More like $80 (including tax). $75 without tax.

What tax ?

So they're gonna release it only in the one country where AC is selling the worst of all countries. Makes perfect sense. What kind of people make these decisions? How do they get so much authority?

Consumption tax. 8% at the moment.

You don't have to add tax to the price, the tax is included

Tax is not included in the price stated in the video.

If you don't believe me, you can check in any Japanese dictionary what 税別 after the price means.

Well seems like RE made enough to make other companies look at the Cloud possibility for ports.

It's quite logical step - whether we like it or not, streaming is something that will eventually be big, if not major part of how games are published. Going with Japan, given their infrastructure and market, is probably best possible choice.

If by streaming you mean delayed button responses, slowdown, and crashing because of something with your internet connection, then NO IT'S NOT!! *detonates bombs planted in abandoned Sears warehouse*

I see things like this AC:O cloud version as tests for the future - that perhaps might not come for 10 more years...but eventually, it will, and it will be Netlfix for games.

And Japan is just about perfect for those tests.

I'm still waiting for Kinect and Wii versions of Assassin's Creed with motion controls:

Maybe they use the JoyCon sensors for some of these moves.
