It's not quite the same thing. It doesn't look like the zipper can actually go up higher than it is, and it does make her look more full-chested than she otherwise would.
If it's a real world clothing item, I'm not sure what it's called.

It really feels like this franchise fell off a cliff after last year, I almost forgot this game existed until this thread. It'll be interesting to see the sales numbers for this one.
Looks neat, nice to see the modern day story actually be a thing from time to time, even still don't like that we're playing a non name rando.
I actually like Rebecca and Shawn's new designs. Better than the ones from IV:BF, at least. Animus still features cutscenes with stuff that makes no sense from a story perspective. (Who's watching him write the letter and read it out loud?)
Gameplay looks like Assassin's Creed. Slightly faster combat? Still has the shitty progression systems from Unity. I hope they eventually remove it, because it's kills me. UI could be improved but meh. I like the characters so far.
EDIT: Game actually looks good, looks-wise. Seems they lost some detail from Unity, but that's probably a compromise for the sake of actually running the game properly.

Never seen anyone do this in real life?
Tons of pictures like that if you google "unzipped hoodie".
that hoodie isn't tight though. it makes some sense on a loose hoodie if you just want to show the shirt underneath, but on a tight jacket/vest like hers (and how it's open wide up top and not just a narrow opening) it just comes across as poor character design to make her appeal more to men.
That's obviously a brest.

Ooh modern day. Screenshot makes me think voiceless, first person Ubistergo employee again?

from the video it isn't even that deep
Nah, you play as the voiceless person from Unity. (There's actually two separate voiceless, first person Ubistergo employees!)
EDIT: Watching the combat in the video again, why is it that everyone who does previews sucks at the combat in AC? It's not even that hard.

Man, ubi really needs to get with the times and embrace UI elements that only pop up when actually needed, instead of being forced into hard on/off states.
The model isn't particularly detailed. You're nitpicking.

So this is what passes for "stealth" these days? Random non interactive npcs everywhere that seem to give no shits who this strangely dressed dude running around their factory like a monkey is.
I also see that Ubi's penchant for obtrusive hideous UI has evolved one step further. God these games are getting so played out. They seriously need to just completely revamp the entire gameplay anything less is pointless.

this is a better example:
then no, i've never seen anyone actually wear anything like that in real life
it feels weirdly liberating not caring very much about Assassin's Creed anymore..
i love it for the world it builds each game and the accomplishment of recreating a historic place in time.. and i always feel this itch that makes me want to just jump in for that
but in general i don't care enough about the story or any of its characters anymore to play it day 1 and trying to get rid of the (what felt like) thousands of icons on the map and clearing every meaningless task given to you by the game..

Is this the first Assassin's Creed game with little kids roaming about?
It's almost as if the tutorial area full of factory workers who don't get paid to notice shit is full of factory workers that don't get paid to notice shit and is also a tutorial area. If you watch the rest of the video when the character moves on to a section more densely filled with guards. There's also a part where the other character infiltrates another area with more guards.
I'm not saying that Assassin's Creed has award winning stealth, but you're exaggerating.
It is, actually! Well there were child characters in other AC games that could be found in the free-roam but they were always mission starters and not NPCs.

Watched the entire video and the guy playing isn't that good especially when he was playing as Jacob. Definitely looking forward to picking up on release day. Six more days to go for my last pre-order and pick up on release day purchase until February. Can't wait.
Unity was a solid 8/10 for me and if I can turn off that ring and a few other things, I'll be happy with Syndicate. Like the setup where it appears to be two missions in one where you play as one character and then the other. Hope the game is mostly setup this way as it would be something new, different and allow you to build up both characters equally.
While it may not be saying much, if Syndicate can surpass Unity (which it should), I'll be a happy gamer.

Syndicate surpassing Unity shouldn't be too hard, although reports say that Evie missions are few and far between, with about 70% of the missions being Jacob ones.

Im grinding myself through Unity the last two days and holy shit this clunky controls and animations. You want into a building? You have to fight with the controls and animations...
Made me really mad. Or one coop mission ive played solo where i had to do a flag parkour... it was so annoying.
This clunky controls and outdated mechanics are things that will keep me away from any future Asscreed game.
They actually "fixed" getting into buildings in this one; now if you're near a window while climbing you can press a button to automatically enter. Also, do yourself a favour and don't grind yourself through Unity, noone deserves that.
Cuz gamers are super dumb and can't be relied on to know anything without something on screen for every little thing they could possible do.
Duuuuh...
Which is funny since Unity was the game that was supposed to fix these issues and all they did was make it worse.
No Ubisoft, I won't want to jump on this stomp while a bunch of people are chasing me and I definitely don't want to rotate around it while they're all stabbing in the face.
AC 3 was 'the game that was supposed to fix' those issues. They went from instant chain kills because of the tedious combat to health sponge enemies in this game as well. It's all cyclical.
It's all lip service.
That's the only game in the series that I haven't played so I don't know if they were saying that before the game came out. However, I do remember that E3 demo for Unity showing all the new ways to traverse the environment that made it seem like they had finally figured it out.
It's sad to see that after a fuck ton of games they still can't figure it out and yet Mordon, after one game, completely outclassed Assassin's Creed.

Aren't a lot of the HUD elements removable? The only issue in Unity was if you hold down the R3 button, it makes everything disappear. I would at least like the mini map on screen but its a great solution for people who hate it. Just most people don't want to and choose to complain instead.
I heard the rings are set to toggle as well. Looks okay too, I thought it was going to be completely broken at launch like Unity as most people suggested? The only thing that truly bothered me is how its an "Assassin's Creed" game yet the regular NPC's say nothing as Jacob shut off the machines. Like why not put guards there and you have to lure them away with coin?
It is a tutorial but seems pretty run of the mill. Definitely a buy, however at $20-30 like I did with Unity. The angry resentment towards this game and the franchise is getting a bit unhealthy though.. Seems like every thread is toxic lately with some even calling those who enjoy these games dumb consumers. Chill out, let it die on its own terms.
Best wishes.

The first thing that comes to mind whenever I see an Assassin's Creed game is "that looks like it cost a lot of money to make"

AC3 has children NPCs. They will taunt you in groups in the two cities. And they are impervious to smokebombs.

If it's anything like Unity or most other recent AC games it'll be double that at the bare minimum.
You can even choose which HUD elements to hide completely since the first game. Like, if you just want to hide everything but the minimap you can go to the options menu and do so.
As for the brokenness, it definitely won't be as bad as Unity. Since the reveal they've been much more lax with regards to how they present the game, a lot less super scripted vertical slices and way more just regular-ass gameplay.

Looks like it's running well.
So it won't be a Unity sized disaster at least.

I hope the differential isn't 70-30 as that would suck. Watching the video, I actually like the intro and playing as both characters one after the other to complete different assassinations and both being setup in a different area. Watching that is what im actually hoping for in the game so im hoping those reports are false.
