You Really Did Get Assassin's Creed In My MGS4! - Kotaku

Kotaku writes:

"That Ubisoft/Kojima April Fool's joke was pretty elaborate! Snake running around MGS4 dressed as Altair, looking for all the world like it was actually in the game...so would it surprise you to hear that it wasn't really a gag? Yeah, that's right. It was announced at the MGS4 wrap party today that MGS4 players will indeed be able to unlock an Assassin's Creed outfit for Snake (we won't tell you how), which were it not for the silver moustache and trademark cigarette would have you thinking Altair himself had time-travelled his way into the final Metal Gear title. How's this happening? Why's this happening? Who knows, the mind boggles..."

I'm not surprised, it almost seemed to well done for it to be a prank and not a little gameplay footage with one of those secret suits that the MGS series is known for.

If this IS true, then no surprise, more like expected. (Assasin's Creed was my fav game of last year, and MGS my favorite series, so, !!!!!!!)

2.1 - "Assassin's Creed was my fav game of last year"
I think that's the first time I've seen the words "favorite" and "Assassin's Creed" in the same sentence. To each his own I guess. =P

Xiphos, Assassin's Creed and Favorite are my words as well. I seriously loved Assassin's Creed.

As for AC in MGS4... BRING IT ON!

2.4 - Assassins Creed
wasn't great. It has some great ideas but they really need to expand the next iteration in a number of ways. Mix up the quests. The NPC's all said the exact same thing on each street whether you were saving them from a group of soldiers or they were espousing their hatred of the "Infidel Christian King." The quests were too monotonous/tedious and the fighting system was too shallow. The game tried to do too many things and ended up being very mediocre.

I could care less about Altair. Jade Raymond in MGS4, now that's more interesting.

4 - This is sooooo Kojima
and its hilarious. I think its a genius idea. Althougn MSG blows AC out of water in every single way, I still think its cool that they did it. I hope theres a ton more suprises like this in the game.

Jade raymond went from attractive woman that everyone drooled over. To attractive woman that people suspected ubisoft of using to sell games. To some stupid whore that everyone flamed everytime she was mentioned in a post.

13 - Not a big fan of AC...
But Kojima is, so it makes sense.

Snake looks cool in that outfit though....

14 - What I think the reason is...
In a few select interviews with Jade Raymond, she mentioned speaking with Kojima about Assissin's Creed. Kojima really liked the game and complimented it as such. This would probably his way of showing himself as a fan of the game.

I personally love Assassin's Creed. The sandbox that dared to be different. Emphisised patients and control during gameplay. You had all the freedom in the world yet bound by this your own personal creed. Despite what people think of it, from a design perspective, it is exceptional. Kojima knows this. I'm tickled to learn that he added an Altier costume. Kudos to him.
