Assassin's Creed III Could be set in World War II

[Hooded-hyena]

why not just have it in the future outside of the goddamn animus? i'm dying to see that world

I think they werent ready for it when they made the first game, but now since the second game is only a day and a month away, they are most definetely planning a third one.

Seeing as I am a expert fangirl on AssAss Creed, I definetely have to say "OHMYGOD NO!" to a WWII setting. I'd love to be a female assassian, but I dont want her to wear a G-string and little things covering her tits. That would annoy the hell out of me.
Honestly, are they so out of ideas that they want to use the same repeated crap? Use the 30`s Chicago fights with Capone and the police, American Civil war, etc etc.

I keep visualizing a bit of running around the Abstergo building as Desmond, before stumbling upon something very strange and then having the camera zoom out...out of the eye of a woman, strapped into an Animus Machine. The year is (insert reasonable number hear), and Abstergo has been successful, brainwashing all but a few loyal Assassins (and Morrissey, though that might not be mentioned). You play (insert attractive woman's name here), Desmond Miles' descendant, and you must bring down Abstergo. Your first mission would be to break out of the building, which would reveal a fantastical Jetsons/Skynet type world. You then proceed to jump and swing and slice your way to a really awesome ending.
The civilian AI would create massive crowds of brainwashed drones...Hight-tech weapons mixed with blades... This might be really cool.
Cooler than a Velvet Assassin remake...

Im just hoping for a Desmond based game, Im kinda hoping Assassins Creed 2 ends with him busting out of captivity knowing all the moves of his ancestors

That's Assassins Creed XIV

I'm fairly sure it was always meant to be a trilogy.

well then its no longer assassin with blades but itll just be a shooter and thats rubbish as u get shot when running away over rooftops it wont happen itll just become snipe every target from a tall building.
itll never happen
(ww2 bit not the women player thats possible and of course it may increase sales, may, of course it will =p)

WWII would kinda suck what with all the Nazis being basically the most evil SOBs ever to walk the earth and all the clear and easy to understand battle lines. WWI would be great though since no side was particularly more evil and I'm still not sure how everyone ended up in the fight (when did the Ottoman empire get involved). That and we haven't even seen the battlefields of WWI in video games that much opposed to WWII's well-worn battles

 

[ironlordthemad]

a female character, interesting, but because of the assassins in previous titles she may have to be a bit of a cold faced killer (no problems about that to be honest)

but if we are going to do a WWII game can we set it ouside of europe?
what i liked about Assassin's creed was that it was set in the middle east during the crusades, thats somewhere I dont go to in alot of my games, so why dont they set it somewhere else for this WWII version, I'd like to see it set in the more fuedal parts of japan...

Lets see you wall run when the walls are made from wood and paper!
The flip side would be stabbing through the wall to get to someone, KATANA POKE FTW!

Setting the game somewhere new would bring in new and more interesting weapons rather than the kind of thing we can just get in the latest WW2 COD game...

Everyone remember that this isn't set in stone. He was just suggesting something. I think it's a pretty good idea if it's the same style but different setting.

 

[Jupsto]

why does the series have to go forward in time each game? that would be lame.

The 3rd game could be set before the 1st, much more interesting time periods IMO.

one of the things that originally pulled me to AC1 is because of the medievil setting. hell set it in ancient rome or greece. WW2 FTL.

 

[Left4Meds]

Couldn't they make it somewhat more orginal for the location and time?
If it was set in Nazi Germany, they wouldn't have much to build on, except assassinate non-existant military officers.

Civil War times seems a bit too wide open, it doesn't have much of an exotic city theme like Italy.

Personally I'd like to see it somewhere in Russia.

 

[Zersy]

No place were they speak english.

No place that has been done before.

Female assassin is fine as long as it's fun.

 

[CK76]

French Revolution makes so much sense for this series 3rd installment.

1st - Dark Ages
2nd - Renaissance
3rd - Enlightenment

Imagine all the great characters (Rousseau, Voltaire, Napoleon) and going around Paris.

Only other way is setting in present (or future...Desmond's present)

 

[martin's a madman]

I personally like the idea. I mean as long as they don't bugger it up like the other developers did with Velvet Assassin. It would probably be pretty interesting. I mean to go between different countries and act as a spy or political assassin for your war-time employers. Imagine having a mission like in the first one with the failed attempt at dispatching Robert De Sable, only this time it is the Fuhrer himself. Maybe a plot device similar to the one in "Forrest Gump" where your actions actually set in motion certain true historical events.

Oh, maybe the time surrounding WW1 would be interesting too. Like Assassinating Franz Ferdinand or Grigori Rasputin. Ah geeze I am getting all excited.

 

[Belcameron]

I have a fantastic and ground-breaking Idea....WW1! Thats a area no games ever covers because both sides are equally as bad as eachother. I would prefer 4 games with the forth being based at the current time.

WW1 would be a winner I think.

 

[Medic Heavy]

Why not the dam future; Is it so gad damn hard to grasp that the future has no boundaries on what you could do with it?

.......World war I could be pretty interesting though....

I'm sure this has been brought up lots in the last 7 pages, but I'm not reading all that crap. I just have to say this:

Did you really have to abbreviate it as "AssCreed"? That's just...Lol. Juvenile. Not to mention you said it RIGHT after suggesting a hypothetical female assassin. This seems to be no accident.

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, I don't think Ubisoft Montreal can do us any wrong with a new AC game. It may have not been perfect, but the original was amazing and the second is looking to be more amazing than the first. I know I'll enjoy them all, regardless of any hypothetical ups and downs.

WWII? Bring it on. I don't care; I'll pay it and love it.

 

[Flying-Emu]

Just gonna put it out there...

Full-steampunk.

And you get to team up with Teddy Roosevelt.

 

[Tonimata]

I think it would be a good idea if they DON'T include guns, or at least, compensate for it. I mean, regardless of how badass the Altair descendant in question this time is, there's no way to survive being shot several times, regardless of what all the games with regenerating health say. If they manage to tweak that, I'd honestly love jumping through the rooftops of Berlin killing the members of the Party.

I'M COMING FOR YOU, HIMMLER!!!

Also, having Hitler as a final boss fight would be epic, and you know it.
