I'm hoping that we do get one in the present some time soon...

I assume you'll play as Desmond. I just hope they don't make it ultra-modern, because then it'll just be Splinter Cell.

:lol: Yeah.

I seriously hope they don't do the American revolutionary war. I'm down with it being the US, but I've never been a fan of the revolutionary war's setting.

Playing as Desmond sounds the most interesting to me personally. :agreed:

Well, it will have to be after the Middle Ages since then we would be going back in time again. Feudal Japan is actually a setting very very very commonly visited in games. And I'm not talking about games only released in Japan.

Victorian England doesn't seem like a very action-packed era. Especially if it's supposed to be the end of the trilogy. :ugh:

World War I? The era INBETWEEN WW1 and WW2?

Feudal Japan would be fucking SWEET.

Ton of problems with that, though. While the sword fighting styles in the middle east in AC1 and in Italy in AC2 were similar to fencing in that a single sword fight can take a long time, Japanese sword fights are designed to kill the person in a single strike (very little blocking), oftentimes on the draw.

The main character could not be a descendent of Desmond's since Desmond is of middle Eastern/European heritage and the only people living in feudal Japan were... well, Japanese.

Plus, the conspiracy elements wouldn't work in feudal Japan when they have the entire conspiracy after the crusades being focused in Europe and then in Europe and North America. The game couldn't keep the conspiracy elements working in Japan.

Although an assassin game in feudal Japan would be awesome, they couldn't do it without destroying the storyline.

What games have been in Feudel Japan? I know obvious stuff like Dynasty Warriors, and Genji but aside from those I can't really think of anything :shrug: I think Japan would be awesome to do a stealth game in

I can think of a bazillion games. The oldest I can think of are from the NES such as Samurai Showdown, Time Commando, and so on.

There are a TON of Samurai games such as:
Way of the Samurai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And tons of ninja series such as:
Tenchu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (with about 14 games in this series)

I can think of at least twenty more off the top of my head.

Also, I'd be shocked if we didn't have some Desmond action going on in this next game, given how we were playing him more often in AC2. Plus, the animus stuff has been being used as a training program...

And they've been referring to Assassin's Creed as a trilogy, so it would suck if you never got to fight with Desmond in the present and see how the millenia of conspiracy came to a head.

Argh, I'm pissed at Infamous right now. I bought it with Red Dead Redemption because it's cheap now and got rave reviews. I can't figure out why people liked it so much. The controls are clunky, the story is lame, the voice actors are comically cheesy, running around the city feels a lot less sandboxy than it probably should, and the gameplay doesn't even start to feel entertaining until you unlock a lot of new abilities. I was placated by how awesome RDR has been, but despite taking my time and dragging it out as long as I could within reason, I'm pretty close to the end, I think.

InFamous is awesome. One of the best games on the PS3. :yesway: I'd give it a 9.4 out of 10.0. I've played through the game from beginning to end three times now.
