    Looks to be 18th century Paris. I am excited for climbing Notre Dame. Sad face that it looks to be set before the construction of the Eiffel Tower.

    EDIT: Accidentally put fall 2015 in thread title, if someone wants to change to fall 2014 that'd be cool.

    Spoiler: show





    So i was on a flight earlier today and playing liberation on my vita when the guy sitting next to me asked me what i thought about the game. I said it was pretty good to which he said that i will probably love the next one too. I told him that i already played black flag to which he smiled at me and said the one after that. Turns out that the guy was someone close to the series (dev/pr) and although he didn't disclose what exactly his position was, he did give me a fair bit of info on the upcoming title. My day was literally made when towards the end of our conversation he showed me a short clip about the game on his ipad. Mind you the guy was a not a native english speaker so there might be some errors in what he meant and i what i am posting here.

    set in paris and england (london?)

    main characters name is arno/harno something. will be heading the french divison of assassins.

    looks to be set after the ezio period, character had handgun.

    looks like victorian era judging by the way npc dressed, architecture, horse carriages parked on the streets.

    Villa management is back. MC has his own villa (guy says its ezio's villa from AC:B). dunno if it makes any sense geographically or it might be a mistranslation.

    codename is AC:unity. Not final title, might be battle/fight something (cant remember). The AC logo is cut in the middle like the beyond/quantum break logo.

    MC has a blue suit with a tinge of red in the clip(might change). looked similar to the ones worn by the Knights in order 1886.

    from the clip it looks like a cross gen title. Although the guy tells me its next gen only title.

    Visually looked quiet decent but it was ver early footage. Had fantastic draw distance and crowd density was much higher than the older games despite them appearing/disappearing from thin air.

    Thats all for now. I'll post if i remember anything more.

    You're joking right? This is a series where the first main character was muslim, one character was half Mohawk, one was a half black French woman, and one was a freed slave from Trinidad. The Assassin's Creed series is infinitely more racially diverse than most other games out there. I know it's difficult, but try not to be this stupid.

    Altair was half-white/Christian and they never showed his face. The French woman and the black dude were Vita and DLC respectively. People begged them to make a full game for the black chick and they made her into another DLC.

    I'm talking about the legit multiplatform games (you know, the ones that sell millions of copies?), 3/5 full white men, 2/5 half white men. I would've preferred a female, but would've settled for a half-white male. As it stands, it's pretty obvious that after AC3, all they're interested in representing is white men as their main characters, and I seriously don't get how people can even find these characters interesting.

    Another way to state my argument: they were going in the right direction with AC3, and have since taken 2 steps back.

    I'm going to break this down for you so you understand a little better what I'm trying to say.

    Altair Ibn La'Ahad - Mother Christian, Father Muslim. Syrian nationality. No comments during ANY of the games name him as a Christian. It is generally assumed that he is Muslim. Not a white European Male. Syria is in Asia, not Europe.

    Ezio Auditore da Firenze - Italian all the way. Is a white European Male.

    Connor - Mother Mohawk, Father English. Not a white European Male.

    Aveline de Grandpre - Mother African, Father French. Not a white European Male.

    Edward Kenway - Couldn't get any whiter. Is a White European Male.

    Adewale - Black Trinidadian male. Not a White European Male.

    Desmond Miles - Has Italian, Mohawk, English, and Syrian ancestry(at least as of so far.) Not a White European Male.

    You're conveniently ignoring two major minority characters simply because they didn't have a full PS3 game released for them. A stand alone Vita game counts. As does DLC. They were main characters in their respective mediums. Of the last four main characters, only one was a full blown European white male(Edward.) The other three were not(Connor, Aveline, and Adewale.) This doesn't include all of the supporting characters, of which several are minorities(Achilles, Agate, George, etc.)

    That is not demonstrating an interest in only representing white men as main characters. It's showing a clear, proven track record of keeping their series racially diverse. You also need to remember that the series is still using Desmond as a focal point/plot device. Until that story is completed we aren't going to see a major shift in future games.

    Missing out on the best AC game to come out since AC2.

    Also, as a non white male, I don't care if every main character is a white european male as long as they deliver solid games.

    The Jackdaw is a ship. Not a boat.

    Sailing in that damn ship while the crew sung shanties, raiding, and blowing up shit, as a standalone, was literally more fun than the entirety of some of the games that came out last year.
