Some people REALLY care about wearing the hood in Assassin's Creed Syndicate

There's no denying the importance of the hood in Assassin's Creed. For years we've been hurtling across rooftops with a character who doesn't need to worry about the wind giving them earache. However, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Syndicate takes away that option and if you🧸 aren't sneaking around in stealth mode then Evie and Jacob are hood-fr𓆏ee with Mr Frye donning a dapper top hat. Some fans, quite understandably, don't like it, with a discussion on asking Ubi Quebec to add a toggle.
There's even a petition asking for the update. "It is a symbol that many have come to love andꦇ would hate to see restricted or taken away, however realistic it's restriction may be given the game's ꩲcurrent time period," says the petition which is sitting at over 500 supporters. "Many support the realism factor of wearing the top hat in Syndicate's Victorian period, and allowing a toggle option would satisfy both parties who want realism and to wear the iconic Assassin hood without having to sacrifice normal walking movements by a forced crouch in Stealth Mode."
Assassin's Creed actually has a history of what I'm now going to call hood-gate. Once you completed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed 3's story, Connor was left hoodless and Ubisoft patched it to return the headgear for free roaming across the Frontier. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Flag also saw you only popping up your hood when heading into stealth situations𓆏 or fast travelling for that iconic broody balancing act on the top of a viewpoint.
I'm happy with the stealth up and down option in Syndicate as it plays a helpful role as you are exploring London. It's more in keeping with the 𒆙modern setting for one. Jump into stealth mode as Evie when you're wandering down the street and chances are an NPC will worriedly ask if you're about to pounce. Plenty of fans too are happy with the change as it clearly separates high and low profile modes.
When asked about the matter on Twitter, creative director Marc-Alexis Cote directed fans to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:two free new outfits comin🦩g for E💝vie and Jacob. That Jacob outfit is inspired by Frankenstein's monster so perhaps a top hat doesn't suit that particular combo of rags and means a hood is the only option. This is𝐆 arriving for Mr Frye on November 17th and Evie will be getting her electric togs a little sooner on November 3rd. Looks like we'll have to wait and see if things are good in the hood.
