Yeah, I was wondering that as well. I just don't know which language they would pull it from exactly.

I'm sure we'll get 2 more games in America before AC4 anyway.

I am thoroughly enjoying Revelations, but absolutely could not stand AC 1, hopefully this game just improves on the climbing mechanics as that was pretty much my main gripe with Revelations, and AC1`s repetitive nature. Have not played AC2..should i give it a go?

Given that he's native american couldn't his name just be "Flying Eagle"?
Probably some Algonquian language

Yes.2 is probably the best.
Why in the world would you play Rev before ACII?

Probably from one of the nations from the Iroquois Confederacy.
I would wager Senacan or Mohawkian (if that's the correct usage).

He's probably one of those baffling people that skip cutscenes and only care about "gameplay"
That would be the english translation, its not like Native Americans spoke english
I'd count on it, actually.
Well, it would be in the native tongue. So, if one presumes it's Iroquois Indians, then the language follows. And since the Iroquois spoke many different dialectics, they could simply just choose one.

I'm hoping this game achieves the 'perfect mix' of AC1 and AC2 (et al) gameplay.
AC had more open mission design, but nothing to do outside those missions. You could choose however you wanted to approach the actual assassinations and complete them any number of ways, but you always had to do the same sequence of events before-hand and after-wards.
AC2 made the missions much more scripted and linear, and the rest of the games followed suit. The assassinations were much less interesting and multifaceted, but on the plus side, you had a lot of extra stuff to do around the missions.
Give me the big, free-form missions of the first game with all the gameplay enhancements and extra activities of the second game, and you'll probably have one of the best action/adventure games of this generation.

You're not American, so...
You don't like running down corridors with 50 cigarettes to shoot...?
don't worry, Desmond's still in
Gotta wait for AC3: Retribution and AC3: Revengence in 2013 and 2014.

Assassin's Creed III is supposed to be the end of the current storyline.
Ubisoft has also said they will let the series rest a little after this. But, we'll see.

Desmond's still going to have a major role in the game. I wouldn't be shocked if most of the third act was dedicated to wrapping up the whole 'end of the world' deal in the present day.

Yeah, this sounds awesome. Can't wait for more details. Hopefully they make some substantial gameplay changes this time around.
I fully expect Desmond's story to finish in an "Assassin's Creed III-2" in 2013, followed by a huge series "reboot"/AC4 for next gen consoles in 2014. There is no chance Ubi will sit on AC while it continues to sell 5 million + yearly.

I hope a Peruvian flute band does the soundtrack.
They'll follow it up with Assassin's Steed, a Robot Unicorn Attack clone for iOS with "Venice Rooftops" as the song.

It wouldn't make any sense, cause it's not going to be set in Peru.

This could not be true at all.

Wise choice.
Why is that surprising exactly? that's the trademark of their order. white assassin robes and hidden blades.
If he's truly native american... where'd the bloodline tracing back to Ezio come from? I could just about see something travelling via the conquistadors.
Mildly surprised this ancestor isn't female, actually; female Assasins are well-established in the series and there's no real *requirement* for Desmond's entire bloodline to me through male heirs. Although I guess from a storyline point of view they might claim that there's an Animus problem with embodying someone not of your basic body shape.
Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.
I fully expect the game to end with us realising that
Desmond is *himself* an animus recreation, controlled by us. Assassin's Creed 4 will be an ARG with a game element, such that the real physical player is a character in the storyline.

Probably Cree, since its the only tounge that really exists anymore.
Really? Of all the languages?

I wouldn't have a problem with a female assassin, but I don't know why you'd be surprised that this one isn't female... I mean, it's not as though there's any reason it should be, or would make more sense to be.
As for the line of ancestry, the character is supposedly half-native, half-european (ie, colonist). So the bloodline could have travelled over, found a native wife/husband, etc..
The assassin character in the other games look like they fit into the world. Anyone walking around in an outfit like that (sketchy looking hood covering face) during the American Revolution would stick out like a sore thumb.
Also wondering how well a game where you are killing the colonists will play out.

Assassin's Cree?
Honestly, Altair is the only one that ever looked like he fit in there. Watching Ezio try to "blend" is a joke.
The design is too complex for my tastes too, but I'm waiting to see it in action and in the kind of setting and gameplay they choose before I judge. The franchise has been steadily transitioning into a more combat-focused one than stealth anyways.
