I wasn't hoping for anything. I had no expectations of the game at all. Simply my cynical side coming out and commenting on the iterative, boring nature of these kinds of releases. Now, I could sit here and spew out specifics about where I want the series to go, but that would be too personal.
Within the existing Assassin's Creed framework, do you want coop? Why? Mechanically, what elevates the experience, outside of the social aspect?
Why not introduce more dynamic elements into the experience instead? Branching Assassination choices, for example.
We just had one.
I had no idea the youngins still know Black Flag.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of this.
I'm 23 and I've had a Black Flag tattoo since I was 18.

I hope they do, but they probably don't. Years ago I was talking to some gal and we got to talking about music. I mentioned loving Black Flag, Minor Threat, etc etc. all the goodies. She stared at me like I just started speaking gibberish. I'm a little young to be into it myself (30) but I'll be damned if the love of Black Flag isn't strong within' me. ;D

According to some of the extended lore, Haytham's father was an Assassin. That's why he had all of the skills and tools common to assassins and completely foreign to Templars.
I'm assuming that's who the rumor is referencing. Haytham being the previous playable character whose father you'd play as.

I'm done with this series. It's getting stale and I feel like its been milked to hell and back. I feel the same way about Call of Duty.

Sounds good to me. Though I wish it was more about assassinations like the first one was....you know since your an assassin and all.
Not until it bombs
Well shit. I thought we were getting tired with the annualization of the franchise, but I gotta admit that I'd definitely want to play an open-world sailing Assassin's Creed in the Caribbean.
That's actually kind of the genius of the franchise. The core concept of the setting is that it can take place in any historical setting Ubisoft wants, which means there's almost no limit to how many games they can make before things get stale. The only reason I ignored Revelations was because I was done with Ezio. I imagine it would take place around 1713?

People always say this when discussing possible future locations for AC. If that many open world, action adventure games set in japan/asia exist, feel free to share them with the rest of us.

It's an open area
Always the same episode after episode. With added area and details and activities.
Second game had Osaka. Third game had Okinawa. 5th will have 5 cities (so this one plus 4 others ones)
Thing of the undergroud, roofs, and " dunjeons " and other interios you can't see here
This is how I feel!
An Assassin's Creed game built around the Naval stuff from AC3 instead of just shoving it off to the side besides like 2 missions would be fantastic, it was really the most solid part of the game. Though I want more assassin things in the game, AC2 was a nice mix of old and new, AC3 really didn't touch on any of it at all.

I think I'm ok with this. Haven't played ac3 yet though. I hope it was good.
So that's a discontinued forklift simulator, a gta/yakuza mashup and a tiger brawler.
All of which are excellent, none of which are comparable. All three are modern day (no, kenzan does not count) and none of them share AC's movement/melee gameplay focus.
Seems like a kneejerk reaction to a problem that doesn't exist.

Bonus points to Ubi if they have Henry Rollins as a secret NPC performing some of his awful stand-up material.
