Ubisoft: New Assassin's Creed Will Be A Big Surprise
Assassin's Creed IILast year's Assassin's Creed II was absolutely one of 2009's best, which is why we can't wait to learn more about the sequel.
However, despite the intrigue caused by the following comments, we can't be entirely sure if Ubisoft Europe boss Alain Corre is indeed talking about Assassin's Creed III. According to GamerZines citing a GamesIndustry.biz interview, Corre appears to be talking about the next AC, so we can only assume it's ACIII. He says the next entry in the series will "surprise everybody" and he's confident that despite the apparent uniqueness of the title, it'll still be a "big success." It certainly sounds like he's talking about ACIII:
"We need to put enough energy and talent into each new game, so it can become better than the previous one."
Well, it may be the new multiplayer-enabled installment, which is on Ubisoft's calendar for release in the 2010 fiscal year. The rumor is that it'll be a spin-off, although we keep hearing that Ezio will absolutely return in the true sequel...why it would "surprise everybody," though, we're not sure. ACII has already sold over 8 million copies and that's one hell of a tremendous accomplishment, so more titles in the franchise are inevitable. We'll try to get more info on any game with Assassin's Creed in the title; the games are just that good.

A clear case of out of sight out of mind - time to put your UC2 disc back in.

ACII is awesome, and it's way better than ACI (which is saying alot), but in my opinion it's not better than Uncharted 2 - that game is just epic.

Makes sense for another AC sequel to take place in Japan.

Be able to actually make combos while fighting.
New (cooler) weapons
So yeah, the game is perfect, except i think the fight mechanics have massive potential!

A good list there Akuma07. I'd add hidden blade in his boot for some added killing power on those round house kicks.

The 2nd game was such an improvement over the 1st, can't wait to see what the 3rd title will bring to the table.

I really don't think they'd jack up a good series. If it's made it through two installments without even a stumble in sales or quality, then I'm pretty sure Ubisoft knows what they're doing. But I know that there's those fans out there who will totally forget and bash the series because of one thing they dramatically didn't like. So, don't expect anything except what you get and you'll never be dissappointed!

But with the giant cliffhanger at the end of ACII, it will most likely be some odd, of course, surprising twist that will make us all go, "W...T...F?"
But, us being loyal to the series, will cope and move on with the surprise and call it amazing and awesome, regardless. In any case, I will go after anything that has to do with AC. It's just too much of an amazing series to disregard! And Ezio, do come back to us in a third installment!

If they mainly focus on the SINGLE PLAYER part of the game, and just toss in multiplayer like how Uncharted 2 is done, then fine whatever. They just better not do it reversed and skimp out on the single player experience just to add multiplayer. (not EVERY game released needs a multiplayer mode, there are people out there who are satisfied with a good single player campaign) It would be like playing that BETA sold at full retail price called Modern Warfare 2.

So at some point they are going to have to come to the present day for some period of time. The objective of these games seems like it's going to end with discovering more secrets of Abstergo and eventually taking them down, or dealing with other present day Templars. All of this has to occur in present day, so I don't know how they are going to handle that and keep with the general theme of Assassins Creed.
Should be interesting though...they have done a great job so far.

-A lot more of it will take place in present day than in previous incarnations.
-You will control Desmond just as you did Altair/Ezio via the bleeding effect
-Ezio will return the same way Altair did
-Desmond will no longer need the Animus to revisit memories or it may happen involuntarily
-Revisiting memories may carry the main purpose of discovering the locations of the remaining temple things.

Being an amazing multiplat it should sell at least 10 million.
But what kind of surprise?
Everything can be improved but from my point of view I don't what can be improved till it can be a surprise.
