GB - "Have you wondered how Assassin’s Creed 3 will look when set in China? Well a skilled user from Deviant Art has done just that by creating some of the most gorgeous artworks ever known to man, in fact, it’s so awesome that he or she should actually get hired by Ubisoft for the pure awesomeness on display."
@Cam
The American Revolution was something decent in innovation for the series.
Shut up, at least it's more innovative, unique and inspirational than boring, old, overused America.
You get to deal with Ninja's, Shoalin's, Tai Chi and a lot Kung Fu clans.
He should learn some Martial Arts before he get to China otherwise he get killed to easy.
"Europe is boring" dude, really?
The ENTIRE of Europe is boring? Whatever you say...
The thing is in the war between Americans and the redcoats both sides did some horrible things, both sides were as bad as each other but AC3 dumbs down what the Americans did and exaggerateswhat the redcoats did to make it one sided and that the redcoats were like completely evil.
It's the reason I havent been able to finish the game...well more because the main character sucks and it's boring story but you get the idea.
It's one redcoat thing after another....oh look a templar....oh he's British AGAIN how did I not see that coming.
Course they dumbed it down...
George Washington was supposed to be bad from the start, he held the apple to win the war which is what past AC games tell us...LOOK IT UP BEFORE YOU DISAGREE...but they changed it in this game incase they risked ticking off Americans. Instead they created Haytham, an amazing character, and his group to fill Georges place and the rest of the founding fathers, they were supposed to be the templar group from the start from what they codex pages told us in the first two games. Haytham should of been a good guy to help you near the end.
Connor eventually does tell G.W to eff off, and realizes all his work in the end to save his village was futile. It just ends up being sold by a U.S. Senator. So the whole Murica Eff yeah feeling is more or less, is wow they're just as bad as the britsh.
I just started playing ACIII and love it. I'm enjoying the character development. I like that the game has had a slow build up and that I wasn't some big-bad ass-powerful assassin right out of the box.
Also, when people say ACIII has this "America F'Yeah" vibe, I wonder if they thought AC had a "Middle East F'Yeah" vibe, or ACII had an "Italy F'Yeah" vibe...
No it didn't...those games didn't shove it in your face, they just got on with the game and the story. Thats what makes AC3 differnt
"I just started playing ACIII and love it."
You just did the same thing... hypocrite.
Well, I personally have not felt an "American F'yeah" vibe shoved in my face. I don't feel that this game has shoved any side down my throat, any more than the previous AC games have. But I guess that's just me.
@Threydor: You are correct. I apologize. As where others have felt that vibe from the very beginning, I have yet to feel it -- and I'm 6 hours in.
I also didn't get any of the "America's so great" vibe. Do you know how it ends? SPOILER with slavery and other depressing themes like Native Americans losing their land END SPOILER. Yup, "America F*** yeah", indeed.
Furthermore, the game takes place during the American Revolution. Having the first American flag in marketing kind of spells that out for people.
Yes. I've been begging for an Assassin's Creed game set in Asia for many years now. It would be perfect, with the different martial arts, clans, families, government vs rebels, monks, etc etc.
Gorgeous artwork btw. I have no doubt this artist would be able to land a job as a concept artist.
It could never be that complex.
Would be too much for the casual/baby fanbase majority.
I hope we get one. Even if it's not "Assassin's Creed 4" and just some sequel with a subtitle (like Brotherhood/Revelations.)
I would have thought these were official.
I think people have been asking for ages for a Ninja/Japan or a Samurai/China (Either is fine, I'd prefer a more dark samurai game as there is no shortage of ninja games).
All in all, I am tired of Assassin's Creed games, as good as they are, but something like this would really freshen it up.
If they start getting into those eras, call it something new perhaps. Even with China I'd rather have it called something else, because then they'd just be riding off the Assassins Creed title to make money.
And this way Ubisoft won't have to go around butchering recent history facts.
I like all the games in the series, but for stealth game play its a tie between 1 and 3, but the Ezio series did flush the character out (he had three titles afterall.) and then gamers complain Connor was not flushed out as a character.. well yeah so far he has started in one title.
Needs an upgrade in the graphics and gameplay department.
Just feels like the same game with different graphics atm.

Keep it up videogame journalists
AC3 was rubbish because it lacked tall, renowned buildings IMO, and while its wilderness parkour was great, I missed the sights of AC2.
Before the game heads to China, I want to climb Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. Paris and London ought to be done first, as Northern Europe is thus far untouched.
London: Dark and dreary with gothic themes - wealthy in certain areas contrasted with bleak areas for the poor (Soho, East London - think Sweeney Todd). Plenty of wealthy estates to infiltrate so perhaps having more internal stealth would be a benefit (crouching was sorely needed in AC3). The Surrey countryside would also be quite interesting to explore.
To be honest though, I don't mind where the next AC is set that much as long as we don't have to play as an angry emo like Connor again. Ezio was incredible, and I hope so much that the next character we play as is similarly charming (Haytham was my second favourite character after Ezio - charming and witty but a little too arrogant to top Auditore.)
