Metal Gear Solid + Assassin's Creed: the video

by Andrew Yoon on Apr 1st 2008 12:25PM

What happens when you combine two of the most popular stealth games ever? Well, you get this. Enjoy this April Fools video, with an introduction by Jade Raymond herself. We won't mention spoilers, but there is also one other special guest at the end.

This is awesome!!!!!!!!

Watching this video wants me to play MGS4 even more... I didn't think that was even possible.

wow, that dragged on for a while...

OMG, OMG, OMG! Snake is in fact a descendant of the Assassins! OMG, OMG, OMG!

Kojima you are God!

So far, this is one of the best April Fools jokes yet. What makes it so unique is that 2 competing companies teamed up to do this. That's pretty cool. Good marketing for both.

Note to self: actually take Assassin's Creed out of the wrapping and play it.

Better yet, Ebay it to some poor sap and buy a better game.

There is no spoon.

Unbelievable. Kojima deserves knighthood.

Entertaining video...but is Assassin's Creed really one of the "two" most popular stealth games? When I played through it, "stealth" had very little to do with it. (Why walk when you can run? Why run when you can fight? Why fight when you can play something else?)

Awesome video, and I hope that Altair's robe is in MGS4, that'd be a fun bonus. Especially if one could use the sword.

That gameplay rocked . Can't wait for metal gear 4 and I hope that assassin creed skin makes it in the final game.

That was pretty sweet. Can't wait for the game, I already have Assassins and I even bought the MGS Essential pack the other day to get me caught up on the series.

Awesome video! What was most amazing though is the fact that it showed new gameplay footage.

Stealth? THAT's what I was doing wrong... That, and punching that "do you have any coins?" chick.

Ahhh the "Don't you have any coins? chick!!! WTF was wrong with her? I honestly couldnt stop myself from punching her every single time...

Anyways i think that game was to repetative, i'm sure you've said that already... i actually regret buying the game.

Honestly I think that was how the game was meant to be played. During the tutorials on how to walk past people without making them drop their pots and stuff, I was like, eff this... me gon stab any fools who get in ma' way!

LOL i love kojima. That was pretty damn awesome =P.

I'm soooooooooo hungering for June 12th.

Assassin's Creed is not a stealth game. MGS is a stealth game - it actually matters whether you're discovered or not. Whilst I like Assassin's Creed, I was hoping it would be like Thief but with an emphasis on getting in anonymously, doing the deed and escaping undetected, with any fight with a guard being a harsh challenge.

Assassin's Creed is closer to Bill the Butcher than Léon. That's not all bad but it's not a stealth game.

Altier costume confirmed for the full MGS4 game pretty much, nice one Kojima.

Source?

The above video?

I think Miss Raymond should consult Kojima when she's doing another AC...at least ask him how to do the cutscenes right...

Or even better, they can team up and make a MGS/AC spinoff. That'd be sweet.

Really wanto play those games!!!!!!

wooot cann wait till june 12
but who made this video it so kool

The dood at the end of the video lol.

That's Hideo Kojima, the father of the entire MGS series.

No, thats MGS Jesus, he has come back to save us from our sins of playing crappy games.

Lol (bold) I (unbold) know that. I was responding to the guy before me.

Eh MGS is like my all-time favourite series lol. How could i not know that? =P

That was pretty sweet, can't wait for the game.

where can i find the down loadable high res. one?

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32438.html

anybody else notice that we were shown gameplay of what the gekkos look like during the gameplay?? that was awesome. this is one of the things i wanted in mgs4, you encounter the gekkos while you're walking around in the game. they're like normal enemies, just much stronger. and yes, an altair unlockable costume is pretty much confirmed.

Very clever, i definitelly enjoyed that. specially the part in which they officially collaborated to create this, both hideo and jade.
Also made me think, it was AC was made that way might have been a playable game for a change!

So very nice.
Happy panda face.

may god bless next gen gaming...

i agree with a previous poster - regardless of whether altair is in mgs4, this is amazing footage of in game game play. notice how the PMC's all tap each other and pull back as the geckos show up? plus it shows how to properly dodge some of their main attacks.

wow, thats jade raymond? Its chick? She's an asbolute slapper. Id play games with her anyday. Loved the ending.

I enjoyed this! It actually showed how the player will fight those two-legged tanks. (BTW, do they have a name)

That was tight. Can't wait fo MGS4. good joke. April Fools you fools

At first I couldn't figure out how they did it. But then the ending gave it away. When I realized Hideo Kojima was involved, I saw that they just went to the Assassin's Creed people, got the movements and maps for the main character, and simply adopted it to their code, and ran the trailer, with a character map befitting that of Assasin's creed. This was not done using video footage and green or blue screens... this was done in CODE. Much better, as long as the parties agree. And since Assassin's Creed is already released, there's no competition. In fact, it's an advert, for both games. Everybody wins, including us the viewers. This is truly where creativity is increasingly moving, something Smash Bros. has known for some time, yes?

Cool video. It was entertaining to say the least.

And I'm pretty sure the whole thing about 12 June is part of the joke, if not a whole new one.

this actually spoiled the gekko's gameplay... it was really something i wanted to find out once the game comes out... argh... that angers me abit :(

also... wats with all the hype with Jade... am i the only guy who doesnt think shes 'that' hot or something... i mean seriously... not that amazing... :S

Okay, I love Metal Gear, and... This makes me want to buy Assassin's Creed. So I will! Good that it's only £25 from Game at the moment. Whee!

Assassin's creed... Swear filter, guys? Please remove.
