"Drawn forward like a moth to a distant moon"..... Get's me every time. Ezio is by far one of the wisest Assassins. Especially how he turns away from the apple while saying "No, I've seen enough for one life." Such a wonderful game. To bad I feel the rest after have been mostly filler. :( Still a good series. Taught me a lot. Also, keep up the good work +Andy Gilleand. It's always nice to shorten the game up like this to get a recap.
Totally agree. Assasin's Creed was on its prime time when this came out. All went downhills after AC3. Black flag was a good game...but what made AC interesting for me was the story of the ancient civilization. Now they have completely ruined it.
"Work? When I was your age, my main interest was..uh... -looks over at Sofia-" "I'm surprised you got anything done!" "As was my mother." Ha! love that.
The developers said Altair, Ezio and Connor are not related to each other. The cool thing about Desmond was that he has all these important ancestors all related to him through different bloodlines. No other person on earth is related to all those important Assassins except for Desmond.
A little late on my reply, but I think the family tree is that Altair is strictly on Desmond's mother's side, but the Kenway and Auditore families marry at some point on Desmond's father's side.
@@LILBEANSTNWA Desmond is related to all 3, but Altair is not Ezio's ancestor, and Altair and Ezio are not Connor's ancestors. So technically Ezio is not related to Altair, and Connor is not related to Altair or Ezio.
Bloodlines are so confusing lol especially when you add every main character upto syndicate cause all of that was still pulled from Desmond dna right ?
58:00 "He was engaged to my sister many years ago." "And what happened?" "His cazzo (dick) was engaged to six others." *>dies of laugher* Yes Ezio, you still have *plenty of outlets.*
EVERY TIME I see that transition where Altair sits, camera pans around to reveal Ezio kneeling at his body's feet...I get goosebumps. This is by far my favorite ending to any of them, though AC4 had a good finish even if the story was weak til the 3/4 mark. I remember when these first came out and people bitched so hard about having multiple Ezio games...now that they only really feature them for 1 game apiece I miss it. I miss seeing a literal lifetime of growth from a character, from age 17 to 47 (+ embers, died at 65). I miss uncovering a huge mass of interweaving story and feeling like I WANTED to collect all the hidden cutscenes. I miss -- I'mma say it-- I miss Desmond and Co.'s introspection on everything. I now know what a Sonic fan feels like.
People who think Revelations is a filler should reconsider the game and get it if you love the story. Or watch it here and save money. Revelations ties up the loose ends of both Ezio and Altair, showing both of them aged and old and how both grow; essentially accepting that their role was merely to be a medium for Desmond and that they leave their legacy to the future. A lot of great and sad scenes and also redeeming romantically for Ezio as he finally falls in love again after being deprived of it since Cristina's death.
I agree. It was a fairly good closure to their stories. I just think it didn't feel as "gigantic" as it felt in Assassins Creed II (which to be honest could not be topped since it was coming from Assassin's Creed I when technology wasn't too great).
I dunno... Ezio kind of annoys me in this game, perhaps because Yusuf was awesome character and got killed because of Ezio's love interest. Well, he's just a man, I know. But he knew Sofia would be in danger if they get too close. Don't get me wrong, I get the fact he has fallen in love and good for him but he's then shocked to find out Yusf has been backstabbed by templars. Really? Was this really that surprising? Considering the fact he knew about the risk and most likely there were more templars in the city than assassins altogether.
***** I don't think Embers really ties the loose ends. I mean yeah he had a daughter and he dies on a bench of old age. Not really a loose end. It just brought a new loose end into the picture which was Shao Jun. A young, desperate assassin who wishes to learn how Ezio took down the Borgia's (as the Pope was the most powerful man during that time period). IMO I think it was a video to show all the Ezio fans that they won't visit Ezio again as the feature for a game.
Ann Darkwater In Ezio's defense... he is older now. Old age does do a lot of things to a person and not just the 5 senses either. It also affects your thinking/concentration/awareness. Second, I think they killed off Yusuf just to throw a little sadness into the story. I mean honestly, Revelations was like the only game that wasn't overly depressing as the other two Ezio feature games... although that one scene with Altair watching his wife die and hearing his son heard a lie of how his own father ordered the execution before his death was sad.
It's great to see how much better the script and storytelling has improved over the course of the series, not to mention making the cities feel more alive and realistic.
I feel Altair and Ezio had it the worst Altair- his wife died and his son as well thinking his father wanted to kill him Ezio-his pops and brothas were hung and his uncle supah Mario took a blow to the head Connor-his mom and village mates were pushed off their land and killed(I think) Edward-most of his best friends were killed by their own folly Arno- his pops and his gurl died
That's the way it works when you choose this life. Those people were assassins or just people who lived in the violent life. If you choose this life, you must accept the fact that there is a possibility that you may not make it out alive. People who lose loved ones are usually the best recruits because they have nothing to lose.
Josh Feng Are you kidding me? Altair and Ezio had their Creed and friends! Everything they worked for was accomplished! They lived and died happily, knowing they did their part as Assassins. Do you know what happened to Connor and Edward? From the start, they were doubted, judged by their actions, lost friends and had no one by their side. In the end, they fought and died alone. Connor's wife left him, took his children and he died in a battle. Edward's daughter was kidnapped by his assistant, Reginald Birch, who then killed him and raised his son as a templar.
If the games never existed, and only a movie did, even this simple clips being taken would've made so much. The story isn't destroyed and the clips are really well done! Love this!
Now it makes sense! I never knew why Desmond killed Lucy (or was forced to anyway) but now I just realized at the end of Brotherhood I heard Vidic tell Lucy "Bring me the Apple and you will be my top agent." I know you edited that but... wow!
Thank you so much for doing this. Since early 90s and 00s I was a big gamer. But now with, work, kids and new home, I have no more time for video games. It was a big part of me growing up. With these movies you made, it helps satisfy my old gamer self and enjoy the games. Love the series and a big thank-you for doing this.
thanks for taking the time to create this video brother, because of this i can watch all the story at any given time without having to replay the game again
I watched these because I bought AC Black flag. Was not at all expecting to be blown away by the story this much. Amazing and thank you for making the movies!
