ACIII will be featured in the present. Desmond has been learning how to be an assassin through the use of the animus. If he doesn't bust out some MORE awesome assassin moves (Remember ACII?), or if they don't install a fourth game and use this idea, I'll feel like the first two games were for nothing...aside from being fun to play.
Assassin's Creed 3: Where/when should it take place?

I kinda thought it was going to be in the present, doing Desmond's story. However, a new game does not really HAVE to be between Ezio and Desmond's time periods. Hell, I think it would be awesome to play as the direct child of either Ezio or Altair, especially Altair if we get to see his innovations first hand, as he's making them.
I suppose they could go back as far as Adam if they really wanted to. They never mentioned any limitations on the genetic memory or the Animus's ability to explore them.
Edit to add - could even be the Roman soldier that pokes Jesus with a spear...

I think that after Screed II they need to get out of Europe (even though Victorian England would be cool)
But isn't the game going to end up in the future eventually?
Might as well be in the third game...

I meant that I'd like to see a Feudal Japan Assassin's Creed. And no the Assassin's Guild is not essentially Ninjas. Historically Ninjas were covert mercenaries for hire, not the Ninja clan warriors that the media today portrays them as. They did espionage, sabotage, AND assassinations for pay. Usually under the employ of daimyo(territorial lord). The Assassin's Guild is there to fight Templars. Two completely different things. Maybe you should learn your history before you blurt out nonsense.sirkai007 said:
I kind of fear that gun powder is the death nail that will ruin the series. It was cool in 2 because you it was a powerful weapon to use at range but it was limited in its speed to make it not broken. The only thing I can think of if the Guild is still active in the Victorian era is if he wears some kind of flexible armor made of special silk and small metal plates or has an extra skill to compensate for flying lead (Bullet time? Ick).Ashhearth said:
I would like 3 better if it had something to do with shaping the events of history so perhaps The American Revolution or some other conflict during that time period.
Or how about this one? Joan of Arc was really and Assassin.
the future damnit!
they can create the perfect setting in a city where you can parqour anywhere
they can replace the shitty melee combat with shooting and fix my biggest complaint with both games
and most importantly...actually not that important but still they can finish the story or at least continue it

All the more reason to hide your ass and not get caught I say. The combat wasa too easy for me. Even if I was caught, you just need to counter often enough to kill everyone... Ezio had a gun in the last game, albeit limited... But the guns at very loud, so it wouldn't be ideal for an assassin since silencers were not invented them. You would still need to rely on bladesValkyrie101 said:
You also have to consider that it is between assassins and templars, who stayed mainly in Europe. I agree that ninjas are the ultimate assassins and that it would be pretty cool to work with it from that angle it would not be Assassin's Creed! It will become just another ninja game. However, I do like the Victorian England idea or French Revolution! Still enough validation for sword play and some guns, like the end of AC2. Also I believe the Industrial Revolution period in England would be a cool time. Running around the docks and shipping yards to assassinating the people trying to gain control through the improvements of industry. It could provide a cool back story.
the only problem is that anything that even remotely tries to justify ww2 from the perspective of the axis (mussolini, yeah yeah, i know) won't necessarily do too well, financially... seeing as the majority will gravitate to the safe and familiar... (if you haven't figured it out yet, i'm basing this entire argument from yahtzee...), but you raise an incredibly good point... the only problem (and indeed, in these mildly more enlightened times, annoyance) is that if a ww2-from-italian/other-perspective game were ever produced, they'd have to take special measures to distance itself from, and most likely sever all ties to, anything even remotely nazi/ww2 germany (which will screw over historical accuracy AND generally how interesting the game is) in order to sell... though i'm sure i'm not the only one who would be interested in (not lead to paroxisms of ecstasy by) a ww2 game from the perspective of the "opposition"... it'd just be something that would be interesting too see/play/listen to their justifications... sorry if thats offensive to anyone (i only said it'd be interesting...)Dys said:

Fair point about the combat, but Asscreed doesn't exactly make it easy to hide yourself (although it's better in AC2, when the shit hits the fan stealth isn't an option), and the gun mechanics in the game aren't particularly refined. It'd need a lot of work, and I'd rather it stick with various sharp implements.Celtic_Kerr said:
So you're saying that I'm stupid to see parallels between Ninjas and Assassins? Let's take a look at this.AzrealMaximillion said:
In the games you not only assassinate (done for money or the furtherance of one groups goals means very little) but you spend time sitting on park benches to hear what people are talking about, beat intel out of people, and steal items of information. But that isn't espionage apparently.
And wasn't the whole goal of killing all those people in AC1 about sabotaging the Templars' plans to rule the world at least until the plot twist?
I'm going to say French Revolution, Colonial America, or Russian Revolution. Having a lot more politics and stealth added to the game and adjusting the balance in unstable periods seems pretty sweet. Too much Sherlock Holmes and related media for me to get excited about Victorian England, just doesn't seem that interesting.

Cardinal Richelieu would without doubt had good use of an assassin in the french court in 1622.
Lots of swordfights, musketeers and some guns, like in AC2.
You want architecture, try Paris ?
This was the absolute hotbed of political intrigue at that time for all Europe, and the factions fought about power,money,land,religion and the class difference were enormous.
Allied countries became enemies, allies and enemies again sometimes the same year and royal weddings was often the last tool to make bonds between countries.
Very interesting times.
( weak ruler with several "advisors", war on several fronts ,bad economic times for the people and good for the wealthy.... this reminds me of something...hmmm.It ended in revolution, i wonder how it ends this time. )
