Oh yes. I mean, an order of ninja assassins? How can they not want to do this?

Honestly, just look at the artwork. It's probably one of the more organic and naturally fitting backdrops for an Assassin's Creed game. And there's a serious lack of western AAA games set in Asia.

How anyone can call it generic is beyond me. Good lawd, I want it.

Holy crap that looks beautiful.

I know it's old, but have you seen that Assassin's Creed China fan-art?

The game where you hit A for Awesome till you counter and continue your pwnage combo? Actually sounds a lot like Assassins Creeds piss poor combat. Mordor is anything but satisfying. I can play it with one hand.

The whole point of AC-like games is too look awesome using only 2 buttons. I'm definitely not a fan of the genre, but watching your character cut heads by the dozen in fifty different ways is quite fun. Wouldn't keep me amused more than 15 hours though.

Amazing

Didn't someone from Ubisoft say recently that a Japanese AC wouldn't work because it'd feel too familiar? Yeah, right. As if the games weren't too similar already. The setting would be more than a welcome change.

HAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAAHAHHAHHAHA, an AC game feeling too familiar ?, HAHAAHAHHAAHAHAA

Such a childish remark to a valid point you clearly haven't even heard/read. Welcome to the ignore corner.

My problem with Shadow of Mordor was that it failed to innovate in any real way on the Arkham combat system. In fact, there were less combat options in SoM than there were in Arkham Asylum, which came out 5 years ago and has been improved in several games since then. It also had the most repetitive group of side missions I have ever seen. Even the first AC was more varied missions.

I'm excited to see all the customization options in this game. It's what I've been wanting from AC for quite some time.

What ?, i find it funny because every AC game is basically the same thing rehashed.

Eh, there was some irony to the Creed dev's answer. Yes, he meant it would feel like treading on other game series' well-tread ground as there are a number of games with Asian cultures explored and showcased. But he sure did sound odd saying he was concerned with treading familiar ground when the central premise of his annual franchise has become fatiguing for many with how familiar the experience and themes of the Assassin's are now.

It is a funny thing to say when the last few Ubi open world games themselfs feel familiar to one another in many ways, let alone the AC games.

Wasn't there 3 games located in Italy? Wasnt that to familiar

This is what I am hoping for most too. I hate sending ships around the world but not being able to develop the main character.

I wish I didn't see that because now I want it so bad and it'll never exist.

What a badass main character design.

The nemesis system saved it. Remove it from the game and you have one with far worse gameplay mechanics then the games they ripped it from.

Some people tend to overlook that fact.