I don't know about you all, but I loved Ezio's saga. Each of them was amazing. Never have I come across a game with a character with so much personality that makes him so real and makes him my idol.
+LinkHeichou To be more precise: "The standart Ottoman Hookblade has two parts, you see. The hook and the blade, so you can use one, or the other. An elegant design." (By memory)
Assassin's Creed people did this right. Evil doesn't just have one face, one group, one philosophy. Even the most truly benign of philosophies, political factions, religions and creeds can be infiltrated, manipulated, used, abused, extorted, etc. in order to be used for evil purposes. Even assassins can be corrupted and the creed can be corrupted and manipulated to align themselves to evil, like we saw with Althair's story and those who were assassins can loose track and turn like that Irish dude in Rogue. The Templars use whatever they need to in order to mobilize their philosophy and practice their dogma, if one facet, tool, or person fails they already have their arms in other facets, tools or people from different sides of the aisles/world. What is sad is when they use something truly benign to then distort it, causing pain and suffering which then leads people to believe that all of those that follow that creed are bad. Anyway... I appreciate that from AC's creators and so on because this is actually #RealLife lesson. Even though a work of fiction, they do have humanity pegged right.
Thank you Andy for Posting these videos. I never played the games before,but my fiance played them till 4 am in the morning and did not understand why he loved it so much. He told me to give it a chance and watch your movies and needless to say ,i fell IN LOVE with the game and the story itself! So much that i am hooked and have watched 4 of the movies you have posted so far. Thanks! I enjoy them very much!
In the sense of the main story of AC, the modern day. Obviously it's a fantastic story about Ezio and Altair's later lives, but what I meant was, if you went straight from Brotherhood to AC3, it wouldn't really feel like you missed anything, because for the most part, there isn't really much new information about the overarching story given to the player. The very end scene does contain some information, but it's nothing that isn't recapped in AC3, so like I said, sort of feels like AC3 wasn't quite ready so they threw something together fairly quickly, and didn't really have much in terms of important modern day story to add. Also, without Revelations, Ezio's story still had an ending in Brotherhood, similar to how Altair's story ended before that as well. Just because there was more of his life to tell, it doesn't mean it was necessarily important to see. It's still a great story and one worth seeing for sure. It's just that in terms of importance to the larger story of AC, it's minimal.
I love that Altair said “I wish I could have said I’ve seen enough for one life time” and when presented with the opportunity to learn more from the apple ezio says “I’ve seen enough for one lifetime” exactly what Altair wished he could have done.
I grew up watching my brother play these and I must say Ezio is the best character by far they put in so much time building his character I feel we're still missing so much from him! I know people got pissed that it was all about Ezio but he is a major part of the story and helping Desmond! I think for assassin's creed they need to focus on one character and build up the character to make me feel like i know them 😂😂👌🏼
when you compare gameplay the new will always be better, when you compare characters i believe they both have strong pros and cons. Also the guy who writes the story (dont remember name) said that a fight between Ezio and Edward, Edward would win, as their skill is equal but Edward plays dirty.
visa422978 ummm what? no its not. assassin creed 1 was the most famous, which prompted people to get AC2. not only i AC2 not the best selling, its not even second... ezio was barley an assassin really, compared to the others.
visa422978 Ezio is epic. Edward was not very interesting and the game (AC4) was too hard to roam around in; his grandson Connor is my other favorite tied with Ezio. So yes, he is epic.
Shadow Gamer 1990 I dont think it died,it just went sideways. Conor was still good. And honestly I dont know why I am replying to a 4 year old comment Peace
I absolutely adore how Ezio was introduced in this game, how 16 mentioned that Desmond needs to “finish what he started” & then immediately the game switches to Ezio writing to Claudia & journeying to Masyaf. That made me tear up when I started playing this game a few months ago for the first time because it really felt like we’ve come so far with Ezio but there’s still so much left to do. Amazing.
Thank you Andy for making the movie of revelations. The script for this game is incredible and the soundtrack is so emotional. And your editing just makes it perfect. Also saw the brotherhood movie of yours,just to know the history better. Have not played ezio games except the first one. But damn,revelations got to me.Just wow. Cant get enough of that moment when he finds altair in his library,amazing. Thanks for the hard work man,appreciate it.
As a kid I used to play assassins creed to enjoy climbing on walls, running on rooftop, killing templars and was never focused on the great storyline and on the wisdom in the words spoken by the 2 great characters Altair and Ezio. But now as an adult, having watched ac1, ac2, brotherhood, revelation on youtube, I learned invaluable lessons. The Assassins Brotherhood taught me loyalty and dedication to a cause. Made me realize the importance of having a purpose in life and to stand up and fight for what you believe is right. Rest in peace 2 great fictional characters in gaming history Altair and Ezio.
As kids, it's hard to appreciate a story when you want to have fun. I still remember important bits from the story as a kid, but didn't really understand much. Now being older, the same as you. Understanding and loving it even more then I did when I was young.
This is what i would call a legit gamingsin. During the fight in the beginning, Ezio's left hidden blade broke, but when he retrieved back his gear, the right hidden blade is the broken one. Note that Ezio's main bracer with all the attachments is the left one.
+IantheGamer A lot of people couldn't relate to much of the story, and it's a short game. Most people love the ending, but felt the game was too short and uninteresting. I kind of agreed with that the first time I played it, but when I replayed it to make the movie, and while editing the movie, I got a better grip on the story and really enjoyed it a lot more. I highly recommend replaying this game if you didn't care much for it the first time.
