Do I have to say, Fucko is one of my favorite burns. For some reason, it has a clownish ring to it. As if you just called him Fucko the Clown, which always seems to brag of class to me....

Its an inside joke I got from Army of 2 when Sid (a jerkoff they dont like) tells them "laters fucko" Then Salem tells Rios, "Fucko, who sais that?"
Anyway, I loved me some Assasins Creed so they need to get to work on 2.

fucko is older than Army of Two. Hell, it was overused when featured in Clerks 2. But for me, it's a classic, never gets old.

Because, this particular story is full of Sony and MGS fangirls who get pissed at the slightest negative comment you say about any of those precious subjects.
LAME! =)

That is funny and offensive at the same time, but more funny.

This really bothered me. I mean, I know that this is just a joke, but just think about it. *SPOILERS* The templars control everything, right? Just like the patriots. Maybe big boss was one of these assassins, and snake is cloned from them.
I mean, I know it's all a joke... but... the similarities between the two games are there. I only mention one, because it's the only one I thought of off the top of my head.
There will probably be some sort of Altair camo for MGS4 as a bonus, and thats cool with me. I would just be incredibly disappointed if the stories crossed over and this were real... but it's not.
But, Ubisoft makes splinter cell, and that would be interesting if they implemented some sort of reference to it in MGS4, one that is more overt than the one in MGS3.

They also believe the knights templar are the Masons which are also believed to maybe in part of or vice versa the illuminati.... Yay for the unknown...

By far the COOLEST collaboration for an April Fools gag I've seen. Kudos to Ubi and Konami, now get back to finishing MGS4!

Ludwig, I know this may sound stupid, but I'm trying really hard to 4-1 prank my fellow writers on my blogsite, http://www.threevue.com by telling them that I've been hired to write for Joystiq. If there is any way you could go there and leave a comment on the post saying, "Welcome to the team," or something, that would be incredible. I know you're busy, so if not, that's cool, too.
And please, commenters, don't hate me for this, I'm just pull a not-so-fast one.

I really want to work for Joystiq, or Wii Fanboy... I think I would be perfect as a Wii Fanboy writer.

I would have liked it more if Altaiir climbed up the side of a wall, dove on to the top of one of those machines and stabbed it.
He then could have run around the corner, sat on a bench, and the entire war would have then passed him by.

There are over 100 programmers working on MGS4, I guess some of them got handed this project a year ago or something like that.

No, Snake wears a generic robe like that in the actual game, watch the MGS4 trailer from E3 2006. They just changed the robe thing he's wearing to the one Altair wears.

Epic. I had a feeling Kojima fight just be a fan of Assassin's Creed. The gameplay video was badass too. It's nice to see them show another environment for MGS4 that isn't the middle east(it looked like a western European or east coast US city).

Why bother with MGS4 when you can play gems like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160224869903&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=006 Which is the best in the series IMHO
