The fifth console entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise. It introduces the half-Native American, half-English Assassin Connor and is set in North America in the late eighteenth century amid the American Revolutionary War.
I must have missed the game where the main character didn't...
Altair could kind of get away with his get up, maybe. But Ezio was almost shamelessly ostentatious with his outfits. He might have been able to blend in with nobility, though, as I believe they tended to wear some pretty crazy garb. Connor's definitely more subdued, and since he'll be lurking around in snow his outfit makes sense at least some of the time.
Then again, I'll admit that all of three of them always look pretty assassin-y no matter which costume you change them into. Wandering menacingly around the streets armed to the teeth and with your face in shadow tends to cast that sort of light on you.
I knew it was coming out this year. I knew it was too long between II. I knew it would be in a different time period, possibly modern, possibly the enlightenment or industrial revolution. But this...This I didn't expect. And It's awesome.
I'd actually kind of happy I've held off on the Assassin's Creed franchise since the first (I do own the second, but didn't play *too* much of it). Even if the gameplay is a little samey, it won't be as stale to me, and everything I've heard about this has made me want to play it immediately.
The beginning of Revelations had it set during a snow storm, and the graphics and dynamics of the snow were amazing. During one of the cut scenes I could not tell the difference between if it was a game or a movie I was watching, so hoping that the utilize the better graphics (snow and such) that the game play will at least be pretty. Kind of like Skyrim.
