    All I know is that I have zero interest in a Japan/China AC. Ninja games are like WWII shooters to me at this point. 
     
     
    Also, I don't really give a shit at all about playing in modern day as Desmond. I liked Ezio way more as a character.

    if he's Indian in the same way the Prince of Persia is Persian I'd ok with that.

    What's wrong with an actual Native American protagonist? Is that somehow less ideal?

    I like the idea of him at least being a Native American, I was expecting him to be an all-American world saving macho-man! :D But don't care much for the setting to be honest, that's an interest thing though. Don't like the look of him to be fair, hope that gets changed to a degree.

    The idea is interesting, but that would most likely mean that some of the fundamentals of the gameplay will have to change I think, there weren't that many large walled in cities with big architecture in North America at the time as far as I know.

    @deskp: That's the thing. I'm not sure there was a ton of huge structures during the early colonial days of America.

    Which makes me wonder if THAT'S how the series will renew itself; make the verticality and established mechanics scarce in favor of developing new and different elements for the series. Of course this is all just speculation, but aren't we all just spitballing at this point?

    Hey guys, remember how when AC2 was announced everyone thought it was a horrible idea for it to take place during the renaissance? .

    Who said that was a bad idea? Stop making shit up.

    Err, well...I did.

    It turned out fine, though. ACII ended up becoming one of my all-time favorites. Maybe ACIII will be the same? Idk? I just hope it's better than Revelations at least.

    I really wanted it to be set in china but this is fine. I hope they keep the animus out of it though.

    Considering how the story is played out with the glyph puzzles and all it's evidence, especially the co-ordinates in that Leonardo DLC all pointing to a Battlefield in the US, setting the third game in the US during the Independence War makes far more sense than going to the far-east for the sake of that idea being awesome. I do hope the modern day team go to the US so the story rounds up nicely.

    There might not be much city-structure to jump around on but that doesn't mean it can be exciting still. Look at 1992's Last of the Mohicans movie from the French & Indian War (1754 to 1763). The characters in that film were always running and jumping and leaping through the wild terrain of northeastern colonial America and Canada. If this rumor is true, and it looks like it might be since there were some images form Game Informer recently popping up online, I'd be pleased.

    Not really up on my history but the Assassins have to be the English and the Temp's the Americans? Seeing that in one of the other games it was stated that George was a temp?

    Wow even though i'm English it's quite surprising they would bring a game out saying the Americans are the "bad guys".

    @Shun_Akiyama: Ezio didn't speak english. And, to my knowledge, neither did Altaïr.

    They mentioned, within the games, that the Animus was filtering and translating the languages for Desmond to understand. The translations were not perfect, though, so that was how they explained the bits of Italian that never got translated in some of the dialogue.

    The animus even features subtitles, because when I turned on the subtitles...Desmond actually references that he can see the subtitles.

    The animus gives the designers ALOT of freedom in explaining things. Like the HUD, subtitles, the characters speaking English, etc.

    They never been entirely accurate with the cities, they just needed to have the feel and some landmarks to distinguish em.

    So I don't see a problem with it not being urbanized enough.

    @RobKenno: I believe George Washington was an Assassin, and not a Templar. They might have just hinted at that, and not said it though.

    I think, as far as they've done before, the countries/governments are not entirely one or the other...but divided between the two because they've both infiltrated positions and ranks in every government. So, America is not going to be a Templar country. It'll just wind up being another battleground for the secret war between the Assassin's and the Templars.

    Mmm your right about it just becoming a battle ground. Still according to this

    For awhile there I was like, pfft not true I doubt this will be the new setting. Then i saw the newer cover, and holy shit I want that game (I was already getting the game any way).

    Does make me wonder how they are going to work a lot of it out, mechanically at least, but maybe the change is a good idea, because we did climb tall stuff for 3+ games in a row.
