[QUOTE=Egevened;34953231]the reason the assassins creed games have so good fanbase is because it was based on european history - something that is rare for AAA games.
only the intellectual layer of americans enjoyed it. it seems to change now, we'll learn if for the better or worse[/QUOTE]
Not even close
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;34953679]ezio and altair was never about stealth.[/QUOTE]
Ezio maybe, but can you really say that Altair was never about stealth?
AC is very popular among the "frat boy 360" crowd
I don't think that being based on European history makes it any more appealing to the "intellectual layer" of Americans, and less so to the rest of the "mass of retardation"
If that IGN video is accurate than George Washington is undoubtedly going to make an appearance, Washington was also revealed to possess an Apple of Eden during one of those Subject 16 "Find the Apple in the portrait" minigames. Anyone else hoping this comes up in game?
So, do you guys know anything about the revolutionary war other than what modern politicians wank over the founding fathers? It really is a good time, one of the first times that a lot of modern philosophy was put into practice. The US is to that kind of liberal ideas as the Soviet Union was to Socialism, a realisation of the theoretical values.
[quote]We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.[/quote]
This isn't just some freedom 'murrica speech, it is solid as a rock. The rights of man, governing by consent, acceptable suffering versus designed despotism, these guys knew what they were talking about. Just like previous AC games gave information about the Crusades and Renaissance, hopefully this will give something about the revolutionary war, particularly the reality of it versus the dream many Americans hold.
I really wanted a western setting, but this is cool too.
Who wants to bet that they're going to include George Washington in the storyline?

Oh god that would've been amazing.
lots of juicy history resides in the events leading up to the revolutionary war and the events within it.
like sherman's march to the sea? he fucking campaigned deep within enemy territory against commanding orders with no supplies, hitting enemy supply depots and gathering up slaves, and took over savannah.

That's the Civil War.
woops.
either ways.
JUICY STUFF.
I love the AC games, so I'm stoked for this.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;34954356]How do you mix up American history that bad.
I mean it's in like the first sentence. "November 15, 1864 to December 21, 1864" the revolutionary war happened almost a hundred years before that.[/QUOTE]
i'm sorry i got too excited.
So working by dates, the start of the American revolutionary war is 1775. If the protagonist is about 20 then, then they'll be 60 by the end of the Napoleonic wars. Gives plenty of room to flow into France in later games, especially given how old Ezio was in Revelations.

four score and seven years too late, sorry
Unless the hidden blades are very well hidden, I don't think he has any

You should be able to see a bit of the blades at the bottom of his wrists like in this picture

I wonder how they'll decide to portray Benedict Arnold, since he was actually a pretty cool guy
Minus the whole betrayal thing, but whatever
[editline]2nd March 2012[/editline]
His situation was understandable at the very least
Hidden blades made other weapons something you probably never use, so I'm kinda okay with it.
I'm looking forward to the Assassin's Creed in which World War II is happening, and you go around killing Nazi officers and mad doctors. In the end you find Adolf Hitler in his bunker and make it look like suicide.

because Nazis totally fit the Templar lore.

The whole point of the Assassin's Creed games is to take gamers away from the over-used locales and time periods. Even though the time period and world issues could be interesting, the WWII setting has been done to death.
It looks like the character is at least some part Native American.

ACIV to take place in Canada then.
(seriously, games, give canada some love)
I wanted a game that took place during the fall of the Romanovs is Russia.
Maybe AC4...
On second thought, a WW1 Assassin's Creed game would be awesome, too.
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;34954407]i'm sorry i got too excited.[/QUOTE]
That's like saying, "holy shit guys, I'm getting so excited for this World War 1 game! I can't wait to call in airstrikes on the Vietcong!"

As much as I would like an AC game set in WWII, WWII has been done to death. If you want an AC game in WWII play either Velvet Assassin (crappy game) or The Saboteur.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;34955120]I'm sorry, I don't think they could make a game based around beavers and maple syrup.[/QUOTE]
Canadian dam builder? you need to eat syrup ever few hours to survive
I find the lack of hidden blade disturbing...
[QUOTE=Lord Hayden II;34956198]I find the lack of hidden blade disturbing...[/QUOTE]
But there are shotguns and other new weapons and it makes me want play AC3 more and more.

Yeah but he's an assassin not Rambo. The hidden blade is supposed to be his main weapon.
