Sorry to be a buzzkill. I actually really dig the story of the "present day" sections of Assassin's Creed more than the story within the Animus sessions. Including checking e-mail.
Well it could have been set during the space race.

anyway, Hey Grey what happened to your Doodad competition?

No, it just pans back and you've actually been another character reliving the life of Desmond as he was reliving the lives of Altair and Ezio.

*starts playing the Twilight Zone music*
Imagine the outcry when they inevitably botch that plot twist.

Maybe it's because I'm reading the Sherlock Holmes stories and am totally on a Victorian kick, but OH YEAH, Assassin's Creed in Victorian england could be SOOOO sweet. You could have a cane with a hidden blade, strangle someone with your specialized pocket watch chain, have an awesome scene in an opera house where you stalk your wealthy target in his private box during the performance, escape from pursuers by jumping into carriages or taking one of the twisting alleyways, meet informants in shady pubs or opium houses. Plus you could still have multicultural targets since it seems like big time politicians and royalty from Germany, France, and other European countries visited England. Could even throw in some American targets! Plus, an gentleman victorian assassin in one of those tailored suits? NICE. Okay, probably not going to happen; running around murdering people would probably be difficult in a movement restricting outfit like that, but I like the suits. :)

Yeah, I think you're my long lost twin.

Or a clone.
Am I really? Something tells me that if I ever get ahold of AC: Brotherhood, we could have a lot of fun coordinating kills. XD
Only if you play on the 360 and I bother to buy a headset that actually fits.

Agreed, there's so much more that could have been done.

Unfortunately, it probably will be. All of it and more . . .

Technically, Brotherhood has a decent amount of action in 2012, so it's not only in one time zone. And the animus can only show backwards in time, but you know that. Actually, the secret that getting all the glyph unlocks in AC2 shows a concept very much like what you talked about
*spoiler*

(Subject 16 reliving Adam and Eve's escape from Eden, in a very unexpected way.)

Oh, and by the way, from the way the escalated things in a kinda-sorta sequel, I'm sure that if Ubisoft is given at least two more years for AC3, it's going to have more than one animus descendant, and that will be a major selling point, AND it's going to be Fricking huge. I also expect a complete combat system overhaul. Playing this game, and seeing all the minute and huge changes Ubi has made in a year for a title that was not meant to be a full sequel, but a continuation, has given me so much faith in them. At the end of the game, my mind was completely blown.

There is a way. How about you play not as Desmond in one game, but as another subject who went insane during the Animus sessions (Subject 16, perhaps). How about random hallucinations (like, perhaps, dinosaurs) start appearing during the sessions, or at least different recollections and dreams from the subject's life or past lives start blending together. I would personally want giant radioactive teddy bears to be involved, but that's just me :)

I like the ideas in this comic ;-)

Still, I don't see why people make such a fuss about this one being set in Renaissance Italy still - there are new characters, new locations...and they just had more story to tell. Plus Ezio is way more engaging as a character than Altair! I don't mind seeing a bit more of him ;-)

I, too, am looking forward to the next time period/main character, but I'm just as happy for the moment with more participation in the machinations and larger than life figures of Renaissance Italy - I mean, come on, we've had the Medicis, the Borgias, da Vinci, Copernicus, Machiavelli...and now we can run around Rome! =D

I actually like the way they handled Brotherhood.

Storytelling 101:

Wanna make something feel 'epic'? Develop a connection to the characters?
Make the story span multiple books/games/tellings.
Have the character start out simple and gradually become a leader, roping in followers.
(Suikoden, Dune, etc)

I do agree with Critical Miss on the idea of eventually broadening their horizons.

Assassins Creed: Space Assassins just sounds... totally bonkers.

Zero Gravity assassinations. Did anyone else jizz at the very thought of that?
I think everyone else just did.


It's cause they wanted to develop Ezio's character a bit more or something. I think by the end of Ass Creed 2, he's freaking awesome, and I can understand why they'd want to do that.
