Ubisoft Censors Assassin's Creed III Trailer For North American Audience

Im going to just say its flat out wrong as a practice to censor. Now if they just didn't fit it into the new trailers *shrugs* but if they did it on purpose its very un-American if you ask me.

Actually censorship is very American

Being American is those contradicting statements. Being all of the above is VERY American.

considering that an average american wouldn't know the difference between blue and red coats, censoring it was an exercise in redundancy...

and its not even as if killing American soldiers is that hard to explain (though I speak from a perspective of a History major), in fact I can eplain/justify it in 2 words: Benedict. Arnold. end of controversy.

In fact I want to call it here and now that there will be a sequel, AC2 style, that will take place during the war of 1812. If you were born/raised in US and don't know what I'm talking about, consider yourself a Soviet sleeper agent you damn commie.

That's funny, people were talking about the War of 1812 in the forums in the presidential debate thread.

Yes, I think the promotional material for this game has been pretty condescending to Americans, as if painting the Revolution in anything other than jingoist colours, in a work of fiction no less, will offend our sensibilities. I hope this doesn't carry over into the game, as shamelessly appealing to my sense of patriotism is only going to detract from the experience for me.

You saw what happened with Medal of Honor.

The censorship was completely unnecessary. I ended up watching the trailer on Youtube yesterday and it was the uncensored version and it didn't bother me one bit. It actually adds to the storyline. I don't think I would be as interested in the game if Connor was strictly for the colonies and only fought the British.

Also, why bother censoring something like this? It's the internet, of course both versions are going to be widely available to anyone that bothers to do a simple search. It was a pointless and needless attempt to not piss off the idiots that think it's patriotic to never question things and always agree with status quo. Honestly, I'm actually more offended by the censored version.

I think Ubisoft did this as a wink to the Brits because most are still butt hurt over the war. That's why they including the death of the American soldiers. I'm only half kidding by the way.

The British are still butt hurt about a war that happened over 200 years ago?

You bet!

I think the real question is whether the Assassins would want to see a game trailer censored or if it would be evidence of attempted Templar control?
