Thankfully Egyptian cities have tons of buildings and close rooftops to parkour across
Not if they let us go sandboarding and incorporate a full gameplay system for it.
I still don't get it why it's problematic. Considering North Africa had and have even today large variety of skin colours, how some people can think Ancient Egypt could be only rapresented with one skin colour? I mean, it's pretty obvious that there were black and mediterranean egyptians even back then, and that's because the nile was populated from north to south. Probably Ancient Egypt was a better multiethnic civilization than United States will never be.
EDIT: ok, maybe the last part was a little bit an hyperbole, sorry for that
I know, this is a different era, some I'm wondering what they will do to differentiate. Not just blacks were slaves back then.

So what means of fast travel are they planning to implement into the game to make this work?
Seriously, enough with the map sizes. As someone who've spent most of the weekend fucking driving from one side of Mafia 3 map to the other side I honestly can't fathom anymore why game marketeers think that "world size" should always be bigger than in previous game(s).

this could be great

Yes i'm sure they'll just have a huge empty yellow square for you to run in.

Nah. Imagine a vast wasteland with tombs and spots of treasure found inside. Some of the best loot, but the greatest danger. Will you have enough water to make it to the next oasis?
Potential. Will Ubisoft capitalize? Find out next time on, Streamline My AAA Game!

Why do open world developers always focus on the "size of the world"?
You can still have a really good open world game on a small map that has a lot of variety and better stuff to do.

If this is anywhere near true as far as level design and they drop the for honor combat system in there, I'm right there with you.

Everything there sounds fantastic, except I hope Ubisoft kept in mind ancient egypt was a very lush and vibrant setting. More jungle greens and waters, not just brown and rock/sand deserts.
It's a statement that means a lot or nothing depending on who says it.
If Rockstar says, "GTV6 will have map 2 times the size of GTAV", I'd be REALLY excited because they put in an insane amount of detail to every inch of their maps, and now spread across 2 times the size map, would be awesome.
If Ubisoft says it, though, it doesn't mean much. Watchdogs 2 had a pretty small map and it still felt pretty dead, so a map being soooo much bigger in their next games means nothing, it'll just be as dead as all their other open world games.

Hopefully Pyrmaids(Tombs) to raid. Id love if the series returned to the puzzle tombs of AC2

This is what I am hoping for as well. The most fun I have had in this series were the tombs in AC2. This series was such a fresh evolution of Platformers last gen, but it's sort of tried to establish itself as "something different" but I feel it is worse off for it. Granted... I enjoyed the Murder Mystery puzzles that Unity introduced as a decent replacement, but I'd llike to also explore some puzzle riddled tombs as well. The idea of booby trapped sarcophagus' and the traps leading up to finding it as a new method of puzzle solving intrigues me.

Amazing.
This actually remind me of Monster Hunter. Forgot the name of the monster though.

Truth. I was really excited for FC Primal because I thought it would be 'dawn of mankind' sort of thing but there were still civilised encampments etc.
Not that I'm expecting such an ancient Egypt, but to actually capture the 'early civilization' mysticism would be amazing.

Come on Ubi, please break your cycle and give us a main line Assassin's Creed game with a solo female assassin, that's all I'm asking for.
Former Slave, access to royalty, incarcerated for murder, Jewish Protagonist, Perchant for Alternative history. We are getting Moses arent we.

Black Flag remains the best in the series, no shock it was the least relevant title in terms of the overall story of the series, which turned into shit many years ago

I think that might be a bit too far, even for AC. Though I certainly won't complain if they do.
You mean Juno?
There is stuff happening in the comics, but its some of the biggest fucking drek I've ever seen.
My only hope to make modern day even anything worth while is have Juno win, have a time skip so the modern day mirrors the past, and the reason for going back to the past is to find a way to kill her.
Because holy fucking shit the modern day has become the actual fucking worst.
Because size gives the illusion of more content, which translates to more bang for your buck to the average consumer.
When we see the scalding reception games recieve for being less than 10 hours for 60 dollars USD, its understandable why this trend exists and why linear games have almost been scraped from the AAA side.

Made by the black flag peeps??
Oh, I'm definitely in. Replaying the game for the 3rd time so I can finally take out every legendary ship, and still enthralled by the location, art design, ship combat and MC. Edward kenway is easily my favourite MC in the AC series.

That would be pretty weird given the actual history of ancient Egypt.
Protag will most likely be brown skinned.

If it's being made by Black Flag Team, then it might end up being another amazing Entry to the series
Try turning off the in-game vsync. Vsync temporarily locks the game to 30 whenever the framerate stutters even a little bit.

It's somewhat a reboot for the franchise, right?
I hope it's an RPG.

It wouldn't be unheard of, especially if this takes place during Roman Egypt.

Soft reboot, keeping everything before but starting a new chapter with Juno etc.
