[QUOTE="peterw007"]

Since 2007 there has been 8 Assassin's Creed games with a 9th one on the way.

1. 2007 - Assassin's Creed

2. 2008 - Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles

3. 2009 - Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines

4. 2009 - Assassin's Creed II

5. 2009 - Assassin's Creed II: Discovery

6. 2010 - Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy

7. 2010 - Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

8. 2011 - Assassin's Creed: Revelations

9. 2012 - Assassin's Creed III

-

Considering how much this franchise has been milked in the past 5 years, is there anyone who is truly hyped up for yet another Assassin's Creed game?

FPSfan1985

SW Rule number 43 it's only milking if the name of the game is Call of Duty.

Where do people say it's not milking ?

Still don't get why everyone wanted French Revoltuion in the first place. All the weirdos freaking out when that fan image of a french setting popped out last year then when it was revealed it was fake everyone went silent.

And what is so boring about America? Forests, deserts, mountains, canyons, tropical lands.

And I hate all of those short buildings.

Those buildings are soooooooooo short!

And does everyone forget about the damn Kensington Runestone and the many theories that Templars brought the Holy Grail to America before the initial settlers.

There's no way you can be a full-blooded Native American and still related to the assassins though, right?

No. It's possible to be a full-blooded Native American and also one of Desmond's ancestors. You would either have to mate with one of Ezio's descendants at some point, or one of your ancestors would. It's not impossible, though.

Can't you join? Didn't Ezio recruit people in Brotherhood, have't played Rev yet so IDK if anything happens there.

Yeah. I'm really hoping the protagonist is a full-blooded native of a tribe allied with the rebels. It could make for a pretty good story.

I'm highly looking forward to this game, like all core Assassain Creed games. I don't consider handheld games even part of the cannon...so whatever.

The first Assassin's Creed consisted of stone huts with the occasional tower.

I think the setting will be fine.

I lost all interest after the first game. I can't get into the fell for the enviorments. The severely screwed up blending. Blending in the first games was Key and easy to do and was actually USEFUL. The story didn't turn into a random mess of BS. It was better designed, and personally, the climbing was better. Better plot. The combat is getting worse every freaking entry. Your Counter attack is getting WORSE every DAMN entry. Countering is almost completely useless and seems to depend on dice rolls now. Clunky controls. Unbalanced AI. Does not auto detect if you can jump or grab on to something after jumping. Some times you just jump into thin air and hit the ground and get injured. Or die, or jump onto someone near a guard or the guards. Ezio is a terrible character. The Final Boss fights are getting worse. Etc. I honestly, can not see, how anybody, even thinks this series is improving.

I hated the first and couldn't play it after a couple hours. It was repeative at best. AC2 is one of the best games this gen, but *gasp* this OPINION of course.

I was hoping for the French Revolution, but that's what happens when you waste 3 games all in Italy.

Still psyched! Assassin's Creed is great, this game will be awesome regardless. I just hope that you get to go to Europe a little bit.

So this guy couldn't have descendants that married with one of ezio's descendants? You don't have to be blood related to have a baby.

If we really were to go down that route then Desmond should be able to jump into anyone and walk around as them. I'm just using the canon that the franchise have set up so far.

No, heck,most of this is fact. WTF happened with Blending? THe combat is like playing Yahtzee. Roll the Dice. THere were so many times I clearly countered correctly and I still got blocked. The characters are harder to climb and manuever. Especially in comabat. he Auto Weapon draw and focus on enemy is insane. Especially if you want to run, which was EASIER in the first. The AI is cheap azz. The Jumping and the Climbing are horrible. Even worse when you're being CHASED. Not to mention they copy a lot of the building in the many cities of the other games and just freaking recolor them. That's all they pretty much did with AC2. Even Venice, although it had a few differences, but outside it was all generic. Mostly because Venice was the main area of the game and the rest were filler.

I like this new setting because frankly I'm tired of Europe and Asia, and :lol: at the weebos still begging for a Japanese setting.

Rockman999

But being in japan and a ninja is so original!!

:roll:

I welcome the American Revolution as a setting. It's really not used all that much.

I'm not sure what you are talking about here. It is entirely possible to play a full blood Native American that either mates with one of Ezio's descendants or has a child/grandchild etc. that mates with one of Ezio's descendants. The protagonist of this game would fit Desmond's bloodline just fine in that scenario.

