Forum:Ideas for "Comet"
What do you think about rumor that "Comet" (PS3,XBOX360 game) is set around 1758 in North America,with a lot of sailing around eastern seaboard and Templar protagonist named Shay.
What I think and some of my ideas for the game:
I think that's a very good idea.First, playing as a templar is something new,I always wanted to play as a templar and for most games (exepct 2 and brotherhood) templars seemd like better guys than assassins.Playing as a Templar would also bring something new and fresh,something that series really needs.About sailing and naval combat.I'm defenetly for sailing and naval combat, but it needs to be done properly.I'm probably the only one who thinks that sailing in AC4 wasn't that great and it could've been so much better(cmon no chain shot and you are a pirate who needs to board the ship to get the plunder not sink it,also no grape shot,no fire shot, you have semi-automatic canons,ridiculously big canon arks with no point of positionig your ship,because you can hit enemy ship from every position.I liked it when in ac3 you had to at least try a little to position your ship to fire a broadside and when you fired a broadside your canons were not immediately ready to fire again.And only 4 ship types.Were were galleons,sloops,brigantines,barques.And only 2 trading goods in the entire Caribbean,suger and rum, seriously Ubi.And where were the French,was it so hard to put white and blue uniforms on some of the sailors and put a french flag on their ship.But if Ubi manges to fix these issues from Black Flag and improves sailing and naval combat it would be awsome.It's a good feature and it would be a shame to trow it away.Improve it instead!About setting (North America around 1758 with a lot of sailing).I like sailing and ships and French and Indian war would work well.Seeing more of Haytham would be great (for me the best character in entire AC series)and that period would also mean that Achilles could be in it and even old Adewale.It's also said in AC3 that in that time most of the assassin's were wiped out.Could see Shay and do that (Shay in said to be the templar protagonist of Comet) by Haytham's orders, maybe you could be like a spy or double agent pretending to be an assassin but beeing templar working for Haytham (he knows how assassins work he was one of them and he makes a plan to infiltrate you into assassins.It could be like Departed but in 18th century,Haytham is already James Bond of 18th century.Shay is also English so maybe him and Haytham would know eachother from England and he would make a plan to infiltrate Shay into assassins trough Adewale( he heard of Adewale from his father who told him everything about him,so he makes a plan to infiltarte Shay in Adewale's crew,maybe saying he is an old friend of Edward Kenway or that Edward was like father to him,so Adewale except him and than Shay rises trough assassins ranks for years and assassin's dont even know that he is a templar for all these years.After all this years (like 30 years, after the events of AC3 after 1781 Connor discovers that he is a templar.We have a sequel with Connor. You're welcome ubi.About cities and maps.I think they should do eastern seaboard around NY to Nova Scotia all the way trough St.Lawrence river for free sail like thayy did in Black flag with Caribbean.In Comet rumor it's said that that New York City will return.I dont' know how the recycling of the city would work,maybe if the make some other cities to like Montreal,Quebec,Halifax,Newport, than they could add New York and Boston and say we made new cities we only add NY and Boston becuse they fit in time period and setting and it's just a bonus.They could even put New Orleans of Liberation in it.Than that would be a huge map with a lot of city plus saling map and nobody could say that Comet is just AC3 and 4 recycle.And that about everything i got to say about AC "Comet" I ilke the alleged setting and period and i would also like to play as Templar.So that's fine with me, and ubi try to avoid those Forrest Gump moments from the past and just polish the game a bit more and you're fine and AC Comet would be a game that i would buy.I doubt anyone will read this damm I was long.

I like it, if they do make this, I hope they make it for PC, too.<theproclamation> (talk) 05:00, July 30, 2014 (UTC)
That was an impressive post, mate =) I might rival it a bit here! haha But Comet is indeed about a Templar in Haytham & Connor's time. Haytham has been confirmed to be in the game, whether he has a major role to play is yet to be seen. But he WAS Grand Master Templar while he was in the Americas so for him to have a small role would be stupid. & I hope they don't cop out & get some of Haytham's orders in letters - that'd be a waste of having a beloved & fan fave (& brillant VA) charector. I do agree with you on the re-hashing of games. That works fine for kids games like Marior Kart who's fans just want to race but AC has a very complex story & for Ubi to go "We can't leave our Last Gen fans hanging...QUICK! REMAKE THE LAST TWO GAMES BUT SOMEHOW DIFFERENT!" Hahaa. I'm not a massive fan of back-tracking & bringing things from old to the new just because they can. To be honest, the only way I'm going back to my PS3 & leaving my PS4 (& Unity) is if this game is like Haytham's AC3 sections. I'm one of the fans who loves Haytham & couldn't have cared less for Connor. Haytham, & his story, was more interesting & if Ubi can do a brilliant job again if this Shay person, I'll jump of board but so far....Unity has my vote. (RoxyPS (talk) 12:33, July 30, 2014 (UTC))
- Comet's existence remains unconfirmed, as does the storyline centering around this "Shay" character. What with rumours flying about a game named Assassin's Creed: Rogue, it's entirely possible Comet is a hoax; all we know is that there's a game coming out of for PS3 and Xbox360 (and likely pc as well).
- Personally, I hope none of this Comet rumour is true; if there's a possibility of a female protagonist in an entirely new setting, I'd much rather have that than revisiting Haytham, of all people, and Adéwalé. Besides, colonial architecture was no fun freerunning around on in AC3 (Liberation actually did better in this regard, in my opnion). Crook The Constantine District 12:51, July 30, 2014 (UTC)
- This is where I keep saying Aveline's game should've been the main installment, albeit with more polishing to it, and Connor should've had the spin-off. The series would've been better off that way. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie 12:57, July 30, 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed, Comet should have a female protagonist. Inserting Elise in Unity is not enough for Ubsoft to claim they're supportive of strong female characters. The fact you can't play as them anymore won't be a dealbreaker, but it got a good backlash for sure. I was kind of hoping that you might play as a female protagonist in the present setting of Unity. The concept of playing 'yourself' in Black Flag had potential, but eventually it turned out to be fairly uninteresting imo. -- Altaïr 14:01, July 30, 2014 (UTC)