+IantheGamer Because it was too short (I beat the main story in *5 hours*). Not only that, but a lot of us bought it because we wanted to know what happened Lucy, and how would Ezio's story end. Instead, Lucy's reason for death and fate was explained in a real cheap way in a DLC you had to purchase, and Ezio's story felt like had no advancement at all (it was just a filler). Gameplay-wise, it felt too easy, and the whole deal about the "new bombs" and "Eagle sense" didn't add nothing new to the series (in fact, they dropped it, because of how useless it was) . Personal reason, because this is when AC franchise died for me.
Wow, this one was great as a movie! Good job Andy! The story was very well structured and really gripping. Gameplay never distracted from it and actually watching the whole tomb raiding scenes was great. I loved the Turkish setting for this game and I liked the way it tied a lot of stuff up, but the very end felt slightly rushed. Would have liked to have seen the prince once more to give a little insight to the future of Istanbul. Also might have been nice for Etzio to have a 'riding into the sunset' moment. Really enjoyed this one though! Looking forward to finding out more about who this Bill character is. Desmond's father I'm guessing. Next week I'll watch no. 3.
There have always been two things I don't get about the Hookblade; 1. Why is the Hookblade needed for a hook-and-run? What exactly are you doing with the blade during that move? 2. How the Christ are you meant to stab someone if the Hookblade has a hook instead of a blade tip?
I still can't believe you dedicated the time to making these. I couldn't get into AC Rev for some reason but the ending was great. Thanks. Can't understand the downvotes.
The Ishak Armor was sooooo badass. Also, this game perfected the Brotherhood system, all games before and after have been missing something. In Revelations your recruits actually had individual missions,they use a combination of 3 different weapons which was more useful than everyone using swords and crossbows, and at Assassin Rank they had amazing suits and could only really die to Jannisery's
There's a mission in AC3 fir every recruit where you recruit them as an assassin and then kill the templar leader in that burrow. You coupd also talk to them in a tavern
That was an edit. I edited in those conversations into gameplay because just standing around in animus island wouldn't really work very well for a movie.
Altair the legendary protector & keeper of secrets,Ezio the leading mentor as messenger & Desmond the future( unfortunately sacrificed his life). This is not just a game,it's a legacy that redefines human life & surroundings.
AC Revelations had a great story, and all the tieing back to AC 1 was done in perfection, the problem I had with Revelations was the tower defense, the poor system in place to get rid of notoriety, and the fact that buying and improving shops to strengthen the economy made you the bad guy to not only Templar's but all city law enforcement. Other than that it was good, it was the first game where I blitzed through the story because I always needed to know what happened next. I had 17 hours in on Revelations, my shortest time through an AC game, but that's also in part to me not liking many gameplay mechanics implemented.
My favourite AC games: 1.) Ezio-Trilogy (1. AC II, 2. Brotherhood, 3. Revelations, by far the best games. Ezio was a great character with an authentic and exciting story/character development. The cities like Firenze, Venezia, Roma, Istanbul... I loved it strolling around in the streets.) ♥♥♥♥♥ 2.) Black Flag (I like Edward, he reminds me more of Ezio than for example Connor did. And I liked it how Edward became an Assassin by accident. Also I enjoyed the world, the story and the gameplay) 3.) AC I (it's really good because of the story and its originality, but the gameplay is quite drab) 4.) Unity (so far. Didn't finish it until now because I don't like it that much, but I like it more than...) 5.) AC III (imho the worst AC so far, didn't like the story [I always had the feeling that there was something missing, in my opinion the story wasn't coherent] and I really despised Connor...). I didn't play AC Rogue or the Extras like AC Liberation or so. I'm pretty excited for AC Syndicate. I hope it will be better than Unity. The Victorian London is a location I'm really looking forward to (more than Paris).
SO every few months or so I go back and watch these all over again. They are easily the best out there and much better then watching a 20 hour lets play of it. Really looking forward to seeing Liberation and Freedom Cry (if you do them) and then Rouge after it comes out because I just get the feeling I am not going to like it. Keep up the amazing work on these Andy.
I agree. After black flag it went on a downwards spiral. The series was about Desmond. You should see the video where Nolan North (Desmond's voice actor) explained the original ending to the series. That's what should've happened.
You got to love that 'Q' from Star Trek voices William Miles: Desmond: "Dad?" Bill: "The assassins have taken me back! I'm immortal again! Omnipotent again!" Desmond: "Swell..."
I've always wanted to but have never had the chance to play the video game... However, I have been watching the main series in quick succession... AC: Revelations has the best writing, acting, cinematography and musical compositions, in my opinion... The story was very well integrated and more grounded in characterization than the previous 3... Either way I can honestly say that the Assassin's Creed series is the best video game i've never played!!
I can't lie, you may be right. But it may turn me off Assassin's Creed, but then again i've never been a fan of online multiplayer in any game. The only thing that bothers me is by adding multiplayer i felt that the single player experience could have been even better than it is now (and it's already damn good) because they're using some of that time to work on multiplayer.
Thanks, i'll check em out aha! Glad I just picked up both of them during Steam's holiday sale! I'm just surprised that the story is still pretty damn long and in depth for including a multiplayer.
Or at least something like it. Altair and Ezio both respected the people they killed. They honored the dead. The other characters have all been angry or sarcastic at their kills, and while often justified, I personally feel like this goes against the spirit of the creed.
assasin creed games are all this good,arent they? only bad thing i find is that the enemies you are not directly fighting ARE JUST STANDING IN THERE STARING AT YOU....too easy like that,compared to what would normally be.. :(
This game is genius. For so long I wanted to have it, but it is enough to see the movie and I feel like I live a legend. I don't know how to explain such thing, but I feel something very, very deep.
Thank you so much for uploading the assassins creed movie series i have black flag and unity which means i never knew about Ezio or anything now thanks to you I am in the know!
Andrew, they met in AC 2 when Claudia was crying because of the rumors she heard about Duccio with other girls. It was one of the main missions, but I don't know if it even affected the whole story. See the movie for AC 2 and you'll see. They then met in Brotherhood fighting. Then, of course, in Revelations, Duccio ran away. Finally, Duccio dies by being dragged away by a wolf or something.
