This would’ve been injected with so much modern day crap
There's only one approved narrative when it comes to the Civil War. Even if it didn't have modern woke crap, why watch a story that you already know the beginning, middle, and ending?
Exactly. Honestly I probably would’ve played such a game 20 years ago or so. I’m so burnt out on race stuff amongst other things like girl power and lgbt.
Honestly if you truly want to think out of the box make a game where you are a slave in the Ottoman Empire, or examines slavery of white people, or a slave in Africa getting people to fight the main slave kingdom in Africa
If they were to take things back to the old school style of AC games (and not the modern day open world ubislop), I always thought the golden age of Spain would make a kick ass time period.
Have someone like Antonio Banderas voice the protag, make them sauve and charismatic like Ezio was, maybe have the actual fucking assassins and templars back in the story. Spain was a pretty massive empire back in the day, fought wars, built colonies, conquered a huge chunk of the planet. It’s a narrative gold mine just sitting there mostly ignored by the franchise.
But yeah, they would need to have actual game designers on board and cut all the activist cancer out first. If there are still nigs, girl bosses or fuckin sweet baby anythings in the game it’s not worth even bothering.
Last Kingdom was such a breath of fresh air for making the anti-immigrant faction the good guys and really showing the foreign hordes as murderous rapists. If it were anything but Saxons vs. Vikings respectively it could've never gotten made. Ditto Britannia for the "diverse" Roman invaders being (admittedly sympathetic) villains to the ethnonationalist Celts.
It's why I liked that one comic about the ghost of a Confederate officer who acts as an ancestral guardian for his descendants in battle, and along the line one of them ended up being black. He was surprised at first, of course, but accepted his duty to his bloodline regardless. It was the black man, who had no knowledge of his history, who had a chip on his shoulder for the whole thing. Such a story would never be made today.
I wonder how a slapstick comedy in the style of Naked Gun/Hot Shots set in the Civil War would be received.
Black Confederate (yes they existed) somehow ends up as commanding officer of his platoon. If only Richard Pryor was still with us.
It’s funny because I remember learning about black confederates in school and it was mentioned briefly. I know sons of the confederacy have information but it’s like google hides that info. When I try to get it all I see are “debunking” articles
Like blazing saddles but set during that time? Could be funny
