    so book was wrote in 03, not sure how long it took to develop (AC) 1 but just from the 1st few pages it has no common ground with the games. Just some washed up dude tryin to make a fast buck

    There’s someone like that for everything that’s popular, not just games.

    There’s always someone claiming that they invented it first to get some money :T

    If only we had a legit assassins order (insert day dream here)

    Well it wouldn’t be right to assassinate him because of that (if you’re implying that) but yeah, real assassins order would be kind of cool *__*

    just supervision purposes, not assassinating

    then that would be called the order of supervisors haha.

    and there are real assassins anyway.

    You really do have to question why the guy wait so long to try and sue…. its not as if AC was an unknown thing or even kept quiet. Plus I love the fact he’s trying to delay the release of AC3 until its all cleared up (i.e. he was royalties of it and previous games) but seeing as there are already several AC games released across multiple platforms, plus books and collectables etc and have been around for years and are already trade marked under Ubisoft then he doesn’t really stand a chance.

     

    Also have to agree that his book doesn’t really reflect AC much by the sounds of it. Maybe he hopes people will go out there and read his book now….

    imagine if previous ac creative directors  wanted some royalties off ac games before passing away…

    ooohhhh….

    as i said on some other forums, there are the same ideas used in Total Recall [movie]. Also, the idea of experiencing something while being connected to a machine was shown in the Matrix, which appeared in 1999.

    I discussed it yesterday with some AC fans, and I also spoke of Total Recall. It’s merely the same machine. The guy probably waited all those years to gain even more money, but I highly doubt of his winning chances…

    Dont agree with the rate bombing on this guys book. There may be certain elements that run parallel here but nothing overlaps, yes they both use a device, yes they use memories, yes they have assassins. This guy is just gonna end up making himself look like an ass

    that’s for sure, I mean there is almost always somethin similar in different things… like:

    “Hey, I’ll sueJ. K. Rowling ’cause I realeased my book ahead of her and it’s about wizards and a school and a bad guy”
