Assassin's Creed: Unity

Ha, so much for Egypt or Japan.
Spoilered that since it's the first comment, if people want to get it from the trailer rather than me initially.

i hope the protagonist dual wields baguettes and constantly surrenders

does sound fun, apparently its gonna be 3 games - one for ps4/xbone (pc too I assume), one for 360/ps3 (pc too?), and another for ?? (handhelds? tablets?)

All 3 are going to be the same era? That confirmed or just speculation based on AC3 and Liberation?

Revolutionary France huh.

Day 1 purchase but it's way too similar to Ezio's AC for me to be that excited.

My thoughts exactly but at least it won't have any boating sequences, I hope. After having run through AC4 a second time the boating sequences started to really drag. It's really doesn't hold up that well on repeated plays.

French Revolution should be interesting, but I do hope they're willing to hang up the sabers-and-muskets era after this; it'd be nice to see something a little more visually distinct for the next one.

While I loved AC4 and the pirate ships, any AC that has had fireams is just a total cheesefest for 1 on 1 combat. Draw gun, fire, win. I'd love to see a game set before firearms, with more in-depth combat. French revolution won't help that

Maybe not a Day 1 purchase for me but I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point. After being let down by Revelations and AC3, AC4 was simply phenomenal so they earned my trust back.

I never really got the stealthy assassin + gun. Give me a hand crossbow. I don't want to alert every guard within earshot, geez.

yay, there will be no multiplayer mode but instead 4 player co-op

gameplay trailer, kinda disappointed he didn't have a comical french accent

looks cool though day 0 for me. Oct 28. I still get the feeling that this will be kinda the meh one and the next one will be awesome and set in ancient Egypt or China

Has pistols again. Loud, not very assassin like and they probably reload quick as shit again. Pet peeve about this series. Otherwise, Im kind of curious whats different in this one?

I hope they have the austrian air rifle in the game.

While I am most definitely gonna play it and love the co op feature, I am getting pretty tired of the saber / musket era as said above.

Actually, take everything about setting already posted and place it here.

yuck, main ubisoft isn't making the pc ports of far cry 4 and AC5, its gonna be ubisoft ukraine

probably means the PC ports will be pretty shitty

ubisoft = templars imo

I loved everything about the Ezio trilogy, so while I'm ok with a similar setting, I'm not as excited about this one as I was about Black Flag.

The guns/muskets were always a little weird for me. The tomahawk in 3 just seemed so god damn retarded too. I mean, I remember Ezio getting stupid hammers and whatnot but I bought them for achievements and then never used them. Just too slow, but I always thought, "How is a tomahawk or giant hammer assassin-y? What, he's a native american and we gotta make sure people know it, so he has a tomahawk? Great, thanks"

The execution sequences were cool though.

I'd have loved an Egypt one; after ACII when you find out how many important events in history happened because of assassins, (Like Caeser and Cleopatra) I always wanted to check them out.
