He's On A Boat: Assassin's Creed III Footage
Assassin's Creed III done released a big pile of video last night, along with four new screenshots. There's a silly CGI trailer that helps no one, but also a great big chunk of in-game footage that shows off the sneaky, jumpy, stabby and animal-hurty ways of a far more rural Assassin, and then some of the ship combat. Click on the pics for bigger versions, and see the trailers below.

And then there's this:
Boats! Fighting! Coo! Journalists hollering like Justin Bieber fans! Claimed to be released on the 31st October this year, the John Walker Principle puts that somewhere around February 18th, 2013.
