Continuing our coverage post-show, today we have a video interview and transcript with Assassin's Creed III lead writer, Matt Turner, talking about the genesis of the American Revolution setting, history versus fiction, the game's renewed crowd system, emergent gameplay, and my personal favourite, nuggets about the newly unveiled naval combat.

"So when Connor gets his boat -- which is a big moment, I’m not going to spoil it -- he then has access to it; it’s his boat that he can go and use whenever he wants," Matt told us. "On top of that, there’ll be major story briefs that happen on the boat. For instance, we’ll experience the Battle of Chesapeake, so Connor will be in there on his ship.

"But there’s also more systemic exploration with the naval [component], it’s all up and down the Eastern Seaboard," he added. "You can go around the Caribbean, up to the Gulf of Saint Laurence, and sail ye’ boat."
