Agreed, its the Tomahawk that sealed the deal for me. I bet they will replace the throwing knives.Kingme18 said:
I was hoping for the Russian revolution but I guess it makes sense here as well. At least it isn't Ezio AGAIN. (I did like Ezio, however.)
I do however hope for the ability to actually aim and fire my gun. And before I am called out saying "Don't turn it into a shooter!" I am not suggesting a shooter, I would however like to pick off enemies with my gun without having to be within 20 feet of them. To compensate and not make it a shooter, add a noise aspect or make reload times take forever.

Can we have a source on this? I'm not really doubting you but I've seen plenty of high quality fan art for Assassin's Creed in the American and French revolutions.
This is interesting. Victorian England would have been my preferred choice but this is very good as well. I'm really looking forward to see what they're going to do next with the story and what new ways of killing people we'll have, besides the obvious axe and gun from the picture and their trademark, the hidden blade.
I don't know whether it's true but I've read that they've been working on it for the last three years, so hopefully, it will be good and polished game. I'm certainly excited.

Ezio first gets his hands on a gun in AC2. In the series' chronology, guns appear...significantly ealier.way2sl0w said:
The Russian Revolution (well...the fall of the tsarist regime) is already being covered in a comic series.Terminate421 said:
I'm betting it's fake.
That outfit is a horrid abomination. I mean absolutely shitty. Trying to mix the original outfit with revolution era buckles, just wrong wrong wrong. Go one way or the other.

Eug, of all the amazing times they could have gone with over the course of history, all the little known time periods with huge story potential they went with the *that*. Another opportunity to go all 'AMERICA YEAH!' and so on...
Ah I'm probably being unfair and it's not like I was a big fan of the series to begin with anyway. Still I can't help but think there are so many other setting which could have been so much more interesting.

Bummer then.Korten12 said:
I was kinda looking forwards to AC3 hoping for perhaps a female protagonist or what not. But this picture alone managed to suck a lot of the desire I had right out.
I'm not to sure how I feel about the Native American pitch, it just seems so strange and bizarre. A lot like the outfit, a weird bastardization of cultural ideals that don't really fit. Maybe I'll be proven wrong and will all work out for the best, but my initial feeling isn't a good one.
It was always going to be a challenge for Ubisoft to move the AC series into a modern setting, I mean, you could come up against the worlds most dangerous martial artist today and only need 20ft and a loaded glock to beat him/her.
If it is set in the Revoloution then there is still room for hand to hand combat but I think they will have to put a larger emphasis on stealth, no more just running into a enemy patrol and beating them with counter attacks. I always felt that AC never felt like stealth was of paramount importance because you just become practically impossible to be defeated.
