Also, someone pointed out that the Founding Fathers were Templars. Wouldn't this guy be fighting against them?

Were they all Templars? I recall ACII having historical figures on both sides of the conflict.

Alternately, it might play into the “Templars have rewritten history in their favor” theme that showed up in ACII.

Keep in mind it's going to be a F2P MMO with no console release :( it was supposed to be coming out on PC and 360 but Piranha Games insisted that it be on both HD consoles and since MS owns MW well...

I just hope it lives up to this trailer...

Speaking of mechs...

Speaking of mechs....Buy Iron Brigade, you fucking pansies.

Well

There's rumours it'll be on Steam soon. We'll see then.

I mean the fucking pansies who have a 360.

I'll get it the next time I get MS points, it looks really fun.

Finally. Someone with some sense.

It does sound good. I'll give the demo a try.

The demo is a lot of fun, but what you can't get from it is how awesome survival mode is, and how great it is to play the game with a team. The customization, and options are fucking deep. You'll be agonizing over what weapons and emplacements to bring with you.

I'd buy it.

Also, Journey looks incredible.

I guess it was too much to hope for that he'd be on the side of the redcoats?

I think the main character is a native American.

That was my first thought. I really really hope I'm wrong.

You can find out here! Loads of new info about the gameplay, the setting and the story.

Urgh

Why do Americans keep doing this

Why do you hope that?

Not made by Americans.

It didn't occur to me that he would be a native even when I saw his weapons. I assumed he had them because they are silent and efficient, as opposed to the readily available alternatives.

Looks interesting, but they keep talking about constantly moving? I thought assassins were all about stealth and subtlety, not legging it everywhere.

Ubisoft isn't an American company.

Do Canadians also suffer from fourth world guilt or do they just pretend their native population doesn't exist? I've heard conflicting things.

I don't know. We would have to ask Mac.

Mac?

He doesn't look very native to me.

his father is english, supposedly.

He needs to get out of those 15th century threads then. =D

Are we talking about Mac or the hashashin?

Ehh, I never liked the Assassins Creed games... don't think I'll bother with this one.

Somewhere in between. The Federal Government largely doesn't give a shit about them since they really have nothing to offer that would benefit the country and are a minority dwarfed by Indians and Asians.
A lot of Canadians ignorantly think that they're still a bunch of noble, inspiring, Eagle-on-a-sunset dopes instead of eagerly-on-dope-before-sunrise lazy shits. Personally, neither me nor anyone I know feels any guilt, partially because it's not like my Great Grandparents were actually in the country when we were colonizing and partially because, living within a few Kilometres of a reserve, I can safely say the majority are a bunch of unstrustworthy, embittered cunts whom either whine about everything or just act white.

However, the game itself looks kinda westernly and half-natives are always a neat staple in westerns so I'm guessing that's where it comes from.
