Yep, that sounds quite boring.

*insert obligatory plea for feudal Japan*

It was the only thing that would have made me buy an AC, well that or Three Kingdoms China.


We already have done the three kingdoms to death with Dynasty Warriors.... pick another area please!

Not the only series to use this period. In fact most games set in China do

Does China even have other noteworthy eras??

2 AC games barely came out and already we hear about the next one, no time for the dust to settle...I wonder when the big mass of gamers who buy these games every year will finally start getting bored with them

Romance of the three kingdoms seems dead to me, thus I chose Dynasty Warriors. Anyways yes it does, but the problem is, they aren't really flattering to China itself....

NEVER! (Really, I don't get bored of the series, because of the sandbox environment of the eras they pick, honestly if another company came about and did it better, they would kill AC quickly.)

The stories can be boring, the gameplay can be dull, the game might be full of glitches, but the Setting .... the setting sells the game.

Also: Not all Assassin Creed games suck, Black Flag, and Rogue (from what I hear, didn't pick up Rogue, because of Unity) are actually really awesome.

I don't think that would be a good period for Assassin's Creed, the only period in Japanese history that would make sense for AC is the Meiji Restoration-period

Would hardly call the Three Kingdoms era flattering either. I mean the population of China plummeted thanks to the constant warring

Am I the only one who's been saying they should do this since 2009? Really though I doubt this will save  this dead horse of a series that's been kicked so many times it's practically a rug.

I have no shame to admit i'll be getting it.. But they should remake the Ezio Trilogy in this engine.. *someone at ubisoft is now reading this and hears the $$$ flowing



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)

Well that era is generally put in a better light for characters within the country. I think the era I am thinking of well.... lets just say the European nations weren't kind.
