Danny Cifuentes said on March 6, 2012
i thimk we and hundreds were doing it cuz
website failed and went down for like 10 mins after the
countdown was over
RaeAnne Fox said on March 5, 2012
Well done! Incredibly Well Done the hardwork has paid off! I’m hoping the Wolves are useful in other ways besides hunting them for their pelts.
pedgz said on March 5, 2012
blending with wolves. sending bears to combat. luring with eagles.
yeah!!!!
Jarrett said on March 8, 2012
In our dreams :p
Wolf said on March 5, 2012
Ok, I’ll admit, while I still have some skepticism, this did give me chills.

david_29 said on March 6, 2012

MysticHeero said on March 5, 2012
I really can’t wait for this!!!! I agree with @kuro the free running is the trees looks like great fun
Russell Sparrow said on March 5, 2012
The park our through there trees looks beautiful!
André Silva said on March 5, 2012
It’s going to be awesome
pierre s. said on March 5, 2012
I think a complete version will be released for E3 ? This one is only 1 minute <<
Jarrett said on March 8, 2012
I think that they may do the same thing as Revelations, they made the battle trailer with the music, then they had Ezio talking in an extended version where he put the rope around the Templars neck and dove into a crevAAAS :p So they may add something to this one… maybe him sprinting down the hill and slicing necks on the way and using a body as a sled :p haha if only :3
André Silva said on March 15, 2012
I hope they release the complete version at E3. This trailer was just the appetizer for the main course

Corneliu Comendant said on March 5, 2012
Finally!
Mathieu Philippe Doucet said on March 5, 2012
Running on trees, who would’ve thought?
Kate said on March 5, 2012
Can’t wait to play this! The trailer was great
André Silva said on March 5, 2012
I agree. It’s going to be awesome
ismail hozien said on March 20, 2012
it looks sick, but i wonder if there is going to be a hidden blade, it looks as if there is only a tomahawk, but i dont mind the tomahawk looks cool
Laura said on March 5, 2012
The movements look fantastic :3
yousef alhunaif said on March 5, 2012
there was no hidden blade
MysticHeero said on March 5, 2012
Connor does have a hidden blade, but no we didn’t get to see him use it it seems, just the axe
Laura said on March 5, 2012
if you look closely to the left you can actually see it on his wrist XDDD
Laura said on March 5, 2012
and seeing how the armpieces actually match just perfectly I’d even asume double wristblades…
Alucard said on March 6, 2012
did you see how awesome he was when he flipped the Tomahawk around his hand ….Drooling
André Silva said on March 5, 2012
Dirk said on March 5, 2012
You can’t see the hidden blade because it is hidden hahahaha
pedgz said on March 5, 2012
^^ what he said. but initial reports are already stating he does have a hidden blade(s).
Wolf said on March 5, 2012
If you look closely at the screenshots/photos that have already been released, you can clearly see at least one hidden blade mechanism.
The hidden blade and the stylised ‘A’ are integral parts of the AC franchise. I really doubt they’ll just arbitrarily decide to do away with them, especially since, modern day Assassins-ie, Desmond-still have them.
Danny Cifuentes said on March 6, 2012
yeah thats true what @wolf sed.. plus i believe we might have to earn it or something
david_29 said on March 6, 2012
Even if he did not have a hiddenballade that tomohawk
pedgz said on March 7, 2012
what i want to know if connor and assassins by his time still has a hidden gun feature in it. if not, looks like he’ll be having that gun with him all the time. if yes, then this guy is pretty… no, heavily armed!!!
André Silva said on March 5, 2012
IT’S GOING TO BE AWESOME
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
André Silva said on March 5, 2012
The tomahawk
looks AWESOME
!!!!
Jen. said on March 5, 2012
*Gasp*
Please may i have this game now?…pretty please…
I have candy…and cookies ^_^
Alucard said on March 6, 2012
they only accept chocolate and it wont help you this time….
Jen. said on March 6, 2012
Darn it!
LOL
pedgz said on March 5, 2012
come october 30, i will find out just how good this is. the teaser already is, i wanna know how much more the full game will be.
Ryan said on March 5, 2012
Ezio’s gone.
