Ugh Rome
God damn it, why not visit some interesting and much less explored time periods and empires, such as Assyria, Babylonia, Achaemenid Empire, Far east Asia, etc.

Nice architecture, you get to meet and assassinate Cesar, also you interact with Brutus, Cassius, Pompey, Mark Antony, Cicero, Cato and so on, could be good.

Ah from the studio of Black Flag, Rogue and Unity this time.

Could be good, heavy RPG elements though well it was expected and there's the grinding and padding I guess ha ha.

EDIT: Ah and of course the culmination of everything from the past two games so the cultist system, mercs and dual protagonists plus returning to the memory scenes during assassination of key targets and a push for more RPG elements yeah it does check out for how Ubisoft would be doing it and implementing the feedback and systems from Origins and Odyssey in that regard.

i'm all for rome because i am a roman empire weeb

though hopefully they'll have more realistic sized weapons like in odyssey (though not all of them are) instead of origins with the too long and too massive gladius as well as roman armor




i'm for dropping the modern day setting entirely and just set it as its own thing. modern day was ok with desmond and all that, but once he dropped out, it's basically just a whole load of nothing that just takes you out of the game and ruins the pacing

hell, just drop the whole secret history thing with assassins and templars or whatever since that storyline is too muddled and has gone to shit. just name it assassins creed for brand recognition, but don't bother trying to tie it up with the convoluted ac plot.


i would also like a game in persia during the diadochi wars

or in the eastern roman empire during the 4th crusade

maybe even somewhere in the balkans during the height of ottoman rule. set it in serbia/bosnia/croatia/hungary etc during the 16th century

or around the baltic, maybe poland lithuania under the jagiellon and some trips to tatar kievan rus

i'd like more eastern european settings basically

I feel like we've been in Rome already even though it wasn't precisely set in Rome, with all the games set in Italy/areas similar to Italy.
Makes sense with Origins and Odyssey and I haven't really played either ( got bored real fast ) to care about their story, but I'd have wanted anything remotely new for the series like Japan, Eastern Europe, some kind of original timeline or setting. Antique Rome ? Bah, whatever
And the modern day shit is horrid, but yeah, they're not going to drop it.

Who plays for anything but the period in which these games are set in?

I do... or well I used to. Not specifically for those, of course, but back when the modern sections involved Desmond, in the earlier games, I really liked the combination of the 2 aspects of the series, especially in the first game, in which we really didn't know much about about that whole deal. There was a mystery to it and I liked going through Warren's emails and seeing what happens in the lab throughout the game. I'm also not saying I necessarily liked how these sections were done, even back then, because they could have made them even more interesting and complex, but the idea of Desmond's story was neat to me. Now as the series went on, it got worse and worse for sure... because they weren't even trying, but were still forcing these sections in.

With the whole meta shit about reality and layers they are weaving into Layla's storyline here and here role they do have a chance to go either way though.

For all the side material, books and comics and games and extended lore and nonsense they've taken the series into from the semi-modern day 2012-ish setting to straight out science fiction futuristic dystopia (And settling some major formerly unsolved plot points in the process like the Minerva/Juno conflict.) it will be interesting to see what they pull with Legion here.

I don't expect too much but the way it's set up could hint at a larger reboot and supported in canon from how they're spinning this Isu and the ancients and their story and abilities and what Layla and her device could potentially do.

I don't expect Ubisoft to go full out god-like Layla gives the continuity the finger and breaks reality and resurrects the D man himself but I am interested in what they will pull here though part of it should be answered in Odyssey with the Atlantis trilogy whenever that actually comes out.


EDIT: Essentially the animus Layla somehow built from fuckery and plot and writer desperate to reboot this mess would mean Ubisoft could pull a reboot giving some BS scienci fiction pseudo explanation on how it all works and unravels and is put back together because it can change things properly instead of being stuck in this loop the Isu got messing with though without any good results.

Bunch of meta crap and extra messages and conversations and a lot of guesswork though for the setting yeah visiting BIGGEST MAP EVER, AGAIN! now with 100% Pax Romana and don't forget to pay tribute...in this here online store run by some goofy fucker NPC.


