Assassin's Creed 3, Why is it Set During The American Revolution?

The game's director has explained why the team wanted to place Assassin's Creed 3's story in the American Revolution. (Assassin's Creed III, PC, PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360)

why not

I personally don't find the idea of it being set in that period too exciting, because those civil war re-enactments, and anything film/TV show that has portrayed the civil war has been incredibly boring in the past. So it will be interesting to see what they can do with it.

What's the Civil War got to do with the American Revolution? And the American Revolution is an extremely exciting storyline: Birth of a new nation; spies; war; etc. You didn't do too well in History class, huh? (And don't try to lie and say you did, because obviously u didn't). Put the game pad down and open a book once in a while.

anything about american history is boring as hell.
my god there are so many better places/history/storys than anything done in america..

Personally I find that the setting has made me MORE interested in this game. While it will not be a day 1 (as past titles have been buggy), it will be something I will pickup.

As for Fucadastates...typical. Enjoy your ability to express your distaste for history and the states. Our forefathers fought and died for you to have the freedom of speech.

at nodoze... so freedom of speech is somthing from the states? not somthing startet way before at "tinget", or from greece,or even from france (you now, the war around the same time, where the humen rights where founden.. and later copied in the american declaretion..)

amEriCA fcK YEAH!!

Going to be another political game instead of just being fun. I will still pick this up though even if it is just to see where Desmond end up.
TopDudeMan  +   381d ago
The reason it's set during the american revolution is because the assassins are desmond's ancestors. It just wouldn't make sense if some of them didn't live in america.

Why not? America has a history FULL of conspiracy theories!!!

I've always wanted an Assassin's Creed game set in India, Japan or Egypt, but so long as the setting is interesting I'm happy. The American Revolution is a great setting, so I'm not disappointed in the slightest.

seanpitt23  +   381d ago
Because that setting is awesome!!
sriki007  +   381d ago
as long as this series does not bring in automatic guns and stuff. It should be fine.
nik666uk  +   381d ago
They should rename it 'Assassins CREAM' it's been milked that much!!
dorron  +   381d ago
Their making it during civil war because it was already planned since AC II...

There are lots of references to it, as there were lots of references to the ottoman empire.

I believe they have AC's script already fully written from start to the end.

Revolution not civil war, do this many people really not know the difference?
Nodoze  +   381d ago
NEWS FLASH

The civil war and the American Revolution are NOT the same thing. Not by a long shot.

It is apparent that the Rockefeller backed American education system has failed you.

Read a book once in awhile. It is amazing what you can learn.
dorron  +   381d ago
News for you all. I'm not from the USA. Do you know anything from Basque Country's history? No? Well, I could tell you to read a book once in a while too...

Well we aren't talking about Basque, now are we?.....

Hmmm I wonder how many interesting stories could be made from Basque....

Probably..... zero.
dorron  +   380d ago
Keep wondering...as you don't know anything from my country.

And the discussion with nodoze comes from him thinking everybody should be experts in american history as if they were the ass of the world. That's pretentious...well, in fact they've always been (calling themselves americans, when USA is only a part of america, as if they were the only ones living there).

Because its the birth place of the greatest country in the world.
fucadastates  +   381d ago
what? america.. are you troling ;)
ethan  +   380d ago
While I'll admit the United States has lost part of the greatness it once had, there is still nowhere else I would ever call home. Just curious...but what country would you say is the greatest then?
fucadastates  +   379d ago
well i would say the northen europe contries. norway, denmark and sweden.
contries where even the weak get free healthcare, money if not in job (from the state, more than minum wage in america even), free (highranking) schoolsystem (thats payed for, by the state - you get money from the school/state/SU, not paying to go to school). the top contries in the yearly "happiest people on earth" studies. no religons politcal controll (like christian undertones in amercia). and so on.
its a subject thing of corse. but america, a place most of the world agrees is way of (the way you take care of the weak, the funny laws you make - some are great youtube hits).

a stupid debat. the most important thing - if you are happy living there.. then thats that.