I've been to Istanbul, including Topkapi Palace, The Hagia Sophia, and The Yerebatan cistern. It's an amazing feeling to see those locations created so carefully in a video game.
One thing I don't understand. So memories are passed down through dna right? Meaning the child can only have memories of the father up to the point when he/she is conceived and any experiences after that aren't passed down, at least until the parent has another child. So there should be no way they can see the memory of Ezio in the library at the end or any other memories of him after his youngest child was born since those are never passed down
His child was born after the events of this game. Or if you're talking about Altair, that's actually Ezio seeing those memories which were recorded on those First Civilization artifacts, not from the Animus.
General Steelflex no I'm talking about Ezio. He died in the library and so had no way of passing on the memories of him seeing Altair's body and talking to Desmond, so how can Desmond see those? Idk it's just a plot hole I realized while revising it
Subject 16 was lost forever when he sacrificed himself in ACR. One could argue Desmond could be saved the way 16 was before ACR, but the devs seem to have said that's not going to happen.
I'm not a gamer, but I really like the intricacies of the Assassin story line. I'd love to have these in a book series and even broken into movies! Thank you for putting these together. I appreciate that you take more of the "gaming' out and leave it more like a movie!! Also appreciate that they are cleaner movies. I have watched them all and am looking forward to the new one coming out, although I must admit I'm not sure I'm going to like it, but hey I could be surprised! Thanks again, from a non-gamer!
+shoachiwarrior There is a book series about the games and there's an upcoming film about Assassin's creed with X-men First Class' Magneto playing the main character.
I decided not to keep playing the game about the time the first tower defense mission happened. thank you for putting this together, now i know what happened to Etzio and Desmond. time for III
+ianj1828 that "first" tower defense level is actually the only required tower defense level in the story. I don't think you'd see another unless going for 100%, and even then I'm not sure.
"Drawn forward like a moth to a distant moon"..... Get's me every time. Ezio is by far one of the wisest Assassins.

"Work? When I was your age, my main interest was..uh... -looks over at Sofia-"
"I'm surprised you got anything done!"
"As was my mother."
Ha! love that.
What a spectacular ending to the Ezio trilogy. I felt very emotional at the end. I felt as if I truly lived thru Ezio's life.
Indeed! Salute 🔥
The developers said Altair, Ezio and Connor are not related to each other. The cool thing about Desmond was that he has all these important ancestors all related to him through different bloodlines. No other person on earth is related to all those important Assassins except for Desmond.

Ok thnx
Bloodlines are so confusing lol especially when you add every main character upto syndicate cause all of that was still pulled from Desmond dna right ?
A wealthy inheritance... Trained like a ninja... A range of revolutionary weapons... And driven by vengeance? That settles it... Ezio is Batman!
Mature Ezio anyways... Young Ezio sucked!
+Raphael Loh imo he looked better when he was younger.especially the default clothes besides the assasin outfit
Same vioce actor gave his voice to Batman from Arkham Origins.
+Gaming Killer I lik this assassin's outfit that he has now it fits him better
Please don't insult el mentore that way.
58:00
"He was engaged to my sister many years ago."
"And what happened?"
"His cazzo (dick) was engaged to six others."
*>dies of laugher*
Yes Ezio, you still have *plenty of outlets.*
Quote: "All that is good in me, began with you, father." - Darim...the feels... :3
Ezio will always be one of my favorite video game characters just cuz of his personality!
The game wasn't perfect, but god damn, how can you not get chills watching the last 20 minutes if you're an AC fan.
EVERY TIME I see that transition where Altair sits, camera pans around to reveal Ezio kneeling at his body's feet...I get goosebumps. This is by far my favorite ending to any of them, though AC4 had a good finish even if the story was weak til the 3/4 mark.
I remember when these first came out and people bitched so hard about having multiple Ezio games...now that they only really feature them for 1 game apiece I miss it. I miss seeing a literal lifetime of growth from a character, from age 17 to 47 (+ embers, died at 65). I miss uncovering a huge mass of interweaving story and feeling like I WANTED to collect all the hidden cutscenes. I miss -- I'mma say it-- I miss Desmond and Co.'s introspection on everything.
I now know what a Sonic fan feels like.
That epic moment when Ezio speaks to Desmond across centuries. And they are related by DNA
Thank you for making these movies. It has helped me a lot in understanding the lore of the game.
SpaceAmbient yeah
People who think Revelations is a filler should reconsider the game and get it if you love the story. Or watch it here and save money.
Revelations ties up the loose ends of both Ezio and Altair, showing both of them aged and old and how both grow; essentially accepting that their role was merely to be a medium for Desmond and that they leave their legacy to the future. A lot of great and sad scenes and also redeeming romantically for Ezio as he finally falls in love again after being deprived of it since Cristina's death.
I agree. It was a fairly good closure to their stories. I just think it didn't feel as "gigantic" as it felt in Assassins Creed II (which to be honest could not be topped since it was coming from Assassin's Creed I when technology wasn't too great).
on the contrary, i think AC Revelation had the best story by far.
I dunno... Ezio kind of annoys me in this game, perhaps because Yusuf was awesome character and got killed because of Ezio's love interest. Well, he's just a man, I know. But he knew Sofia would be in danger if they get too close. Don't get me wrong, I get the fact he has fallen in love and good for him but he's then shocked to find out Yusf has been backstabbed by templars. Really? Was this really that surprising? Considering the fact he knew about the risk and most likely there were more templars in the city than assassins altogether.
***** I don't think Embers really ties the loose ends. I mean yeah he had a daughter and he dies on a bench of old age. Not really a loose end. It just brought a new loose end into the picture which was Shao Jun. A young, desperate assassin who wishes to learn how Ezio took down the Borgia's (as the Pope was the most powerful man during that time period). IMO I think it was a video to show all the Ezio fans that they won't visit Ezio again as the feature for a game.
