Ubisoft Confirms Assassin's Creed III Coming in October

Awesome!!!! Can't wait for this, another AC 100% platinum by years end!!

All that is left is to wait for the confirmation on a setting. I wonder if it will be at E3. Hopefully sooner.

[felatio]

Sweet. Should be pretty awesome. As much as I like these games, I do hope it is the last installment.

Am I the only one who is not happy about this? Look, I love AC series and that's why I think they should not be yearly titles. They should take their time and make an amazing game rather than rush it just to milk more money out of franchise.

AC2 came out 2 years after AC1 but ACB and ACR took only 1 year to be made. I mean the difference is obvious. This and the fact that they're pushing SP to side and make MP their priority makes me sad I hope this time they will put actual effort in the story. Will be interesting how they'll wrap up this mindfuck But if story concentrates on Desmond will there be ancestors?

Quality over quantity please.

AC3 begin to develope when ac2 is out which means it takes 3 years to develope.so i dont think they rushing it.and ya you are the only one

^ I really hope the focus is not MP. And AC III has been in development for 3 years, so it's not a yearly title really, I mean it is but they have more time to innovate and whatnot.

But that just shows they slapped together and put out 2 inferior versions in the mean time just to make some cash

But they developed the story so... it's ok I guess.

Two inferior versions? Brotherhood and Revelations were both much better then ACII IMO.

In terms of gameplay - yes. In terms of story - no. I think AC Brotherhood is the best AC in terms of game-play. ACR felt like downgrade... I mean ACR did have better story and multiplayer than ACB. But the single-player itself felt lacking. The map was small, horse-riding gone, VR training gone and while some stuff were added, the map is still small and incredibly monotonous. Look - we get small but very different-looking maps in AC2. In Brotherhood we get HUGE map that still had some variety. In ACR the map is smaller than Rome and everything look's the same.

I suppose the fact that they've been making ACIII for 3 years is a good thing, as otherwise it could have easily ended up as a rushed game.

Desmond's story is the key plot line in the entire Assassin's Creed series so far, so I'd be extremely surprised if they suddenly decide to do away with him. In fact, I'm betting they'll focus more on him this time around... because as the third part in the original trilogy, I expect this game to finally give us some solid answers.

If only multiplayer had any sort of priority at all! The player base has been complaining about not being able to play team games together since the day of release (actually, since the Beta)... yet not a peep from Ubisoft. It's fairly obvious most of Ubisoft is working on ACIII by now. I pity the few who are working on the ACR DLC that's yet to come. Lonely souls.
