I really hate the idea of a two different games for current and next gen consoles.
10 bucks the Scarlet Pimpernel is either a contact or a nickname for your character
I love that idea. Best of both worlds.
I burst out laughing man, thanks.
Yeah, too few games in New York.
Especially after 1 of the two cities in AC3 was New York.
Wine, cheese.. you know..

2. port last gen game to current gen months later
3. port current gen game to last gen months later

Hopefully graphics get an upgrade. Geometry looks pretty much like ACIV at the moment from these little snippets...

As much as I hate AC's gameplay, I love the setting and story. Really enjoying AC3 at the moment.

French Revolution means a 87.90% reuse of Black Flag's assets. The timeframe is basically the same, so the costums, weapons and wigs can be resused. The setting and achitecture....well they don't even have to model the Eiffel tower.
I understand these proceedings, it's the easy way out. Maybe they can use the extra time to completely revamp the battle system, traversal mechanics/platforming/climbing and bring AC to modern times, because AC is not just stale, it's decaying.

It looks boring compared to all the other, cooler locations it could have been set in. What happened to Ancient Egypt? What about Sengoku Jidai Japan? Why isn't Ubisoft willing to take a risk on these settings? Instead they play it safe with stuff we've already seen before.

yeah i've had enough of all these games based in 18th century paris
It's a similar setting to AC3 and AC4, so my point still stands. Enlightenment-era European architecture is boring.

I see them making the highlight of the game, a chapter with the ''Storming the Bastille''. Jean Pierre firing some cannons and keep R2 pressed to sprint and jump to some wigged soldiers with bayonets and start mass killing them with two button combos.
Yeah, same here. I already really liked the pirate setting of the last game but everything else about it just feels so dull.
Wut? Havana is like Paris's architecture?
Is this some kind of joke I'm not getting or something?
Are you aware that we´re talking about Paris, France and not Paris, Oneida County, New York, USA? I know, insignificant clarification.
I agree that Caribbean Sea=Seine River, and yes Havana, Nassau and Kingston are very similar to Paris, I´ll give you that.

18th century Paris has nothing to do with colonial architecture from the Caribbean at the same time...

Havana is much more interesting than Paris, purely based on the fact that it is Carribean. Also Florence and Rome have done that era before and are its architecture is much more interesting than Paris, yea. Outside maybe of the Notre Dame, and some other churches and cathedrals Paris has a that time. I am not looking forward to climbing churches. Sorry.

Yea duh.
You're aware that there's about 300 years separating the setting of ACII and this one, right? It's a similar period of time as between AC and ACII.

Well, Paris with a new-but-generic-looking assassin doesn't quite capture my imagination as the reveal of Black Flag did.
But I do love the The Scarlet Pimpernel and the The Three Musketeers so it might turn out okay. I hope their lack of ambition with the setting and time period is not reflected in the game systems - we really do need a better combat, traversal and stealth engine.

Enough with Europe and her colonies! Give us Japan or give us death!

And what does that do? Ok you don't have Man'o'wars in ACII I give you that.
Outside of the characteristics of politics with the revolution, that 300 years doesn't change Paris that much for an AC game.
In terms of architecture in past AC games, the monuments, the most interesting like the Pantheon, San Marco Plaza and the Vatican are much older and proceeds specific AC timeframes for at least a few hundred years.

Versailles, man. What the hell are you even talking about?
Anyway, I hope this is the start of a new trilogy a la AC2. Give me ancient regime, revolution and Napoleon.

I eagerly await the PS4 version of the Assassin's Creed series this year. I don't care other people don't like them. They are so much fun with a lot to do even if it is "chore" work. Some people like that.
Also, the multi-player is still the only multi-player I find fun.

Japan has been done to death, though, in similar games. Would rather have a new (and good..) Tenchu game or console Shinobido than let AC become a de facto "ninja game."

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
With call of duty, battlefield, halo, and AC all coming out the same year on new hardware, you think any of them can afford to compromise on how their title looks on new gen?

I want your superpower of being able to judge games based on two early screenshots that don't really show much.
Wait, Battlefield with split versions?

I didn't mean to imply that; I just meant, everyone is planning to launch their AAA brand this year... which is kind of unprecedented.
Better not be cross-gen.
freakin tablets are more powerful now...
Agreed...& they're growing more & more powerful each year as mobile technology advances even faster than ever before.
True!
I don't get it. The games you listed all launched in 2013 - Call of Duty, Battlefield, and AC4. With the exception of Halo, but we're only getting an HD collection anyway.
