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.
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.
Bastards should include the French Revolution in this game.

Because of the expansionist attitude of New World colonials, American cities tended to grow outward instead of up, and because of the relatively limited supplies and labor, buildings were simpler and, in general, smaller.
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.

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.

Actually, I would like that a lot. Connor could be some sort of American delegate to France, and then discover a Templar plot that sets off the Revolution. It would be similar to Revelations, thematically, without the constrictions of having to end two character stories.
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.
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.
