I was surprised there didn't seem to be a topic about this. did anyone else find the first scene with leonardo as funny as i did? i was really thrown for a loop when it looked like leonardo was gonna come out of that box. i loved how they really played it straight and didn't really even acknowledge it.  are there any other fun references to other video games to look forward to?
i can't believe they didn't mention it on the bombcast it seemed like something ryan would've really enjoyed. unless they did and i just don't remember

Well, I think that is an easter egg considering you can unlock a Raiden outfit for Ezio. I think you do that by geting at least a bronze in everything in virtual training

Well Altiar's outfit was in MGS4 so it is probably a shout out to them for that.

haha yeah, that was great.

Dont know if this is on topic or not, but there is this one boss in Alpha Protocol who will mockingly call out the same things as some of the guards from the Splinter Cell series if your character is hiding during the fight.  This might go unnoticed, but if you've played the first 3 Splinter Cell games for anything length you should notice it immiediatly.

Dude..what if Solid snake was a Templar? 

Hideo was a big fan of the first AC when it was first being shown and ended up putting Altairs costume in MGS4, seems like this was done as a nod to that.

Peace Walker had the Assassin's Straw Box. You could dive off a building into and it would make the noise, and once you were in it you could sneak up behind guards, drag them in and beat them up. Also, the Assassin's Guild contracts in Brotherhood seem to have been inspired by Peace Walker's Outer Ops mode (It's probably just a coincidence though).  

Oh...that kind of box.

oh that why MGS4 was mentioned  in the credits d

the animus is breaking! could this mean  a helicopter fight?

I thought it was pretty funny :P

lol yeah i forgot about that, i completed brotherhood today and saw metal gear solid in the credits and wondered why, well now i know

" Oh...that kind of box. "

Oh god. I just thought of what would happen if the Metal Gear fiction and Assassin's Creed fiction crossed over into the same universe. I think my brain is breaking from the completely crazy/stupid/over-rot/awesome story that would produce.

Maybe abstergo  is just a branch of outer Heaven and In AC3 desmond fights Liquid Ocelot and beats him so hard he stops sounding like Liquid and thats why in MGS4 he sounds like Ocelot and not Liquid like he did at the end of MGS2.

Maybe a peace of eden was in the philosophers legacy which is what gave the philosophers  and patriots power over so many people. 
 
  

I think it would be smart for Kojima to do this.  it would clear up alot of the dumb stuff in the MGS conon.

" @p_p_o_d:  That's a pretty cool random crossover. I wonder how this relationship between Ubi and Kojima started. "

Kojima really liked AC1.   Hung out with alot of the head people of that team when is over for e3 and stuff. 
 
I remember in one of the old Kojima Productions podcasts when they where talking about how they asked if they could put altairs robe in MGS4 and Ubi really liked the idea so I guess they have been doing it ever since.

Maybe Abstergo is responsible for the "VR Training" in MGS's fiction.
