If the actual trailer is anything like this, I will shut the fuck up about anything negative I have to say until the game actually comes out.

All I can say is they probably should have dropped their original "trilogy" aspirations even further (since they went ahead and made two sequels to the "second" game of the trilogy, after all), and covered some of the space between the Italian Reniassance and the freaking American Revolution. I'd say there was room for at least two more games in there somewhere (hopefully one involving pirates).

BUT that said this looks pretty cool. And yes, I'd say it is original to set a game during the Revolutionary War, even if you find it "western-centric". It is more original to set a game during that period than the medieval period--American nerds love knights and shit.

Only hardcore niche nerds love blunderbusses and bayonet charges. Because they realize how fucking AWESOME those are.

EDIT: Also this dude should be wearing a hat of some kind, c'mon. He's just going to stick out at this point. Maybe there are some more subtleties about the outfit I'm not picking up on but even the Reniassance Assassin outfit kind of stuck out. This is really non-stealthy.

And I don't even really like them that much.

That's a Templar.

I know AC1 was awhile ago, but. . .

Al Mualim was the leader of the Assassins, Karesh.

Yeaah.
He was also a Templar.
As I understand it he actually started out a decent person and only went nuts after becoming a Templar.

And he was a Templar.

The whole point of the game was Al Mualim double crossed the Templars to get his hands on the Apple, and then he had Altair hunt down his conspirators so the truth wouldn't get back to the order. But Altair didn't just keep his head down and do his job, he asked questions and investigated and eventually through his travels discovered the deception, and slew Al Mualim, recovering the Apple and becoming the Mentor in his place.

I'm actually rather excited for this game, it's a new direction for the series and FINALLY we're moving the actual fucking plot forward.

EDIT: 1191 posts... talking about AC1... coincidence? I THINK NOT.

So, in betraying the Templars, he solidified the continued life of the order that is their greatest enemy. Albeit accidentally.

Stupidly evil.
