    I'd definitely like it to be set in China, that sounds quite cool. Don't care if it goes back into the past before Connor's storyline. Plus, China has some awesome structures that would be fun to climb. Old West could be good, but they'd have to mix up the game play, which would mean far less emphasis on the free running part of the franchise. I feel mixing it up that much would be too jarring for many fans, though.

    Here's my prediction: Watch Dogs is really assassin's creed IV.

    YES lol

    I think it should be set in a alternate version of contemporary New York, where you can steal cars to get around and have to do missions for various people around the city. The main character could be an Eastern European immigrant or something working his way up and trying to survive in the city.

    OH MY GOD SO FUCKING CLEVER! Douche.

    Hahaha, was a wee bit harsh weren't it.

    If its in the west I'm not buying it. Oh look let's go climb...that 10 foot sand dune. Oh no wait let's...go hide in the desert by moving from cactus to cactus! Oh hey how about we...fuck it just shoot me now I know you've got a hidden six shooter in there somewhere. Seriously, put it in Asia. Big ass cities with heights, exotic outdoors, beautiful with plenty of color, a feudal political system perfect for intrigue and shit. Also, martial arts and a way cooler outfit. And in the west, how often did they fight with swords or meele weapons in general? There's a reason old westerns have a bunch of shootouts instead of sword fights. And don't say bar fight brawl because im pretty sure we'd rather be doing martial arts takedowns.

    I almost just posted that I wanted it set in dinosaur times because Desmond evolved from a dinosaur technically. Thank God I realized my dumbassery, dinosaurs went extinct... a momentary lapse of reason.

  • Bloodstorm - February 7, 2013 7:04 p.m.

    Not to mention, in this version of....everything, Humanity was created by the first civilization.

  • talleyXIV - February 7, 2013 4:54 p.m.

    I want it to be set in dinosaur times. Technically Desmond had to evolve and come from a dinosaur.

    I've always said they needed to take the games to Asia (preferably Japan), but a futuristic Assassin's Creed could be interesting. Think about it, you spend the first half of the game in present day thinking that you are going to come across the animus at some point in time. Then BAM! You have been in the animus all along and you wake up 200 years in the future!

  • talleyXIV - February 7, 2013 4:51 p.m.

    Yeah, annualizing a game... not good stuff. This one could suffer greatly.

  • oryanbelt - February 7, 2013 4:14 p.m.

    I would take either Old West or China. Both offer such great opportunities for either setting. I can imagine a train robbing section in the old west and the prospects for preforming an assassination during the Chinese New Years where the fire works are blasting everywhere as a distraction or as a 'weapon'; There is a lot of potential still left.

    You would think given how consistently entertaining (and not buggy) AC III multiplayer is they couldn't do the same with the single player game. An assassin's creed based in Asia though, that actually sounds like a really good idea I hope that happens.

  • phatsnake - February 7, 2013 4:07 p.m.

    I hope it does NOT take place in the old west! My biggest problem with AC3 was the underdeveloped cities that resulted in a lack of tall buildings and famous monuments to climb (which was understandable historically speaking but boring gameplay wise). At least they made up for it with the amazing frontier. In the old west, however, there is really nothing to climb except mountains, which is not enough. The future does sound like an interesting choice, but a big part of the series' appeal lies in it's ability to re-imagine historical locations, using whatever few monuments, illustrations, or perhaps scripts that remain until our present day. The only imaginary world that makes sense to me is Eden in the past. More viable choices in my opinion include: Feudal Japan, and China, like the article suggests.

    It should definitely take place in Asia. The amount of new things they could implement is so ridiculous I'm surprised they haven't done it already.

  • ZeroZmm - February 7, 2013 3:51 p.m.

    In the future aspect.. The animus could take us to the past..all the way.. The past was very futuristic after all~

  • Evanesco - February 7, 2013 3:50 p.m.

    I want either Old West, Asia, or Victorian England. And for people to stop hating on AC like it's the cool thing to do. The franchise has done some amazing things and the criticisms are starting to sound like comfortable nitpicking turned into false complaints.

    *slow clap*
