It looks the same to me but with new weapons and a new story.

confused by the history...Constantinople got conquered by 1453...its 1511 here....so i think it was Istanbul by then...plus i believe that they had the blue mosque in the background and that was built in the early 1600's....

anybody else got any ideas on this?

Graphically brotherhood was fine so only minor tweaks are needed there and if you mean everything else looks too similar then that's because there isn't a massive progression of time between the games. And obviously gameplay doesn't need to change much.

I think the name constantinople lingered around a long time after its fall, though it was also informally called Stambol well before then, from which Istanbul is derived from.

I think the Mosque in the background is the Hagia Sophia, which was built in 532 AD (In its current form), but converted from an Orthodox church, to a mosque after 1453.

I think the use of what looked like Greek Fire on the ships might not be historical though, I think, it was used exclusively by the long gone Byzantines, and was already falling out of use even by the Fall of Constantinople.

I'm hoping for some of the game to be based in the city in Altairs' time, though I'd prefer seeing Byzantine era, over Ottoman.

Wow that was amazing. They improved the facial animations and I love those bombs.

When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.

The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.

Historic Eras that Video Games Need to Explore

Xfire writes "Worldbuilding is a crucial part of any story. It's not an easy task to create a believable setting with its own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations and then weave a story into the said setting. Luckily, storytellers and video game writers don't always need to create complex settings when we've got history books as thick as Big Chungus.

Historical eras make a fabulous setting for video games. They've already got the world-building nailed, complete with their own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations. Honestly, I don't think I need to justify the fact that historical eras make an amazing setting for video games. If you don't believe me, just go ahead and play the Ghost of Tsushima or any of the Assassin's Creed games."

The first crusade would be pretty sweet. I’d probably enjoy any of those on your list if they were done respectfully. Like not some dork in Portland making a Russian Revolution game.

Benin Empire, Far East, Central America. Games are pretty biased toward Europe, North America, and the Middle East. There is a very big world out there.
