Is that Ezio's face or do him and Altair in their older years just have freakishly similar facial hair? :P

Lucreto4662d ago

Its hard to tell but I assume it could be Ezio in Altairs costume. It would be weird hearing Ezio's voice with Altairs face but I would reject the idea they had Raiden afterall.

Eamon4662d ago

Technically, both Altair and Ezio use Desmond's character model. Altair's face was mildly covered so you couldn't see it properly. And Ezio had a beard and long hair to distinguish himself from Desmond.

So who knows who's inside that Altair costume?

Quagmire4662d ago

As long as they have a better voice actor for Altair, one who actually portrays a Middle Eastern accent.

Lucreto4662d ago

Its odd Play.com usually have the collecters edition for the Assassin's Creed games. They had the Black edition and the codex edition but no Animus edition.

Gamestop have it now.

Rashonality4662d ago

pre-order it now and get Altaïr Skin.....AGAIN.

So Altair isn't going to be a Uplay Reward anymore?

When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.

The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.

Historic Eras that Video Games Need to Explore

Xfire writes "Worldbuilding is a crucial part of any story. It's not an easy task to create a believable setting with its own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations and then weave a story into the said setting. Luckily, storytellers and video game writers don't always need to create complex settings when we've got history books as thick as Big Chungus.

Historical eras make a fabulous setting for video games. They've already got the world-building nailed, complete with their own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations. Honestly, I don't think I need to justify the fact that historical eras make an amazing setting for video games. If you don't believe me, just go ahead and play the Ghost of Tsushima or any of the Assassin's Creed games."

The first crusade would be pretty sweet. I’d probably enjoy any of those on your list if they were done respectfully. Like not some dork in Portland making a Russian Revolution game.

Benin Empire, Far East, Central America. Games are pretty biased toward Europe, North America, and the Middle East. There is a very big world out there.