Well, they have to make him an Assassin somehow. it's pretty easy to just have have him be half native American or something.

It would be just as easy to make him a full one too. As long as he fits into Desmonds bloodline he could be from the underground isle of chixuabfddjohoho and it wouldn't matter.

If they go the route that the Free Masons were networked with assassin's in Europe, it would be pretty easy to have the protagonist be a member of a tribe that is allied with rebels and works closely with General Washington and the free masons. There could be missions where you assassinate Indians from tribes allied to the British to take their place in important meetings, etc. It would be pretty cool.

Colonial America was pretty much just the east coast, though. I'm pumped, but if you are expecting deserts and canyons, you probably will be disappointed.

Those are the parts that's been awful though. The core of the games have always been traversing a city and blending in into the environment. They could pull a twist that you are on the front-line as a guerrilla soldier hiding in the wild to kill whoever you need to kill. But if that was the case it wouldn't make sense to jump to any city left and right.

This could be an interesting change-up for the franchise but it could also be the most boring and cliched one yet.

The only way this game could be cool was if the founding fathers was the templars. I really don't see how the story could work any other way looking at how Demonds world is.

I mean, why would the free masons by in league with the assassins?

Great Britain was a colonial power who subjugated people on every continent of the world. They seem to have much more in common with the templars than a group of people who just didn't want to be a part of that empire.

While this is true, even for France and Holland at the time this wouldn't match with the story so far. The British Empire was crushed by internal conflicts, how could they somehow take over the world like the Templars have in Desmonds time.

I'm not saying that every American leader has to be Templar. Key people need to be though for the story to make sense. We have already seen George Washington holding an Apple of Eden and passing it on for every new leader. It's pretty clear that he was portaid as a Templar in previous games.

It would make total sense in the story that's basically based on the idea that our known history is false and altered by the Templars.

Every Assassin's Creed had a beautiful and amazing trailer, so let's hope this one to follow the rules.

That's true. I had forgotten about Washington holding the apple. The Assassin's also have some of the pieces of Eden, though. I just think it would take way too much Templar foresight to decide to lead a new nation in a revolution against Britain and expect that new nation to become a world power. Ideally, the game wouldn't be black and white. There would be some Templars on both sides, but I think their agenda would favor imperialism.

I lost all interest after the first game. I can't get into the fell for the enviorments.

The severely screwed up blending. Blending in the first games was Key and easy to do and was actually USEFUL. But there were only a few spots you could do it. Being able to go into any crowd opens up the possibilities by quite a large margin.

The story didn't turn into a random mess of BS. The overrall story is still on track, and has yet to implode.

It was better designed,Not really. There were a huge amount of questionable design choices that really hindered the gameplay.and personally, the climbing was better. This I can agree with.

Better plot. Considering that interesting things actually happen in the later games, I certainly can't agree here. Ezio following in his father's footsteps to seek revenge on the Templar mastermind behind his family's murder is a much better plot than an angry old man forcing Altair to start from scratch.

The combat is getting worse every freaking entry. I understand how one might feels this way. AC2 added variety to AC1's clucky and dull combat. ACB sped it up so that you weren't standing around waiting to be attacked. And ACR made it a tad more difficult, which is a welcome change.Your Counter attack is getting WORSE every DAMN entry.

Countering is almost completely useless and seems to depend on dice rolls now. Depends on the weapon. Countering with the hidden blade is more difficult than with other weapons.

Clunky controls. Actually, ACR made the controls a lot better than the previous games. They still might be clucnky by your definition though, since I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

Unbalanced AI. True, but it's no worse than the first game.

Does not auto detect if you can jump or grab on to something after jumping. Yes it does...

Some times you just jump into thin air and hit the ground and get injured. Or die, or jump onto someone near a guard or the guards. Glitches. Most games have them.

Ezio is a terrible character. Compared to Altair? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one!

The Final Boss fights are getting worse. They one in Brotherhood was pretty crap, but the others were acceptable.

Etc.

