Assassin's Creed 3 Story and Setting Speculation and Suggestions

Try saying that topic 15 times fast. : P

Anyway, the last two topics I posted were about gameplay, and as we know the gameplay of assassin's creed is very much tied to the tone and feel of the story, more so than any other game I've played. So let's take a break from our ruminations on the possible functions of the high profile weapon hand while hanging from a ledge button, and think about where we want the story to go location-wise, and supeculate as to what the plot may be.

I'll start with setting first.

Real World-

Social Stealth, Evasion and Guard AI

So this is the second topic I've made on possible AC improvements. This time, I'm going to focus on how we can be revealed as an assassin, how we can hide from those who try to violently stop us, how we can lower the chances of them remembering who we are later, and how the crowd will react to our actions.

So, I'm going to assume that AC3 has a sizable portion of the game that features Desmond as a full-fledged assassin. In this case, we will probably be in modern cities around the world in the year 2012. Lets begin with what the crowd will think of Desmond's antics.

Parkour-

Assassin's Creed 3 Freerunning Mechanics

EDIT: Seeing as there has been some information revealed about free-running in AC3, I'm going to add quotes about it and my thoughts about it to this OP. I'll keep my old suggestions up just cause.

"New navigation options send Connor seamlessly leaping over moving wagons in the street or sliding under obstacles. Moving objects are now fully integrated platforms for navigation, and the sprint animation automatically moves around objects in the way."

Possibility for ac3?

Does anyone else think that there should be an arrest system in AC3? I find it stupid when in the others, if you just beat a civilian up, the guards come charging at you with swords and try to kill you.

Maybe they should arrest you instead, and take some of your money, which would also improve the economy system.

Please leave your opinions. Big smile

Survey for AC3 by Ubi

At the end you get asked quiestions about what you'd like to see in AC3, including a better eagle vision (guard paths ) and some other interesting stuff.

What do these pictures MEAN?!

Okay, I have to admit, the first time I saw these, I was gonna post "OMG IT'S EGYPT!!" but then I read into it a little more and found out it was part of ubi looking for artists to hire. This first picture doesn't have any real context.

But then there was this one that threw me off. It says that it was drawn by JamesNG. "Artists like Craig Mullins, Tavis Coburn, 123Klan, Gabz, James NG and many others were given free rein to draw an Assassin from the period and style of their choices..."

The Stuff of Pseudoscience

At the end of Assassin's Creed II, we learned that Team Desmond had a lot more on their hands than just the end of free will - they have to contend with the end of civilisation entirely, as well. Minerva and Shaun make references to the sun doing something, the end of the world, but what exactly are they up against?

Looks like after Brotherhood we'll get a year without (a console) Assassin's Creed.

Associate Producer Jean-Francois Boivin says:

"I don't think there's going to be an Assassin's Creed in 2011. I think we're going to let it breathe a bit and really focus on bringing something new and exciting for the next time around. This [Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood] is the end of Ezio's story. This is it."

When asked about how long this hiatus might be, his response was

What I'd like to see in AC3

This is just my personal wish list for future AC games. I'm not basing this on any rumours or previews.

Armor variation
AC2 has has an "ultimate" armor set. This is nice but quite boring.
How about an "advanced light armor" set that allows you to sprint faster and jump higher, but leaves you vulnerable in open combat. Perfect for those who prefer to do all missions as stealthy as possible.

Who has/had a PoE?

In real life? Post who you think could have a PoE

Inspired by this GFAQS thread I thought we could do a more sensible one.
