I'll be very interested in seeing more impressions. I played the original for about 5 hours and got bored but I love the Revolutionary War setting.

I could see myself trying it out again when it's cheaper if the impressions are good.

I subconsciously idealized this game as it was released on a really awesome personal time for me and as it's the only AC game I haven't played since release (a long time ago).

I'm really glad the remaster work went beyond a simple port and hopefully my cherished memories of the game will be kept intact during the inevitable replay.

I forgot this was coming this week until a few days ago. Excited to dig in this weekend. AC3 certainly has flaws, but there's also a lot to like about it, and I'm happy with some of the changes they've made (weapon wheel not being a separate screen!).

And yes, play the homestead missions. They ought to be mandatory.

I am quite looking forward to this despite never finishing the original release. Origins and especially Odyssey have really pulled me back into this franchise. It'll be interesting to give this game a reevaluation.

I hated this game at release, but you know what, it's part of the season pass anyway so I'm going to give it a 2nd shot. Let's go ye old America!

Nice OT! I didn't hate the original. I'd rather replay 3 than go back and do AC2, which is probably my least favorite in the mainline series.

The updates have me intrigued. I imagine I'll eventually get the entire series on one platform, but it would take up a god damn terabyte.

They actually did stuff to this remaster than simply up the resolution.

Love this game.

Can't wait to play it again

The AC3 music theme is actually by far my favorite of the entire franchise.

Good stuff but it is always a challenge of patience to download a Ubi game. Still i am 20/33 gb which means a few hours have left, IF nothing Uplayish happens

This is currently on the lower end of my favorite AC games, interested in seeing if the remaster changes that. It has been a while, and my gaming sensibilities have changed a bit since 2012. Kind of excited to find out.

is there any gameplay for Liberation yet? It's really annoying how little information there is about it. I know i'm like one of the three people in the world that liked but i'd really love to see it getting a similar treatment to AC3.

Signature Edition just shipped. I won't be able to play now but I can't wait to replay one of my favorite Assassin's Creed.

I don't remember, but double assassinations were already in the original game, right?

Need to see some lighting footage from actual players.

The promo vid Ubi first put out was immediately eviscerated here on ERA as just having a "piss filter" and nothing more; that it made the game look less beautiful in the (post)process. I want to see the lighting in action over a ten minute stretch and judge for myself.

Oh right I forgot this was a thing

I'm not sure I can bring myself to get excited but we'll see. Maybe time will have changed my perspective of the game. All I remember is that the original AC3 is why I stopped buying AC games

I am happy just to have an HD physical version of Liberation. Have not played that one before.

Wad there any confirmation at all of the weapon select for AC3 being back on the D pad instead of in menus?

Are they including the multiplayer? I know a lot of people didn't enjoy it, but the multiplayer in 3/4 were really enjoyable and different.

Feels a bit nostalgic knowing this game is almost 7 years old now.
I remember being really hyped for the game because I enjoyed the American Revolution part of history and it was cool to see a big game series like AC explore that setting. Overall I remember being slightly disappointed with it, but I wouldn't mind going back and playing an updated version of the game, maybe it'll change my opinion.

The colors look really good but there's definetly something wrong with the faces. I think ubisoft May have messed up the shading and speculate highlighting of the game though. Everything is way too glossy. For example look at 1:23 in the remastered the man who takes the hat has extremely glossy hair that doesn't change as the light moves over his head. This wasn't a problem in the original and I hope it gets fixed. Also there appears to be no shading/blue between hair and skin like there was in the original. Both shading and specular problems are really giving faces a rcreepy look.

Yikes. Hopefully the day one patch fixes that.

Sadly those are fairly common results when you change lighting systems while keeping the same character models.

The lighting on faces and hair is fucking awful, how did they miss that?

Character models in general just look much better in the OG game.

The lighting in general just doesn't seem better, they stripped the atmosphere out for something different instead of actually improving what was already there.

I'm laughing at the fact the game features "new character models" according to the OT or Ubisoft and they managed to make them look fucking worse than the original. It's like I stepped inside a wax museum.
