Intriguing. But very unlikely as for reasons already mentioned.Daystar Clarion said:
I expect they will take you back to some historical event in the 18th century. There is a gap of 3 centuries between Altair (12th century) and Ezio (end of the 15th century) and if you add 3 you get 18 and 3 more leads you to Desmond in the 21st century.
I doubt it will be a game focused on Desmond since that would suggest the franchise is coming to an end and by the looks of it they are going to milk it to death.
It won't be in the same sort of time as Ezio, we've been told that Revelations is the definite end for him *sad face*
I'd like to see other time periods, some could be really interesting. Late Feudal Japan, Victorian England, Revolutionary America? All great settings. But I'd like to have a game focus on Desmond now, Ubisoft tried to build his character during Brotherhood, hopefully they'll do that more in Revelations despite being in a coma and stuck in the Animus, we'll see more of his subconscious.
We could get some answers to some of the huge cliff hangers and mind fucks, but somehow I think Ubisoft will just build on those rather than answer them right away. So long as they keep up with the standard of AC 2, Brotherhood and what Revelations promises us, I'm happy with an annual release for the games of this franchise.

You've played too many video games to know this won't work. You can't give a hero that much time, or you're boned.Daystar Clarion said:
I want a WW2 setting, either Hitler is an assassin or you have to kill Hitler...I don't care which.
I know a lot of people would want a female assassin but in canon it probably wouldnt work, think of how Desmond has to Synchronise with Altair and Ezio to see their later memories, im betting that trying to Synchronise him with a female ancestor would either be impossible, or it would take too long for him to adjust, giving the templars a huge time advantage.
Personally im happy with where ever they go next, im gonna miss Ezio though, after 2, and Brotherhood it feels like i've been through so much with him, you get to see him grow up throughout the games and in a way its sad to see the end of his story :'( we didnt get his level of characterisation with Desmond or Altair, although I hope Desmond gets a shitload more characterisation before the series ends

You know, the number of bugs in Brotherhood has got me thinking that maybe a yearly release cycle isn't as good for the series as Ubisoft say it is. I've fallen through the river, been locked out of the Animus, had assassination target scripts not trigger properly, causing desynchronization because they died "too early", gotten stuck in the geometry, and the list goes on and on. That's not even counting some of the 100% synch failures caused by me doing exactly what the requirements were (I'm looking at you, "Calling all Stand-Ins"; you told me to kill them using recruits, I called the recruits in, the target dies by the recruit's hand, and bam, 100% synch failure O_O).
I love the game, but damn it's infuriating seeing how little they cared about making it all work properly. I'm afraid Revelations will turn out to be similarly tarnished.
They need to slow down and actually do some bugfixing instead of pushing it out the door.
I'll add my own speculation for the new time and place: 17th and 18th Century Europe, possibly France or England. You've got Oliver Cromwell, Louis XIV, the Enlightenment, The Glorious Revolution, the London fire, a plague outbreak, and a whole bunch of scheming, conspiracy, betrayals, assassinations, and other assorted corruption. Was just as pivotal and turbulent a time for the history of Western civilization as the Renaissance.

A game where you play as Jesus. Think about it, there's an awful lot about lineage and things...
I'm kidding. Would be pretty damn crazy though.

You know, I'm actually hesitant about this. I'm ok with brotherhood and revelations coming out in only a year because they're working with the same engine and such, which is the same reason why I'm fine with sprite based games having shorter development times. However, if this isn't going to be Desmond's story (I hope it is, but I'm still just talking hypotheticals here), then it might be worth giving it a bit more time to work with the new assassin's style. Hell, even if it is Desmond, Ubisoft might want to do a bit more work on him (such as giving him the ability to switch "styles" between his ancestors, which might mean a bit more work on the combat system if they want to make them different enough to work).
I'm okay with this AS LONG AS WE ARE DONE WITH EZIO! My god, I am so sick of that guy. Next Creed game needs to A: have a new protagonist, B: have a new setting, C: Have a new time period, and D: Be called "Assassin's Creed 3" (or 5 i guess, so long as it's back to ending in a number)
I was gonna say pretty much this but add that this assassin should be lucy's ancestor, because i find her *slightly* more interesting than Desmond. Plus it would be quite daring if one of their twists is that Desmond dies.Daystar Clarion said:
My only question is will this be Assassin's Creed III or a spin-off game like Bloodlines? I know there's apparently an AC game in the works for the VITA. I would personally like to see a new assassin. Ezio's had three games in the spotlight now and, from what I've seen of Revelations, he's getting a bit too old to have a fourth. I also hope that whatever new protagonist we get, he/she doesn't get their own trilogy as well. This franchise had gotten better and better with each installment but I felt the Ezio trilogy is getting close to the milking point.
And if my two cents is worth anything, I still think a feudal Japanese setting would be rather interesting.

Wait, wait...
AC, you need to take a chill pill. I love you and all, but you're just so...pushy! I think we need a break.
OT: Yeah, I think we would see a new assassin and a new time period. Perhaps the Black Death is the mysterious thing killing people? Or...genocide? Nazis?
Bam. The speculation. It is done.

ok, i really like the AC games and im looking forward to revelations but now they are over doing it. im sure they can do something else besides this.
I would love an Ubisoft Alliance game, if you know what I mean, or something like a Kingdom Hearts with Ubisoft and Eidos.
Desmond and Sam Fisher? Rayman and Lara Croft? Agent 47 and Ezio? And Garret is a non-playable character that just has badass moments during the whole game without being playable..
Come on, am I the only one that would enjoy this?

There should be an assassin who should carry TWO SWORDS and his fighting should be good with that.
