I think the 2 AC should be in the time of the fall of the roman empire. You should be able to take a preys uniform. Oh, and there should be Xbox Live. You should all be dressed up in civilian clothes and have to figure out who is who. You can get information from pickpocketing and interrogation, etc. That would be awesome.
Assassins Creed 2
- Thread starter Swenglish
- Start date
All I want to see is the removal of the whole future/past thing. I want pure 12th century assassin action. I really didn't care for the stupid genetic memory machine, those stupid little in between missions, stupid Desmond, and his stupid face. I want to roam the land hunting baddies, with less focus on dumb prerequisite missions and more hunt them down and kill them missions. I want to see more moves, more weapons, more free roaming side quests. I want to see better guard AI, meaning they are not retarded. How many times can you kill guards in a row without getting caught by clasping your hands together and acting nonchalant. And if I see Desmond's stupid face I am going to choke myself to death.
Well...if you looked at all of the clues at the end of the game when you get eagle vision outside the animus, you would have seen some of the nazca geoglyphs that are in modern day Peru. So that says to me that the next one has to do with that area.
My theory is that the next one has someone (possibly desmond) having to go through what Desmond pretty much had to because the Templars didn't find the piece of Eden. The synopsis of the plot is that the character that is accessed through the animus is incan or something and he is to assassinate some Spanish conquistadors and maybe some corrupt tribe leader.

holy christ, after reading all of this confusing mish mash of a thread i'm not even going to comment.
Wouldn't you think, considering the way that AC ended, that Desmond would be used to retrieve the artifacts or, try to find the rest of the assassins order with what's-her-face? And Desmond would probably have to try to stop them getting the things to do the thing (trying not to plot spoil for those who haven't played it (but why would you be in this forum then?))
And I hope to heaven that it isn't as repetitive as the first one. I, personally, can't wait. It was a good game, good plot, great graphics. But I agree with J-Val and Yahtzee, if you looked at guard with so much as a quick gaze it's like "Quick, he looked at me funny! Git him!"

For those wanting to know when the game was set, wikipedia has the answer.

Further examination of the emails reveals some information regarding Earth as it is in the year 2012.
So, I guess it isn't really far in the future after all.

Najal you have said everything I was just about to say in about 13 paragraphs lol. I do believe that AC2 will have something to do with Japan/China most deffinately. And I'm about 85% certain that the bleeding effect will take it's toll on Desmond.
I don't feel the need for the game to modernize that much either. The 1191 setting setting was good and yes I dont mind if the time setting changes just as long as it doesn't modernize too much.
The site Mister Gale mentions is also a very useful site if you take the time to read it. It explains the ending in great detail(I was about to site it not realizing that he already did). Here it is again just in case:

Hmm Killzone 1 sucked so therefore Killzone 2 will be good
AC1 sucked so therefore AC2 will be good
I don't understand this math.

