Next Assassin's Creed is called Odyssey, takes place in Ancient Greece.

Apparently you'll get your wish. Leaks seem to suggest that you'll be able to select a male or female character at the start of the game.

Apparently, but I'm left to ask how that even works. The Animus taps into genetic memory from distinct individuals. Unless reality itself shifts to accomodate the player choice, not sure how that's meant to work in-universe.

I don't think that Ubisoft gives a shit anymore. And who the fuck cares, really? As long as the game is fun it's all good.

I mean, you know it takes two people to make a baby right? So long as they're using player characters they have created, and not historical/mythical figures, then you play as ANCESTOR WHO DID THE THING. Whether it was your great x100 grandpappy or grandmomma seems pretty incidental.

Sure, but they couldn't both be the person who did and said the same thing. Yet Ubisoft is also adding dialogue choices. Maybe they're stepping away from realistic synchronization and they'll explain it with some Animus hack or whatever.

It's like you guys have never played an RPG before. The choices you make are canon. The choices you make, were always canon, shaping history appropriately.

Abstergo technology evolves sort of like Tony Stark's equipment in the MCU. There's a lot of extra info on the various techniques they used over time in the latest one if you happen to nose around a certain main character's desktop, and how they've moved onto less restrictive methods. It seems they're able to use DNA from preserved corpses at this point, also the Animus is now a suitcase.

Well, as settings go, Ancient Greece is pretty cool. Though that does beg a question for me in that have the Templar Order always gone by that name or did it crop up at about the same time as the actual Knight's Templar order?

Either way, enjoy SassyCreedo fans.

Well, rumor going around is that it's not actually set in Ancient Greece (i.e. Hellenic city states and all that) but in Greece during the Flavian Dynasty (69-96 C.E.) which had a lot big events even if the dynasty itself was pretty short

Does Odyssey mean there'll be ships again this time?

My mistake. Thanks

Athens, Sparta, Hoplites, Socretes, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, and what have you.

And mind you this is a VERY short teaser.


So we are going even furthur back in time, the last game Assassin's Creed Origins took place when Julius Caesar and Cleopatra was around.

And thus Assassin's Creed: Ninja, or Assassin's Creed World War 2 still eludes us

There is already an Assassin's Creed in WW2, it's called The Saboteur.

Really though I just want an Assassin's Creed that takes place in Medieval Europe, especially when Religion is a HUGE theme.

Whether it be another Crusades theme, or set in War of the Roses England, or something original in Medieval Europe.

Just not Renissance Italy again please, the Ezio Trilogy already concluded.

One can hope.

 

[Samtemdo8_v1legacy]

One can hope.

But these ships won't have cannons and guns though...but you will be ramming them against other ships.

So. Much. Ramming.

No cannons, but you might get some ranged options like incendiary arrows or throwers like catapults loaded with pots or barrels filled with flammable or combustible liquids. Sometimes the latter would be covered with caltrops or spikes to create a sort of rudimentary fragmentation explosive. There a records of the use of weapons like that in naval warfare going all the way back to the 9th centery BC Assyrians. Although it's a little fuzzy whether those weapons were meant for sieges against land targets or also for ship-to-ship combat.

Also, AC tends to play fast and loose when it comes to the historical accuracy of how technologically advanced your toys are, so it wouldn't surprise me that if there is naval combat, that it includes Greek Fire: basically a shipmounted flamethrower that belches burning liquid that behaved a lot like napalm, invented by the Byzantines in the 7th century.

Considering AC: Brotherhood had Ezio pilot a:
-Prototype Tank which could reload and fire cannons almost instantly(with a small crew)
-Glider with a small mounted cannon which reloaded automatically(despite ezio the only one on the thing)
-Small armored boat also with mounted cannon(which loaded itself automatically because ezio was piloting the thing solo)

Yeah, somehow I don't think too many shits are gonna be given on the realism front here.

Oh Great! Ubisoft has figured out how to copy/paste a shitty version of The Witcher 3 into a yearly franchise.

Origins was good, much better than previous AC games mostly due to the scope opening up and the major gameplay changes. However that doesn't mean I want to see them take the Origins formula and anualize the fucking shit out of it.

Take a break, breaks are good, they allow you to clean up your games and make a polished experience. I mean polished for a Ubisoft game at least. Most of all, break mean you don't burn people out on your franchise especially one that needs a story to survive. It's okay for CoD to do it, because nobody cares about CoD's story. Hell they aren't even doing a story this year because they know all people want is a PUBG mode.

Huh, I'll be. I've only ever played AC1 and Black Flag and know pretty much nothing about the others except their setting, so I was mostly basing my comment off the former, but apparently they were far from the highlights on the shizo-tech front. For a moment, I thought it ridiculous, but then it made sense.

Renaissance. Italy. It has Leonardo Da Vinci in it, doesn't it?

Brotherhood and Revelations are essentially AC 2.5 and AC 2.75. You could skip them and not miss a ton. Not to say they aren't fun games but as far as the story is concerned they were basically buyying time for 3 to be released.

Yeah, the machines I mentioned are apparently based off Da Vinci designs. In the game, The Templers forced Da Vinci to make working protypes of them. You're tasked with destroying the plans and then all of the prototypes(using one of the protoypes).

Well, I'm pretty damn stoked.

Ancient Greece is totally jam, and I'm curious to see where it will take place. The Peloponnesian War? Or some stuffs with Alexander the Great? City state stuffs and the silliness that happened between them? Stuffs with the Persian empire?

I've been doing a run of AC games that I have that I never got around to starting or finishing, so hopefully by the time I get to them all the game will be ready to come out. Excited to see what they have out in E3.

Like I said earlier in the thread, the rumor going around is it's not actually Ancient Greece, but Greece during Rome's Flavian Dynasty (coincidentally, the same era where Vesuvius erupted)
