The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

So I'm confused . Was it every confirmed that Connor will have the "eagle vision" ability?

He should. Next to the hidden blade and free running, Eagle Vision/Sense is a staple of the series.

So the big question is...will he Eagle Vision evolve into Eagle Sense?

Lets hope so!

I think they have a good excuse for Conner getting eagle sense earlier: his experience as a tracker should allow him to tune into that part of the sense,and hopefully it will show up as more footprints and scuffed tree branches, than a simple line.

I second Calvar's hopes!!

FYI, The Crossing will air on American television four times this week. It will be on Ovation November 6 (today), 7 and 13. Then it will air again November 13 on ReelzChannel. Check your local listings for showtimes. This is my favorite American Revolution movie and it doesn't come around often.

I just watched it, it was great, thanks.

The Renaissance is sickeningly over-civilized for me, but this is even more rustic than the Third Crusade. I like it.

Even though ACII is one of my favorite (still haven't beat ACIII due to school), my favorite setting has to be ACI. When I saw Damascus and the music cued in, I knew that I truly felt like an Assassin from the Holy land.

That's good to hear, al-Assas. I didn't expect Hungarian television to carry those cable channels.

Of course it doesn't. I don't even have a TV set, actually.

Anyway, now I'm watching "John Adams" HBO miniseries (2008). It's mostly white guys in wigs screaming at each other, but it has a lot of everyday-life scenes.

I have that on DVD but haven't watched it yet. The one time we tried, stabgal fell asleep during the first episode.

Women...

I don't even think your girlfriend/wife falling asleep beside you during anything is a particularly bad thing. Actually, I think it's kinda cute LOL

Yeah, the first five or six times. Then it's just rude.

I suppose, haha. I don't know, if my presence relaxes her enough to fall asleep, I'd still consider that kind of cool. And if it's something that bores her to the point of losing consciousness, I guess that's not really her fault either. It's kind of like how even among friends, people agree and disagree with doing different activities because some activities don't appeal to some people.

To be fair to stabgal, the Adamses were kinda boring.

You're just taking her side because you know what she did to Mitsubishi...

I finished watching "John Adams", and some parts of it were really boring, but at least I learned that Thomas Jefferson was an asshole.

And of course some characters in the game will be more familiar now.

I'm gonna reach through this screen and hit someone I swear. Some of your reasoning is so frustrating, if you went on youtube and watched one behind the scenes video, all of your questions would be answered. The game is epic and should be game of the year for stinking everybody

We have seen those videos and many more. We've even read articles on the game before and during its release. Sorry you're frustrated at our (well-researched) reasoning behind our arguments, but that's what we do here. We assume, discuss, break down, and dissect the information/experiences we obtain. Again, sorry that your panties are in such a bunch.

Thank you for stopping by.

I would volunteer Assassin's Creed for series of the decade but ACIII for GOTY seems like such an unlikely thing I'd rather not even think about it. Hmm..

Come at me, bro.

Perfect. Everyone knows it's easier (lazier?) to just counter an offensive. Go ahead. Let the new guy make the first move. See if he lands anything.

Yeah, to be fair, coming to a site dedicated to a game where Counter Attacks are a nuke button isn't the wisest thing in the world ;D
