    I saw a (potentially accidentally listed as Buy Now) ebay posting for Watch_Dogs at $20, so I got that shit on pre-order for so cheap

    All's I'm saying is, I'm going to be thrilled unto bits if ACInitiates undergoes "routine maintenance" on the 26th of May

    AC4 Chicago-related spoiler
    Olivier Garneau disappears during a business trip to Chicago. That can't possibly be a coincidence.

    If Watch Dogs is somehow tied to Assassin's Creed, well

    I couldn't be happier with that outcome

    It already is, the ctOS thing from Watch Dogs is directly referenced in AC IV

    I always thought it was ridiculous that that sword showed up in AC2, but was actually worse than Altair's first sword

    Way to break canon, Ubisoft

    i just wish the protagonist in watch dogs didn't look like a goof

    and it is really, really hard to tell how much of that game will be a cool modern sandbox thing, and how much of it will be scripted set pieces in corridors

    I uh...I think it won't be anything more than that sorta stuff. Remember how Far Cry had some Abstergo stuff in it, too.

    I really love that both ubisoft's portrayal of the city is that accurate and that a lot of those old landmarks are still around

    I saw the [Black Flag] and was looking forward to a riveting discussion on the most overrated hardcore punk band ever, but no, this is about a game i got it for free and still didn't play

    Last night I decided to try and sneak onto one of the pirate hunter frigates without being detected at all. It's surprisingly hard, there's crewmen facing every which way all around the ship.

    Also didn't help that I jumped off my boat the second they appeared on the horizon, so I had to swim for like five minutes before I got there. Still, very satisfying to murder everyone and leave the ship an empty useless husk as you sail away.

    you can even still go through the full boarding cutscene after doing this and just immediately take it

    JayKaosJayKaos Registered User regular
    Wonder how much of a time frame it's gonna cover - that trailer seems very early Revolution, Bastille and all that, but one of the gameplay trailers took place during the Reign of Terror.

    It won't happen but it'd be so cool if Ratonhnhaké:ton shows up as Maestro of the French Brotherhood. All hey guys what's up 20 years ago I did this too, you know.

    Like AC3, there'll probably be Templars on every side of this thing - I'm sure some of the big nobles before the revolution will be targets, and probably Robespierre and many of the Reign of Terror peeps as well.

    Shit, maybe it turns out Napoleon was a templar and the main characters basically fuck up by letting him come to power. That could be interesting.

    it has been established that Napoleon had a piece of eden, so that doesn't seem too far fetched.

    The POE are all over the place, and basically anyone important in history had one at some time or another. George Washington had an Apple, after all.

    That trailer excited me. It suggests either a huge co-op thing beyond the wolfpack thing, or it suggests the much more familiar brotherhood AC3 attempted, with that brotherhood being composed of characters rather than cutouts. I want a big co-op campaign in one of these games, like the Splinter Cell games had going on like 10 years ago.

    I also really want the whole assassin templar thing to actually have very little to do with the french revolution. Both sides could attempt to influence it, but make a mess of it and then Napoleon comes to power.

    And I want Connor and Aveline to show up

  • Options
    Dongs GaloreDongs Galore Registered User regular
    Napoleon is just some Corsican guy who is really good at wars, he was using the Piece of Eden as a paperweight

    You bust up in the King Templars' office in Stockholm or whatever and he's just all "France? we thought you guys were doing that!"

    Actually, have they ever established if the Illuminati were Templars?

    Because the French Revolution was the first big event widely claimed to be an Illuminati plot, after the historical Bavarian Illuminati were disbanded in the 1780s

    that'd be an interesting 3rd party to liven up the Assassin-Templar dynamic

    Deadsec are totally Assassins, huh?

    They hire you to kill Olivier and are a secret organization opposed to the guys trying to spy on/control everyone.

    Stuff from the AC Initiates feed:





    The dude is already confirmed as Adewale's grandson, and the lady appears to be the Russian assassin from the most recent Initiates storyline.

    Wonder if this is teasing Comet, finally, or if it's just teasing further Initiates content. I really hope the former, because I'll be bummed if "Black dude and Russian lady parallel narrative" is restricted to what's essentially a (well-executed) marketing ARG

  • Options

    If Comet exists, and that seems like a huge if, there's no way it's coming this year

    I can't imagine them teasing it this early

    I just can't see Ubisoft introducing a black assassin with ties to another player character and a Russian lady assassin and not having them be playable somewhere after their recent PR fiasco

    They're kinda dumb sometimes but not that dumb
