With a nautical/pirate theme this time it appears. The naval missions in asscreed 3 were quite fun, so I won't mind seeing more of those.

 

[Excidium]

They don't stop shitting out those.

 

[Sranchammer]

Awwwwwwww I was hoping for a Russian Civil War theme

 

[kazgar]

I was hoping for a late 70's, early 80's California Punk theme.

Awwwwwwww I was hoping for a Russian Civil War theme

As awesome as a setting that would be, it is one that will almost never be done.

 

[Mangoose]

I can see the suits discussing amongst themselves, "Hm... Which setting would be easiest to reuse assets from a previous game?"

Why? Because no one knows anything about it? Doesn't stop those chinese warring states games from popping up.

There's a book called Romance of the Three Kingdoms with everything that you need to know, and it's already in epic tale format...

My first pick would've been the War Between the States though that would open up a whole can of worms which Ubisoft would rather avoid. Hence, Russian Civil War which wouldn't perturb Westerners as much.

 

[Mangoose]

I wonder if they'll skip over the World Wars or not. I'd definitely play one set during either war though. Preferably the former.

World War 1 feels a little more chaotic so an Assassin would be more at home there. I mean that one is the one with some infamous femme fatales. But I would expect to see some more stupid American patriotism from Ubisoft. Something like an American in the French resistance is more up their alley. And I'm sick and tired of that setting.

 

[DalekFlay]

Victorian England will get me back into this series, or something truly unique like ancient China. Not this.

 

[potatojohn]

Nothing could make me try an AC game ever again. But I'd watch a LP.

 

[AngryEddy]

Just keep pumping these things out every 6 months, that wont oversaturate the market or anything.

They already have a female character who could serve as a protagonist as well, if they want to go with a female lead.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Meh, i think they should drop AC all together then make some full "pirates and trade themed" game with their war/fighting mechanics plus advenced crafting, crew mechanics and large selection of ships.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

They don't stop shitting out those.

Ubisoft is a little bit like the US military complex: Once it grows too big, the gears of producing perpetual shit cannot stop anymore lest mass layoffs and thus disaster transpires.

World War 1 would be cool if you were operating in major cities instead of at the front line. Lots of possibilities for intrigue and espionage.

What I really want to see though is Paris during the Revolution. Lot's of iconic characters, exactly the kind of drama where an assassin thrives, and the Parisian rooftops are perfect for parkour.
The colonial villages in AC3 were a letdown compared to Rome and Constantinople, climbing around them felt pointless, might as well walk on the streets to get around.

So they are basically going back in time with 4, when all other games were going forward? What gives. I thought the plot progression was tied with timeline progression.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

I won't ever take that series serious as long as they keep making some rebellious dumbshit jumping around on roofs.

This time you wiill have a rebellious dumbshit jumping around on masts. Totally different.

So what you're saying is "I think Ubisoft should stop releasing crap and do an interesting game instead". How likely do you think that is to happen given their track record?

 

[Tytus]

Ubisoft's Sid Meyer's Pirates 2.

Now with a hidden a blade!

Zero, it's just "a fools hope"
