PC release date confirmation

PC release date is October 30 on the amazon preorder site. (Arabian411269 (talk) 22:42, August 2, 2012 (UTC))

Ubisoft releasing the PC version a day earlier than the consoles? What universe does this amazon exist? --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 03:17, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

Lol. Totally get your point (though it pains me) (Arabian411269 (talk) 13:50, August 3, 2012 (UTC))

isnt the US release the 30th? amazon has probably just got that date as tentative and it would change if they get more info. Ægritudo _Talk 05:30, August 3, 2012

I doubt they'll just change it. Any change in delivery dates is a breach of contract unless they have a disclaimer or something. (Arabian411269 (talk) 13:50, August 3, 2012 (UTC))

any date(or other info for that mater) that they have for preorders/unreleased product is subject to change, if ubi pushes back the release date this change will reflect on the amazon page, they will garantee the price you pay wont go up on your preorder tho.

Ah, shit. (Arabian411269 (talk) 01:39, August 12, 2012 (UTC))

New Screenshots

I found these new screenshots on kotaku. (Arabian411269 (talk) 12:16, August 15, 2012 (UTC))

{C {C}{C Should we put them In AC 3 page, and have you sourced them??AnsweratioN ^{Coffee Maybe?}_{Wisdom words} 12:27, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

They're good quality images so I don't see why not. Source them and you're good to go. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 13:14, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

none of these three are sourced, do they really add anything to the article? should also be asked before adding them. Ægritudo _Talk 13:15, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

I did a bit of digging and sourced the images. Thanks for noting they were from kotaku, made the whole thing a lot easier. We can go ahead and use them for the articles now, seeing as they are of good quality and could be useful for certain sections. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 13:47, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Glad I could help. (Arabian411269 (talk) 14:16, August 15, 2012 (UTC))

Criticisms

So I was looking through the Criticisms section and I noticed there's only room for one image there (otherwise it looks bad). Now I'm wondering, which image would be better suited for the section? We could go with Connor assassinating a Continental (pictured on the section above) to show the outcome, or we could go with him killing Redcoats (currently used, pictured on the right), showing the cause. What does everyone else think? ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 08:11, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: I hope you guys don't mind I changed this part to a vote of sorts. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 14:03, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

Continental

1. I say put the one where he kills a Continental soldier. The Redcoat picture reinforces the rumor and misrepresents the game since almost EVER other picture on the wikia shows him killing Redcoats. Plus it looks better, just sayin. (Arabian411269 (talk) 13:30, August 17, 2012 (UTC)).
2. Agree we shuld take the one where he kills a continental solider.--ACsenior (talk) 13:43, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
3. I'm voting here because most other images show Redcoat killing, and it would show the change brought about by the criticism. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 14:03, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
4. I say continental cause if we make it seem that the rumors are true then less people will want to play, and if its decided to not put the picture on that specific section lets put an assinated continental pic somewhere on the page. (Mullac09) 5:00, August 17, 2012
   1. We aren't advertising the game. The Crimson Eagle (talk) 14:58, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
   2. Made a mistake sorry its (Mullac09) 5:05 August 17, 2012

Loyalist

1. I would go the other way and say leave the redcoats, simply because it does display the subject of criticism. couldnt they both be displayed if the existing image and the new one were displayed smaller? Ægritudo _Talk 13:47, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
2. Yeah. It doesn't fit the "Criticisms" topic unless you show one exclusively with Red-coat killing. Fairy Tail Grand Master^{<F.T.G.M. >}
3. Keep the Loyalist pic, but add some text saying that they did show some Americans being killed, finally. Why so serious? (talk) 14:58, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

1. How about both, but in a slideshow. --ACsenior (talk) 13:56, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
2. Putting both would of course be better. Just reword the paragraphs to get it to look right. (Arabian411269 (talk) 14:00, August 17, 2012 (UTC))
3. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought votes had to be cleared with admins first and then allowing them to oversee and apply changes when the vote is over. Also, I thought all votes were to be kept to the forums area for ACIII discussion rather than the article's talk section. -- ► Kaloneous ◄ _{♣^HelpDesk♣} 14:16, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
4. Hmm... I didn't know that. It started as a discussion but when I saw people had varying opinions and input, I thought a vote of sorts would be a good idea. Also, this seemed quite minor to warrant a separate forum page. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 14:20, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
5. Well it's here now, I'm just worried it will turn into another argument like we have witness numerous times about this subjects hence an admin to adjudicate would be a good idea in my opinion. -- ► Kaloneous ◄ _{♣^HelpDesk♣} 14:26, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
6. And I don't really see why the area cannot have two pics in the first all..put the new pic in the right hand side of the last paragraph [[File:Connor_Killing_Continental_Soldier.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]..also change the other pic to 200px..--Odranoelluta^{Talk✲<choose><option>http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel-cinematic-universe/images/1/18/Sig.png</option></choose>} 15:11, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

Is the criticism section even needed anymore? I mean, we've seen him kill plenty of colonists now. It's outdated. 71.65.74.137 21:52, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

What about Connor killing a Continental with a British musket wielder? I knoww it would probably be like the Ottomans and the Byzantines, but still. Ezio Auditore 1459 (talk) 00:48, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't the developer diary be posted in the video section?24.189.110.253 21:52, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Will you add new characters to the Multiplayers?

