Ubisoft announced that the game is very authentic when it comes to the history and the vocabulary. You can also enjoy a new story trailer with Connor.
Assassin’s Creed 3 lead designer Steven Masters said that the game contains plenty of history and authentic vocabulary.
Masters said that the game isn’t going to be all “America, fuck yeah” because the fight is between the Assassins and Templars. “Connor is kind of an outsider from all cultures here, he’s half Mohawk, half British, so he doesn’t really fit within his own society, he brings this outsider’s perspective to all of these different conflicts. We’re not bombastically saying, you know, ‘go America go!’.
“The Revolution is a coincidence of the story, the real fight is to remove the oppression of the Templars.” The development team did research into “slang and insults from the era” as well as the various accents in the colonies during the period. “We actually studied the census data on the makeup of the civilian population in Boston at the time,” said Masters. “So we knew there were a certain amount of English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Dutch people, and we actually tried to mix all of that into the audio.”
“The question of what the English accent sounded like at that time – it’s really hard to say. We have the same thing in Quebec with the French accent, they say that Quebec French is closer to original French than modern French. But the reality is that both branched at the same time, right? So it’s difficult to say which accent is a more accurate representation. We’ve no way of backing up the assertion”, the developer said.
