Where the Europeans beat themselves only to then call themselves American and then say they beat the English when in fact they were all Europeans to begin with? Right ok now we got that out the way my next question is...

Why the HELL would they set this game during that timeline?? Not buying this what a joke.

irepbtown4440d ago

The first Assassins Creed is still the best.
Doubt any AC will surpass the quality of it. Amazing story, brilliant graphics for its time, and bloody addicting.

I hope they can repeat the quality. AC2 & Brotherhood I wasn't too fond of.

Shang-Long4440d ago

irepbtown... the 1st was great but got boring quick. for me Ac 2 was way better than 1.

TekoIie4440d ago

Brotherhood and revelations were about the story and revelations has one of the best endings in gaming so I'm happy :D

saladthieves4441d ago

Awwww...look, he ran out of bubblies.

TekoIie4440d ago

You sir are epic and mean! Free bubs for you

CaitSith4440d ago

So you're okay with buying another AC game set in Ezio's timeline? I, for one, am tired of that setting. Having it set in late 18th century America is a breath of fresh air. I'll be buying this one for sure.

"TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION"

TekoIie4440d ago

Thing is we knew Ezio and were finishing the story on a character that we don't know but the new gameplay will really change things up .

Lord_Sloth4440d ago (Edited 4440d ago )

You mean when a group of people got tired of the UK's bossy attitude and put 'em in their place? Yeah, that's the 1.

Backstory for AC is that America was founded by the Templars, possibly as a way to get away from the Assassins. I'm glad to see a new face. Ezio's 3rd game was stale.

DanSolo4440d ago

On your first point....

There were many empire's and lot's of colonialism going on in the old days, it amazes me that people focus only on the British Empire's faults. Try looking into history and you will see that for all it's faults it was one of the better empires and treated the people it conquered a LOT better than most of it's rivals (French, Spanish, Dutch, ect).
lol had to point it out as SOOOO many people miss that part what with it being fashionable to believe things back to front and inside out! lol

On your second point I agree that it sounds like a nice fresh setting for the series. I for one like the idea of dipping into the history of The American Revolution and will be equally happy playing on either side of the conflict!

Lord_Sloth4439d ago

Please note that I said UK and not just Britain.

Eamon4440d ago

Well the new Assassin is a native American and not European.

The American Revolution definitely wasn't the most popular setting but it will still be a breath of fresh air. Why? The environments are extremely different from AC1, AC2, ACB and ACR. The last 4 games featured high buildings and narrow streets. America is mostly raw land. So think of Red Dead Redemption type of locations in an Assassin's Creed game. Meaning, this time we'll be climbing things of nature more than buildings.

THESONYPS34440d ago

Its gonna be the best Assassins creed by far, I cant wait to finally get out of europe and go in a nice setting. Kinder like alot older red dead redemption setting I guess but more forest :D

ZippyZapper4440d ago

OmegaSaiyanX you could have just said "I hate America"

Blacksand14440d ago

The Templars change there name to Free Mason and went in to hiding because King George tried to kill them off so they left Europe to come to the new world called America. Now the founding fathers was Free Masons George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin was in a Secret cult and Friends with the King of France that how the French came in the war. The war was for the America to be free from England rules and the take over for the Templars, I mean Masons that's they name now you can see symbols around Washington D.C, The statue of Liberty that the French gave us and some of the powerful people are Free Mason right now the country being ran by them.

I'm unsure of how climbing will work in this time period, I mean Italy had plenty of buildings of both size and scale to climb but when I think of the American Revolution all that comes to mind are battlefields.

DFogz4440d ago

Battlefields, church towers, bell towers, capitol buildings, not to mention plenty of forestry and the new ability to climb trees.
I think they'll do pretty well with the climbing in this one, especially in the woods.

dktxx24440d ago

The developers took a lot of liberties with building height in the first two games. They'll do the same for this one.

Eamon4439d ago

Now that you mention it, you're right. Buildings weren't that high in those days, especially in the Middle East.

Fkabbz4441d ago

That's actually a bow in all those shots. Not an "Indian spear"

r214441d ago

i love snowy areas. another game to add to my list.

Nozzle4441d ago

Why would Redcoats be the templars, America is a bigger place surley the Americans would be the templars and because the "templars" won the war it wiped most of the Assassins (redcoats) out which would link onto how in the present day theres hardly any Asssassins. Aren't we supposed to be seeing now the decline of the Assassins and the rise of the templars now were getting closer to the present.

I just kind of hate how everytime theres a war with America in games the other team is always the bad guys.....I get the russians and the germans but the British.....really.

omi25p4441d ago

Which is a reason im uninterested in this game. There is already enough racism between America and Britain With the Revolution being a big part of the arguments. All I can see this doing is fuelling the fire.

ronin4life4441d ago (Edited 4441d ago )

Washington and many (if not all) of the founding fathers in real life were supposedly free masons, which many conspiracy theories say was a continuation of the Templars at that point.
So historically speaking, the Americans should be the templars.

Nozzle4441d ago

@omi25p I know right, you know what people are like....I'm not bothered about this because I'm British I'm more annoyned that it dosen't make sense with the story. If the British were mostly Assassins fighting back at the templars and they lost making the templars more powerfull and controling in the world then it fits with whats happening in the present.

Can you imagine the online....arguments between Americans and British gamers

I thought the Assassin was netural but obviously not when on the main box art he's over a dead redcoat he's just killed

@ronin4life....Agreed.....aga in our history should be taken into account aswell, it makes more sense that America would be the templars with the whole Illuminati group/freemasons.

mynameisEvil4440d ago

I'd like to point out that, during the Revolution, Britain = bad guys. Why?

Because they treated the colonists like absolute shit. Taxed them to hell, passed terribly restrictive laws, etc. The Brits looked down on the Colonists, overall, too. During that time, the Colonists were simply treated as inferior.

omi25p4439d ago (Edited 4439d ago )

What you've just described is what America is like to day.

Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.

Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩

How did redfall not make the cut.

Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.

My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.

Killer2020UK274d ago

I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.

Rimeskeem274d ago

I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.

closed_account273d ago

Perfect. 👌👌

I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.

The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.

mastershredder274d ago (Edited 274d ago )

Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.

raiden_188274d ago

The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.

RPGer273d ago

Kingdom Hearts tend to present half peaceful areas and most of them are amazing.

'Assassin’s Creed III': Ten Years Later

With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.

Ten years later, we miss the old you, Assassin's Creed.

Popsicle548d ago (Edited 548d ago )

I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.

On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
