You climb into a machine that effectively places your consciousness into an ancient bloodbath and just as you're starting to smell the terrible sewage systems of the olden days, Santa appears and starts giving you a lecture on the nature of "do good and you get treats."
Sure as hell scares me.
It's either a Hideo Kojima-inspired Christmas nightmare or a new multiplayer trailer for Assassin's Creed Revelations.
This time we hear about the secrets of Abstergo, about the rewards that can be garnered by sticking with the big company. Houses, money, women, all you have to do is master the animus.
Brotherhood had a great but flawed multiplayer mode, good enough that I asserted that it only ever needed a few minor mistakes rectified in order to be the very best online game ever. Ubisoft ignored my suggestions (and why shouldn't they?), Revelations doesn't seem to have evolved all that much, it still relies on single-player inspired kill animations and the like, things that don't really work in a fast paced online environment.
Revelations is released on the 15th of this month.