I honestly, can not see, how anybody, even thinks this series is improving.Another48hours

1.You could bland at any time any where. Without poor AI destabilizing it so you can be seen all the time. 2.Opinion 3.Have you played AC1? 4. The combat is broken. Damage is dice rolled, countering is dice rolled, hit detection gets worse, auto targeting is getting worse AND annoying, etc. 5. All the weapons the countering is broken. It's dice rolled. Even if you SEE that you did it rght, the enemy will randomly block it out of nowhere. Not to mention some can just cut through it. 6. Clunky they are. 7.No it is worse. Now they are trying to get the AI to do stuff and failing to do that. Then on top of that, unfair advantages in combat as decribed. 8. Not it doesn't. Well, barely, it gets worse time after time. Especially on roof tops. Or areas where you have to hop on multiple platforms, have to hop sidewyas, or have to jump platforms against a wall. You have a habit of just forgetting there's a point where you can jump to and jump off into space. And missing your targe falling in water, missing your target falling and dying, missing your target, landing on people/guards, missing you target, falling all the way back down etc. 9. These are not glitches, if they are they haven't fixed them since the 2ND DAMN GAME. 10. Generic character with a generic plot with one gimmick added to it (You're an Assain now) is better than a slightly dull, but more serious and believable character who questions the authority, slays innocents, then kills the man who told him so> Or would you rather have generic, :MY FATHER ETC. WAS KILLED! I WILL CAUSE VENGEANCE! THE SAME WAY YOU KILL PEOPLE DURING THE WHOLE GAME! BY SNEAKING UP AND ASSASSINATING WITH NO REAL BOSS FIGHTS! ESPECIALLY THE LAST ONE!" Naw thanks. 11. No they were not. Not at all. The only real BOSS FIGHT, especially FINAL BOSS fight, is the one in the first game. All the other ones are uninspired.

Assassin's Creed is made in Canada.

What? Oh crap it is. I didn't consider it could be in Quebec (all the devs speak French so I assumed France is where it was made).

Typical American way of thinking, speak french? oh they must be from France...and it's not people who live in Europe who think it's a bad setting because it will glorify America, its the fact that America had no Architectural structure back then considering what a huge part of the game is beyond the story told.

Really now? I'm sorry I saw someone speak french and didn't immedietly think, "Quebec speaks French too" :| BTW, I put up the issue because I saw a few comments back about the story being pro-American

Have you ever played an AC game?

PurpleMan5000

Yes, and I was referring to how people were saying america was a broing place, I gave them the different terrain, you know assassins creed isn't ALL about buildings you know, you can ride horses through canyons in some of the games. Have you ever played an AC game?

Colonial America was pretty much just the east coast, though. I'm pumped, but if you are expecting deserts and canyons, you probably will be disappointed.

I was just trying to prove the "America is boring" thing false. If they don't use those areas then the game will be just as "boring setting" as the rest of the series. Just trying to rpove a point.

Silly typical American. You are all stupid because you don't know everything about every country because you are American.

There was someone in OT from Australia (wont say name) who thought Washington D.C. was in Washington. Nobody said "silly, Australian", they said that it wasn't in any state and was cool about it because they realized s/he wasn't American. They didn't pounce and have some nonsensical anti-American tone like all people in this board seems to have.

Still don't get why everyone wanted French Revoltuion in the first place. All the weirdos freaking out when that fan image of a french setting popped out last year then when it was revealed it was fake everyone went silent.

And what is so boring about America? Forests, deserts, mountains, canyons, tropical lands.

And I hate all of those short buildings.

Those buildings are soooooooooo short!

And does everyone forget about the damn Kensington Runestone and the many theories that Templars brought the Holy Grail to America before the initial settlers.

It's been a while since I've even seen a game in this setting so I'm definitely going to keep tabs on this one, but I'm not sure if I'll get it considering how I lost interest in the series after the 2nd one. We'll see how many improvement they make.

To be extremely frank, I was fine with the box art in the other thread, the other image though? A bloodied Assassin with a flag behind his back? I gotta be frank--"America F*** Yeah!" Did come to mind. I mean really, did you see this kind of reception on the other games when it came to the other nations involved? This reaches a level of predictability and silliness even.

Anyway, even if I´m a bit dissatisfied, I far prefer this over another spin off in the series--so I welcome a new setting!

That said, let´s try not to romanticize this thing--that´s the idea that I´m already getting from that image. Let´s try and have something a bit more interesting than a speech about freedom every 15 minutes, and an extremely simplistic view towards the revolution. I still associate the series with Religion after all, and they can make very interesting things with the numerous native american tribes and their place in the Revolutionary War. Let´s hope they deliver.