OT: Jeah. A realistic Assassin game situated in Japan would be great. I loved the first Tenchu, because it wasn't all about becoming invisible with a push of a button and stuff. It would be great to infiltrate small villages by climbing on trees and getting over there walls, crossing rooftops, maybe use poison to eliminate your target, who knows...
I do fear the worst, because this is Assassins Creed. So I suspect that a sequel (logically) would be "X" Creed.
I suspect AC2 to either put us in controll of Desmond or another Ancestor from another time period, The civil war would be good for that purpose.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. The "end of the world" date is 3 months away in gametime. And that is also when this company that kidnapped Desmond is launching some satalite.
Now for my comments on AC...
I loved AC. I thought it was a great game... a great game with some issues. The side quests are way to repetative. They should have had more unique side quests for each assassination in order to gain your intel. Maybe a little B&E inplace of all the pickpocket. Instead of sitting on a bench to easedrop, maybe you have to breakinto thier house or a tavern and wait for them to come to you (once you learn their dialy paterns). And I agree with most of you that for a stealty assassin, you killed enough guards to end the cursades yourself. Out of the 9 assassinations, I only had one where I killed the guy and didn't alert the guards right away. It was the guy on the boat. Climbed up the side of the boat, waited for him to turn around and stabbed him in the back. The guards on the boat never saw me. I only got noticed when I got back on the pier. And why not add night time to the game. If you are wanting to be stealthy, night time is the right time.
I thought the story line was great, compelling. I wanted to see how it would end. And as far as the rants about adding the Sci-Fi element (the animus), I think it is briliant. This would allow you to have a sequeal any damn place you want. It opens up so many doors for storytelling. Imagine a story line that could jump around the globe and through time in search of the "artifacts". You could go back to the Philidelphia experiment or to Russia and the Tunguska event. I think placing your gameplay in the modern element is a waste of time. The Animus is where the game can really shine; reproducing other historical areas. And hell, get Lucy in the Animus. She is an Assassin, I'm sure her heritage has some link to the Pieces of Eden.
As much as I like the game, I am most upset by how much it didn't do. It really does have a lot of potential and I hope the sequal will do what a video game sequal should do. Keep the good stuff, and improve where needed. Don't completely reinvent the wheel, just make the wheel better.
I loved, and still love Assasin's Creed, and I don't even care if the next game is the same mechanics with a different story pasted over it. I'm prolly gonna (try to) get Assasin's Creed 2 the day it comes out. Just tell me when the release date is and I'll get my camping bag out xD
Ok,i'm new and my idea is a little far-fetched but bear with me. what if AC2 was 4 times as long as the first one. they could have the sequel placed in japan( a ninja), the middle east ( altair), south america( a character that was an ancestor of desmund who is similar to something out of apocolypto), and 2012 as desmund. as you entered the game and hit continue, you could select which character you would play with. for example one day you decide to play with altair. so you explore the whereabouts of the other artifacts, have a child, and as someone sed earlier be destroyed by your child. thus ending that part of the game. and you could complete each character's segment until the game was over. there would be no specific order to complete them in either, because they all tie into the same story. desmund must stop abstergo. so have him in the city. i am not against the modern version of this, so long as guns are not too involved. u can still climb to the top of a building. you coul just go thru the inside. yes, i know a game like this could take a while, but what's a little waiting for an amzing game like this...but this is just an idea.. and i far out one at that..soo if you have questions or comments email me: [email protected]
What I hope for AC2 would be around the time of 1800's. Maybe the guys ancestor would be someone like jack the ripper
Some of thoughts of mine about AC2 --->
Surely the fact that Desmond wakes up from the animus a final time and comes back to the present day only to find that he now possesses eagle vision and discovered loads of freaky blood drawings everywhere points to these things:
1) He has acquired the assassin skills of his ancestors.
2) Using these new found skills he must escape the complex.
Also remember that the treasure he found as Altair was a map to locate other artifacts in the present day, which is why they put Desmond in the Animus in the first place. So if these artifacts are 'dangerous in the wrong hands' then surely it's in Desmond's best interest to find them.
This means that he now has to to travel the whole bloody world to find these artifacts before the bad guys do. A different location in loads of different countries.
I know a lot of AC purists would disagree with this direction, but I argue that AC was only good because of the graphics and the free running mechanic, both of which could be thrust into a modern day setting. It would make it more like an Indiana Jones game, globe trotting using skills to find treasures but hell, I that's my idea of an epic game!

okay i loved assassins creed i though it was (almost) perfect...everyone is like "oh the free-run sucked because i kept falling of off buildings, and i can't fight because i can't counter =(" well one: learn to use a joystick because free-running was so easy that i picked up the controller for my first time and loved it because of th free-running capabilities. two: fighting was SOOOO easy...yet fun...work on your timing that's all i can say because i just beat assassins creed today(haven't had it very long) and i loved it...i've seen a lot of people talking about assassins creed two...well i doubt it's going to be in japan because hopefully they would try to go with the same TIME PERIOD and stuff like that but unless altair was looking for a piece of eden in japan it wouldn't work because it would leave desmond's whole story...i kinda want to figure out what happens to desmond...don't you? now it would be cool if altair went to some asian country and like learned how to use ninja weapons and like a katana or something and he just...idk i'm just saying i don't think the whole asian country would work out...but you never know it might happen
