Assassin's Creed III: Gameplay footage premiere

Fairly cool looking. Fortunately, they've gone with a half-native American, half-British main character, avoiding the ugly business of having a one-sided perspective on the American revolution.

They're also going to represent and deal with the issue of slavery, rather than the far easier option of dodging it entirely.

All in all, it seems like there's potential for a mature approach to an interesting historical period, at least to the extent that it fits into their fictional narrative. And that's something I wouldn't have expected out of mainstream games right now.

Um... one thing. What's with the accent? Did they have such a strong American accent back in the late 18th century?

I'm digging the setting -- the American Revolution is pretty uncommon as a setting for these sorts of things.

It's unfortunate (but not surprising) that it's Ubisoft. I'm sure they'll once again find a way to destroy the PC version and then blame poor sales on their customers. Case in point:

"We're definitely supporting PC, we love PC, but I think it'll be PC with a controller. I don't see us investing hugely in a mouse and keyboard setup. I think if you want to play on PC and you want to play Assassin's Creed, you have a controller." - Alex Hutchinson

Makes it look like the dude is a mass murderer......just put Dexter in there instead.
