Last time a dev used the word "a love letter" was a while ago... "A love letter to the fans!" - BF2042 and boy, what a letter that was! Pretty sure, from all I've seen so far, that this won't be the case for AC Mirage.

it makes you want to play assassins creed again. i have not touched a game since it went rpg. a friend of mine said he spent 100 hours in origins hearing that made me go oh no, he said there was no rpg stuff in it and he enjoyed his time in the game. i myself have done all up to syndicate. the only problem i had with assassin creed games was that if you have english as language and dont have subtitles on you never get to hear what guards say or anything. a game that required subtitles on was binary domain as some cut scenes were pure foreign language. if they had the ability to have english in the game but have option for subs to come on when they speak a foreign language would be cool.
