Assassins Creed 3 set in America? No thanks.

French Revolution seems to be the likely place for this game to head.

I don't think I could listen to 40 hours of French accents.

I don't think I could listen to 40 hours of U.S. accents.

True That mate.

I couldn't listen to 40 hours of *bad* French accents. American accents seem less likely to get completely ballsed up at least.

And I'm still holding out hope (vainly, deep down I know) of a setting in Ancient Rome or Greece. Actually the whole ancient Mediterranean could be pretty interesting.

Yeah that would work, it'd be cool to fight spartan Hoplites. How cool would a Trojan war thing bee?!

I'd like to see the trilogy end in a modern day Europe or something. I don't want it to turn into a game that has like 6 sequels and after the second or third they stop coming up with new ideas.

This. Besides, weren`t they supposed to look for temples? If those temples only exist in one country, the game wouldn`t be very much like an end, would it? If I had to guess, it will begin with Shaun telling them about the French revolution (That was the only place the two symbols met weren`t it?) And it will start from there. Looking for it in that time and place, then they will find the first temple in real time and there is another clue or something like that. At least, I had the impression of this when finishing AC2 and it didn`t change after brotherhood. Besides, I wan`t to play a little more as Desmond, since he is "Main" main character.

Don't know much of American history (not being American is my excuse, what's yours?) but why not American Revolution.... as the English! I don't think that's been done.

 

[MrJoyless]

why wouldnt they

I'm just reading up on some rumors on the possible setting of AC3. And it seems there's a lot of speculation emerging from Shaun Hastings last words in the game as being a possible reference to Civil War era America.

I'm not trying to appear critical but if the next game is set in America, as opposed to the locales in the other games, I might just cry.

why wouldnt they advance the game a bit less and go to say... Napoleonic War era Paris or Revolutionary War era London something similar before full on repeater rifles etc (i dont know how they are going to pull that off in whatever AC repeating rifles replace muzzle loaders and swords) but still a step forward in time

 

[Frotality]

if its anything other than the freaking present/future/desmond-time then ill know that AS has finally become an IN SPACE retelling of itself; theyre just gonna keep having the same game in different settings and calling it new. seeing as theyve already done the same game in the SAME setting with brotherhood, i definitely wouldnt count that theory out.

a present settings presents them with the oppurtunity to create their own cyber-metropolis cities ripe for free running and all kinds of high-tech spins and additions to the assassin arsenal. civil-war era america wasnt exactly known for its sprawling cluttered cities, nor its vague historical texts ripe for conspiracy theories. anything other than finally moving on to the present day is going to be redundant, even if it is done well.

That would actually make a degree of sense as Washington had a piece of eden, and may have been a templar.

 

[Nouw]

Civil War America would bring out all the fascinated Dads xD.

Hmmm... neutral response.

 

[AMMO Kid]

I'm sure they would find a way to make it work...

 

[captaincabbage]

....whats wrong with Civil War era-America? It was a pretty tumultuous time, in both politics and general violence, plus the setting isn't really even that much more high tech than AC2. You still have horses, mediocre guns (but the shift has started, so maybe instead of an arm gun we get a hold-out revolver?)

Plus, you know, Lincoln. One of the most famous assassinations in the world. Pretty big deal.

lol having ANYTHING to do with the Lincoln assassination would just rock my socks.

OT: I dunno, civil war era America would be pretty cool, but there's not exactly enough grounds for them to continue the excellent swordfighting gameplay mechanics they've had working for a while now.
I'd hate to see them throw out swordfighting and for AC3 to just be another third person shooter.

Personally, I'd love to see a game set in Egypt, like that concept art teased earlier this year. That would really rock some serious tits.

Of course, I'm always hoping for a feudal Japanese spin off ^^

Well, they still used sabers and bayonets... granted, every guard you fight would have a gun that doubles as a spear, so it might be a bit more difficult to pull off some escapes, especially since Civil War america was... fields. lots of fields

yeah. It's got some potential, it's just not got enough to warrant an entire game. Not like the potential other eras have.

So then you, as the player, know you're going to fail. That's a narrative form you don't see every day. And it's a great time period because of all the historical figures up and about. And similar to AC2, you could start off young in England somewhere (likely to be London) and as you grow older or skip through memories, you go to America and maybe even early Canada (taking out the French so the English can focus on the Americans).

 

[robodukky]

I wonder what they would name the protagonist in AC3 if it were set in America (not Desmond, the guy played in the Animus). Maybe, Eric D'Arthurberg?

Must be tough being a gamer then.

May I recommend Metro 2033... great, atmospheric shooter and they all speak Russian or at least English with a Russian accent. You can pick which.

Other than that, hmmm... Fable, The Witcher, Dragon Age (kind of)... shit I can't think of any more recent ones.

So, when people agree with you, it automatically means you contributed something? No. It means you, your second account, your third account and your fourth account are all not contributing anything. And why not say how many people have said you're a troll? Afraid it will outnumber your accounts?

Buddy, I don't know who you think I am, but I suppose I should be flatterred that you think so much of me that I'm going to some sort of effort here.

Also, yes, yes it does. Because when people agree with you, generally it means you've expressed an opinion that all the other people who are also contributing share, thus validating it.

Also, so far, it's been just you. Most people tend to be smarter than that.

So, logically, if people were to agree with the opinion that non-whites should be slaughtered, it's a valid opinion. Thank you, I just proved you wrong.

Uh, yes it IS a valid opinion. It's an "Opinion" - not fact. The fact that more than one person would agree with someone who wanted "Death to All Non-Whites" makes it an opinion, but not nessecarily a legal, agreeable and all-round pleasant opinion. It's still an opinion, though.

Yes actually.

You know, I don't think I need to make a snarky comment or anything this time. This speaks for itself.

An opinion such as that isn't an objective one, it's an ideological one.
All opinions in regards to ideology are valid.

Also, why do people always put white people in the role of the racists?
All races have the equal ability to be racist.

No, they aren't. Genocide is not a valid opinion. And the reason we put us in the role of the racist is because whites have filled it for hundreds of years.

Number one:
All ideological opinions are valid, simple as, you can't call what someone believes to be best invalid.

Number two:
Stereotyping a bit are we?

1: No they aren't. Some of them are just invalid.
2: We enslaved other cultures for hundreds of years and we (sadly) produced Glenn Beck and Bill O'Riley. It's a logical stereotype to use.

Good grief, do you not understand the inherent concepts behind words? An ideological opinion is "something someone believes in" - therefore someone that believes in the death of all non-whites HAS AN OPINION and it IS an opinion. Christ on a poker - you're slow.
