Hasta La Gadget!

Gamers might have heard that Ubisoft plans to release Assassin’s Creed titles on a yearly basis, and we’re sure that there are some who are pleased as punch with that decision, and there are others who might be worried that […]

We spent some time with Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag where we experienced a ton of new content.

The very talented case modder Javier Riquelme customized several PlayStation 3 consoles for Sony, who in turn gave them as gifts to its partner developers and publishers. With the exception of what seems to be Javier’s trademark flourish, each console looks radically different and suited to its theme. This dude is for real.

As I said, each casemod is unique; if someone told me that the Borderlands-themed PS3 was made by someone from Gearbox Software while the Metal Gear Rising one was made by a cyborg ninja from Kojima’s lair I would have believed that. But Javier does like adding thick letters with LEDs that contrast nicely with the rest of the sweet art on the surface of the console.

All of these look awesome, but I want to shake Javier’s hand just for the Assassin’s Creed casemod. I don’t even like that franchise and I want the console. You can see more shots of Javier’s work on his Imgur gallery, on his Twitter page and on his Facebook page.

Ahoy assassin! If you thought the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Hidden Blade Replica was too flamboyant, perhaps the blade’s updated version will be more to your liking. Made by McFarlane Toys, this life-size replica forgoes the shiny PVC vambrace for a simpler one made of leather. I meant leathARRRR.

As with the previous replica, you don’t have to worry about being hurt or hurting someone with the blade because it’s made of soft plastic. Todd McFarlane himself told Kotaku, “When you press the spring it actually shoots out, like a blade should. There’s a snap to it. Then you get to the end and realize you can curl the tip on it, so it’s not going to do any real damage.” 

Set sail for Gamestop to pre-order the Assassin’s Creed IV Hidden Blade Replica for $40(USD). It is a rare piece of treasure, for it is one of the few remaining reminders of what an assassin used to be. Nowadays, I wouldn’t be surprised if Edward Kenway will end up having a hidden ship cannon gauntlet and neon-colored clothes.

Assassin’s Creed fans are probably already looking forward to the next Assassin’s Creed game, but Ubisoft is reminding its fans there’s still additional content to be had with Assassin’s Creed 3. The first episode of the Tyranny of King Washington was released on February 19, with the second episode, The Betrayal, released on March 19. The third and final chapter of Assassin’s Creed 3′s Tyranny of King Washington has officially been released today and marks the end of this new piece of downloadable content.

We won’t ruin the story in the final episode of The Tyranny of George Washington, but just know King George Washington is on the retreat and its up to Ratonhnhaké:ton to prepare for an assault against the mad king and his fortress. This final episode will also introduce the Power of the Bear, which will allow Ratonhnhaké:ton to perform strikes to the ground that will cause surrounding enemies to either be hurled into the air or crushed into the ground.
