No tower defense mini-games in Assassin's Creed III
Assassin's Creed III mission director Philippe Bergeron has confirmed that there will be no tower defense in AC III during a video interview with Joystiq. He also discussed other features, saying that it'll feature two distinct types of play: one involving "lot of explosions" which'll be more sequence based, and the other which'll be more "free-flowing" in nature, allowing you to decide your own path. Philippe also said the frontier in AC III will allow players to explore freely in an organic environment. You can watch the entire interview below.
