Assassin's Creed 3 Locations

[SangRahl]

Three favorites, no order in particular:

- French Revolution
- Elizabethan England
- American Revolutionary War

Each have political quagmires, interesting historical figures, and interesting architectural features to run/jump/climb over. Firearms are still exceptionally primitive compared to American Civil War and onward, so being melee-centric is still very much viable. (Muskets were more often used as clubs to kill than as actual guns.) Ocean travel is prevalent during each, so expanding the gameplay to multiple regions is perfectly viable, if the dev team was able.

Victorian England could be good.

I've really wanted Roman times, Jumping around and climbing all over the collosium (bad spelling sorry) as well as other roman buildings would be awesome.

did you not play AC2 or brotherhood? in brotherhood you can buy the colesium.

Did you mean ancient rome when these buildings were new?


but on topic i do think a england based one would be good. like 1900 ish so you have factories and little kids to hire for stuff.

or maybe even go back further ancient egypt. assassinating pharos or something. killing gods that are actually just people with pieces of eden

 

[Coltaculuss]

Maybe Rome in the time of Rome would be nice. All I know is that I will be very disappointed if they don't use a fresh setting for AC3.

Here's a similar topic I started a few months ago:

i had an idea after i saw something in ACB. out of the animus i saw a message in Shaun's email from William M. In the email he gave the status of other assassin teams in different locations, i think they were Sao Paolo, Moscow, Denver, and Tokyo. I wouldnt be surprised if those are where Desmond might travel outside of the animus, I could be wrong because Desmond has to find the temples (which looked Myan). no clue about AC3's next ancestor or his/her location and time but i'd like to see a girl assassin to play as maybe during WWII but thats just me.

I think England during the civil-war or France during the revolution would be awsome. Both have historical situations wich the AC-team can be creative with.

I gotta say, Ancient Egypt seems like the most tempting for me, tho I'd love to have a spin off game where you play in Feudal Japan. All we need is a CROUCH BUTTON.

 

[captaincabbage]

Big hitch: You need to set it in a place and time that's "swordy". Basing an AC in a world with heaps of guns (Even old western times) means you'd just get shot down or it'd just become a third-person shooter.

I gotta say, a time with pirates would be awesome. Jumping from ship to ship mid-naval battle, leaping through docks and pirate ports and scaling the tropical jungles of the carribbean would be excellent.

I'm a big Creed fan, and I was going over the different possible locations and time periods for Assassin's Creed 3.
What I thought would be a cool idea was playing as Desmond, and free running through a modern city, taking down templars and what not.
Any other ideas?

Probably what it will be and at the end you find out Desmond is being controlled by someone else using an Animus! Mind! Blown!!

If this actually happens, I shall erect a shrine in your honour and worship you as a deity.

Well revolutionary France was a rumored setting for AC2 so they may use that.

Feudal Japan is an option due to subject 16 writing in kanji and

Spoiler

now always "with" Desmond after uncovering the truth

But I'm loving the Victorian Britain idea - no need for those foreign language snippets, interesting environment and Jack the Ripper could be a templar nemesis being controlled by Abstergo to steal your secrets

But I liked the foreign language snippets. D: They were entertaining, especially all their accents.
Still, I do hope for my Victorian England. It's not too far in the future where everyone holding guns, and an assassin running around in that time period would still be cool. Also: Jack the Ripper would be a plot point. Guaranteed.
Feudal Japan doesn't sound too bad. Ubisoft gets to reuse their sword fighting models. And Samurais!

 

[The Hive Mind]

Settings like Japan, India and China are almost certainly too far fetched considering that Desmond's family has to immigrate to America.

As far as that plotline goes it makes much more sense for the next game to be set somewhere in Europe, probably somewhere further north, so I would say the most likely settings are the French Revolution and Industrial London.

Japan especially, that would make no sense at all. I know you all love ninjas, but come off it...

 

[Ashsaver]

I don't know where Assassin's Creed 3 will take place,but i know Assassin Creed 4 will take place........IN SPACE!

Joke aside,I really hope AC3 would take place either in early 20th century Russia (imagine if you're fighting agaisnt Rasputin) or in Ancient China during The 3 Kingdom Era (Imagine if you're working with Zhuge Liang just like how Ezio working with Leonardo)

 

[IBlackKiteI]

Modern day doesn't really work. They'd just shoot you. Same problem with the Victorian.

It would be a new challenge. Fuck, what is wrong with gamers today? Whenever they get the slight waver of a hint that something might be different or new, they immediately say it will be shit.

Anyway, in Victorian era it would take them ages to reload.

People think it would be shit because something quite different from the already released AC games would be very, very hard to properly do.
Something like a modern day Assassins Creed could very likely end up like a much less intricate Splinter Cell with dumbed down free running tacked on.

Personally I'm for anything, but I wouldn't want them to risk making a bad game.

 

[King of Wei]

I'm hoping for a modern day setting, maybe modern Italy to see how the environments changed. I'm just hoping they don't rely on guns too much. They could give Desmond a pistol like a glock 17 to replace the hidden gun since it's concealable or a .357 if they want to keep the 6 shot limit. And maybe give the guards a carbine to replace crossbows from Brotherhood but that's about it.

It would be a little difficult but definitely doable.

 

[No_Remainders]

I wonder how many times a post about the location of AssCreed 3 has been posted on The Escapist...

It's probably almost as high as the number of "The last [blank] is about to [blank]" threads.

OT: Don't care as long as I get to kill people in hilarious fashion.

 

[silversnake4133]

I'd say Japan during the rapid movement to modernization. Either that or China, somewhere in Asia. It would be a nice change of pace, and would show what ninjas really did rather than how Hollywood or Ninja Gaiden portrayed them. And intercutting between Desmond's world and certain tasks he can perform would be awesome too.

To be honest, with the way AC:B turned out, I think that we'll finally have to use Desmond almost exclusively in the story, so it'll probably be in big sprawling cities and inside giant buildings
