Ah yes I forgot the way that Jack took their lives.Frost27 said:Watching Ubisoft try and come up with a believable plausible reason why killing a female templar, dissecting her in a pseudo sexual manner and removing her reproductive organs would be amusing. I think I would pass though.WorldofHarvis said:Victorian England def.
You are Jack the Ripper (or work for him) and all those prostitutes that he killed were actually working for the Templars.
You know you want it
Unless the ripper were a renegade assassin you had to trail and eliminate. Then the mutilated bodies could probably be akin to collectibles discovered throughout the story that leads to an optional fight. Sort of like tracking the face peeler in Arkham City.
Still morbid though.
Maybe the Assassins came up with some form off swiss-army-hidden-blade which causes quite a mess....
Man I was so hyped to play as Jack, now less so.
I would like either Egypt or Victorian England! And if they do England, they must feature jack the ripper and/or sherlock holmes and Moriarty! And I hope the Assassin gets to do jobs for queen Victoria herself. Jack would be a templar, so would Moriarty if him and holmes get featured.
Haven't even finished the second one yet.. but:
Ancient China could be fun.
But Victorian England would advance the timeline and
is an interesting setting.
Insane never gonna-happen fantasy options:
Narnia
I soooo want to kill that smug lion...
or
Minas Tirith

Feudal Japan, mostly since you already are basically a ninja. Also, it would change the aesthetic a lot, which is good for another new character.
Second choice is the Russian Revolution. Prevalent rifles, machine guns, etc. could make it very interesting.

China, Japan and then England. They're the only ones with enough tall and interesting buildings to justify an Assassin's Creed game. Victorian England would be cool, but I'd rather see something that rarely ever gets touched, like Medieval China or Feudal Japan (well, outside of JRPGs ).
Also, shut up about the American Revolution. No tall buildings, no interesting cities, and guns really aren't good for this series. Ancient Rome would be cool, but we've already seen the place (albeit a number of centuries later). The Spanish Conquest doesn't work because there's no opportunity for an assassin to be able to prance around, and Ancient Egypt, while cool, doesn't appeal to me as the setting of a Creed game.
I suppose the Russian revolution might work, but the setting - post WW1 (well, possibly during) is too modern, I feel, for a Creed game.

I think Victorian Britain with the ability to go explore different parts of the empire. So one mission would see you sneaking into a fancy dress ball in a manor in England then a couple of missions down the line assassinating an maharajah in India or following a merchant in Hong Kong. After Victorian Britain I think China, Japan then Egypt.
Japan, China, or Russia would be awesome. But really...I'm not even excited about this series anymore, after the way they ran entire set pieces into the ground with Revelations. A game so artificially extended that a portion of the gameplay was nothing but artificial extension with no substance beyond a voice over exposition. Between everything that the series used to offer, and everything else that the series can't get right (four games with the same movement system and you can't fix high profile movement so that it's fluid yet? Really?), I'd rather see them take a break, and take the game back to when it was its greatest. Take it somewhere where we can run around fluidly, parkour around, and stab people without having to worry about being shot by what should be more like of a musket than a rifle from across the map, even if a rifled barrel shouldn't exist for about a hundred years. Classy, Ubisoft.
Oooooh! Um, so many wonderful choices!
It's a history major/gamer's dream come true!
I vote for:
*The violent conflicts of the Imperial Dynasties in Medieval China
*The advent of the mighty British Empire during Victorian England
*The culmination of the Pharaoh Reign in Ancient Egypt
*The overthrow of the Tsar Empire by the Communists during the Russian Revolution
*The Warlord Battles in Feudal Japan
They all sound so lovely!
Oh, I can't wait to see what they do with the series!

These are the only real options.putowtin said:
I thought about egypt, but think:
Egypt only has on climate: Desert.
England has lakes, forests, plains, and mountains. Same with russia, but with tundra as well.
Precolumbian south america has jungles, mountains, plans, and deserts, and has it's on pymiads, so I don't see why a egptyian one would be needed.
Plus, all 3 would fir into the setting extremely well. I've already expressed my intrest in a AC taking place during the russian revolution, and I think we can all aperciate playing as a aztec or mayan.
Or being jack the ripper or something.
All of them have cool, distinctive archtecture.
My vote goes to Victorian England, except that it doesn't.
The British Empire is the largest there has ever been; if you pick it as a setting, you pick pretty much EVERYWHERE as a setting. You could complete your objectives during the riots of the Chartists, sever the head of a corrupt Company officer during the Indian Mutiny, try and assassinate the Mad Mahdi in the Sudan, leap across the harbour in Hong Kong and/or China at the height of the Opium Wars, even tear-arse it through the whole of Western Europe with nothing but a British passport and a stabby thing in your wrist. Oh, and probably a pepperbox pistol as well, because those are just cool.
I also don't get what everyone seems to have against guns. Keep it historically accurate and there's no reason for Lord Hanley (I rather think that the idle rich are a breeding ground for the assassins, and there could be the obligatory subplot about his father being a Templar) to fear them. Rifles were only accurate to two hundred yards at the absolute most and swords were still in frequent use, especially in the colonies. Besides, knives and clubs and pistols would be the order of the day in many of the settings, and there's nothing quite as wonderful as spinning under some poor bugger's shot, kicking his gun out from his hands, and then braining him with it. Except doing it to several of them at once.

Victorian England, then one of the targets can be Jack the Ripper and we can get some awesome weapons and traverse england amazingly. Could do some more extreme missions like starting the great fire of london and frame it on someone else.
If not there then the American civil war would be cool

Torn between Russia and Victorian England. I officially need to play this series if these are the settings that are coming up.
