Next ACs gonna be weeaboo Japanese Revolutionary War i'd bet. Or/and Egypt during Napoleons invasion.
I sure do hope so. They have already advanced too far ahead within the course of history. It currently looks like they chose to skip the Japanese or Chinese context. I sure would love to have a game based on either of the two (ideally both) and probably one on the Egyptian times, although the lack of too many buildings would make things real difficult to have some assassin action going.

There's an AC in China. Pretty recent. Derpy graphics though and doesn't look like AC

Yeah, I know of that one. But for obvious reasons, it feels more like a random simple arcade game rather than an AC game.

Wat....Black Flag was the best AC!!! Bestest soundtrack, bestest graphics, bestest location (Caribbean), bestest characters and bestest story!

Black Flag was a pleasant suprise in the sea of boringass AC sequels and that was entirely due to the focusshift from the boring gameplay thats been repeated atleast 5 times now with only some added pointless gimmicks to something totally fresh.

Black Flag was the creed game I had the most fun playing since AC2; I still didn't get around to finishing it as the story line was far to convoluted and i much preferred doing side missions and simply being a pirate. I simply think the concept is tired and over done now. Didn't pick up unity because it was such a buggy mess (is it even fixed now?) and i really am not that interested in this latests one.

Pre-ordered Unity back then cuz I love the background - French revolution is a very exciting timeframe!- and got badly burned by it. Not gonna pick this up before reading several tests and player's opinions and then only when it's cheap on key seller sites...

Ezio was such a massive bundle of sticks, I still got revelations here installed and just can´t get myself to finish it cause everytime he´s coming up with his wannabe italian "incredibile!" crap I cringe so hard, if I´d put some coal to my belly I´d crunch it to diamonds. Only part where he´s cool is in the revelations trailer, but that´s it.
Oh, and the Brotherhood Multiplayer was pretty fun to play, but it´s all ded now, so...yeh.

Actually in revelation he's much less of an ass since he's older, so it's the only one bearable. As for the settings, know i might sound biased but nothing hs been more fascinating then italian renaissance, fuck retard weaboos asking for japanese feudalism i want florence venice rome rebuilt with newer engines. Even damascus jerusalem acre were good, , though altair would be the only thing I'd save from the first. Maybe ancient rome would be cool but i dunno how they would fit the hoodie lol

Only thing i liked with Revelations is the atmosphere. Like AC1. Constantinople/Istanbul is a cool city during that age.
Anyhow, I'd say best ACs are AC1, AC4 and AC3. Unity seems boring overall, Syndicate seems like copy paste plus Britland sucks. And AC2 was boring too. Also I never really liked AC multiplayer. So annoying. But I hope the next AC takes place in Japan.

Plus the first was really repetitive. AC2 brought some variation to it.
3 was OK just a bit dull. 4 was fun but had nothing to do with Assassins. I don't know why they didn't create a new franchise with the ship mechanics cos they were excellent. A proper pirate game would've been great.
Unity sucked.

Was so hyped for AC when this came out, I even read a couple books about the Nizari Ismailis.
And disappointed when AC1 came out. Especially because they managed to do the things that seemed hard/impossible at the time, the smooth freerunning, the large cities, the crowds, the graphics, etc., etc, but then they failed when it came to gameplay and design decisions (like having all those "glitches" which completely ruined the immersion). It could easily have been the greatest game ever if it had meaningful gameplay.

Can't agree with Unity. It was so buggy the gameplay was bad when I played it.
I still have it on my PS4 so maybe it's worth another look.
The gameplay wasn't bugged at the end... tho I am specifically talking about combat and sneaking which got an awesome revamp. Unfortunately from what I've seen, they went back on the actual demanding combat and made it more button mashing batman-style. Same for sneaking really. Unity has great, demanding gameplay in combat and sneaking which both got nerfed for Syndicate... such a pity, much shame.

I really don't see a difference in combat, apart from that enemies attack more often and you generally have more time to react. Also even when playing Unity 1.5 I got stuck during a parry animation or when I got shot pretty fucking often.

Played a bit of Unity in the past few days and I must say that even inspite of all the bugs and glitches it's a better game. And would probably be the best assassin's creed game if they got the technical side right. Unity feels like a barrel of gasoline, whereas Syndicate feels like a half full matchbox. Ofcourse there's a much bigger potential for disaster with a barrel of gasoline.

At first I found it funny, but now the constant ye bosterd ima rep uff yer throot is straight cringey. 11th century Arabs spoke better English than this.
Game is fun to play. Not very demanding, as you would expect. Everything looks nice although the texture work is reminiscent of Dishonored at times, and that isn't really a compliment for a game that aims to be photorealistic. The only place you can fast travel to is your base. Moving around the city is not too boring, playing a bit of The Horse And The Carriage: London Gallop is okay.
Also I think I've only seen rain once: London immersion zero.

It does feel cheap at times.
Also, no bugs. I don't know what happened, maybe they fixed them in a month or something. The only thing that bothers me is that sometimes when I fast travel towards the train the game crashes.

Sometimes it feels a bit like that true. To be fair tho, they did a good job on fitting AI to the hook. When Police spots me while murdering someone and I wanna get out of there, use the grapple to the roof, it takes them only a few seconds to end up on the roof themselves through some roof door :lol: A bit silly but that certainly is a good example for gameplay over reality...
Sometimes I do have biiig slowdown of fps... down to 5fps or something... either I have to wait a moment to catch up with the streaming, I assume, or I have to completely restart the game. Maybe some mem leak? Maybe my HDD is too slow? I do use around 1GB more VRAM than my card has according to the vram-meter of the game tho.
Overall runs very well tho. Surprisingly well after Unity.

What annoys me the most about the hook is that the zipline mode makes no goddamn sense physically. The line is held by magic at the originating point.

That kind of slowdown is most assuredly caused by VRAM page faults.