Ann Darkwater In Ezio's defense... he is older now. Old age does do a lot of things to a person and not just the 5 senses either. It also affects your thinking/concentration/awareness.
Second, I think they killed off Yusuf just to throw a little sadness into the story. I mean honestly, Revelations was like the only game that wasn't overly depressing as the other two Ezio feature games... although that one scene with Altair watching his wife die and hearing his son heard a lie of how his own father ordered the execution before his death was sad.
It's great to see how much better the script and storytelling has improved over the course of the series, not to mention making the cities feel more alive and realistic.
about that...
I feel Altair and Ezio had it the worst
Altair- his wife died and his son as well thinking his father wanted to kill him
Ezio-his pops and brothas were hung and his uncle supah Mario took a blow to the head
Connor-his mom and village mates were pushed off their land and killed(I think)
Edward-most of his best friends were killed by their own folly
Arno- his pops and his gurl died
That's the way it works when you choose this life. Those people were assassins or just people who lived in the violent life. If you choose this life, you must accept the fact that there is a possibility that you may not make it out alive. People who lose loved ones are usually the best recruits because they have nothing to lose.
What a co incidence!
Josh Feng Are you kidding me? Altair and Ezio had their Creed and friends! Everything they worked for was accomplished! They lived and died happily, knowing they did their part as Assassins.
Do you know what happened to Connor and Edward? From the start, they were doubted, judged by their actions, lost friends and had no one by their side.
In the end, they fought and died alone. Connor's wife left him, took his children and he died in a battle. Edward's daughter was kidnapped by his assistant, Reginald Birch, who then killed him and raised his son as a templar.
Seversher How did you know Connor died in a battle? Or are you refering to Edward? Because as far as I know Connor's death isn't known yet.
Nobblk Praetorian It says in the Abstergo Employee handbook from AC: Unity. But, it also, says he died of depression.
If the games never existed, and only a movie did, even this simple clips being taken would've made so much. The story isn't destroyed and the clips are really well done! Love this!
Now it makes sense! I never knew why Desmond killed Lucy (or was forced to anyway) but now I just realized at the end of Brotherhood I heard Vidic tell Lucy "Bring me the Apple and you will be my top agent." I know you edited that but... wow!
yep, that line is from Revelations DLC, but I thought it was important to edit it in there
where ? cant find this scene
It's in the Lost Archive DLC for Revelations, but I included it in my Brotherhood movie.
great edit andy
Thank you so much for doing this. Since early 90s and 00s I was a big gamer. But now with, work, kids and new home, I have no more time for video games. It was a big part of me growing up. With these movies you made, it helps satisfy my old gamer self and enjoy the games. Love the series and a big thank-you for doing this.
Yusuf seems to be the only assassin that has a lot of fun.
I know, me too. If I could have prevented any character at all from dying, it would be him. He was so colourful.
I haven't watched the whole thing yet!!!
Sorry for spoiling it. :(
thanks for taking the time to create this video brother, because of this i can watch all the story at any given time without having to replay the game again
I watched these because I bought AC Black flag. Was not at all expecting to be blown away by the story this much. Amazing and thank you for making the movies!
Vikram Singh You are just... wrong
AC3 was different and I didn't like it at first but it did grow on me
Vikram Singh I agree with you!
I didn't hear the present day convos when playing this :(

Fancy seeing you here
So far Revelations had the most "Wow" factor of all Assassin's Creed games.
Really?... So AC: Revelations has been the Creed game with the biggest revelations?... Wow.
Well, duh. That's why it's called Revelations :D
Deroni76
I believe that was sarcasm in response to your previous statement of the obvious...
Yep, mainly because it fully told us the story. The origins, legacy and what waited at the end.
I don't know about you all, but I loved Ezio's saga. Each of them was amazing. Never have I come across a game with a character with so much personality that makes him so real and makes him my idol.
THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THE HOOK BLADE
THE HOOK
AND THE BLADE
+LinkHeichou To be more precise: "The standart Ottoman Hookblade has two parts, you see. The hook and the blade, so you can use one, or the other. An elegant design." (By memory)
I bet it
I get it
Typo
and there are 2 parts two the rope darts. the rope, and the dart.
Assassin's Creed people did this right. Evil doesn't just have one face, one group, one philosophy. Even the most truly benign of philosophies, political factions, religions and creeds can be infiltrated, manipulated, used, abused, extorted, etc. in order to be used for evil purposes. Even assassins can be corrupted and the creed can be corrupted and manipulated to align themselves to evil, like we saw with Althair's story and those who were assassins can loose track and turn like that Irish dude in Rogue. The Templars use whatever they need to in order to mobilize their philosophy and practice their dogma, if one facet, tool, or person fails they already have their arms in other facets, tools or people from different sides of the aisles/world. What is sad is when they use something truly benign to then distort it, causing pain and suffering which then leads people to believe that all of those that follow that creed are bad. Anyway... I appreciate that from AC's creators and so on because this is actually #RealLife lesson. Even though a work of fiction, they do have humanity pegged right.
Thank you Andy for Posting these videos. I never played the games before,but my fiance played them till 4 am in the morning and did not understand why he loved it so much. He told me to give it a chance and watch your movies and needless to say ,i fell IN LOVE with the game and the story itself! So much that i am hooked and have watched 4 of the movies you have posted so far. Thanks! I enjoy them very much!
This game is necessary, it tells Ezio's final journey.... How can you call it a filler?
In the sense of the main story of AC, the modern day. Obviously it's a fantastic story about Ezio and Altair's later lives, but what I meant was, if you went straight from Brotherhood to AC3, it wouldn't really feel like you missed anything, because for the most part, there isn't really much new information about the overarching story given to the player. The very end scene does contain some information, but it's nothing that isn't recapped in AC3, so like I said, sort of feels like AC3 wasn't quite ready so they threw something together fairly quickly, and didn't really have much in terms of important modern day story to add. Also, without Revelations, Ezio's story still had an ending in Brotherhood, similar to how Altair's story ended before that as well. Just because there was more of his life to tell, it doesn't mean it was necessarily important to see.
