Well more the Creative director behind Assassin's Creed 3, thinks you're boring. At PAX he said in a interview that World War 2 and Feudal Japan are the two settings fans most want to see a AC game in. Creative director behind Assassin's Creed 3 thinks you're boring for suggesting such things. Yes those settings have been done to death, but not in Assassin's Creed games. I personally think those two settings would be great, but so does early America.

Would you mind providing a link? Because otherwise, this sounds like a perversion of what he was actually saying.

I would agree about world war 2 being done to death at this point but at the same time I wouldn't mind seeing assassin's creed's take on it. As for Japan i guess that would be ok?

Then why not play that one mission in LA Noire? You know the one.

The characters in Feudal Japan would have terrible accents

There was a WW2 mission in LA Noire? Forgive me for not remembering shit all about that game but I can't remember a WW2 level for the life of me.

@laserbolts:

The entire game takes place after WW2. In fact, there are flashbacks to Cole's time in the war.

There are a lot of periods and locations that get no love. You rarely see a game set in colonial America... or America at any time before World War II for that matter. Dude's right.

Ahh yes I know that I thought you were talking about there being a mission where you actually played the game in a WW 2 setting. Sort of like Mafia 2.

Why are we talking about this now? He made that statement like a month ago. He's already clarified what he meant by it and everything.
 
Edit: I haven't played an Assassin's Creed since Brotherhood, but I think Revolutionary War era is going to be freaking great. I've just recently brushed up on my early American history because I had to teach an Early American Lit class. PROTIP: Don't ask your students when Ben Franklin was the president.

@laserbolts:

Well, aren't you, sort of? I imagine you could get out of LA Noire quite a bit of what you'd want in Assassin's Creed: Take Down Them Nazis. I know that would never be the name, but dear god, I wish it was.

I guess yeah but the main thing I think about when wanting assassin's creed in a particular setting is how they would handle the traversal and stealthy aspects of it. I mean you take those things out of assassin's creed and i'm not really sure what you're left with.

Any given Disney movie?

@bighat_logan said:

@Video_Game_King: nope

Why? I said some, not all.

@Video_Game_King: Actually now the more I think about it the more Japan sounds like it would be pretty awesome. Hopping around with a katana ninjaing shit up. Either that or WW2 seems more interesting than what they are going with for AC3. Will have to wait and see how it turns out. The way they are milking this series though i'm sure we will see it all by the end.

Shit guys, Ubisoft is right. I pretty much just go to school or sit arouond and browse the internet/ play games. I AM boring. They coulda said it in a gentler way though. Feudal Japan would be a cool place for an AC game though.

I'm glad they went with the setting they did, I would've been way less excited if it was WW2 or Feudal Japan.

Feudal Japan am boring. Give me Feudal Botswana instead. Or post industrial Bratislava.

Feudal Japan is just so obvious that it wraps all the way around and becomes uninteresting. Everything about is just so "Duh". A stealth game in an unexpected setting like the revolutionary period of American history? Now that perks up my interest, because I want to see how they're going to work with that material. Good on Ubisoft.

Also, most of us are pretty boring, even if that's not even what the guy meant when he said that.

Here's the link for the actual article.

Fuck Feudal Japan and WW2.

I really could not give two shits about early US history, but I also didn't give two shits about renaissance Italy and that turned out well enough.

But freaking Japan and WW2? Because we haven't seen enough of those, why don't we demand they set the next game during a near-future war between America and Russia?

Shame they rather shy away from redefining a 'so called cliche'.

@bighat_logan: He's kind of right.

Also think WWII is too late for stabbing dudes/no serious gunplay. Would have loved japan though.

Just had a cool idea, how about a game set in New York City or a city modelled on New York City.

The Saboteur is basically WW2 Assassin's Creed. It's not very good, mind you.

French Revolution is the one I really want to see.

What a racist!

I was really hoping for French Resistance of WW2. That specific aspect of WW2 has barely been touched.

As someone who didn't suggest either of these locations, they do not think I'm boring.

Wasn't The Saboteur based in France?

I think people only got on the feudal japan boat because it was a rumored location/time period. I was on the boat btw.

sorry for being boring Ubisoft, please still take my money

That article sucks (that's not your fault but it really does). What was he reasoning for saying those settings are bad? It's hard to have an opinion on a person's...well, opinion unless we understand the rationale for the opinion.

As overdone as World War II is, the World War II stage of Clock Tower 3 was pretty crazy.

Ninjas are overused, no one wants to go back to WW2, and I assume there is nothing fun to climb in Egypt.

Dude whatever, even if this quote was taken out of context, he's totally right.

It's true...I am. :(

1880's London/Paris would be bad ass, maybe have Sherlock Holmes in there too.

Ubi, I said the American Revolution was boring and uninteresting the day it was announced. You can't "I know you are but what am I" me months later. Come on, bro.

Nobody wants Assassin's Creed in feudal Japan. They just want a ninja game with Assassin's Creed's engine.

I know that's what we're all thinking but I want to hear straight from the developer.

I feel like Assassins Creed is the kind of games that explore time periods that are otherwise not explored in games. Setting the game in 1944 would break with this idea.

Only setting I would like to see at some point is Tudor England. But that would have to be a spin-off with a new protagonist completely (no Desmond).

Or maybe in the Russian Civil War.
