Assassin’s Creed 3 Launch Trailer Kills British (and Historical Accuracy)

I think the reason I sometimes get upset at Assassin’s Creed 3 messing with the American War for Independence is that America has precious little history to speak of as it is, so it just seems like a shame to go tinkering with it. Never mind; I think Ubisoft would have been pushing their luck to get another game out of European history, at least one with factions easily identifiable as “good” or “evil”.
After the let-down that was Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, I’m less enthused about this new game than I have been for previous entries in the series. That said, If it means I can get my hands on more of the excellent multiplayer, I’m all for it.
Anyway, the final launch trailer for Assassin’s Creed 3 has just been released. It teases a little more of protagonist Connor’s origins, and a tiny bit of how he joins the Assassin Order. You’ll also get a glimpse at Connor interacting with history in a non-canonical way, meeting a certain Mr. George Washington.
Assassin’s Creed 3 is coming to PC, Playstation3, and Xbox 360 on October 30th, which means it should be on the shelves by the time you read this.

You’re just bitter cause you’re the bad guy.
Why you got to come at me like that, bro?
And Washington was at both of the failed assaults on the French fort. Additionally, he was just as bad of a general as they portray him.
It’s not the canon they screw up, it’s the constant and unrepentant sequencing errors that break the world.
