The combat system has been rebuilt from the ground up for Assassin’s Creed 3

10 Comments

Alexander Hutchinson, the creative director at Ubisoft Montreal has confirmed that for Assassin’s Creed 3, they “rebuilt the combat system from the ground up”, and:

Everything from the player strategy, to enemy types, to animations and camera implementation is new. Connor’s combat system is based around a two handed fighting style, so he uses either tomahawk and knife, assassin’s blade and knife, as well as many other combinations.

There’s also talk of the redesigned health system. So, “instead of having health units and needing to heal after combat, you now have a regenerating health system which means you can’t regain health during combat – you need to escape and rest. This exponentially increases the challenge.”

    Boosh!

  • the psvita is better

    i dont know about you guys, but out of the third party games coming out for the wii u that we know of
    i think assassins creed is one of the least interesting
    not because is bad, but because they seem to want to release one every year

      Except this game’s been in development for 3 years, is being made by the main series team, runs on a brand new apparently comparable to next gen engine and as we can see here has completely rebuilt combat system. I’m personally very excited for it and I a lot of the blog is too.

      it’s not going to be boring at all. we will finaly see an end to the whole desmond story. and even tough i had to miss out on revelations (i played 2 and brotherhood (they were for mac)) i want to know where the story goes now

      can anyone brief me in short what happned from 1 to the end of revelations? i dont really get the story i played all the games till ending but it doesnt seem to add up.

      oh and my fantasy about the story is that they chase after an artifact that is rumored to bring back the dead so he can bring back the dead chick he killed and live happily ever after ;p lol

    Too Bad Ubisoft is getting suied over this franchise

    It doesn’t sound like it increases the difficulty too much, I mean it sounds like if you’re not doing too good you can just run and find cover in the woods until you’re okay.

      well if you have ever played AC you could do that anyway just climb on a roof and keep running you’ll lose ‘m if your good at freerunning

  • LaLaLa

    • mkdhdh

      this game isnt unpopular? but yeah i played AC2 and still play brotherhood on my mac and like em alot so i’m kinda assassins fanboy. but people on here are mostly new to the franchise and don’t really know what to think of it and thats probably why
