Make the Codex Great Again!
This game series keeps popping up every now and then, Ubi gave me a copy of ACIII for free and it even spawned a movie.

This is popular and has fans. I just can't get myself to play any of those games, everything about them seem so.. meh.. undercooked and uninspired. A game that only a corporation could make.

Cleopatra was the first assassin.

lol if there's actually a "Cleopatra" in this game the nerdrage will be epic

Probably won't be though, Assassin's Creed doesn't go that far in historical inaccuracy.


Whoops!

I really liked the first two games. The first game felt "next-gen" when it was released I remember, even if it was repetitive. I know many disliked the Sci-Fi aspect of the game, but I loved it. I felt it was one of the strong points of the game. In other words I liked the Desmond sections. Those sections didn't have any hand-holding and you could experiment with different things which in turn spawned different cut-scenes and I think the ending got affected as well. Second one had a funny & charming protagonist and the story felt tight. One thing I really enjoyed with the second game was uncovering the secret of the origins of the humans. They had some really nasty puzzles you had to look for and solve, really enjoyable. Brotherhood was okay, but the rest after that is pretty much shit. I haven't played the fourth game in the series though, but I have heard it is enjoyable but worse than Brotherhood.

Are you really praising AC 2 for its story? A game which had a boss fight with the fucking Pope holding a magic spectre and casting magic at you? :lol:

Yeah I thought it was awesome :)

Well, okay it felt a bit weird maybe, but it wasn't really worse than the boss fight in the first game. Just goes to show that those artifacts are really fucking powerful.

There was nothing good about the Sci-Fi shit. No different ending, everything linear. You went around picking shit up or not. Whole game series would have been better without that as it's clear that they had no idea what to do with the story and how to shoehorn it into the historical world. It just kind of petered out with ever more ludicrous additions that got in the way. Eventually it all became a parody with the whole Abstergo Entertainment game within a game thing from AC4 onward. Wish it just ran as a historical open world adventure without that distraction as the actual worlds Ubi creates are great looking and fun to wander around in. They just forget to put a compelling narrative and gameplay to go along with it for much of the series.

Caesar will be templar ;)

WHAT?????

Knights Templar was founded in 1119.

They'll just make it so the Reptilians created the precursors to the Templars to try and recover the Apples of Eden before the 'Templar' age and it will all fit.

This. I only played the three games featuring Ezio, but every time the game sent me back to the present day to do some shit with Desmond I hoped it would be over quickly cause I wanna go back to exploring the historical city. The scifi shit was superfluos and uninteresting.

Cleopatra was the first Pope (her name means Keys to the Fatherland). The Nile gods were Venusians and the Indo-European gods were Martians. God was Heremes Trimegestus, a renegade Venusian working both sides of Cosmic Law from a homebrewed VR. Moses was his Avatar... should I proceed? Oh yeah, the Dogon are the wise negroes of the one true aliens.

The game is set in Pharaonic Egypt centuries before the Greeks and Romans.

The GAF quote above says:

• Takes place during the ascent and reign of cleopatra

I know GAF and everything, but the power struggle / civil war seems to be a good setting for the Assassins / Templar dualism, especially when they can bring well known figures like Caesar in.

(The Medjay probably didn't exist in Cleo's time anymore though, but thats something they can easily change.)

"Medjay" in Ptolemaic Egypt? Ok....

Black Flag is the best in the series - cruising around the Caribbean on your own ship, beautiful locations and a crazy amount of polish. If this is the same team that made that, then yeah, it's gonna be good.

I just hope they keep it authentic and aren't tempted to dumb it down to appease the "We want Cleopatra/Caesar" crowd who have appeared in this thread.

Yes, I probably added that part while you replied.

Anyway, Ptolemaic period seems to be settled. Ancient Egypt is probably too "foreign" for the audience. Tutankhamun is too unimportant and I don't think they want to press Aton'ism vs. the old gods in their game, because while the concepts are still important / understood today, it's too much for a AAA game.

I wonder if Cleopatra will look black / Nubian in the game.
