Nice. I debated on making an official thread, even though there's so much info on the 'Character Leaked' thread.

Can't wait.

Here's the choose your own path trailer.

...

That was my thought too until OP made this, I like the idea of an Official thread even though it doesn't matter haha

I am so excited for this game. Myself and two of my roommates are all getting this on launch day for Xbox 360.

PS3-exclusive DLC spans four missions to expose Benedict Arnold.

My feeling is that

Arnold may actually be an assassin himself working against the Templars in power in both the US and British forces

.

They better release some free 360-exclusive DLC in the near future to compensate for the PS3 DLC.

AC tends to favor PS3 (Brotherhood had exclusive DLC [Copernicus Conspiracy], Revelations had the original AC on disc). Copernicus Conspiracy was nothing major, just a few side missions that didn't affect the story.

Is the PS3 DLC free or paid? Because if PS3 users have to pay for the PS3 DLC I don't know why anyone would expect the 360 to get free DLC.

As one might be able to tell from my avatar, I am very much looking forward to both ACIII & Liberation on the VIta :cool:

1. Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent.

2. Hide in plain sight.

3. Never compromise the brotherhood.

You'll be forgiven if you've already forgotten the three tenets of the Assassin's Creed. There have been four games released in the span of five years, each building on the network of assassins and the lore leading up to 2012, the end of all things, the apocalypse, or so we think.

Before Assassin's Creed III lands on Tuesday, let's take a look back at where Desmond Miles, our modern-day, over-arching protagonist began and where Ubisoft has taken him throughout the centuries. Beware: there will be spoilers below.

Ubisoft?s ?Assassin?s Creed III? is set to be released on October 30 for Xbox 360 andPS3, meanwhile the Nintendo Wii U will launch with ?Assassin?s Creed III? on November 18.

As the game release nears, additional information regarding the game?s length has been shared on Friday evening.

According to CD-Action, a Polish video game magazine, ?Assassin?s Creed III? should provide a fairly lengthy adventure for those who buy the game next week.

An Ubisoft forum user named ?1 Khasim 1? has shared details from the latest issue od CD-Actionwhich claims ?Assassin?s Creed III? is 20 hours long in terms of story length. Additionally, completion of all side missions will add an extra 20 hours of game time ? so in the general area of 40 hours total.

?1 Khasim 1? posted on the Ubisoft forum:

The journalist claims that the main quests in AC3 takes around 20 hours, and completing all the side missions and challenges should last another 20 hours

Yesterday, Ubisoft announced that ?Assassin?s Creed III? is the highest pre-ordered game in Ubisoft history with the game bringing in double the pre-orders of ?Assassin?s Creed Revelations?

IGN: 8.5

IGN Users: 9.4

Metacritic: 84 (xbox 360) & 89 (PS3)

Metacritic Users (both consoles): 8.0

Possibly playing this evening.

Those are some reliable reviews. :rolleyes:

You have paid reviews by IGN

IGN fan boy reviews.

Gamed reviews on Metacritic

and Metacritic fanboys

Sounds like to me you've already got it in your head to dislike the game (though I could be wrong?)

How do you figure that exactly?

Quoting 'fanboys' on the user reviews made it sound like anyone giving it a good review is simply a fanboy. What if the user reviews were trashing it? What's the point of user reviews at all if they're just discounted as fanboy drivel?

As a note, I'm neutral on the AC series and am waiting for more reviews before I make a purchase decision. Just wondering why people discount user reviews so fervently (I know there are a lot of trolls on Metacritic, but they're generally on MMO or Sports games.).

Another note... I run a site similar in spirit to IGN, that allows registered user reviews. How would you suggest I go about making user reviews more credible? I'm really interested in this subject.

Have you read any of the user reviews?

Here's a good example:

"AC3 is a all new AC Experience, it has a Read Dead Redemption feeling and the best things that you love on AC series. You watch the trailers, demos and theres no surprise, it is amazing like you saw by Ubisoft. Maybe GOTY 2012."

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
    • Look who's back!
    • I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
