What more confirmation do you need? It references a plot point from the game and pretty clearly shows a symbol unique to the series.Percutio said:This could put a twist on Assassin's Creed that I might actually enjoy.
Hopefully this gets confirmed.
I doubt it considering Ezio uncle thought the world was flat, I hope someone gave him a copy of the Divine comedy for christmas because even Dante was aware of both the spherical nature of the earth and the fact it had different timezones and different stars visible in the southern hemisphere.Nickolai77 said:Seems like i'm the first person to notice this....
The Tunguska explosion happend in 1908, the Russian revolution didn't occur until 1917.
If the ubisoft team wish to stick to historical accuracy in their games (they prided themselves on the fact that all the people you kill on AC 1 died in the same year that the game is set) then they should work around this. A nice compromise would be to set the game after 1917, but make it about the event which happend so many years ago. Or indeed, you could perhaps "straddle" the game between tsarist and soviet Russia.
I don't object to gamemakers sacrafising historical accuracy for an improved plot, they do have artistic license. But it is nice to see games, books or movies remain faithful to what historical evidence suggests.
That's one of the things I've always liked about the Assassins Creed series, it takes you to places and times that video games don't normally go. How many games are set in Renaissance Italy and Medival middle east either?Tom Phoenix said:Anyway, I have to say, they chose a very unique setting. The Tunguska incident occured in 1908, meaning this will take place during the time of Imperial Russia. Not many movies/games/comics etc. take place during that time, so this will be a nice change of pace.
When you view the Tunguska incident file, it states almost outright that the Piece Of Eden involved is the staff, especially given that you drag the Staff over to the nuke button.Trivun said:Snip.
God damn it, now I'm feeling guilty. Ah, what the hell.The Ambrosian said:Aaaand, 'In Soviet Russia...' jokes are gonna be half this thread.
OT: Looks interesting.
Interesting topic- In WWII, the Assassins killed Hitler. He didn't actually kill himself, just trick everyone that he did with his Apple of Eden, which he got from Henry Ford, which HE got from Thomas Edison. Piece of Eden no.4, to be precise. Anyway, Hitler was trying to escape with Henry Ford's Apple (he wanted it from himself), but there was an Assassin waiting for him to just step out of the bunker...Patrick_and_the_ricks said:Hmm, Well I figured the Assassins must have done something in the Cold War and
WW2. This could be interesting. Also: In Soviet Russia, Templars Assassinate you! (Had to say it =P)
They must have killed his girl friend to. She was just as bad as him.FROGGEman2 said:Interesting topic- In WWII, the Assassins killed Hitler.
