Taking place during the American Revolution, the Assassin's Creed mainline series makes its debut on Nintendo consoles.

Development of Assassin's Creed III for Wii U is underway, according to Ubisoft. However, there is no confirmed release date. The other versions are set for an October 30 release.
The game's debut trailer showed off the new American Revolution-era hero in action in the year 1777. Named Ratohnhaké:ton (or Connor, for simplicity's sake), he is a Native American warrior fighting to protect his land and his people. In more direct terms, he's pro-Americans, and anti-British, as the trailer shows him giving a few British redcoats an axe to the face.
Assassin's Creed III is running on a brand-new engine, dubbed Ubisoft-AnvilNext, which promises better AI, graphical quality, and character models.
This isn't the first time the series has appeared on a Nintendo platform, as there were two spin-offs released on the DS around the release of Assassin's Creed 1 and 2. A 3DS game was planned, but it was cancelled and reworked to become 2011's Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
Game Informer's upcoming cover story is focused on Assassin's Creed III, and it will have more details when it hits newsstands soon.
Okay, the hoody in colonial times looks a bit dumb.

You wouldn't buy it for Wii U even if you owned one and there's a significant feature/graphic bump?
That said, if you missed Assassin's Creed 1-Revelations I'm not sure 3 will be the best place to get onboard. The Assassin's Creed story has gotten pretty needlessly stupid and convoluted by this point. Hopefully since they're bringing in the Nintendo casuals and diehards with this game, Ubisoft will do a better job of making the story accessible than they've done so far.
Yeah, that's been bothering me as well. It worked in Assassin's Creed 1 because it made sense: you use it to blend in with the wandering monks. In the "Ezio Trilogy" (ugh, I hate that phrase), it made sense because it was the Renaissance and people just wore gaudy stuff like that. But I don't see any way they can make that outfit look practical in a Revolutionary War setting.
As for the game, I won't be getting it on Wii U (yeah, I know. big surprise there). There's no reason to.

There's no reason to period, unless you are a fan of repetitive, monotonous gameplay. I've only played the first game and I honestly don't understand what the appeal of it is. There's a few basic things you do in the game and then you repeat them dozens of times, and its all the same stuff. Doing that for the course of one game was enough for me.
We don’t have to guess – we already know. The touch screen will be used for the game’s ‘Eagle Vision’ and will also display a persistent map. Fast-switching weapons will also be handled with the touch screen and there will be an interactive database to browse through. Finally, some puzzles will be implemented, which you’ll have to solve using the touch screen.http://www.nintendo-gamer.net/2012/03/05/first-assassins-creed-3-wii-u-trailer/ (http://www.nintendo-gamer.net/2012/03/05/first-assassins-creed-3-wii-u-trailer/)
I sort of like the Desmond story from what I've played of AssCreed 1 and 2...Yes, and more of that too. One can never have enough AssCreed.
Just to prove that it was not sour grapes at AC being on other platforms: *yawn*
As for a "practical purpose", what a hood does is protect your face and head from the elements. Isn't that practical enough?

For historical accuracy, it should legitimately take 3 minutes for every musket carrying enemy in the game to shoot, miss horribly, reload, then shoot again. I demand realism and more hoods. A minimum of at least 3 at a time.
I always wanted an Assassin's Creed game set in feudal Japan during the Tokugawa Shougunate.
Reload rates were indeed slow, but 3 minutes would be a gross exaggeration.
Here's my impersonation of you, Chozo Ghost.
"Hi, I'm Chozo Ghost. I like to take everything literally. Also, what's sarcasm?"
and put some in and then ram it in with some rod thing and then put the ball in and I guess ram that in as well.
20 seconds seems too fast. The fast reloaders were called the Minute Men after all.

Tenchu games. Acquire and From Software has got you covered. That is unless you really want an open-world level structure.
I was thinking instead of a hood they should have given him a coon skin cap, so then he would be like a Davy Crockett type assassin, which would have been accurate because Davy Crockett was from that era (more or less). But then PETA probably would have got upset and boycotted the game or something like that. If you kill people in a video game that's no big deal, but have the game depict someone wearing fur then that's a "no-no".

Fixed. Sorry...as a country music singer, your grammatical incorrectness for "cowboy" really irked me. You're welcome. :PI was thinking instead of a hood they should have given him a coon skin cap, so then he would be like a Davy Crockett type assassin, which would have been accurate because Davy Crockett was from that era (more or less).

Davvy Crockett was born in 1786, so considering the possible time period of this game Crockett would have been a young child, or not even born yet. Crockett actually fought and died in the Alamo, so it is possible that a future Assassin's Creed game could take place in that location, or even in the wild west of the cowboy days.
As an extra, the game must have Sinbad in it as a cameo. I demand it.
Also, I'd be down for a wild west themed Assassin's Creed. A shotgun totin', knife throwin', saloon hoppin' assassin... yeah, I'm game. :)
This is why. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115875/) :) Loved that movie as a kid. And still do. Hah.As an extra, the game must have Sinbad in it as a cameo. I demand it.
Sinbad? The fictional sailor or the comedian? Either way, may I ask why?
Hmmm... maybe I need to check this game out then. Just didn't really look that interesting to me at the time it released.Also, I'd be down for a wild west themed Assassin's Creed. A shotgun totin', knife throwin', saloon hoppin' assassin... yeah, I'm game. :)
You just described Red Dead Redemption, more or less.
