Well, seems like we're leaving the American Revolution behind and heading for the Caribbean.

I'm never getting my French Revolution game am I?

I was wondering how they were planning to continue the series.
Now the game looks like a nice change of pace for the series, but I wonder if it would not have been better to start a new franchise altogether with the pirate elements.

Honestly, I was always kind of hoping that, even after the events of III, that the series would continue on.
So, for me, a reduced emphasis on the modern day would be a God-send.

I don't mind Modern Day even if I ignore it for the most part. I just dunno pirates are cool enough but..I dunno
AC I and AC II felt really unique to me, they were set in time periods that haven't really been done by big games before (Well unless you count Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis by Paradox) and they were great. I miss the uniqueness, pirates on the Spanish main can and probably will be fun, but they've been done before. I was hoping for something more unique.

Man if they did a Teutoinic Order focused game that'd be pretty cool.

I am hoping for some Naval pvp in this.

Mmmm...
In any case, I agree that the series is at its best when it comes to the historical recreations.

The fact that they're slowly working their way forward to twenty minutes into the future is good. The meat of the series is not the modern era, but the history leading up to it set in the framework of the shadow war it's about. That's not to say things won't eventually shift to Desmond wholesale, but that's well into the future.

NOTE: Talked with a guy at work who actually got his daughter to play the series. She loved it and it increased her interest in history quite a bit. Ubidoft shows it's work.

I think the series is going to shift to the point where Abstergo finally figures out that having people relive the lives of assassins to get the info they need might not be a good idea when those people start realizing that Abstero = Templars. Which leads to a new generation of assassins that finally bring the fight back in balance.

And now for something a bit different, has anyone else read this?

I was puzzled at first by the setting they chose, beyond the fact that the naval battles in ACIII were among the most liked elements of that game, but after reading about the republic of pirates (and remembering a bit about the political climate of the era) everything started to click.

The setting now looks quite appropriate for the series indeed.

Good news man! You will be getting it after all:
Also, it’s amusing how Ubisoft keeps being terrible at preventing the early leak of this kind of announcements.

This was the most joyful entry since AC2! However the combat was still to easy and PC controls was bad as usual... I messed up a few missions because it.

Anyone here play Enter the Gungeon or Binding of Isaac?
