may have misunderstood then, article I read talked about "creating your own master assassin" so I got the impression that co-op chars would be creatable/customizable. if it is just 4 Arnos that's pretty janky (but it's Ubi so that's normal I guess)

Another VG247 rant prompts a response from the company whose game is in question

We recognize the valid concern around diversity in video game narrative. Assassin’s Creed is developed by a multicultural team of various faiths and beliefs and we hope this attention to diversity is reflected in the settings of our games and our characters.

Assassin’s Creed Unity is focused on the story of the lead character, Arno. Whether playing by yourself or with the co-op Shared Experiences, you the gamer will always be playing as Arno, complete with his broad range of gear and skill sets that will make you feel unique.

With regard to diversity in our playable Assassins, we’ve featured Aveline, Connor, Adewale and Altair in Assassin’s Creed games and we continue to look at showcasing diverse characters. We look forward to introducing you to some of the strong female characters in Assassin’s Creed Unity.

Also, a former AssCreed designer, Jonathan Cooper, tweeted that it isn't that tough to create a female playable character. Aveline was almost a complete re-skin of Connor Kenway.

3 years from now we will have a female protag. Bet on that lol

it will be "new and ground breaking for the AC universe (cuz some reason having a black woman on the psp does not count).

That looks really good. This is the first next-gen only game that's on my radar, seems to me like this is going to be a big step up, even from the PS4 version of Black Flag. October's going to be a great month for video games.

EDIT: And within minutes of me saying that, Dragon Age: Inquisition gets pushed back six weeks. So October & November are going to be great months for video games.

Does anyone have a pre-order team going that I can join for the preorder bonus?

**Ratatapa** · 2014-07-23 14:01

what you mean a pre-order team?

**Uzor** · 2014-07-23 20:21

For the unite pre-order program, you enter a 4-man team, and if everyone enters their preorder codes you get bonus items and missions. You don't have that one in the US? Or do you have the spin-thing instead?
