The Fastest Man Alive
Oh, by the way, I've been meaning to mention this.
I've been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off, Angel. In the pilot of Angel, which was filmed in 1999, Angel wears two leather sheaths on his forearms that are rigged to reveal wooden stakes with a flick of his wrists. He also uses them a little later in the season, and the shot of him staking two vamps from either side is used in the opening titles.
Joss Whedon created the double hidden blades 10 years before Ubisoft. :P

I just bought Brotherhood and Revelations.
I heard Brotherhood is great, but it does get better doesn't it? The beginning is frustrating to me, it feels like having to start AC 2 all over again having lost abilities and going through all these tutorials....

Yeah, it does get better. Plus recruiting and training Assassins is really fun. The endgame is kind of lackluster (except for when you go to Nevarra) but other than that it's good. Revelations is also pretty good, the hook blade is very handy and the den defense mini game is also pretty fun and the zip lines are also handy. Constantinople is also really fun to go around, if not as open as Rome.

I forgot that the hot-air balloon was invented during this time period.

Riding a hot air balloon any time you want would be pretty sweet.

I will happily buy Aveline. :)

It would appear we'll be learning about Comet soon enough
I actually really hope that it isn't going to be a different game. My brother and I lost our 360 (our only one, and it lasted the entire time we had it, which was I think the entire generation) and I don't want to have to get a new one just to play this.
The Fastest Man Alive
I don't understand. Different game as in not Unity?
Because we know for a fact that it's not Unity. Everything we've seen and been told about Unity indicates that it's simply not possible to run it on a PS 3/360/Wii U. The scale of the city, the crowd dynamics, the new climbing...that is all built ground-up for PS 4/One.

We'll see who's laughing when I can get my copy of Unity into the machine and running the second I get home with it, but you have countless unforeseen problems getting it to run on a PC rig and/or have to buy new components to make it work. >:D
Actually, I'm replacing my computer with an entire new rig for going to college so... HA! And, I don't see any reason why both Unity and Comet wouldn't be for PC. If the issue is the generation gap, PC shouldn't have any issues.

That was just... low, man. 
I just hope for a non-trainwreck PC version. Too much?

What's even the point of Uplay?
Lost in Space
DRM; attachment of your games to a common profile so you can manage rewards, achievements, and such; friends lists for multiplayer games; patch manager. It's an imitator of Steam.

The funny thing about uPlay is that, while it presents itself as a cross-game platform, each title ships with its own version of the launcher that's exclusive to that game. Kind of defeats the purpose. But you have to give them an A for effort, right?

I wonder if they'd ever consider having skill trees in AC. Might not be a bad idea since they usually do upgrades with equipment and there's already a massive arsenal at our disposal; Skills trees might slow that down a tad.
