Bit more stuff here:

I saw deer-hunting. It looks like it'd fit with your name-reflects-style explanation.

I think this is perfect setting for this game.

Any setting in Europe/Middle East would of been old news. It would of felt like the last 4 games.

Having it in this time period and area is a perfect way of getting some new fresh paint for the franchise. I'm just hopping game play has received equal freshness and not just the same old.

...how the hell does 12th century Israel and Syria feel anything like Renaissance Italy?

The first game doesn't even feel like part of the series any longer.

For that matter, 18th century France would have been as far a cry from 16th century Italy as Italy was from 12th century Israel.

I think what he meant was, if the game took place in Europe or the Middle East like AS1, ASII, ASB, and ASR, it would have felt the same as the last 4 since it was in the same location.. Not that 1 felt anything like 2-B and R.

I got what he meant, I just think what he meant is illogical.

All these details are making this game sound really epic

Bastards should include the French Revolution in this game.

Was America back that that different from Italy and the rest of Europe? It doesnt look that different from AC2+. That is, besides the wider streets...

The thing is...that's just silly. Europe is not all one homogenous place. It would still be on the same continent but it also would be very different.

While cities like Rome, London, and Paris are very dense, buildings on top of others, with the maximum use of the existing space, New York, Boston, as far out as Los Angeles were sprawling, wide city areas until the relatively recent development of skyscrapers.

Where I live now, San Antonio, is a prime example of just this sort of thing. When my family moved here, our newly-built neighborhood would best be described as "rural," and the fringes of the city were half an hour's drive away. Now, the city's grown outwards to meet us, and the same convenience that was a fair drive away is now practically on our doorstep. And that's only over a period of eight years. At the same time, the only tall buildings are historic downtown, which is a mere few square miles. The rest of the city is sprawling and low.

I'm well aware of that fact. If not then I'm an idiot and never went outside my house in Canada.

And the freerunning fears are back.

Christ Im learning more history here then all the years at school. So the area will probably be like the area around the Florence Cathedral?

They'll probably give Connor the Ezio treatment and have him featured in the french revolution in the next game of him and probably have The Terror in it as well.

I don't expect it to happen, but it would be rather cool.

They probably do it rather than just creating a new character for that time period. Because I can't see them moving on and not do the French Revolution.

Connor fighting whoever that is without a hood.

That doesn't really look like a fight but whatever.

I'm more interested in exactly how Desmond and friends plan to stop the supposed Apocalypse by using memories from said ancestor from the American Revolution. Just seems weird and kind of like a side trip but I guess it can be important.

Pretty obvious, I think.
