Assassins Creed 3

Today saw the release of the "Reveal trailer" for Assassins Creed 3 and if you have been living under a rock and haven't seen the trailer. It's here:

It basically shows our hooded hero killing British guys before looking at the American Revolutionary War from a tree. From the trailer we are basically shown the setting, character, and some of skills (like shooting a guy in the face with his own gun... but in a cool way.)

Some of the features we have been told already include:  

• The main characters name is Connor / Ratohnhake:ton a mixed race fellow with an English dad and a Native American mum.
• Connor can climb trees. 
• hunting is now a key way to recover resources.
•  Winter fighting puts soldiers at a disadvantage due to ice. So I think there may be a form of season cycle or maybe just changes as the game progresses.
• Gear is upgradable 
• The story will be deeper than 'Good guys, bad guys' with morality involved.
• Connor is smarter than his ancestors and can therefore can dual wield weapons!
• The use of the new Anvil system will allow a couple of thousand people on screen at once.
• For those worrying, Connor does have some form of access to a hidden blade

Finally and the most important part of the game. THERE IS NO TOWER DEFENCE!


Has this game been rushed out with AC: Revelations still doing ok? Or is it time to close the 'Trilogy' (even though this is the fifth game)
