gaming Modern Assassin's Creed?

[Snow Frostflame 3,571]

Assassin's Creed is inching ever so closer to modern age.... with Assassin's Creed V coming soon taking place in the 19th Century.... it gave me an idea... who thinks they should make an Assassin's Creed in the Modern age?.... personally I think that would be a great idea.... it would give Ubisoft an plenty of opportunities to reference Watch Dogs... plus I think it would be cool parkouring in modern cities.... what do you think?

I think it would be hard to do right. One of the biggest draws of AC is how they portray historical settings and events in what I think is more faithful than pretty much any other game.

 

Also, the modern day segments have been pretty boring in every game. 3 was the worst, so much bullshit you had to do as Desmond... honestly ruined the game for me.

Two words, Watch_Dogs. But on a serious note, I don't see how it would be interesting.

Two words, Watch_Dogs.

Watch Dogs may take place in the same universe but that doesn't make it an Assassin's Creed...

I'd imagine the combat would be hard to get right.

Semi-automatic and automatic weapons against melee combat? Yeah, that's going to be pretty difficult. I just don't see how they could include melee combat when there are such weapons.

 

In Unity you can dodge shots, but that's because it's a musket, only firing one shot, being fairly inaccurate and having a lengthy reload. Whereas an automatic weapon wouldn't be able to be dodged, same as semi-automatic too, if fired fast enough.

 

The only way I could see a modern Assassin's Creed having a successful combat system is if it becomes a third-person shooter; ditching the melee combat system in place of only a ranged combat system. But then it pretty much just becomes Watch_Dogs.