Dear Assassin's Creed Editors,

My name is Sean Wolf and i wanted to ask if you were gonna add different characters in the Multiplayer Game?

Because I have pretty cool ideas for characters that you could use. Like different assassins with good storys behind them, what weapons they could use, and names for them I think some of my ideas would possibly get more buyers Assassin's Creed III. If your not interested it's okay... atleast you read this Letter.

Sincerly,

Sean Wolf

Ps. If you are iterested in some ideas my email is seanwolf97@hotmail.com

This wiki is made by FANS. The staff stay in close contact with Ubi, but we are NOT Ubisoft. You can discuss possible MP characters in the Forums. The AC3 page is updated frequently and includes an up-to-date list of MP characters. ThatRandomUser ~Lair of Randomness ^{(Enter at own risk)} 14:15, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

Homestead

Why is there no info on homestead in the article. From the sounds of it it will be an important piece of gameplay and quests/storyline

Because we haven't got around to it yet. Also, sign your posts next time with ~~~~. Slate Vesper (talk) 22:33, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

AnvilNext

I read through the section, and near the end it talks about the maximum number of soldiers that can be in the battle at once. Well according the the Inside Assassin's Creed III videos, the number is higher but not totally comfirmed. The approximate bit was "Two and a half thousand characters on the screen at any one time" wich was said by Gabe in Episode one during the new engine section. I don't know if anyone wants to update that, but I just figured I would put it out there just in case. 74.196.162.121 05:57, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Edit: They say that AnvilNext can be the most amazing software engine for ACIII yet the two and a half thousand soldiers can be exaggeration, either underestimated or overestimated. However, Ubisoft haven't fully comfirmed it yet. We will have to just wait and see until this great game comes out or Ubisoft officially announces it.Soulja-of-Bats (talk) 22:25, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

New Multiplayer Trailer

Alright, doesn't seem as though anyone has beat me to it. While on YouTube, I across this So I figure... anyone who knows how to add videos... Go ahead and do it. Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 16:19, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

First mention

Should it be mentioned somewhere that first hints at the location being the American Revolution were dropped in Brotherhood? Besides the fact Shaun mentions Phrygian Cap and Masonic eye, which come together on Declaration of Independence, those two symbols are constant on either side of Desmond as he struggles with Juno's control, dropping further hints. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 19:46, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Could be mentioned in the trivia section for the Brotherhood article? Supreme Master Assassin^{O Mentoras} 19:58, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

New Video

I found this new video on youtube, it appears to be a recap of what has gone so far in the series. You can add it to videos of ACIII if you want.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVRRXfc0Kws&feature=player_embedded

ac3

What about desmond and daniel cross. The game should also be very long because they have divided the game into two discs. The time period is also going to be 30 years which is as long as ac, ac2, and brotherhood combined. I have seen every video and am stoked for the game.

Anon, above me ^^. The talk pages are for the discussion about the article, not the game itself. Its written in that little box up top. -- IlMualim ^{Wanna Chat?} 02:07, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Weather

Does snow still exist after you complete the game? I apoligize for any inconvinence, i'm just not sure where to ask questions.

Why no updates?

So far, there have been no updates on AC3 on the wiki at all, despite the fact it came out 5 days ago. DarkSaphire24 (talk) 20:16, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

5 days ago for you maybe. We're keeping the updates sporadic, so the PC people who still wait for the release don't have to avoid spoilers. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 21:26, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Is anyone else having a lot of glitches during gameplay? Maybe it's just because the game has so many stuff, it's bound to have a couple of setbacks. SpiderSnoo (talk) 20:41, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Connor's hood after game's completion

After beating the game, I enjoy free roaming the world and doing side missions, though Connor's hood never gets put up. It bugs me because I enjoy feeling like an assassin, not a brute mohawk mercenary. Is there anyway to fix this?XV DEaD ShOT xV Leave me a message! 19:25, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

I Live in Indonesia and theres an Edition of the game called "Asia Edition" the contents are

A figurine of Connor

The Lost Mayan Ruins & The Ghost of War Missions

The Sharpshooter

And of course the copy of the game

I don't know how to edit the Editions section can someone help me User:LordHighSubtitute/Nemo me impune lacessit 15:34, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

Knives in ACIII

Anyone else notice that ACIII assumes youre using a tomahawk even when you have a knife equiped? In a cinema he uses the short blade weapon to slide down a rope, something that only makes sense with a tomahawk. I happened to be using a knife at that point so he just appeared to be sliding down the rope with the knife blade dug into half of the rope. haha The fighting animations are the same for knives and tomahawks as well so instead of stabbing with them you hack your victom with the knife blade.
