London's one of the most iconic cities in the world, and to prove it, Ubisoft flew an eagle over the English capital and recorded the sights with a 4K camera. Alright, this may just be fodder to ensure that Assassin's Creed Syndicate receives its daily trailer, but we do get a good look at iconic landmarks like Big Ben. The video even switches between real-life and in-game assets, just to prove how accurate its portrayal is.
If that's not enough, the French publisher's launched a website named Eagle Vision London which allows you to explore some of the locations in the game with a bit more detail. It's all high-concept marketing guff, but if you're interested in the Victorian period at all, it's probably worth a look. The game is, of course, out in a little over a week. That reminder may come in handy seeing as next to nobody is talking about it yet.

Nice. I'm so excited for this game, man.
But what's the point of a big, realistic rendition of an iconic city if there is nothing to do in it? That's the question I have from playing every other AC game. They are going to have to answer it thoroughly if they expect me to plunge for this one.
@Totaldude911 I think they always give you lots to do, it's just rarely interesting.
Wonder how long it took to film it all?...i would have thought it would have to have been done in short flights so they could get the eagle back like in falconry...Eagles dont have a homing instict like pigeons lol, actually imagine having a flock of homing eagles that were kept at your house like people do with pigeons...be a lot less stray cats and dogs wandering around...
@get2sammyb Preach it!
@teknium_
It's a little trick really. The eagle soaring is all recorded in one flight, but a drone/ UAV did the actual filming of the city. They filmed the eagle's head from the back for a while and with the magic of filmmaking and some cutting and editing it looks like we're flying on an eagle
