Assassin's Creed for a New Era?

I don't know if I liked Assassin's Creed enough to play another one.... I would hope they'd do something to make it more than one cool thing. 

i just hope they make it better than the first one

The Assassin's creed sequal will actualy take place in the DC Universe I'm told.

Glad to see you getting out there Ryan, proving Jeff aint the only one ;)

As for Assassins creed, i love the idea! i personally was hoping for some medieval action, almost Robin Hood-esque sorta, but this seems still cool.

The idea of playing during the Terror, actually makes me really interested in Assassin's Creed; even though I hated the first game.

So Altair was the one who assassinated Napoleon by slipping Arsenic into his wine for several years?

If your going to photoshop Altair into the painting, atleast make him the same color as the damn painting =p

I still haven't beaten the game! I got it, CoD 4, Mass Effect all at the same time, and I was still working a bit on Bioshock, so I never had much time to play it. And I eventually got so frustrated by how easy it was to bump into ANYONE, and have guards on you when you had to sneak aruond for investigations. Can't wait for some more official stuff though! French revolution would be pretty cool, it could bring some relaly interesting things to the table.

That's kinda weak Jeff, Pachter told you guys a secret and you have to go telling the whole internet? :/   Interesting setting though if it's real. I hope it doesn't use guns now, it would probably ruin the gameplay.

I'd want a decent explanation of Assassin's Creed after the bad ending, before jumping onto a new test subject and a new ancestor's memories to unlock.

Hmmm...

i loved Assassin's Creed and am so glad they're definitely making a second, especially in france; imagine climbing over all that amazing architecture

hopefully there'll be some more creative missions and assassinations so this game can be epic!

don't fluff it Ubisoft

I loved this game, but it will continue from the cliff hanging ending of the original.

One of the best games of 2007. For me it was the best.

I enjoyed the first one even though it was flawed. I am looking forward to this and hope they have a better variety of missions for each level.

Let's hope it's more variable after a few levels.

Oh man, I really hope the main character has a wig. My dream of a having a Zulu-esque game is almost realized!

best idea ever!
Napoleon is Altair's grand,grand, grand,grand, grand,grand,grand,grand,grand,grandson (put thought into the grands 10 of them ca.600 years)
and the creed is actually the revolutionaries, and in the end you end up owning France.
Running through the streets with Napoleon. A gnome with a funny hat.
yey! viva la revolution !

Why, do people keep alluding to the Napoleonic era? Woldn't the "Terror" be a much more interesting setting, and far easier to center an actual game around?

The French Revolution Period is much more well known than 10th century MidEast. I don't see where they'd insert the character. Being an assassin felt right in the first game, but the revolutionary period is more sophisticated and less exotic. I don't see this happening.

I loved Assasins Creed at first, got half way, meh, I dont want to play this anymore.

Altair's spirit would embody the guillotine, dur.

but, there is definitively more blending under the revolution than in 1700 century Japan.
and as a matter a fact 6 people where actually assassinated by an unknown assassin during the revolution.

Maybe, you could play as that chick who stabbed that guy in the bathtub; that newspaper fellow, I can't remember the name of.

Assassin's Creed 3. It's now present day, and your character reveals that he wanted to be captured and put into the animus. It was the *only* way to get close enough to the *real* enemy, and make the big kill. With this assassination... you'll finally end the war!

You heard it here first folks.

This is great news!  Maybe we'll finally find out everything Abstergo was planning.

Although Altair probebly won't be the main character that doesn't mean you won't still play as Desmond in the future and play as one of his other ancestors while in the animus.

LMFAO @ "ARTISTS INTERPRETATION"!!!!!!

That sounds badass...it as always rumored that the sequal would be in another time-frame, but everyone assumed it would be in the far-future of the "real-world" sequences of the original.

Really excited.

HELL YES FRENCH REVOLUTION.

I want to be the guy (or woman) who kills Marat.  That would be awesome:  just stick him with the blade when he is in a bathtub. 

The idea of an 18th Century French assassin intriegs me!

Wait a minute, after beating the first one, I was sure the next Assassin's Creed was going to take place in the future?

He should reconsider changing his attire if he wants to blend in with the crowd.

I wasn't "hoping" for a feudal japan setting- in fact I don't like ninja ideas... feels overdone... despite not being done much- its just the last game set itself up so well for it mentioning Yona Guni (a feudal japanese place) and all. Aswell as time and circumstances of this. I'm surprised they would go in another direction after leading up into another with the last. Its almost like its lost Unity with the transitional elements of the end.

"but I personally find the mental imagery of an Altair surrogate wearing a powdered wig and being all “sacrebleu!” to be way more compelling"

LOL

Finally!  This is the news I've really been waiting for ... even if it's just rumour at the moment.

Completely agree with Duke Togo's comment - a great immersive world which I loved the first time round, but the changing of the character's garb (even with a similar basic character) will be a big thing - will they be able to maintain the continuity having made Altair so iconic in the first game?  I was with Jimbo in thinking it could be South America around the time of the Mayans or something (based off of the runes you see at the end - though maybe that was just generic allusions to the depth of the Templar conspiracy).

The problem with Mayan/Aztec civilization .......  not too many densely packed settlements for good rooftop travel, same goes for the middle ages for those people wanting that period.  1700s France though could be perfect for that.  Political intrigue, soldiers in the streets - sounds a plausible and really interesting setting to me.

Wait, A-Creed in the 1700's?...that better not happen or I'll officially put this on my pass list.

Yo, lol, stop diss'n  the PachMan!

Hmm, this won't resolve the cliff hanger ending will it... >_>

That is great news. Imagine being chased by a handful of French Imperial Guard with muskets. :D :D :D

Or, sitting on a roof with a musket waiting for a target to come by.

This would be a welcomed change for me.

Sounds cool, but if the gameplay is as repetitive as the first i'm not getting it.

French Revolution is a great idea, or even the Russian Revolution.
