Connor Actually Kills Non-British People (Not Counting Bears)

So there's a new video promo out for Assassin's Creed 3.  It's a little game from a small independent developer that is really flying under the radar, so I figured I'd throw them a bone.



Anyway, this video shows the new assassin, a half-Brit half-Mohawk gent named Connor slicing things up during the American Revolution, getting down and dirty killing some redcoats and...wait...what is that at 2:29?  He's actually killing colonists.  Honest to freaking god.

Okay, so the developers have been hyping up that Connor is not taking sides in the conflict, but every piece of concept art and every trailer revealed thus far has shown him killing the British.  And wolves and bears.  The true enemies of freedom.

Anyway, even though the majority of this trailer, specifically for AC3's AnvilNext game engine, shows Connor killing those nasty Brits, it's good to finally see that the game won't be quite as one-sided as it has seemed.  It's nice when a developer keeps their promises about gameplay  Good job, Ubisoft.

Then again, it'd also be nice if they kept their promises about the PC release date.  Fuck you, Ubisoft.
