Poll: Assassin's Creed 3: Ezio again????!!

[A Username Not In Use]

I've not yet played Brotherhood, but while I liked Ezio I do feel that we should have another leap forward to a new time possibly the Napoleonic Wars given thst they were world wide, it could really help expand the Templer side of the story or even throw in some muguffn that neither the Templers or Assassins have any idea about.

I thought the Assassin's Creed series was going to explore multiple different historical settings. Another Ezio game will disappoint me.

 

[Woodsey]

Its not Assassin's Creed 3.

 

[CoffeeOfDoom]

My problem with Ezio being in Revelations is that he's going to be pretty old at the start, at the end of Brotherhood he was already 48. Time to put down the hidden blades maybe? They already did a joke about him doing his back in!
I'm looking forward to playing Altair again though, and even playing as Desmond, he definitely got more interesting in Brotherhood.

If they end up time travelling...I'm going to disown Ubisoft.

Edit: I want to kill Hitler as an assassin!

I get that there were some assholes out there, but I simply cannot buy it that apparently every single thing anybody who Ezio had to kill did was FOR THE EVULZ. (And the Disney Death at the end, while entirely justified by the man's real death being that, is sickening. "You just butchered through hundreds upon hundreds of men, but it would be wrong to kill THIS man. So you must throw him off a ledge so as to not offend people)

Um, what are you talking about? Why the hell do you get the idea that Ezio thought it was wrong to kill him? Why would anyone be offended? Plus, even if Ezio did think it was wrong to kill him (He didn't...), he still threw him over so he still killed him.

Also there was one guy that wasn't kitten-eating evul, Dante Moro was actually a good guy from what I recall of his database entry in AC2. Macro wanted to marry his wife so he tried to kill Dante to get past the whole "Til death do us part" thing. Dante was alive but wasn't much for conversation after that so Macro made him his bodyguard and got him to divorce his wife by ordering him to. Then he married her and Dante protected him because he was pretty much brain-dead at that point. And I think there was a letter where she was trying to get him to realize what happened or something. Still though that was in AC2...to be fair though the Borgias are evil so it makes sense for them to be mostly closely working with evil people.

Anyhow I'm tired so SLEEP NAO!

reading the report it does say the EZIO trilog, i know they didnt do it with altiar, but maybe after this there will be an assassins creed 3 with a new trilogy centered around a new timeframe and protaganist?
also for their next time period i heard they might do WWII; occupied france would be interesting, might wash the saboteur out of my mouth...

I like Ezio as a character, but I feel like the games have the potential for more time periods. I was hoping for a game based off the AC comics, a Russian during the late 19th and Early 20th centuries. It would certainly mix the gameplay up.

russia would be fun, but im really wishing for feudal japan, even though i know it has nothing to do with the Christian origins theme they have been running with. more feasible is maybe a return to the crusades with altiar? finish up that "trilogy"?

 

[robot slipper]

Although I like Ezio, as a lot of side-characters kept mentioning in Brotherhood, he's getting on in age a bit isn't he! Soon he'll be like, "oh I can't climb that wall today, my arthritis has flared up again.."

At least there will be new cities, I hope the NPCs will throw in random Turkish phrases and such. And if they are going to have Altair, pleeeeease let him have at least a Generic Middle Eastern Accent instead of an American one.

I know, right? How awesome did that guy look?? And it'd be a hell of a change in setting too! I wonder why they haven't done anything with that... was he not related to Desmond?

He did indeed look badarse. He wasn't related to Desmond though...Though they could easily write it in.

I'm sure it couldn't hurt to do an Assassin's Creed game that doesn't include Desmond. The PSP game, Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines didn't actually involve him, I don't think. Just Altair.

People say "Oh, just put it in modern times!"
But that would go terribly. I have seen a lot of people play, and very rarely do people use any amount of stealth. Fighting enemies with modern weaponry would be a 4 step process.
1)Kill a guy or two
2)Get seen
3)Get shot multiple times by automatic weapons. In the Face.
4)Repeat until rage is fully achieved.

 

[willofbob]

if you don't move to a new period, Altaiir wouldn't make a lick of sense.

 

[erbkaiser]

Sounds to me like this will not be AC3, but another one in the AC2 series instead.
Ubisoft is probably saving the AC3 title for the next protagonist.

Assassin's Creed (1) and AC Bloodlines: Altaïr
Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations: Ezio
Assassin's Creed 3: next...

One thing I do hope is that either the Desmond sections become more interesting, or that they're dropped.

Batman: Arkham Asylum, pulled that off quite well, though it was a less open game.

I would prefer AC3 to be in another era less exploited by other games like the Italian Renaissance was. Maybe Absolutist France (Plotting against Louis XIV? Flirting with Marie Antoinette? Participating in the French Revolution?).

Honestly, I have no problem with this at all. There will be more than enough future Assassin's Creed games set in other times, we can wait.

Until then I'm more than happy to have a story that will have Ezio scouring foreign lands for artifacts that Altair perhaps died trying to find. There is a lot of potential in what they're doing, and after the previous three games I have faith that they will make use of it.

As far as the story goes I actually think this one could really take it up a notch. As far as gameplay goes, I'm also pretty excited. I mean come on, we'll have Altair on his quest to Constantinople, probably to find the pieces of Eden that he had seen on the 3D map. Think of the cool new gadgets and perhaps new gameplay mechanics you can expect as a result of this. Same thing with Ezio, just in a different time period.

There IS a lot of potential, and unlike so many other game series that follow a single protagonist, Assassin's Creed has a history of doing character development RIGHT. I can pretty much guarantee that if you liked the previous installments, you'll like this one as well.

Pfffft!

If this poll is any indication of popular opinion at all, boy did Ubisoft ever call this one wrong.

The problem being there's potentially more Assassin's Creed games, but only so much consumer demand for them. Games like this are lucky if they've got more than two sequels in them before people get sick of the storyline and just want a conclusion already. If we're patient, yes, I believe you're right and we will get a proper Assassin's Creed 3 with a new protagonist.

Will we be flat-out bored with Assassin's Creed by then, though? I'm not even necessarily talking about the characters or the storyline itself, but rather the mechanics; you can only perform the same kinds of activities so many times before you want something new out of it. The Half-Life episodes ran into this problem, their mechanics stretched paper-thin by the time they hit Episode 2. It's gonna take something pretty special out of Ubisoft to avoid that problem--granted, you do have a point and there is a lot more they can do still, and they have proven they have a knack for finding improvements in this series' mechanics, so it's worth a bit of faith. I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

I think that Brotherhood did sum his story up nicely, although it could well have finished with AC 2. Another game about him seems totally superfluous to me.

Wishing we could see a drastically different setting this time around, like ancient Greece or medieval Japan/China.

THAT WOULD ROCK. What a way for them to improve the combat mechanics! Assassin's Creed with ninjas? Honest-to-god stealth-and-trickery ninjas? Yes please!

Personally I would like to play a female Assassin at the time of Genghis Khan and the Mongols. Especially since according to legend he died after being stabbed by one of his wives - BEST INFILTRATION ASSASSINATION EVAR.
