We have seen Feudal Japan, Medieval England, Ancient Arabia, and we know that the Wild West has been confirmed. Now, there are still plenty of ancestors possible, but "Clan of the Cave Racoon" sounds a lot like Slaigh MacCooper to me. Anyone else have some input? I agree Slaigh MacCooper is likely the ancestor of that level.

From what I've seen of the livestream, the feudal japan level takes almost 2 hours to beat. Extrapolating that to the supposed 4 other levels we have about 11 hours of gameplay (assuming prologue and epilogue are both 30 min.) that's below par with the other games, which is why i think and hope there's going to be more. in the livestream they said its definitely the longest game, so I'd be expecting 6-7 ancestors, clocking in at about 13-15h. then again, that may just be me being hopeful but until we have the game loaded up we dont know. I'd look forward to a Penelope+Otto van Cooper level, Sly's Father level, or a Henriette "one eye" Cooper level They said that the fastest time that a tester completed the game was 12 hours... And they also said during the live stream that there is no "mold," and that some episodes will have more missions than others...

Was the 12 hours after already playing it once, so it wasn't a blind playthrough, or was it a blind playthrough? We don't know. If it wasn't blind, then that means some episodes could be considerably longer than others.

Anyway, did anyone else feel that the story during Feudal Japan was, er, disjointed, and it didn't really make sense?

It seemed like we saved Rioichi, poisoned some Sushi, and then for some reason Murray needed to get into El Jefe's house dressed as a geisha; the reasoning for that escapes me. This could just be because we never saw any subtitles or heard any of the story over the three talking.
