More news! So PS4 has announced a fancy Assassin's Creed: Syndicate bundle (that comes with a free digital copy of Watch_Dogs for some reason). But, more importantly, there's a new trailer for the PS4 exclusive content, the Dreadful Crimes.
I keep expecting the cutscenes for side content to be simplistic like before - with Unity, quest givers would just stand there and say a few lines before you were off doing the mission. Syndicate, from what I've seen, has motion-captured cutscenes for at least some of these (like the Darwins and Dickens Conspiracy), which I find pretty cool. If there's unique cutscenes for Evie and Jacob, I'll be very impressed.
Anyways, I quite liked the Murder Mysteries in Unity; some were a bit simple, but they were fun anyways. It's a shame not everyone will get to play these. Hopefully they fixed the overlapping notifications at least :P
As for the characters, apparently the older guy is Penny Dreadful journalist Henry Raymond, while the kid is Artie, whose "I do find crime so delightfully entertaining, don't you?" line feels excessively British lol. I'm wondering whether he's got the same voice actor as Léon.
