Assassin’s Creed 3’s Multiplayer Touted In The Form Of A Fake Developer Diary

November 2, 2012 by Matt Hawkins

It doesn’t star the people who designed the Animus, but the people who actually made it, if that makes any sense.

Developer diaries are all the rage. Just yesterday we posted one from Ubisoft, who is using the one for Watch Dogs as a means for job recruitment as well. And today we have another, related to the recently released Assassin’s Creed 3. But it's a little different from the rest. It's totally fake for starters.

Instead of hearing from the very much real individuals who made the game, it's the totally fictional people who built the Animus, which is the virtual reality device that drives the narrative and action in all the Assassin’s Creed titles.

As Kotaku notes, the clip above is unlocked when a player racks up enough points in the game's multiplayer matches. The more points one acquires, the more videos get unlocked. Which it turns reveals more about Abstergo Industries, which is the front for the Templars, the primary bad guys in the franchise.

Then, at a certain point, another entirely different series of clips become viewable, created by someone who has hacked into the Abstergo Industries mainframe. The hacker will also allow you early access to certain game features, because that's what hackers do, right?

But there's a price to be paid, one that is settled with real cash. These includes weapons, taunts, and other items, stuff that can be unlocked by just playing the game normally.

Essentially, its every gamer's best friend, microstransactions. But presented in a manner that is at least inventive and in line with the tone of the proceedings. So good for Ubisoft for at least trying to make something so foul and unpleasant go down a bit easier. Somewhat.
