I’d likely be interested in this if it wasn’t for the fact that my country was pieced together by the loyalists the assassin in the above trailer so gleefully massacres. I’ve played enough chest thumping American video games with the Call of Duty, Medal of Honour, and Battlefield series that I’m actually a little disappointed to see yet another franchise fall into that trap. Trap may be a misnomer given how well this stuff sells. Oh well.

@chrisgless: Make that a female african american, and I’m all in! We need a female assassin already, seriously.

@Neil: You SHOULD have to play them, but you don’t.
Seriously, if you have to ask that, don’t even bother. Either buy the game and play it and if you’re confused then get the earlier ones and play them, or get it and play it and be happy, confused or not. In a story-centric franchise, you should always play the earlier entries if you want to fully understand what’s going on (or read up on a Wiki). If you want to be able to play a game from a series that has a large number at the end of the title, stick to Final Fantasy, or most shooters. Those barely have stories to even worry about, let alone needing to know what happened in prior entries most of the time.

I’m not even going to bother watching the trailer. I know I want the game. I have it paid off already, pending a more expensive LE/CE announcement. I don’t want to spoil anything more at this point.

@27 I’ll tell you why they bash the American perspective…because its the HIP thing to do right now.

Me? I’m personally super excited for the obvious patriotic bias, I mean com’on its the dag’on revolutionary war for petes sake! Just wait till the game progresses to modern times if you want a game with America as the big bad wolf!

Game stop, no thanks.

Better not play DLC favs to the xbox either…

Anyone else notice the pain sounds are the same one used in the game Happy Wheels?

Wow theres been a lot of interesting changes. I’m really excited about this game but theres one big question that North Americans have for you Ubisoft and I’m pretty sure someone already posted it already but will there be a collector’s edition for North America (and Canada)? We missed one awesome collector’s edition for Revelations.

One thing I don’t get is why are some people so offended by Connor only killing Red Coats (British people)? People are taking this game way too seriously. This new Assassin’s Creed’s time line revolves around the American Revolution and obviously the British were mainly the enemy of both settling and Native Americans during the time. And yes I know in the interview (and the game) the developers said Connor sides himself only with the Assassin, meaning settlers of the Americas (non native americans) could be templars as well. So I’m pretty sure he will be taking out American Templars. So some people should stop thinking that this game is racist. Its starting to feel like RE5 all over again.
