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

[whaleswiththumbs]

So my only idea of this is that they must be using a female assassin to hopefully not be called on trying to rip-off The Saboteur

... Isn't that just Velvet Assassin?

Ssssshhh... You'll spoil it for everyone.

OT: No, just no. Can we please just stop with WWII?

Why not the English Civil War? That could honestly rock quite hard.

Because there "Was" no English Revoloution?

 

[Slash Dementia]

If an Assassin's Creed game starts to have guns, I won't buy it... And also, doesn't this sound exactly like Velvet Assassin?

 

[Pingieking]

If they are going to have female assassins, I think the cold war would be a better stage than WW2.

Not many buildings to free run off though.

Oh dear.

Opening paragraph.

Speaking to Xbox World 360 about the upcoming Assassin's Creed II, Puel was asked about the possibility of having a female Assassin as the protagonist of a future AssCreed title.

Sorry, I couldn't help being crudely amused at the idea of having a female protagonist, then renaming it 'Asscreed'.

To add something of a less mindless nature, I'd agree with most people that WWII has been way too overdone. Also, as far as continuity goes, I think it's better that history gradually moves closer and closer to modern day as they attempt to discover where these various artifacts have gone. With this in mind, skipping to 1939 would miss out a major chunk of history from which people have extracted some excellent time periods (War of Independence, English Civil War, Industrial Revolution to name but a few).

Keeping it in a time where blades are more useful is also part of Assassin's creed to me - who's going to bother with wristblades during a blazing gunfight with the Hitler brigade? This is a good idea for the future, but Desmond is not yet ready for his Sturmgewehr 44.

In short: Women 1 - WWII 0

Female Protagonist=Yay!
WWII=FUCK NO.

Just set a damn game in modern day pakistan already so we can assassinate the bastards hiding out there.

World War I would be OK, but WWII has, similarly to any Nintendo property, overdone beyond the point of obsolesence. US Civil War, 100 Years War could be interesting too.

 

[Dyp100]

WWII could be interesting, but I'm so sick of it I hope if it is done, it is done well!

I can't wait for AC35, set in the far future where I'm assassinating aliens, or set in the distance past where I'm throwing big rocks at other cavemen!

... Isn't that just Velvet Assassin?

Pretty much.

Sadly I see them doing it anyway.

 

[destroyerofhopes]

it would no longer be assasins creed it would involve guns and snipers, it would be a good game but it would be a disappointment to all fans. ALTHOUGH i think that its a good idea and would be a great game even though it wouldnt be original.

 

[Mr. Squee]

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

 

[Vanbael]

A female protaganist would be nice, but WWII is jumping the gun and is overused. Can't we go back to WWI or some revolution back then?

 

[oppp7]

Wait, aren't the games going to end the storyline after the 3rd? How are they going to do that if the games won't be about modern times?
OT: Great. Another WW2 game. Only now we get to use knives to fight people with guns. Or we might use sniper rifles. Otherwise I doubt it will be stealth based...

 

[ssgt splatter]

So the Crusades and the Renissance...what would be the next major global phenomenon?

Just set a damn game in modern day pakistan already so we can assassinate the bastards hiding out there.

Oh, and what he said. LMFAO!

Well, speculation is a big toy to play with.

Remember the speculation for ACII? I seem to remember half the population stating it was going to be in Feudal Japan.

And we're a far way off from ACIII so lets just wait for some official information.
