Do I have to play AC I and II ?

 

I played AC I and got bored because the missions were repetitive. Din get time to paly AC II, but this game looks amazing.

The overarching plot spans all games, so yes from a story perspective you need to play all games (including Brotherhood and Revelations and even the DLCs).

 

Also you really should have played AC2, it's probably the top contender for "most improved sequel" for this gen.

Assassin’s Creed 3 PC will support DX11, dedicated team working on it, on track for October release :scratchchin:

 

Ubisoft’s creative lead, Alex Hutchinson, has revealed in this year’s Comic-Con that the PC version of Assassin’s Creed 3 will support DX11. Hutchinson said that a dedicated team is working on the PC version and that the game will take advantage of many DX11 features. Hutchinson did not reveal what those features could actually be, but we expect to see tessellation support as this is the highlight of DX11.

Hutchinson also said as Ubisoft’s development team, they can’t do anything about the DRM-thing. This is entirely up to the publisher which is… Ubisoft. Seems ironic that Hutchinson could not give us a straight yes or no about the DRM system of Assassin’s Creed 3 but we expect to see the return of Ubisoft’s controversial online DRM.

Regarding the game’s delay, we were initially confused by Hutchinson’s answer on a question about the PC release date. After a video recap, we can safely say that Hutchinson and Ubisoft’s development team intend to finish the PC version at the same time with the console ones.

Assassin's Creed 3 creative lead Alex Hutchinson said at a recent Ubisoft press event that the series needs to move on from its protracted modern day storyline about aggressively ordinary everyman Desmond Miles.

Hutchinson likened remembering what was going on in Desmond's story as recalling what happened in junior high during college.

"Things that go on too long lack resonance. We're asking people to remember seven years worth of story. Which is like saying you were in junior high and now you're finishing college. And you need to remember what you were doing in junior high," he explained in a report by Polygon.

"I think Desmond needs to end."

For the time being Hutchinson compares Desmond's framing structure to Rod Serling's intros in The Twilight Zone.

"It's more like the Twilight Zone. There's always a guy introducing it and he's there every episode, but each game completes its own story. Assassin's Creed one was Altair's story. Ezio has been and gone. You can engage with these historical stories individually without having to necessarily understand Desmond's story. But yes, we eventually do have to wrap it up."

He also compared the series to Star Trek with each numbered title being an entirely new self-contained spin-off in the same canon. "I always pitched it to the guys on this game to think of it almost like Star Trek. Each game is a season... each big number is a sub-title. We're not changing the universe, but we're being given the reigns to the equivalent of [star Trek:] The Next Generation. Yes, it's the Star Trek universe, and that has certain immutable laws and there's a base kind of tone to it, but within that you can do whatever you want."

Hutchinson explained that Assassin's Creed 3 is as close as one could get to being a new IP without actually being one. He called it "90 per cent a new game," and noted the new protagonist, time period, story, setting and mechanics.