It's still a great story and one worth seeing for sure. It's just that in terms of importance to the larger story of AC, it's minimal.
I skipped revelations because I heard it was very short and not worth playing.
Zaxerino while it isn't 100% necessary, and is shorter than the others, it's still a great story, and has some pretty fun gameplay too
I love that Altair said “I wish I could have said I’ve seen enough for one life time” and when presented with the opportunity to learn more from the apple ezio says “I’ve seen enough for one lifetime” exactly what Altair wished he could have done.
I grew up watching my brother play these and I must say Ezio is the best character by far they put in so much time building his character I feel we're still missing so much from him! I know people got pissed that it was all about Ezio but he is a major part of the story and helping Desmond! I think for assassin's creed they need to focus on one character and build up the character to make me feel like i know them 😂😂👌🏼
Yasss I love Ezio 😭
Arthur , Ezra , Charles , William , Edmond Assassin's
😤
I appreciate what you've my friend. This is the ONLY AC game I didn't finish and watching the scenes brings me back on memory lane .
I hope you're alive and well
This freaking guy has so much luck with the lady's. Even in the other games he always get laid
I know this video is 11 years old but thank you for all that you do. This playthrough is so delightful.
Jesus christ what a game. And that end scene when ezio 'meets' altair and talks to Desmond is just perfect. Amazing. Hats off ubisoft.
I just wanted to leave this out here and give you a big thanks for uploading all this. I just watched AC 1 through to this one.
Thanks so much!
Playing Assassin creed 4 now.Game is amazing but Edward fail to be as Epic as Ezio.There is something so special and precious about Ezio
when you compare gameplay the new will always be better, when you compare characters i believe they both have strong pros and cons. Also the guy who writes the story (dont remember name) said that a fight between Ezio and Edward, Edward would win, as their skill is equal but Edward plays dirty.
visa422978 ummm what? no its not. assassin creed 1 was the most famous, which prompted people to get AC2. not only i AC2 not the best selling, its not even second... ezio was barley an assassin really, compared to the others.
***** visa422978 altair is the reason AC is famous. ezio is the reason people get sick of the game.
visa422978 Ezio is epic. Edward was not very interesting and the game (AC4) was too hard to roam around in; his grandson Connor is my other favorite tied with Ezio. So yes, he is epic.
visa422978 I don't think anyone can really live up to the legacy of Ezio in the AC franchise.
This one was probably my favorite so far, 2 old guys kicking ass and The Feels. Loved it, thanks Andy Gilleand
The last good Assassin's creed game made. The series died with Ezio.
Shadow Gamer 1990 I dont think it died,it just went sideways.
Conor was still good.
And honestly I dont know why I am replying to a 4 year old comment
Peace
Marcel Nicoara well at least you realize you are replying to a 4 year old comment lmao
I see ALL comments 😜
Best AC movies both on YT and cinemas are yours! Amazing work!
i call it the BEST ENDING EVER
I absolutely adore how Ezio was introduced in this game, how 16 mentioned that Desmond needs to “finish what he started” & then immediately the game switches to Ezio writing to Claudia & journeying to Masyaf. That made me tear up when I started playing this game a few months ago for the first time because it really felt like we’ve come so far with Ezio but there’s still so much left to do. Amazing.
Altair is my all time favorite :) This guy is my second
I love them all
Thank you Andy for making the movie of revelations. The script for this game is incredible and the soundtrack is so emotional. And your editing just makes it perfect. Also saw the brotherhood movie of yours,just to know the history better. Have not played ezio games except the first one. But damn,revelations got to me.Just wow. Cant get enough of that moment when he finds altair in his library,amazing. Thanks for the hard work man,appreciate it.
Closer for the Ezio Trilogy, oh how we all grew to love Ezio.
The Ezio Trilogy is the best one ever, the best story told from gaming. It even teaches some stuff about life. What a story it was, ay lads.
My 3 fav assassins were
1. Altair
2. Ezio
3. Connor
Dude cmnon...like ok that's ur opinion but still like ezio is the best character of all gaming characters don't tell me altair is better
Altair ezio Arno Edward bayak
@Randy Marsh I agree Altair is my favorite but Ezio is definitely up there as one of the best
As a kid I used to play assassins creed to enjoy climbing on walls, running on rooftop, killing templars and was never focused on the great storyline and on the wisdom in the words spoken by the 2 great characters Altair and Ezio. But now as an adult, having watched ac1, ac2, brotherhood, revelation on youtube, I learned invaluable lessons. The Assassins Brotherhood taught me loyalty and dedication to a cause. Made me realize the importance of having a purpose in life and to stand up and fight for what you believe is right. Rest in peace 2 great fictional characters in gaming history Altair and Ezio.
As kids, it's hard to appreciate a story when you want to have fun. I still remember important bits from the story as a kid, but didn't really understand much. Now being older, the same as you. Understanding and loving it even more then I did when I was young.
the writers of this game is the realest mvp...
This is what i would call a legit gamingsin. During the fight in the beginning, Ezio's left hidden blade broke, but when he retrieved back his gear, the right hidden blade is the broken one. Note that Ezio's main bracer with all the attachments is the left one.
Sometimes I forget I'm watching CGI, the graphics on this one are incredible.
