Below you’ll find the second instalment of Ubisoft’s inside look at Assassin’s Creed III. This episode deals with the weapons and combat tactics you’ll see in the game, and details some of Connor’s weapons, including the Tomahawk, bow and arrow, and the Scorpion-esque spear rope (“Get over here!”).
As well as examining the brutality of the Revolutionary war, the episode also delves into the first examples of Guerrilla tactics, and why the British army was so ill-prepared to deal with this distinctly more devious and resourceful approach to combat.
Of particular interest in this episode, however, is the look at the brand new combat system. This has been scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up, and is no longer a simple case of timed button presses to counter your way through armies of foes. Instead, the game will play much more like Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham games, and features a fast, fluid and more skilful system.
So, have a look as you await the game’s release on PS3 and Xbox 360 in the US on October 30, and in the EU on October 31. This will be followed on the PC in the US on November 20 and in the EU on November 23.
