They need a fresh protagonist for the franchise, I don't think I'll be picking this up unless the reviews are insane. Well, Brotherhood got almost the same score as AC2. My only gripe with Brotherhood was the ending felt rushed with the crazy year jumps of Ezio chasing Cesare. What was wrong with the story of Brotherhood? AC2 was about Ezio growing up to be an assassin and trying to avenge his father and brothers. In Brotherhood, Ezio decides to settle down because he believes that his job is done until he an attack on the villa occur. Both stories are similar because you track down Templar by Templar until the final villain with some twist along the way.

Ubisoft only numbers an AC game when they introduce a new ancestor, I dunno why people can't understand that. They've said so many times in any AC related news. | ||

I`d just rather see a new setting, but I dont mind Ubisoft milking their cash cow as long as the games maintain their quality | ||

I'll be interested in seeing how Ubisoft will deal with Ezio's advanced age. That must be a crucial point. | ||

 . Played AC, ACII, and Brotherhood, and I've enjoyed all three so far.I'm really wondering at how his skills will change, if they will diminish, or increase possibly? when he gets older, and just HOW old he will be in Revelations. | ||

This puts him at 40-ish during Brotherhood, so I expect he'll be in his 50s during Revelations. Personally, I feel like it would have been fine to end Ezio's story with ACII, but I suppose he was such a charismatic character and the setting was so well reproduced that they wanted to extend his story arc. Also, Brotherhood was not a good stopping point narrative-wise in any case - it was just too fragmented. I'll be interested in seeing how Ubisoft will deal with Ezio's advanced age. That must be a crucial point. I understand what you're saying, but I thought Brotherhood was a good closure for Ezio. The reasons is Ezio stabilized Italy from the Borgia, strengthened the Assassin order, became the Grand Master, and secured the Apple of Eden and allowing his bloodline to find it down the line. I think it's cool that Ubisoft is taking their time to bring their characters to a proper end from their younger days to the day they are old or death. Altair's story was let abruptly until they made 2 spinoff games (prequel and sequel) on handheld. | ||

i never played ac2/brotherhood because it just looked like more of the same with more equally shallow game mechanics/systems. its such a shame becuase i really feel that the premise for AC is really cool. I just wish the execution wasnt so uninspired. but i guess it's successful enough that they will never feel the need to actually change anything. so sad :\ | ||

The combat is as bad as the 1st one, but there are much more interesting stuff to do and assassinations are more varied and fun. + The sidecontent is varied and fun also. I hope this puts Ezio to rest. He was fun but I think I can't stand him for a 4th game. | ||