I don't get the hate for this game. I liked it a lot
+IantheGamer A lot of people couldn't relate to much of the story, and it's a short game. Most people love the ending, but felt the game was too short and uninteresting. I kind of agreed with that the first time I played it, but when I replayed it to make the movie, and while editing the movie, I got a better grip on the story and really enjoyed it a lot more. I highly recommend replaying this game if you didn't care much for it the first time.
fuck
+IantheGamer Its was my first and the best assassins creed game i have ever played
+IantheGamer Because it was too short (I beat the main story in *5 hours*). Not only that, but a lot of us bought it because we wanted to know what happened Lucy, and how would Ezio's story end. Instead, Lucy's reason for death and fate was explained in a real cheap way in a DLC you had to purchase, and Ezio's story felt like had no advancement at all (it was just a filler). Gameplay-wise, it felt too easy, and the whole deal about the "new bombs" and "Eagle sense" didn't add nothing new to the series (in fact, they dropped it, because of how useless it was) . Personal reason, because this is when AC franchise died for me.
+lorenzo romano Lucy obviously died if you hadn't seen the strike Desmond gave her...
Lol I've it how in the bazzar etzio listens to the guy talk about the painting, waits three seconds and THEN beats him to the ground XD
No it's heavily edited. It's not a gameplay video, it's a movie. Total gameplay time was about 8 hours.
Wow, this one was great as a movie! Good job Andy! The story was very well structured and really gripping. Gameplay never distracted from it and actually watching the whole tomb raiding scenes was great.
I loved the Turkish setting for this game and I liked the way it tied a lot of stuff up, but the very end felt slightly rushed. Would have liked to have seen the prince once more to give a little insight to the future of Istanbul. Also might have been nice for Etzio to have a 'riding into the sunset' moment. Really enjoyed this one though!
Looking forward to finding out more about who this Bill character is. Desmond's father I'm guessing. Next week I'll watch no. 3.
There have always been two things I don't get about the Hookblade;
1. Why is the Hookblade needed for a hook-and-run? What exactly are you doing with the blade during that move?
2. How the Christ are you meant to stab someone if the Hookblade has a hook instead of a blade tip?
It has a hook AND a blade
A blade, yes; but pause and look at it close up. It doesn't have a blade tip to pierce anything, just the hook.
The game doesn't show both modes properly. It's supposed to switch between a hook and a regular blade.
JohnAtDawn Andy Gilleand Yeah, it's on the cover of the game. :P
So it is. Thank you both for the information.
20:01 best line ever
Rest in pece, bastard
I still can't believe you dedicated the time to making these. I couldn't get into AC Rev for some reason but the ending was great. Thanks. Can't understand the downvotes.
The Ishak Armor was sooooo badass. Also, this game perfected the Brotherhood system, all games before and after have been missing something. In Revelations your recruits actually had individual missions,they use a combination of 3 different weapons which was more useful than everyone using swords and crossbows, and at Assassin Rank they had amazing suits and could only really die to Jannisery's
There's a mission in AC3 fir every recruit where you recruit them as an assassin and then kill the templar leader in that burrow. You coupd also talk to them in a tavern
"Beware the girls of Roma,
lest fire you wish to pee" XD
That was an edit. I edited in those conversations into gameplay because just standing around in animus island wouldn't really work very well for a movie.
When he took Ezio's hood off to put the noose on. I saw Ezio's face and I was like.. ohhhhhh....you done fucked up.
Altair the legendary protector & keeper of secrets,Ezio the leading mentor as messenger & Desmond the future( unfortunately sacrificed his life). This is not just a game,it's a legacy that redefines human life & surroundings.
AC Revelations had a great story, and all the tieing back to AC 1 was done in perfection, the problem I had with Revelations was the tower defense, the poor system in place to get rid of notoriety, and the fact that buying and improving shops to strengthen the economy made you the bad guy to not only Templar's but all city law enforcement. Other than that it was good, it was the first game where I blitzed through the story because I always needed to know what happened next. I had 17 hours in on Revelations, my shortest time through an AC game, but that's also in part to me not liking many gameplay mechanics implemented.
So, I skipped work today to watch AC 1, 2, Brotherhood, and now this one. Thanks Mr. Gilleand.
My favourite AC games:
1.) Ezio-Trilogy (1. AC II, 2. Brotherhood, 3. Revelations, by far the best games. Ezio was a great character with an authentic and exciting story/character development. The cities like Firenze, Venezia, Roma, Istanbul... I loved it strolling around in the streets.) ♥♥♥♥♥
2.) Black Flag (I like Edward, he reminds me more of Ezio than for example Connor did. And I liked it how Edward became an Assassin by accident. Also I enjoyed the world, the story and the gameplay)
3.) AC I (it's really good because of the story and its originality, but the gameplay is quite drab)
4.) Unity (so far. Didn't finish it until now because I don't like it that much, but I like it more than...)
5.) AC III (imho the worst AC so far, didn't like the story [I always had the feeling that there was something missing, in my opinion the story wasn't coherent] and I really despised Connor...).
I didn't play AC Rogue or the Extras like AC Liberation or so.
I'm pretty excited for AC Syndicate. I hope it will be better than Unity. The Victorian London is a location I'm really looking forward to (more than Paris).
Well I could say that so far this one has the best introduction to the entire franchise of this game.
That soundtrack though....best in the series.
SO every few months or so I go back and watch these all over again. They are easily the best out there and much better then watching a 20 hour lets play of it. Really looking forward to seeing Liberation and Freedom Cry (if you do them) and then Rouge after it comes out because I just get the feeling I am not going to like it. Keep up the amazing work on these Andy.
I think Rogue's story looks more interesting than Unity's.
I hate replaying the first four games of the saga, they just make me go mad at Ubisoft for wasting such a great potential with the story.
When Desmond died, i stopped the assassins creed series. Loved the Ezio trilogy and Desmond Miles.
I agree. After black flag it went on a downwards spiral. The series was about Desmond. You should see the video where Nolan North (Desmond's voice actor) explained the original ending to the series. That's what should've happened.
This is my favourite assassins creed
agreed. its my favorite aswell
SERIOUSLY??!!?!!?
Austin Iverson its mine as well.
i love the atmosphere, the OST, the story. the gameplay is pretty much the same from AC Brotherhood, but i like it.
Mine too
Austin Iverson i am more like a pirate
Dude, thanks for uploading all AC game movies
I'm just the most interesting man you've ever met.
