In GTA V I was like "holy poo poo I pissed in that exact same outdoor bathroom on Venice Beach" and could use my existing knowledge of the city to get around but with Infamous it was basically Space Needle/monorail and vaguely similar vegetation and that's it.

I'm going to Palm Springs in a few weeks and seriously considered taking a detour to Trevor's hood (Alamo Sea/Salton Sea) near by just to see if it's actually that gross.

The thing about the Alamo Sea being Salton Sea is you cannot convey smell through video games.

I'm slightly disappointed that their excuse for spider-bot is "Aiden passes out and Ubisoft is Ubisoft so now you're a giant spider bot. This is probably an Animus thing."

I really seriously cannot even express how much I want this game to be somehow tied to Assassin's Creed, just so I can have another reason to tell Ubisoft to stop making video games forever.

I feel this anger is fairly misdirected at Ubisoft, when they at least produce fairly fun to play games and their CEO's aren't complete pieces of poo poo.

But on the other hand, at this point Assassin's Creed (and apparently that Rabbids poo poo?) is the main moneymaker for Ubisoft that gives them the leeway for everything else.

So if you enjoyed Rayman Legends, or think Child of Light looks good, thank Desmond's dopey looking rear end.

Yeah! It worked really well! Black Flag seemed like a good game but they probably should stop now before it gets run completely into the ground. I am glad they acknowledged that the story is totally hosed and just ran with it though.

This is a good point, I guess. I just hope Watchdogs does not turn out to be Assassin's Creed in disguise. That's all.

Now they can alternate between watch dogs and Assassin's Creed!

Maybe they'll get a third franchise as well to juggle in the same vein so people won't get fed up with the same formulae every time, allowing them to try new things from time to time.

I hope Watch Dogs is in the same universe as Assassin's Creed, and in Watch Dogs you get caught and placed in an animus. Not for the whole game, but for a chapter or a couple of hours near the end.

Your ancestors that you play as aren't Templars or Assassins though. They are early computing and security visionaries. And you realize that as a hacker you've been destroying their legacy. Watch Dogs 2 then has your character switch sides, and you head up, or are an agent for, the Thought Police in the new Ministry of Love in a new Big Brother. Now that's a game I want to see.

There's a Watch Dogs reference in AC4, but it's hard to find and not relevant to the plot. There will probably be a similar AC reference in Watch Dogs somewhere.

Also, I've always been secretly disappointed that the main character isn't a dog.

There was also an AC reference in Far Cry 3, so there will probably be some nod to the AC series. I could see ctOS being made by a subdivision of Abstergo or something.

Have you tried holding A? :v: That's "fast walk" on an Xbox controller. It's more noticeable but not as noticeable as running. Works in multiplayer too.

One of the devs said it was just because they like putting easter eggs in thier games so if you go by that it is just a reference and nothing more.

It could be total bullshit though, it's not like a dev wouldn't lie to hide a plot reveal or anything.
