Assassin's Creed Easter Egg found in Metal Gear Solid 4

I could be wrong about this, but I was playing Metal Gear Solid 4 again today, and noticed that during the Vamp/Raiden fight scene, all of the buildings look just like Florence from Assassin's Creed II. If you've played Assassin's Creed II, I've posted the fight scene below, and I'd like you to watch it and tell me what you think. I wasn't planning on posting this but I did some quick internet searching and as far as I've found, nobody else seemed to notice this, which surprised me. I think it's plausible that Kojima intentionally did this as Altaïr was included as an unlockable costume in MGS4 and Raiden was a playable skin in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