That was so smooth :D.
Syce
Ha, presuntuoso.
Stay thirsty my friends!
You got to love that 'Q' from Star Trek voices William Miles:
Desmond: "Dad?"
Bill: "The assassins have taken me back!
I'm immortal again!
Omnipotent again!"
Desmond: "Swell..."
I've always wanted to but have never had the chance to play the video game... However, I have been watching the main series in quick succession... AC: Revelations has the best writing, acting, cinematography and musical compositions, in my opinion... The story was very well integrated and more grounded in characterization than the previous 3... Either way I can honestly say that the Assassin's Creed series is the best video game i've never played!!
i love all ac games. so many years i ignore the series, but after playing i was kept in a dream in one sec. a wonderful journey.
1:19:20 look at his sword...nice job ubisoft...nice job 👌👌👍(it goes right thru the bench xD)
i played through the game so quick that i never fully understood the story. Thank you for all these!
To be honest, ACR is better than any other AC game. Epspicially Black Flag. 1) ACR 2) Black Flag 3)...
I've played every Assassin's Creed game so far and have never even touched the multiplayer. This series is a lot better off without it.
I can't lie, you may be right. But it may turn me off Assassin's Creed, but then again i've never been a fan of online multiplayer in any game. The only thing that bothers me is by adding multiplayer i felt that the single player experience could have been even better than it is now (and it's already damn good) because they're using some of that time to work on multiplayer.
Thanks, i'll check em out aha! Glad I just picked up both of them during Steam's holiday sale! I'm just surprised that the story is still pretty damn long and in depth for including a multiplayer.
I miss that "reqiescat in pace" at finishing of the enemy
Or at least something like it. Altair and Ezio both respected the people they killed. They honored the dead. The other characters have all been angry or sarcastic at their kills, and while often justified, I personally feel like this goes against the spirit of the creed.
I find ACR a little better in Narrative and combat fluidity than ACB's.
I got chills when Ezio called Altair "the great" 😂
assasin creed games are all this good,arent they? only bad thing i find is that the enemies you are not directly fighting ARE JUST STANDING IN THERE STARING AT YOU....too easy like that,compared to what would normally be.. :(
i still cant find anyone who has that impressive voice like ezios, this game is the golden ribbon for an excellent franchise
This game is genius. For so long I wanted to have it, but it is enough to see the movie and I feel like I live a legend. I don't know how to explain such thing, but I feel something very, very deep.
Thank you so much for uploading the assassins creed movie series i have black flag and unity which means i never knew about Ezio or anything now thanks to you I am in the know!
IMO this game had the best story in the AC franchise.
I would say 2 had the best
This ones story ws still very good
its pretty awesome seeing the assassin brotherhood is large and wide. love this series
One thing I don't get is at 57:40 Duccio still looks the same from AC 2 when it's been about 40 years since him and Ezio last met.
They have actually met in brotherhood so it was 5 years since they met
andrew mazloumi When did they meet in brotherhood? Did I miss a side mission or something?
Ah right, I never brought that.
Andrew, they met in AC 2 when Claudia was crying because of the rumors she heard about Duccio with other girls. It was one of the main missions, but I don't know if it even affected the whole story. See the movie for AC 2 and you'll see. They then met in Brotherhood fighting. Then, of course, in Revelations, Duccio ran away. Finally, Duccio dies by being dragged away by a wolf or something.
I've been to Istanbul, including Topkapi Palace, The Hagia Sophia, and The Yerebatan cistern. It's an amazing feeling to see those locations created so carefully in a video game.
2:13:55 Niiiice kill streak. I'd be proud of that one!
+The Mudpit NO ONE TOUCHES SOFIA!!
All of these are great! Keep up the great work
One thing I don't understand. So memories are passed down through dna right? Meaning the child can only have memories of the father up to the point when he/she is conceived and any experiences after that aren't passed down, at least until the parent has another child. So there should be no way they can see the memory of Ezio in the library at the end or any other memories of him after his youngest child was born since those are never passed down
His child was born after the events of this game.
Or if you're talking about Altair, that's actually Ezio seeing those memories which were recorded on those First Civilization artifacts, not from the Animus.
General Steelflex no I'm talking about Ezio. He died in the library and so had no way of passing on the memories of him seeing Altair's body and talking to Desmond, so how can Desmond see those?
Idk it's just a plot hole I realized while revising it
He didn't die in the library. Watch the Assassin's Creed: Embers short film. He dies several years later on a bench in Florence.
Subject 16 was lost forever when he sacrificed himself in ACR. One could argue Desmond could be saved the way 16 was before ACR, but the devs seem to have said that's not going to happen.
Did the first memory of Altaïr (1189, age 24)occur before the events of Assassin's Creed 1?
Yes
+Andy Gilleand you got a sub and a like :)
Exactly. When Da Vinci says that "It's been modified" he doesn't mean HE modified it. It was modified years earlier.
You should put on subtitles in the next AC4
I'm not a gamer, but I really like the intricacies of the Assassin story line. I'd love to have these in a book series and even broken into movies! Thank you for putting these together. I appreciate that you take more of the "gaming' out and leave it more like a movie!! Also appreciate that they are cleaner movies. I have watched them all and am looking forward to the new one coming out, although I must admit I'm not sure I'm going to like it, but hey I could be surprised! Thanks again, from a non-gamer!
+shoachiwarrior There is a book series about the games and there's an upcoming film about Assassin's creed with X-men First Class' Magneto playing the main character.
I think ACB is the best
I decided not to keep playing the game about the time the first tower defense mission happened. thank you for putting this together, now i know what happened to Etzio and Desmond. time for III
+ianj1828 that "first" tower defense level is actually the only required tower defense level in the story. I don't think you'd see another unless going for 100%, and even then I'm not sure.
+Andy Gilleand I got the mission done in one try, and had made a playthrough of it without Selling the game.