Otto said on March 5, 2012
i stalked the computer at school to watch this. then i found out that it didnt have flash and i stormed to youtube
Dirk said on March 5, 2012
I hope That you can take the rifle of those red coats, That would be awsome
pedgz said on March 5, 2012
with a new game engine being utilised, i am going to enjoy that bit in 0:32
if i saw it right, he stabbed the guy in the chest with the bayonet, buried his tomahawk in the back, and then pulled the trigger on the rifle. triple-hit-all-fatal death combo FTW!
Alucard said on March 6, 2012
^ what he said!
LooneyTexan said on March 6, 2012
connor looks like ezio and more brutal.. all that raw energy.. i am so gonna like this game. i’m not sure if the animals could be used to lure the guards or anything but i think it would be hilariously fun if connor could send in the bears like mercenaries, eagles to swoop in to steal a few coins and wolves dressed like courtesans to dance in front of the guards while connor sneaks past to pick berries from the bush. guy needs his vitamins.
ok i am just being silly. love the game :D
Alucard said on March 6, 2012
love your imagination lol
MysticHeero said on March 6, 2012
hahaha when I read the “and wolves dressed like courtesans to dance in front of the guards” bit there I thought of the movie Dances With Wolves…. not quite the same, but its how the movie should have gone
Alucard said on March 6, 2012
i am in love with the new Animation
(ubisoft)
(ubisoft) 
the clip reminds me with the in-game cut scenes from Uncharted games, i truly hope that this trailer was all using in-game engine
catpclike said on March 6, 2012
Finally!
pedgz said on March 6, 2012
gotta love the george washington speech there, too. as relevant as it was then as it is now for his country.
ismail hozien said on March 6, 2012
I was watching the countdown finally its out. isn’t gorge washington a freemason/templar.
Evan said on March 6, 2012
Score one for us Native Americans.
ismail hozien said on March 6, 2012
yup I’m palestinian so assassins creed 1 got me from the start with altair
MysticHeero said on March 6, 2012
Any one else notice that Connor doesn’t have a scar across his lips? Just look at this site’s background picture over there <——– and no scar!!!
LooneyTexan said on March 7, 2012
maybe he’ll get one scar across his lips during the game.. one of those cutscenes..
pedgz said on March 11, 2012
you can’t see altair and ezio’s scars on the numbered ac titles, too, anyway…
hey! that could be a good reason to have a 3.1 and 3.2 title after ac3… to show connor’s scar…
Kenway said on March 6, 2012
Loved it, hurry up October!!
david_29 said on March 6, 2012
Got to love the tomohawk to the head in the video
André Silva said on March 6, 2012
Totally
André Silva said on March 6, 2012
The countdown is over, and now a new countdown begins
André Silva said on March 6, 2012
When does the next trailer come?
André Silva said on March 6, 2012
I’m so going to buy the collector’s edition.
Genevieve said on March 6, 2012
I know what I need to do…
PRE-ORDER!!!
ismail hozien said on March 6, 2012
pedgz said on March 7, 2012
and it’s alex ross artwork, too. always love mr. ross’ work.
Hashashin said on March 7, 2012
I love the trailer, but there is one thing I am confused about:
After doing much ‘real world’ research into the Hashshashin and Knights Templar, I found that the KT are part of the Freemasons.
In ACIII You are allied with George Washington, correct? Yet, he is listed as a Freemason. Perhaps my research is incorrect or there is more to be released in terms of the plot of the game, but assuming my research is correct and Connor and GW are allied throughout the game, then surely this is a slight contradiction to the Assassin / Templar war theme that has been consistent throughout?
Jen. said on March 7, 2012
The article in the April “Gameinformer” does say something about not all the Good guys are good and not all the British are bad…
So perhaps this game will be more focussed on those grey areas, they may still be allies,
even if thier Groups are not…
after all, ultimately, the Assassin’s and Templars are after the same thing
…World peace…
It’s just a question of how morally acceptable your leader thinks killing a whole bunch of people is :p
Well that’s the impression i got…I’m probably wrong lol
pedgz said on March 7, 2012
just remember that some of the facts in real-life history books will not necessarily match with how ubisoft crafted the ac universe. take for example machiavelli and cesare. in real-life, cesare is considered as one of the prime figures of machiavelli when he wrote the prince. in brotherhood, he used ezio. it’s going to be the same with how ubisoft will present characters & settings in ac3.
Stephanie said on March 7, 2012
Most of the facts in real life history books are out of date. The one’s in America’s corner are really out of date. George Washington was never a Mason just because he went to one or two meetings against his will (I say that because he did not like them) does not make him one of them, he did in fact his best to avoid them.