Though I do want to see what they've built. Female legionaire? Well why not maybe be a arena slave or something though I guess after Spartacus Blood and CGI that's no longer as original. Razz


EDIT: AND ORGIES, HAREMS AND DIRTY CHEESE PARTIES IN EVERY PALACE AND TEMPLE.
(And at least a dozen bordellos, no cleaning what actually went on in Rome like they tried in Pompeii.)

Full on Caligula effect or bust! Actually full on Caligula effect and tons of busts!


(Seriously Google? Fuck the hell off with this Alamo crap for images.)

EDIT: What with all the ridiculous outfits and cosmetic shit driving GAAS these days looking like the pimpest motherfucker in Rome kinda makes sense anyway time period and historical paradox aside.
(Need to check where the boy slotted in, they had quite a few emperors and some reigned for a fairly short time so it gets a bit messy and violent and abrupt but they sure had fun! Well at least before they got murdered or otherwise disposed or removed from power.)

I really dislike the animus and all of the modern day scenes. You're in this beautiful world playing as the character you've chosen for a few dozen hours, fully immersed, then you hit some point in the story and you're someone else.


yeah its absolutely awful. Immersion breaking in so many ways, just the idea that your character is not even there in person sucks, you're just in a simulation (sort of). lol. least immersive idea ever for a game (which already is a simulation of sort but i don't want it showed in my face - "YOU'RE NOT THERE.")

I think the out of simulation scenes in the first game were done very well. They connected the past with the present and made the story more mysterious. Was also a relaxing walking around the room after all the assassinations you do in the simulation. I loved how the ending hinted at other stories and mysteries. But after that it only turned downhill. They tried to make it more and more similar to the Animus gameplay with sneaking, killing and even using the same moves and powers. That just makes it pointless. I guess they are preparing the ground for a future game Ubisoft where it will be completely in the present (or future) without any Animus sequences.

I'm not against it, but we already had Rome in AC Brotherhood.
Sure, it was set in the Renaissance, and it would be cool to see the city in its full glory, but I also feel like it's time for something else. Perhaps if they'd move through time faster, somehow, so we could get to see not only Augustus, but also Tiberius, Nero, Claudius, Caligula, amongst others.

I'd like an Assassin's Creed based on the setting where the platforming isn't tied to one single awesome button, where dialogues and characters don't make you want to press 'skip' every time, where the world isn't crafted around rinse and grind, where there are proper physics, meaty combat and methodical stealth, where all the colorful arcade bling-bling is banished, I'd like an Assassin's Creed that doesn't play like Assassin's Creed Sad Laughing

The overhaul that came with Origins brought needed improvements in the combat department and overall structure, though as long as the generic Ubiflabbiness will be there the franchise for me will never make the jump from okay brainless time-waster (at best) to something better and as immersive as such epic historical settings would deserve. Ubi, stop being Ubi for once pls

time for little bit new rumour, this time confirmed by Schreier who pretty much confirmed leakes of last few AssCreeds
Quote:
An unusual teaser in Ubisoft’s loot shooter The Division 2, highlighted weeks after the game’s release, reveals that the next Assassin’s Creed game is all about Vikings. Kotaku can independently confirm the same.

The Division 2 launched on March 15, but it wasn’t until this week that discussion about a possible teaser located within the Potomac Event Center in the game’s version of Washington DC started generating buzz. As first made public by YouTuber JorRaptor, there are numerous posters all over this event center, picturing what appears to be a Norse god or traveler adorned with the word Valhalla.

What’s particularly interesting is that said traveler is holding what appears to be the Apple of Eden, a pivotal piece of technology in Assassin’s Creed lore.



So does this mean that the next Assassin’s Creed, confirmed by Ubisoft to be skipping 2019 and going straight to 2020 (just in time for the expected release of next-gen consoles), is all about Vikings? Well, yes. Yes it does. A few months before this teaser emerged, Kotaku learned from two independent sources familiar with the game that 2020's Assassin’s Creed, code-named Kingdom, does indeed star Vikings. We don’t know much else about the game, but after the phenomenal Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, we’re stoked to see what’s coming.

pretty much in line with was some Ubi concept artists have in their Bios past few months

So basically it will be set in France and Rollo is the bad guy.

It would be boring if it was set in England / Ireland. Weather is shit.

But I'm also hoping they set it in Kievan Rus, or you could be a Varangian veteran and maybe spend a lot of time in Constantinople back when it wasn't shit.
