That's sad I thought the game was supposed to be oober realistic and yet they don't even have the sun set?? I'm disapointed in Ubi.

prob. because they wanted to use their bloom effects to the max and their shadow effects which are truely amazing, also it just makes Altair that much cooler that he can silently kill his target in broad day light

well to keep it realistic...have you ever been outside in the countryside...like real back country where the nearest town is probably 50 miles away? its pitch stinking black, and granted they have torches...it would be a completly new element to the gameplay. but I agree. it would have been fun. hopefuly it will come in a sequel now that they have all the knowlage under there belt...along with a better story:)

Since they didn't have lights back then, it would have been really hard to create night, unless the sky was illuminated with the more and stars, then that would bring this game to an all new level.

IMO opinion it's a missed opportunity to add some depth to the stealth gameplay. IE, nighttime = more cover from guards but no crowds to hide in.

but thats the whole point of the game is hiding in plain sight. it wouldnt be any fun if it was splinter cell in the 1200s. and there technically is nighttime when you go into the lab and sleep in your bed. thats nighttime

If they did had night time that that would probably make it get less scores because it would be less repetitive and targets would be in different places doing different things

i guess they want to show off their graphics, and the shadows do play a part in the game so you need that. and i guess the only night time is when altair sleeps and it fast forwards.

The answer, besides the obvious ones dealing with game creation, is that Assassin's were supposed to kill their target in plain sight to send a message to others. It would be kinda going against this creed if they did it at night with no witnesses.

Altair goes to sleep, but it fast forwards the memory so when you wake up it's light out again.

Its always day when you investigate and stuff and then when your ready to assassinate someone it fast fowards a day and then after you kill them it fast forwards a day again... So you're fast forwading sleep time always...

I can't believe that you pissed off at a game because of such a thing....
