Assassin’s Creed III PC release date locked in

Ubisoft has finally come clean with a solid release date for Assassin’s Creed III on PC – November 20 in the US, and November 23 elsewhere. Although the console versions have been confirmed for late October for some time now, until recently the publisher gave a vague “before the end of the year” release window for the PC version; Ubisoft has developed a bit of a reputation for pushing back PC releases so in that context just under a month’s delay from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release could be considered quite a good result. The latest entry in the series takes closes the current story arc led by meta-protagonist Desmond, and takes players to the American Revolution. It’s got a whole grab bag of new features like forest traversal and naval battles along with new and interesting ways to stab people.

Need to polish up on their DRM?
As a bonus it will probably require Ubisofts uPlay which is an alternative to Steam, Origin, Games for Windows live!, Gamestop/Impulse, GOG, Desura, Gamersgate, Direct2Drive. But unlike the others it’s incredibly bad, small selection of games, buggy and bloated and all round very horrible. (Like we need another digital distribution platform anyway.)
I probably won’t get the game, was never a fan of the others, the first Assassins creed basically put me to sleep after the 900th high-jump into a bale of hay.
I hear this game is going to feature Ubisoft’s next iteration of its infamous DRM. The main change now is that you’ll be required to have a webcam installed and pointing at the player while running the game – it will use facial recognition to know who’s playing based off of a photo you must register at Ubisoft’s site. If it detects an unregistered player, or if it detects another person in the background looking at your screen for longer than 5 seconds, the game will consider itself pirated or being shown to more people than it was purchased for.
At this point, your computer will explode, the police will be informed and you cat will be executed.
