'Assassin's Creed' Trailer

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 10:29 AM

Good lord this game looks awesome.

Check it out! It's the trailer for 360 and PS3 title Assassin's Creed!

Click the cut for analysis of "subliminal" freeze frame... will Assassin's Creed be set in the present? The Future?

 

We isolated this frame from near the end of the video:

It seems to show a molecular diagram and hints at something else going on in the game. Something more than its Medieval setting suggests.

 

 

Combine that with film star Kristin Bell's dropped word from IGN:

 

"It's actually really interesting to me. It's sort of based on the research that's sort of happening now, about the fact that your genes might be able to hold memory. And you could argue semantics and say it's instinct, but how does a baby bird know to eat a worm, as opposed to a cockroach, if its parents don't show it? And it's about this science company trying to, Matrix-style, go into peoples brains and find out an ancestor who used to be an assassin, and sort of locate who that person is."

What does it all mean?

Man, I can't wait for this game to hit the shelves. This will be the one game I'm going to be standing in line for, too bad they pushed the release back some. Hopefully they'll only make better what already looks flawless.

God knows your lonely souls by Richard Ashcroft is the song. He's that guy that used to front that group the verve. You know, they had that song, "bittersweet symphony"..........you're welcome

Nice comment "spacemonkey7" too bad you had to waste 30 min of your life just to type it. LOSER!

the trailer is amazing... simply amazing.

Posted by codeazrael - Thursday, May 24, 2007 5:05 AM

And this is one of the games where they commented that because of the ram unified ram structure of the 360 that it will look and run better on it compared to the PS3 version. So much for that "unlocking the true potential of the ps3" I guess they must be talking about that whole curing cancer thing, which I guess is pretty cool. I mean, you gotta use that console for something, after all, there's only so much resistance and calling all cars that you can play in day. What will you do with the other 23 hours in the day? May as well use it for good!

Posted by Spike47 - Thursday, May 24, 2007 8:58 AM

codeazreal please don't start that here. The ps3 has better graphics but it's up to the developers to use it to it's full potential. So what if assasins creed will look better on the 360. I have a ps3 and i bought motorstorm yesterday. Then when lair and warhawk comes out i plan to buy those. There are good games for the ps3 and enough to keep anybody entertained until games like gta4,mgs4, ratchet and clank5,or heavaenly sword come out which are all really good games. I don't get it , It's not like you can go buy motorstorm and resistance and get bored of both games in 1 month. Some people complain about the price of the ps3 and then say there are not enough games out for the system when they know they can't afford to buy 3 games for the ps3 and get bored of them before the ps3's good games come out.

Posted by Red_Army_Sucks - Thursday, May 24, 2007 9:02 AM

i agree with code, it will either look better on the 360 or equal, but the 360 online play has some kickass potential. so ittl prob be better on the 360, but still good on PS3

Posted by codeazrael - Thursday, May 24, 2007 9:59 AM

Oh, spikey, calm down. It's all good baby! And actually, both can display the same graphics. We're beyond that. And I got tired of Motorstorm after a week.......it's too short! The same with resistance. I don't know, I just hope honestly that there are at least a few killer apps coming out this year for the ps3 as its title as industry leader is already gone, but if this holiday season is a flop, it's a safe bet to assume that the ps3 WILL NOT EVER catch up to Microsoft's lead. But they'll still be viable in some ways, they just won't have any hope of recovering the huge marketshare they had last generation. Well, actually they never had that chance. Anyways, how about those cowboys?

Dam, looks great! I want to play creed and find out whats the meaning of the chemical composition sequence that appears in the trailer!

Posted by TheRedStar - Thursday, May 24, 2007 1:18 PM

codeazrael you are dead wrong about PS3 not catching up to Microsoft!!

1st of All look at the amount the systems sold last time around. PS2 had 70% I agree that they won't have that large percentage, but the loss of market share isn't comeing from the 360...It's from the Wii. Nintendo is cleaning house on both systems. 360 are primarily going into homes of people who already had the original xbox, their convert rate is slow(at least compared to Nintendo). Not to mention the failure rate is turning people off to Video games period(I got a few dudes in my office that got the ring of death, & they stoped playing vidoegames, but they aren't gamers there normal people; Normal people are a lot of users).

