CaliggyJack: Historic time periods that would make excellent video games

CaliggyJack 02.10.23	Untapped potential ubisoft come on now.
Epictetus 02.11.23	i mean basically any period of history ever?
combustion07 02.11.23	Damn you've got a lot of time periods here. I haven't really played these games but know the basic idea of the earlier ones. Planning on playing origins soon. I say do one in a World War 2 setting lol probably doesn't make sense but I like World War 2 games
artificialbox 02.11.23	if only the Assassins Creed franchise was still fun to play ;_;
Purpl3Spartan 02.11.23	1, 2, and 9 would be so dope
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	They'd never do 9 but oh my god it would be amazing
Sinternet 02.11.23	half of these would be way too boring or shallow to cover the time period and would mostly revolve around very similar environments, so im gonna go out on a limb and say no to most of these the malian empire would be fairly cool but why would you want that (or any other era) from cookie cutter assassins creed, a series that stopped being unique or interesting past the second installment
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	Cuz idk any other dev making triple A quality productions of historic time periods like this. Also it's my fav franchise ever. Also I disagree I think lots of these have potential.
anat 02.11.23	Isle of Wight 2003
Sinternet 02.11.23	isle of wight is just a permanent time capsule to a 2001 butlins camp, would make a great horror series
combustion07 02.11.23	Well damn the comments here are making me think I shouldn't even bother with Origins. I haven't really played this series at all aside from messing around on the first one for a few hours at a friend's house back when it came out. Origins and Vallhalla just peaked my interest because I'm a big fan of the mythologies and I've heard they incorporate them quite a bit in those
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	Changed the title cuz sins right it doesn't have to be Ass Creed. @anat what happened in 2003?
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	@Combustion Odyssey beat origins and Valhalla into the ground tbh
combustion07 02.11.23	That one just isn't on game pass if I remember right and I'm fishing for a free experience at the moment lol
combustion07 02.11.23	Ah nevermind just checked and Odyssey is on there not Valhalla. Not gonna lie I'm not as interested in the whole Spartan thing as I am Egyptian/Viking stuff but I might give Odyssey a go if it's better overall
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	You play a Spartan but you play both sides of the war. Also you go to numerous other places all over Greece
foxblood 02.11.23	Romance of the three kingdoms is a good historical series. Are there any good american civil war games?
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	Meh, not many I'd recommend... History Channels Civil War FPS games for the ps2 are fun but they are janky by modern standards. @foxblood I actually put the 3 kingdoms on this
budgie 02.11.23	these are hilariously short snippets of time periods. why is the carthaginian empire time period spanning a year? why is antiquity greece a decade 5th century is great for video game potential: huns marauding across europe, battle of the catalaunian plains, angles-jutes-saxons invading british isles and the entire saxon shore system, myth of king arthur, myth of beowulf, clovis beating syagrius and establishing proto france, vandals sacking rome visigoths suebi ostrogoths alemanni etc
foxblood 02.11.23	I know I saw that you listed the kingdoms separately, I'm just saying Romance of the three kingdoms is a good series I wish I had time to spend playing all day
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	@budgie thought it would be interesting to have it before the end of war for Carthage. Also the game doesn't have to take place throughout all the years, it's just a good range where one could get some good storytelling material. Also yeah era of Clovis would be cool, but I feel the time during the 4 sons is RIPE for good storytimes Btw guys if you add some ideas I'll add them to the list.
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	EDIT: just realized I made a mistake with carthage. It's supposed to be 218-209 BC
budgie 02.11.23	yeah any cool media covering the geopolitics and intrigue of neustria / austrasia / all the smaller polities in the area would be excellent and im not sure ive ever seen it really touched upon before
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	If you got anything I didn't think of is love to add it to the list. Just add a years range
Demon of the Fall 02.11.23	‘Isle of Wight 2003’ (2) Although thinking about it I was more of a fan of ‘96-98 ish, peak IOW from personal experience
CaliggyJack 02.11.23	As an americuck I desperately wish to learn Isle of Wight lore
CaliggyJack 02.12.23	Uhh...
Demon of the Fall 02.12.23	legendary mate
JohnnyoftheWell 02.12.23	Isle of Wight 2003 [3] Corfu 2006
