It's weird how, with these two videos, we've probably seen as much in-game footage of Rogue as we have of Unity. Why is Ubisoft holding back on what is supposed to be the bigger and better of the two? :s

Anyways, yeah, all of it feels very familiar. It's really weird to see the multiplayer compass used during Shay's Eagle Vision O.o I wonder if it's only for these gang headquarters that it does that. Shay's totally doing an Aveline by the way; a lot of his animations are Edward's, like Aveline's were mostly Connor's.

Shay is absurdly overpowered (dat rope dart - even Assassins are no match), so I'm guessing it'd be somewhere late in the game, or they're cheating and giving him weapons we at that point wouldn't have unlocked :P And while I found it cool that the Assassin Leader had so many different tactics to use (air assassination, (infinite) smoke bombs, calling reinforcements, blowing up barrels, etc), I'm not sure if chasing him around actually makes for fun gameplay. I guess we'll see. I pretty much skimmed through the naval gameplay; more key collecting? Lol, I thought he was already wearing the Templar Armor. I like the sunken ships (also polars and narwhales seem cool :3), they remind me of the Northwest Passage (though the "get out of the ship" segment of that mission sucked).

Aaand, finally, I am way more interested in who our quartermaster is than frickin' Haytham, who is basically only in the video because he's Haytham. Seriously, why is he on board? I don't like the fact that they're using the "returning characters like Haytham and Adéwalé" as a selling point for this game :/
