Hating a game where you literally know nothing about it, months before it comes out is dumb. You are setting yourself up to hate it. I see a ton of potential in the American Revolution setting. Reading the same article that snippet came from, you also learn that the story line isn't about America = good and Britain = bad. Its still about the Assassins and the Templars.

And just because the new Assassin is part Native American (half Native American, half white dude) doesn't mean that Washington is buddy buddy with the Native Americans in the story. All we know is that Connor and Washington have a relationship of some sort.

Keep an open mind, you have no idea how this game is going to play out. AC1 and AC2 were amazing games. Brotherhood and Revelations were put out to make money more than anything while they worked on AC3. I have high expectations for this game and can't wait for it to come out.


But AC2 made clear, that Washington WAS a Templar.

The backstory of the new Assassin sounds mindbogglingly stupid, but keep in mind that Altair seemed like a great character on paper, but then they completely wrecked the idea in AC1 and after somewhat restoring it in AC2 they ret-conned him to oblivion in Revelations. Ezio, on the other hand, struck me as kind of... interesting? at first, but he ended up working excellently and Im one of the very few people who consider Brotherbood to be the best AC game due in great part to Ezio's character (Revelations was crap, tho, they even ruined the multiplayer, GOD I HATE UBIShvu8aFASF... sidenote). Lets see where they take the premise, it could work. It just happens to sound like something that won't.

Much more importantly is the somewhat bold decision to set a SCreed game in a more modern setting where cute little knives and throwing picklets of Doom dont really make sense anymore. Im sure you're gonna do a lot of upcloseandpersonal action, but the setting really doesnt make a whole lot of immediate sense for the SCreed gameplay. That's pretty cool. It could force the developers to up the game in the same way that AC2 up'd AC1s gameplay and storytelling immensily. Excellent! If the game flops entirely, at least it flops due to them trying something brand new!...

Cuz you are trying something new, right, Ubisoft? You're not just gonna make us run around in camps and cities that are conveniently built to accomodate parkour for the entire game, right?

Assassin's Creed...story?

A mix of:

Metal Gear Solid
Lost
Davinci Code

Is there really a story to ruin there? The setting is always going to be more important than the story, and the American revolution is a very cool setting.

It is kind of like most actions movies. It doesn't matter if the scenes make sense or not. If they want to film someone jumping from a plane, they will find a way to write a plane into the script.

If they want to set AC in the American Revolution, they will find a way to bend and twist the plot into shape. Not that it is very hard to call that jumbled mess a real story.

Well let me explain. For one I'm completely ignorant of the history of Italy, so I guess I jumped the gun by assuming that it was reasonably close to the actual events, at least its core, so sorry about that. Changing the American history is not worse per se, but just this tiny announcement changes it tremendously, and too much, at least in my opinion. If you're going to base a story on actual events instead of complete fiction, in my opinion, you can only screw with it so much. I mean, you have to at the very least follow the general direction of the events that actually occurred.

That being said, ever since AC2 I had predicted that AC3 would happen during the French revolution. I can't help it, it's such a golden opportunity. It's like the game was made to lead up to that from the get go, but they decided that they'd sell more games if they made it about the US.

Sounds like the best video game ever, IMO.

it just sounds like you're upset because you didn't get your own favourite era. I think American Revolution would be a good setting as it offers something different than normal cities in the other games. I personally think French Revolution period would be too much of the same sorry.

Also I like how you added that they're setting it in American revolution because they'll sell more copies. Like you just throw arguments and "facts" out there but you don't back anything up o_O

FYI I like how you argue about history when assassin's creed bends history a pretty significant amount

How can you say that? I believe one of the strongest points of AC was that it was in europe, and gave gamers a sense of ancient history when playing.

Yeah setting the cutoff line at start of America is arbitrary at best and "patriotic" or nationalistic misguided egocentricity at worst. Especially since the french revolution (which he seems fine with) isn't some prehistoric event compared to the founding of the USA it's only a few years apart.

I don't know, I think it's a lot more fitting for multiple reasons. It's not "my own favorite era", really - but if you know anything about the French Revolution, you know how compatible it is.

I think it's a huge, huge missed opportunity really. I don't think it'll be bad.

Lol, that's classic from people who have witnessed a couple arguments on forums but don't know where to stop themselves. This thread is obviously my very-early opinion. I don't need to back up the idea that they chose the American Revolution for sales. Maybe it didn't even occur to them that this would be interesting to Americans though, but that would surprise me. Either way, opinion is a keyword.

FYI I like how you argue about history when assassin's creed bends history a pretty significant amount

Yep, there's magic and stuff. But I think it should keep it reasonable.

Well I think the 3 of us agree with that. He's saying that making a game about the US is a good sales point and will probably manage to score a few sales from people who are particularly interested in the American Revolution setting.
