Assassin's Creed III: "A New Hero And A New Setting"
See Full ImageGee, we were just getting used to the idea of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood this fall.
But we don't mind if Ubisoft wants to continue on with this awesome series, and if they're willing to talk about Assassin's Creed III already, we're listening. Ubisoft Production Manager Jean-Francois Boivin has revealed the first ever details for ACIII and the highlights are these: a new setting and a new hero. This means Ezio's return in Brotherhood will be his final appearance. Boivin said they intend to introduce a new setting and main character "with each numbered title." He goes on to say that they've known for a long time where the franchise is headed and remember, the team said they've had the story in place for Ezio's follow-up for quite some time. That's why there will only be a one-year gap between ACII and Brotherhood and for the record, ACIII will not be ready in 2011. At least, that's what we've heard.
Provided they don't go overboard with the new multiplayer component in the upcoming title in November, we'll likely be plenty happy. This is rapidly becoming one of the most impressive and fulfilling franchises of the generation.

As for ACIII, I'm glad it's coming but I'm also glad it's not next year.

We can only hope that Ubisoft doesn't turn into just another soft-serve Dairy Queen franchise, like Anti-vision's become.

Also, I already knew about it being in a new setting. I'm thinking, Feudal Japan, as mike rlz said, Egypt, as Alienange said, or Middle Ages Europe. I dunno.

Now that's good news.
Brotherhood will have to wait for a price drop, I'm not willing to pay full price for it even though I love ACII very much.

I've asked on several occasions what makes 2 so much better than the first and never heard much of anything other than that there is more variety. Is there anyone who can explain it, because I just don't have the money to spend on a game that looks exactly like the first one, when I didn't enjoy it after the first hour.

It even took my playtime while I was going on a rampage with UC2.

For me it's the immersion into the game world I enjoy wether it be ACII, GTA, UC2, Killzone, Red dead redemption.

Where as in other games there are lots of options and everything is not exactly the same.
In AC every tower you climbed was an exact copy of every other tower. They made 1 tower and then copy/pasted it into the rest of the world. The combat was hitting 1 button repeatedly until the game decided you killed someone.

The climbing never changed much either but the story was very immersive and engaging...I couldn't wait to see what happened next.
AC pulled me in with the story also....did you give it a chance or were you listening to all the lemmings that bashed it?

though it was obvious ezio wont be in AC3.
the whole point of AC2 was to build dezmond up to a strong fighter so they can use him in AC3.
that was the whole point of transporting desmond from absergo and to the new place, that was the whole point of plugging him into the animus 2.0 and play as ezio, just as training.
i think what they mean by new character is not a new character as in one we have never seen before, but new character as in one we have never played before.
the whole point of AC2 was training for desmond, so why would we play as anyone else but desmond in AC3?

On a sidenote, I went to some horribly annoying things the last couple of days...
So I went to work 2 days ago and after I finished my shift at the mac, I waited for one of my friends to finish his shift, so that we could go freerunning after work with another one of ma buds.
Anyways, after that we went to my house, since I had to change and get my freerunning shoes.
So I stationed my 2 friends in front of my PS3 and TV so they could check out Demon's Souls (which ended up being too difficult for a quick check so they decided to play resistance instead).
This is were the annoying starts, as I turn on my monitor, I see a pop-up from some strange(and ultimately fake) anti-virus program I didn't download and didn't install, but still wormed it's way onto my pc, spamming it with warning messages and shutting down everything I tried to open (browsers, taskmanager, AVG...)
After shutting down my internet for safety and deleting some things in the far dark corners of my pc and turning the machine off, I managed to get rid of this fake anti virus and thus the shutting down of everything I opened, which made me happy again, until I found I could not use anything internet related(yes, even after turning it back on). My Playstation's internet still works though and so does my brother's which are(including my pc) all connected to the same router, which means it's not the router but still my pc.
After checking my network connections, it seemed my 1394-connection wasn't working properly (my LAN is, but seemingly every thing related to internet on my pc doesn't work with just LAN)
I did some digging through the only browser on my pc currently working(since one of my friends messed around with the proxy settings, which we can't seem to find on internet explorer), the Opera browser, which I'm using currently as well. Thus it seems the 1394 network card is for firewire, meaning it doesn't have anything to do with my malfunctioning internet... meaning I can't find anything different from before this virus(which also downloaded a whole bunch of trojans and all sorts of other things on my pc, which I did manage to get rid of, at least, I think o.O)
Anyway, maybe one of you guys can help me with this problem, I tried re-installing the 1394 network card, but that didn't seem to help, and it can't find anything from an earlier date to replace it's current settings.
Also, sorry to Ben for being so very off-topic, I just want to resolve this as soon as possible and I tried all over the web, finding nothing that worked, also I don't really want to format my C-drive...

Forget about 1394, that has nothing to do with network, Windows is retarded like that.
Just right click your "My Computer" icon, click on "Manage", Click on "Device Manager", click "Network Adapters" and delete your network adapter. If it asks if you want to delete the drivers for it say "No". Now on the top menu click on "Action" and "scan for hardware changes" that will reinstall your NIC and reset any DNS changes that the virus might have caused.
Now go to "Control Panel and open "Internet Options", go to the "Connectios" tab and click on "LAN Settings" at the bottom. The only option that should be selected is "Automatically detec settings".
While still in "Internet Options", go to the "advanced" tab and all the way to the bottom, click on "Reset" to reset IE8 but be warned, all yous saved passwords and forms will be gone. That need to be done because many infections stay hidden in the temp files in Internet Explorer.
You should have Internet working at this point. Go to www.bleepingcomputer.com and download and run Combofix, them go to www.filehippo.com and download and run Malwarebytes. That should fix it.
Combofix is great at removing rootkit virus that are almost impossible to get rid of.
Please let me know if that does it.
By the way, if your computer is behaving bad while you are trying to fix it, you might want to got into "safe mode with networking" first. Restart the computer and during the post screen, press F8 and chose Safe mode with networking.

I just finished scanning my pc with the malwarebytes program and found another 21 viruses hiding somewhere.
I'm going to use combofix tomorrow, since it seems like quite a time consuming project, not that the malwarebytes scan wasn't, luckily I had Demon's Souls right here with me.
Anyways, ima go to sleep now, since it's 4:00 AM here...
Thanks again Karosso!! :D

Yes, Malwarebytes could take over an hour sometimes two depending on the computer and amount of data but, its a great software to clean those kinds of infections.
Please do Combofix as soon as you can, if you have any rootkit virus it could comeback to hunt you.
By the way, if I were you I would remove AVG and install Avira's Antivir Personal, I find it better than AVG even thou I had used AVG for so many years.
Have a good weekend and be careful when surfing the Internets :D

More like an expansion of ACII, take Dragon Age Origins Awakening as example.

I got my first PLAT in AC2 so we have a 'bond'. LOL
I knew about AC Brotherhood from E3, but just the other day the 'ticker' on Attack of The Show seemed to say they were giving the AC franchise a rest after Brotherhood...?!?!
So which is fact?
