ACII was so fucking good in every way.
On the bright side, Kyd not working on AssCreed 3 meant we got this fantastic boss theme in Darksiders 2.

Fight Club is the best track in AC3, in my opinion

BS?.
Black Flag is not IV, and IV will be announced next year?, I'm not sure if I understand it right.

Should I just skip 3 and maybe look forward to this one ?
Same, what is this Assassins Creed 7? I've beaten all of the previous console games, but I'm just not sure about this one. AC3 was decent, but it was a bit long. With next gen around the corner I don't think this will be a day 1 for me, other titles have me more interested for next gen at the moment.

I hope I can go to the beach in this game.
Damn, i have this on Steam (i didn't even remember getting it), i'll get around to it.
The OST sounds great.
EDIT: Around 1:40 i hear some Philip Glass.

Well, this now stinks of "planned leak".
Anywho, using the "IV" moniker is a huge mistake. I understand using it for a character switch, but it's devaluing the franchise.

As someone from Nassau, not sure to be excited or not.

It would be cool if it really was all open world with no load times between islands, cities and water..but I suppose thats not gonna happen.
And it doesn't change the fact that the core gameplay is getting stale.

So there's an event today (Wednesday) where all this will be revealed? What time?
Also, would be great if Black Flags was an AC3 spinoff, not AC4 -- and that AC4 is the Russian revolution (or some other period) one. Would be consistent with what they've done so far with the numbering (though, one could argue that the numbering was based on main character, not period, but I like the period reason more).

Nah, I still get excited for them, but I can't be completely interested anymore until they decide to let their imaginations run wild and go full fantasy.

I would, if not for:
1. Pirate crap.
2. Haytham's father.
People liked the sailing portions. I thought they were well done, but I'm playing Assassin's Creed not Pirate's Creed. I want to climby-stabby not saily-swimmy. I also don't give a crap about Haytham or his father.
That map looks legit. /sadface
The map is interesting, one part of me would love a Windwaker like open world to sail in with ports and islands to visit like the smaller missions in AC3, but another part knows it will just be an expanded menu tha was in AC3; but at least the sailing is sticking around which was the best thing to come out of AC3.
I imagine it is numbered because it is the start of a new story arc or something, the numbered titles have always used a new protagonist, and I'm fine with that as I really wasn't into Connor.
To be honest, I'm actually excited for the series again, AC3 and its general world, story, and the steps it took backwards compared to previous titles kinda bummed me out on the series; but taking one of the best parts and making a game around it could be really sweet.
Still waiting for Victorian London or similar location, at this point it seems less and less likely, I wonder if there will be another tie-in Vita game.

I'll be curious to see if this still has the free-running stuff.
If there isn't ample opportunity to make the most of that, I may well be out.

What's good about this is they can finally get rid of all that traversal stuff and the last remnants of those assassinations that we all hated and start focusing on those clumsy, clumsy naval battles instead. Really understand the heart of what people want from an AC game.

Did we just become best friends?!
I'll be a ninja and you can ironically be a pirate.
This has the potential to be great. Hope they don't fuck it up.
Just looking at the map makes me excited. Hope we have the freedom to sail to any town/port and little island whenever we want. I also hope there's a dynamic weather system aswell like a thunderstorm. That would be glorious.
Imagine having to sail through a huge storm and you're struggling to get to the nearest port. You have to hold it out as the water hits your boat.

game needs ghosts, voodoo, krakens, the guv' virgin daughter and all sorts of crazy shit to even get passable mention.
Tyranny of Washington has a much better "setting" than vanilla III.
the "IV" is damage control after Revelations took well deserved shit.
popcorntime.gif when we get news about the current days parrallel story or possible lack of it.
Worst thing is that I'll probably think about getting it, if only to feed my new Next-Gen Overlord console. Sighhhhh.

Cuba, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, but only Haiti from Hispaniola and no Puerto Rico? Damnit, 17th century San Juan would be amazing. I totally want to climb around El Morro and San Cristobal, the fortresses (still) guarding the bay. There are also really cool Robin Hood style stories about the pirate Cofresi from my family's home town of Cabo Rojo in the southwest (to be fair, he lived much later than the time of the game).

Sailing was supposed to be one of the good things about 3, right?
they really need to chill out with this series for at least a couple years

Please have a personality... please have a personality...
God I see why they drew out Ezio over so many games, Alteir and Conner were just so bland personality wise which is a shame since their settings could have really made some characters to shine.

I'm still sorta hoping for AC setting in Netherlands 'Golden (17th)Century'. Think about it:
- cities like Amsterdam, Haarlem, Alkmaar, Utrecht & Leiden were all booming and very close to each other.
- A'dam was one of the most multicultural trade centres of the world. VOC was founded as the first multinational corporation with shareholders.
- Protestants from Belgium and Germany were pouring.
- Windmills were suddenly erected everywhere as cheap sources of energy, starting up a network of industrialized areas with immense output.
- Netherlands had a monopoly on trade with Japan.
- There were a shitload of scientists/philosophers/painters doing groundbreaking work (Grotius, Descartes, Huygens, Spinoza, van Leeuwenhoek, Hals, Rembrandt, Bol, Vermeer, Potter, etc) which could function as interesting characters around the protagonist.
... But a AC in the Carribbean sounds pretty cool too =)

I don't usually play games just for the soundtrack except for Nier and Hotline Miami. This might be an exception, too.

Hopefully they flesh out the Wii U features in that version. Wasnt a fan of how they handled inventory in AC3.

I'm still flabbergasted at the bitching about yearly sequels and AC3. Maybe your backlogs are too big and can't keep up? I love these games and as long as they're still good (they are), why complain? Oh, because YOU don't think they ARE good. ShirleyThatsnice.gif.
Oh my that's amazing. I guess I will have to get in to this series at some point eh?

AC III was a pretty big misstep for the series, and Connor is without a doubt the worst protagonist out of the three, so I'm glad they're ditching him and the boring colonial setting.
I'm still not happy with the annualization of the series though.
