Assassin’s Creed Unity: Time Anomaly Trailer Sheds New Light on Contemporary Subplot

By

Earlier this week, Ubisoft quietly dropped another new trailer for Assassin’s Creed Unity. The Time Anomaly trailer gave players their first hint at the contemporary storyline that will carry over into the game. In the previous games, Desmond Miles was plugged into the Animus, which detected the “genetic memories” of his ancestors. Desmond Miles is out of the picture, so the main franchise story will likely move in the direction of another character’s bloodline. The previous games featured the ancestors of Desmond Miles, and Arno Dorian is not Desmond’s ancestor. The brand new trailer offers the first look at the present-day timeline. It appears that the stakes of using the Animus have changed. The Time Anomaly trailer offers some exciting new wrinkles for the Assassin’s Creed unity storyline.

The voice of an unknown female character warns an unnamed Assassin that the French Revolution simulation is collapsing. The Assassin is likely the main player or character and the descendant of Arno Dorian. In Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, the main player character was never really named. I assume that could be the case here as well. The sequence in the Time Anomaly trailer shows the simulation of 18th Century Paris collapsing and turning into what looks like World War I-era Paris. The Assassin tries to outrun the simulation collapse and jumps into what appears to be a gap in the Animus simulation. The, the main Assassin player appears to land in Paris, France in the early 20th century where the main character is dodging a subway train. The scene shifts to the Assassin climbing the Eiffel Tower, still wearing his Arno Dorian garb. The Assassin is then attacked by what appears to be a WWII-era fighter plane, with blazing machine guns. He takes it down with a mounted machine gun on the tower. Some type of strange energy phenomenon or a lightning strike is occurring above the tower. An alarm sounds, and a zoom shot shows zeppelins. Could the player have landed in World War I during the zeppelin raids of Paris?

The trailer is short, quick and intense. It is hard to glean too many details about what is going on in the Time Anomaly trailer without speculation. However, the implications of the scenario are now a lot more exciting. According to Ubisoft, the phenomenon depicted in the trailer is a Time Anomaly, a new feature for franchise. This means that parts of the game could suddenly jam the player into other eras in time, including Paris during World War I. The new trailer definitely throws a curve ball in what to expect for Unity. Based on the video, there will be a lot more surprises. I cannot wait to see what else Unity has in store.

Assassin’s Creed Unity hits the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on November 11.

Game Of Thrones Game Leads Into Season 5

By
Telltale Games has kept their Game of Thrones project under tight wraps over the past year. On Tuesday, they finally shed some light on the adventure game based on the HBO show. Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series stars House Forrester. They appeared in George R. R. Martin's novel A Dance with Dragons but haven't been seen in the TV show yet. The Forresters reside in the Wolfswood in northern Westeros. Their stronghold of Ironrath has stood at the edge of Westeros' largest ironwood forest for fifteen hundred years. "Ironrath is a testament to the strength and endurance of Ironwood," Telltale explains . "The Forrester house words are 'Iron from Ice', which echoes their belief that - like the ironwood itself - the adverse conditions and unforgiving landscape of the North only makes them stronger." Like their bannermen at House Glover, the Forresters are loyal allies of the Starks. This puts them right in the middle of the War ...

Matt Cutts Is Going On Leave For Several Months

By
Matt Cutts, Google’s head of search spam, announced today that he will be going on leave for several months. Matt cited the need to spend more time with his wife as being among the key reasons behind his decision to go on leave. When I joined Google, my wife and I agreed that I would work for 4-5 years, and then she’d get to see more of me… And now, almost fifteen years later I’d like to be there for my wife more. I know she’d like me to be around more too, and not just physically present while my mind is still on work. Matt’s leave is scheduled to start next week, after which time he will be gone through October. He has the utmost confidence in the webspam team while he’s gone, saying that they’re much better at spam fighting than even he is. Matt won’t be checking work email while he’s gone, at all. This is a point he repeated several times throughout his announcement. Gmail filters will be set up to forward some of his outside email to individuals on the webspam team, but...

HTTPS As A Ranking Signal

By
Security is a top priority for Google. They invest a lot in making sure that their services use industry-leading security, like strongHTTPS encryption by defaul t. That means that people using Search, Gmail and Google Drive, for example, automatically have a secure connection to Google. Beyond their own stuff, they are also working to make the Internet safer more broadly. A big part of this is, they are making sure that websites people access from Google are secure. For instance, they have created resources to help webmasters prevent and fix security breaches on their sites. They want to go even further. At Google I/O a few months ago, They called for “ HTTPS everywhere ” on the web. They have also seen more and more webmasters adopting HTTPS (also known as HTTP over TLS , or Transport Layer Security), on their website, which is encouraging. For these reasons, over the past few months they have been running tests taking into account whether sites use secure, en...
