perspective was needed, and from reading thus far you're probably wondering why, it all looks great. Multiplayer for Assassin's Creed has always been a favourite in the office, its inventive use of the game mechanics in creating multiplayer has worked brilliantly.ĪC3 is no different, a notable addition that has been made is the surprisingly useful tutorial system in place to help you get started and then improve on the areas where you're weakest. The controls are simple enough leaving you to focus on wind direction, attacking and then avoiding the inevitable barrage of hot lead that follows. The simple verdict on this is that it's brilliant. Connor can now take control of a ship and take on his enemies on the high-seas. One of the most important changes to the game is the new addition of naval warfare. Initially we found this an irritating addition but on reflection it certainly forces you to think of alternatives to simply climbing up a building. Be warned however, the rooftops are no longer the safety net as troops are stationed on platforms with muskets ready to catch you unaware. The maps are as big as Ubisoft have claimed with Boston and New York both veritable playgrounds. Thanks again to the scale and the power of the new AnvilNext engine you're not just given a house you're essentially given your own special part of the frontier, port included. To aid you in your campaign you're given a homestead, some land and the opportunity to recruit, workers, carpenters and artisans to help improve your homestead and begin turning it into a business. It's an inventive way of moving around the massive expanses of the Frontier and Ubisoft have gone for the safer option of letting the game do most of the hard work. This is the first Assassin's Creed in which the main character can run through the trees. Stand atop a tree, fire the rope dart down and then leap off effectively hanging your poor target.įinally, there's venturing into the forests. The most inventive however has to be the rope dart. Elsewhere there's the bow and arrow, perfect for long-distance silent kills. Connor's main weapon of choice is a Native Indian Tomahawk. Weapons have also changed, don't worry, the hidden blades are still there. Ezio had reached the point where we never truly felt we deserved the eye-wateringly impressive kill combos. Personally we see this as an invigorating change. Conner is noticeably harder to use in combat, the requirements to create combo moves and special kills have increased with speed and responsiveness being key.
ASSASSINS CREED 4 RELEASE DATE SERIES
Without spoiling the plot, they do this fantastically well.Ĭonnor is the accumulation of all of Ubisoft's experience with Altair, Ezio and Desmond in creating a character which both feels challenging to control but also retains the fluidity for which the series has become so well known.Ĭombat has also been given a serious work-around, and it may end up becoming a decision which divides people.
Assassins's Creed 3 plot:ĭon't worry we won't make your eyes bleed with spoilers, instead here are the basics: Assassin's Creed 3 essentially follows the same principles set down by AC2: in order to tell a truly engaging story you need to know as much as possible about the main character and their past. However with scale comes the need to find perspective, and with Assassin's Creed 3 reaching a verdict has been very much about seeing the perspective. It's so gargantuan in size in fact that it makes your average Call of Duty campaign look like a side mission. Well to start lets just say that Assassin's Creed 3 is big, and we mean really big. Continuing the story of Desmond, players will delve back n time to the American Revolution where they'll take control of Connor, a half Native Indian, half British Assassin who demands answers and seeks to protect his people.
Assassin's Creed 3 is the third and by far the largest instalment in the hugely popular franchise from Ubisoft.
