OH SHIT! Ryan just said somethin like this on the bombcast and I think it'd be a fucking cool idea.
Like Desmond's dad was secretly an modern-day assassin, which ties into all this lineage stuff, and had to hide it from his family.
Desmond's playing as him through the Animus, and there's a load of big revelations n shit.
Maybe his dad lead him to Abstergo somehow, knowing that he'd take them down or something?
 
I think that'd be awesome. Also I kind of don't want them to make it Desmond in modern day... It just doesn't feel as creative as the other games, I dunno.

What if Desmond's dad is a Templar and Desmond has to assassinate him within the animus?  Desmond is like "WTF!?" and jumps out of the animus and Desmond's crew (Kristen Bell, British guy and alternative chick) are like "Desmond you have to do this to save the world" and Desmond says "Why don't I just kill him in real life" and runs out the door to take down his old man in some city in modern America?!
 
*head explodes*

You get to kill Kurt Cobain.

John Wilkes Boothe should be one of Desmond's relatives. Playing the Lincoln assassination would be super dope

I do not think that would work to well. The entire game is based on assassination. Old world stuff. Like we have been getting. Jumping to maybe like the 90s Would be stupid and boring. And just another FPS "

for me it's really hard to make a modern assassins creed without turning it on a random third person shooter, i mean everyone have guns now or in the 90's what would Desmond (or his dad) do with blades and hidden blades against uzis and 9mm.?..

YOU TRIED TO MAKE ME KILL CLINTON

It would be more of a late 70's or early 80's thing.  Desmond would have been alive in the 90's so there wouldn't be any genetic memory to work off.

If you're going to play in the 90s, then why not just play as Desmond?

I liked the idea that at the end of the game, everything cuts to black and you wake up as another dude coming out of the animus who was using it to experience Desmond's life.

No. I firmly believe that Assassin's Creed where you play most of it in modern day is dumb. Why? Remember in ACII when you fought those Abstergo guys? What kind of stupid ass evil corporation arms its guards with plastic rods instead of guns?  
 
Modern cities aren't built like olde ass cities, and modern guards would be equipped with automatic weapons, and thus Desmond (or papa Desmond) would be killed in seconds.

" @Korwin:
No I'm saying you're Desmond, on the animus, living through someone's memories. Except instead of being someone from a hundred years ago it's someone from like 20 years ago. 
Then near the end you go meet his dad in the real world, except he's now like 50 years old and a retired assassin. WOOOOOAAAAAH!

And then that dude wakes up and meets Morpheus, and saves Zion. "

Totally uninterested in playing any AC game primarily set in the 20th century or later.  I don't think they'll make that mistake.

Did anyone here play a little game called Batman Arkam asylum?

They should totally do this, but make it a dating sim.  You play as Desmond's dad, going to bars and then try to pick up a chick.  If a guy starts talking to a girl your after you can totally assassinate him to the horror of everyone in the room  and stuff his body in a dumpster out back.  Don't worry though, you can hide for thirty seconds and walk back into the same bar with no consequence. 
 
The final scene of the game should show Desmond's dad reaching climax, when suddenly you're thrust into the 3rd person perspective of a sperm, having to carefully guide it and out run the other baby sperms. 
 
As extra DLC, you play as a seven year old Desmond, playing in his room, until you must respond to your dad's calls and get him yet another beer out of the fridge.  While he uses your t-shirt to pop the bottle cap off, you can listen to him aimlessly ramble on about the glory days of being an assassin and how the younger generation are going to run the profession into the ground.

I'd like that, but I still want the series to end with Desmond straight-up ending Abstergo with his new-found assassination powers.  Playing as his dad half the game and learning a lot of secrets about the origins of Abstergo and where secret Abstergo HQs are and the like, and the second half is Desmond acting on this information and putting an end to the Templars would be cool.

at this point I would trust the devs to do what they thought was best. I mean they've proven to be pretty competent so far. But I would prefer a more ancient time.

Cause that is why it all boils down to. I wanna use knifes and old time stuff. That is what Assassians creed is about. Not sniper rifles and silenced guns.  "

" @I_smell:   So no animus at all in AC3?  Dunno if they could pull that off as it's a pretty central part of the series. "

Let's skip his dad and go back another generation, and have it be his grandpa fighting the Nazis in World War II? 
 
(I'm still focused on this since they announced that Hitler had the apple in one of the Subject 16 videos.) 
 
The game's climax is a Splinter Cell: Conviction interrogation (Ubisoft owns both games, not that farfetched) of Adolf Hitler. I want the game to end with you fucking brutalizing him as you try to obtain the locations of all the different Pieces of Eden. This actually makes sense, however; as anyone who's seen an Indiana Jones movie knows, Hitler was obsessed with "the occult" and spent a lot of resources searching for religious artifacts. Sound familiar, anyone? 
 
This, of course, would require the game to be the third of four or five games. Games four and five are BOTH Desmond fighting the Templars, and...well, maybe one last trip in the Animus between the two games. 
 
Depending on your interpretation of what we got in the credits from AC: Bro, this isn't completely implausible.
