If true (big if), it's probably a retooled Prince of Persia that leaked a few years back. The one that was supposed to be more Shadow of the Colossus like?

If this is true then I am interested. I dont really like boats though, wasnt a fan of them in AC4 but I can suck it up.

Kinda sad. Wanted to see Moscow or Berlin, or Washington DC or Jacksonville. Shit was getting too real though. No one wants to get a trophy for liberating 20 Concentration camps.
Well, I mean, Assassin's Creed itself is a retooling of Prince of Persia: Assassins, so that'd be pretty straightforward.
Ha. Well yeah, I've heard the same. Maybe another setting too.
I don't think they mean that literally so much as embodying some design ideals you see in the game.

That's why we'll get a new butt-slide animation! And sliding races, like Super Mario 64.
They specify progression, so maybe a refined RPG skill system.

The setting makes sense if you play AC:Unity Dead Kings

Wow if true, that sounds amazing. Holy shit.

I can't see the franchise surviving another half assed iteration coming out this year, so I hope they take a break. I'm playing Syndicate right now and I can barely stand the game anymore after 4 hours.
Found the original 4chan thread. There are a few more posts from him where he answers questions.

Sounds good. Probably fake though.

I suspect they want to embrace some more trends from open world games in general.
When the game first came out it was a really fresh take on the concept of how GTA games were structured and turned into something very distinct.
These days it feels a bit old in a landscape filled with other open world games, so revamping the concept again while adapting ideas from other titles makes sense.
A reset/reworking of the series might bring me back in. I swore off the series after AC3, and then again after Black Flag, and yet again after Unity (and so far I've stuck to that, at least).
That's what Rogue is.

By Egypt, they mean AD 1800, correct? \runs
Judging by what Quentyn just dug up, I'm guessing the other setting was Greece?
I didn't think it was possible to be less interested than I previously was with Assassins Creed (if the rumor is true, which seems unlikely). "plays like The Witcher" does not vote confidence in me at all. Now if they said "is even half as well written as The Witcher" that would be a different story, I might actually give a shit. All it means it'll have a large open world with a bunch of random crap to do. I guess the one up side is the series can upgrade from its shit combat system to The Witcher's mediocre one. Having Egypt as a setting is pretty cool though, interested to see which era of Egypt's history they'll place it in.

I've lost track of the AC teams. Which teams made what games? It's not easily identifiable like the COD games.
They're not exactly distinct in the way CoD teams are. There's just some senior staff that works on a particular concept until the entire ubi-blob moves in for production.

Why would the world be 3 times bigger than black flag, but have no navel combat? I don't understand. He prases it like the Nile will be a major part of the world, with cities set up on it like Black flag. Idk. Maybe the river is too narrow for ship combat, or the combat at the time is too primitive to be fun. Just seems weird.

This sounds too good to be true. Black Flag team, Witcher like feel and not rushed? iwantobelieve.gif

I swear no one ever wants to give AC3 credit in the things it did right. The Homestead missions were great.
Well it's still Montreal but it's a B-Team.
Though a LOT of studios around the world (Singapore, Montpellier...) helped developing parts of the game so it's quite difficult to give a precise answer.
Ancient Egyptian naval combat wouldn't be hugely exciting ... I'd expect it would be mostly about boarding other ships.

Hmmm a potential trilogy with the same character again has me excited. Say what you want about the series on the whole, I've never felt as attached to a protagonist as I did to Ezio through his games. I hope this protagonist, if the rumours are true, is equally as likeable.
Black flag was the last AC game I played and I enjoyed it immenselty. missed 3 and unity with no intention of visiting those. I do have a slight interest in syndicate so may visit that title in preperation for this,again if the rumours are true.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Depends on the position. Ubi Montreal is a humongous studio, so it's better to go by the creative directors/writers/producers/narrative directors. Alex Amancio for instance was the creative director of ACR and ACU.

Sounds good outside of him saying the main character doesn't speak much, especially when combined with the idea that they might be hoping for this one to turn into a trilogy.

/v/ has had a ton of shit leaked there accurately over the years including Bloodborne.
Beautiful. One of my 2016 predictions already coming true (potentially)...