But many things were spooky about the man who could not be killed on the field of battle and Indians said the Great Spirit protected him from harm. Lord I love that man so for being so interesting He is like this character from a fiction novel!
pedgz said on March 11, 2012
this theory came up to me today: washington may actually be a templar or a templar ally at the start of the game, him being tasked to take a PoE to the new world. however, over time, he began to get in conflict not just with the british but with his templar masters as well him seeing how their methods aren’t the way he envisions the colonies/future usa. he then joins in the declaration of independence not just against the british but also against his templar masters. with the story beginning furing the french & indian war, i am guessing he will encounter connor at that early of a stage and learns something from the assassin thus he decides to cross over to the assassins or become an ally of the assassins.
Stephanie said on March 8, 2012
100% true Washington Fact
The Indian Prophecy on George Washington in 1770
” I am a chief, and the ruler over many tribes. My influence extends to the waters of the great lakes, and to the far blue mountains. I have traveled a long and weary path that I might see the young warrior of the great battle.
It was on the day when the white man’s blood mixed with the streams of our forest that first beheld this chief. I called to my young men and said, Mark yon tall and daring warrior? He is not of the red-coat tribe—he hath an Indian’s wisdom, and his warriors fight as we do—himself is alone exposed. Quick, let your aim be certain, and he dies. Our rifles were leveled, riles which but for him knew not how to miss—‘twas all in vain; a power mightier far than we shielded him from harm. He cannot die in battle.
I am old, and soon shall be gathered to the great council fire of my fathers in the land of shades; but ere I go there is something bids me speak in the voice of prophecy. Listen!
The Great Spirit protects that man,[points at Washington] and guides his destines—he will become the chief of nations, and a people yet unborn will hail him as the founder of a mighty empire!”—–
That is just fun
pedgz said on March 11, 2012
wonder what would washington think of his “empire” now in the 21st century, though…
Jarrett said on March 8, 2012
I had a great idea for this game! If their going to make it so you can hunt wolves and stuff, why not be able to buy meat to place near an enemy to attract the wolves?? wouldnt’t that be great? they’d do your dirty work then you can just skin’em after >:D
Jared Thompson said on March 8, 2012
First Mass Effect 3 starts the year completing a great game trilogy and now Assassin’s Creed III ends the year completing a great game trilogy. This is perfect. Is is October yet?
pedgz said on March 11, 2012
always comes in three’s for me: mass effect 3, ninja gaiden 3, assassin’s creed 3.

Kat said on March 9, 2012
Don’t mind me, I’m just going to lie down on the floor for a while until the room stops spinning from the pure awesome that is this trailer.
Do you guys ever get tired of absolutely blowing peoples minds with epic? I sure hope not! The graphics, the fluidity of movement, the details (the pattern of the beaded bands sewn onto his sleeve!!), the sound, the music, the settings… *_*
Can’t wait for open season on Red Coats this autumn!
Kat said on March 9, 2012
~…Fixes line spacing…~ ^_^;
Deividas said on March 9, 2012
eh…ezio would have done better…Conor is a rook.
pedgz said on March 11, 2012
that’s the same thing people said of ezio when ac2 came out in comparison to altair…
Kabraun said on March 10, 2012
The day before this game comes out, i will invite my friends over to play AC1-ACR and pick up the game (i will preorder it) the time it comes out. I can’t wait to kill some more Templars!!!!!!
-Kabraun
Ciprian said on March 12, 2012
It’s Insanee !!!
Jizziran Delmonte said on March 12, 2012
Maybe Connor isn’t Desmond’s ancestor; because did anybody else notice that Connor didn’t have a scar on his lip like Altair, Etzio, and Desmond.
david_29 said on March 13, 2012
just realy noticed the tomohawk looks like the
symbol
gbruhl5 said on March 19, 2012
I’m a little afraid. It doesn’t really look like assassins creed, I don’t want ubisoft to ruin a perfect game.
Samuel Glover said on April 9, 2012
It’s so freakin awesome I watch it like once or twice a week! I feel like it was to short is there possibly going to be an extension?
Lexter said on October 12, 2012
I remember seeing this trailer at first, and amazed of the new additional features and upgrades.
Al said on October 15, 2012
There’s something familiar about George’s voice. Sounds like the same guy who did the Guards voice in the Ezio games.