Posted by foureyes - Thursday, May 24, 2007 1:24 PM

GODDAMN IT THAT'S AWESOME!
Since this game was preveiwed in PSM issue from a while back, I knew that if there was any reason I would want to throw down $600 (I'm dirt poor) for a PS3, it would have to be this. Well, this and MGS4. Also, what does it matter which console this thing looks better on? It still looks incredible and 10x better than anythng for the Xbox OR the Playstation 2.

Posted by TheRedStar - Thursday, May 24, 2007 1:26 PM

PS2's user base is over 100million compared to 360's 10million+. Beacuse of the cost the PS3 user base is slow to convert to the new system. The Media Format war is being won by SONY by over 3 to 1 odds. Also after (less)1 year out it has games that compete w/ 360s. (They may not be system sellers like Halo 3) but '08' is supposidly PS3s year. PS3 will eventualy out shine 360 but It will take time.

Posted by MajorMisra - Thursday, May 24, 2007 3:04 PM

assasins creed owns.

Posted by Spike47 - Friday, May 25, 2007 5:00 AM

I wonder when god of war will come out for the ps3, david jaffe(the maker) has to stop toying with last gen.

Posted by Abraxas - Saturday, May 26, 2007 10:54 PM

If Sony drops the price $100, and they get some nice exclusives this year, Sony will have the same thing happen to it that MS had when Xbox hit its stride in the second christmas. Wait until Christmas before we condemn PS3 to a Dreamcast like grave. Not to mention, its more popular in J*apan than here yet. But it will start showing its life soon, just you wait.

And if I am wrong, I own a PC. I have more than enough shooters, RPG, RTS, TBS, and MMO's to keep me happy for years to come.

Posted by Spike47 - Sunday, May 27, 2007 7:11 AM

I hope you're right abraxas, it's not because i'm a fan, but the ps3 had too much hype on it's shoulders, and when the price was announced, well..... this is what you get, fanboys posting reasons why the ps3 sucks though they know that the only wrong thing abou it is the price.

Posted by Abraxas - Sunday, May 27, 2007 6:53 PM

As far as I can see, a $500 60GB or even 80GB PS3 will be a hot item for christmas. Oh and doing a little research... since Sony was future thinking, by making the PS3 Blu-Ray capable, they increased the price of the system, but I see that as a good thing. For $600 you can get a Blu-Ray player now, and for about 7 months with a PS3, where as new Blu-Ray only decks range from $500-800. Before they were in the $1k range.

But if you want a Blu-Ray player and a good gaming entertainment system, with 60GB HD, you can get the PS3. Its not a bad idea, just it came when the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD was too new for anyone to care.

Ok so now, Xbox 360 Pro is still $399, but if you want to use the system to play HD-DVD, you need to put in $199 more to get the capability. Grand price then, $598. $2 less... does anyone else see something pricey about a Xbox now?

Posted by Abraxas - Sunday, May 27, 2007 7:01 PM

and you only get a 20GB HD. For $499, you can get the 20GB version of the PS3 and still get all the grandeur of the more expensive one and Blu-Ray capability. So I can't even support one argument about PS3 when MS makes you buy a external source for HD-DVD playing, and it has to send the info thru the Xbox to get the HD out to the TV.

Posted by bushidobrown - Monday, May 28, 2007 4:36 PM

yea but the point of a gaming system is the games, and wat games does the ps3 have?

Resistance? c'mon they havent had a good game released in months the 360 has great games flowing out the butthole.

Posted by nomad117 - Monday, May 28, 2007 5:20 PM

the ps3 is going to have a lot of good games there is ninja gadien sigma,warhawk,heavenly sword,eight days,little big planet,And the one i really want uncharted drakes fortune that game is going to be sweet. and some more that i cant think of at the moment

Dear Article Poster,

You lack the thing we call sense and have also failed to do research on the game of which you question the chronology. It is, indeed set in the past and it's 'twisted' (falsified/fantasy) history about an Islamic assassin during the time of the crusades. You do know that genes existed before we knew what to call them?
