yes...i REALLY hope Japan....it would be great considering the weapon combinations...though it wouldn't be bad if they did something with a modern environment similar to Mirror's Edge, except a bit higher off the ground...and of course make it Assassin's Creed-like....though yeah the formula is good..they got it down...now they just need to hone in on it a bit...i felt that AC1 was a good beginning...introduced the story and gameplay...it was like a beta...AC2 was very story-driven and they improved quite a bit...but it was VERY loose...almost too loose for it's own good.....and ACBH...i liked it...it was a good continuation...i liked the lack of focus on a story...i liked how it was mostly side stuff....but i would only play that in that game..if they do it again, then i'll be too bored and AC will no longer be for me...u know wat im sayin?
