I love how they made the assasins in the older trailers terrifying and mysterious by the fact that you couldnt see their eyes and the kills were brutal as hell.
That was the point of the assassins creeds back in the day... even the first one had this tone. Assassin's creed unity n origins was the last one to keep that tone.
@@matthewsdrumjazz it means computer-generated imagery, which actually means that this trailer isn't in-game footage but a rendered video with high quality effects. It's like a short movie in the end.
One of the things I’ll always remember so well about this trailer was that in one fight scene, you’ve learned that the personality of Ezio is going to be completely different from Altair. Just from his nonchalance as he fights to the little cheeky head tilt when he sees a defenseless guard and decides not to kill him. I just love it so much!
A good detail is that Ezio kills only ones that tried to attack/kill him, it's a defense to say it straight. That's why he isn't killing the one laying defenseless.
@@northwestclasspnw7974 Yah, Altair was indoctrinated/inducted from childhood to becoming a loyal footsoldier of the Order whereas Ezio was on the cusp of becoming a man and was violently and cruelly yanked into the life and secret war going on behind the scenes around him.
This was the MOST Important moment for me that this game created bond with me and it never let Go. Because I have brother and the Music is masterpiece and Beautiful human renaissance ! Of course only with true Ezio assassins games.
I find it so cool how everything done in this cinematic trailer is stuff you do in the actual game. Bribing people to distract other NPCs while you assassinate your target, hiding in crowds, using the combat system to attack, evad, parry, and disarm enemies, park-ouring your way through city roof tops, using ranged weapons, etc. Such a solid trailer!
@@folo7595 All in all Brotherhood I guess. Despite the Altaïr story Revelations feels a bit short. I like Connor, but the side quests are a boring in 3. And Liberation is a spin off to begin with. However, the gameplay has always been pretty good, and it's nice that they keep on adding mechanics from game to game. The backstory with ancient artifacts and "Gods" ties the overarching story together, and I'm looking forward to finding their secrets in Black Flag. Oh, and despite tons of bugs the King Washington DLC was awesome. Forgot: My favourite assassin is Connor because of his looks, good heart and playstyle, haha.
@@jayg.2066 its called THE Raenasince and it is the historical time period that came after the middle ages. Meaning either after the fall of Constantinople/Instabul (call the city what you will) or after Colombus first set foot in the americas.
@@thanos_karagiannhs5320 The Renaissance was a time period in the 15th - 16th centuries. The impact of the Black Death (a disease that killed 1/3 of the European population, which happened in the 14th century) had a profound impact on European society, one of these changes was an increased skepticism for the church and thus a renewed interest in solving problems using scientific reasoning. At the time, they looked towards the Classical Era, mainly philosophers and thinkers from Ancient Greece. This caused people to consider adopting Classical values such as liberalism, for one, and also led to a renewed interest for the arts, too. It was considered a "rebirth," which is what the word renaissance means. I may have gotten a few things wrong, I kinda did write this just from what I remember.
The first acs the story was good but you didnt feel anything like a assasin, you had a silly outfit literally screaming SEE ME, and throwing knifes that was it, people are just so nostalgic
also it let go even the slightest "inspired by hystorical realities", those vikings are just the worst portrait, and that "templar"... he wore helmet from ancient rome period and a fricking sword from future (viking era did not had two handed swords)

I remember being so disappointed in this character, why they had to make him a brat so to appeal to today's youth maybe? So strange to say that this character became my all time favourite and i look up to him now
Certainly true fwg1994, at the time though, i compared Ezio in the game to this Ezio in the trailer, the latter one was simply far more badass at the time :')

+Nora2003 A AC3 was my first ac game then i played brotherhood, 2, 1 revelations, 4, skip unity, skip rogue i want to play syndicate since it has many good reviews
I remember starting this game on day 1. Truely a masterpiece. Aiming everyday towards that 100% completion! One game I wish I could start again without any knowledge of it and be blown away again.
This game changed my life back in 2009, by far the best game in history, way advanced for his era, a masterpiece combining artwork, soundtrack, great gameplay, amazing story and characters. Its 2020 and I stay play this on my xbox one. The best game ever.
Guns were invented even way back. 1364 was it? So they pretty much existed for....122 years.... I mean its Italy not many used guns.... I guess..? And Swords, Spears and Bows were like cheaper and popular to use.
Fun fact: you can do the Superhero landing in Black Flag, AC3 and Rogue by holding the right trigger when falling from a certain distance, and you can hold that pose indefinitely lol
Behavior Well, God of War 2018 is good the others are awful, I wouldn’t wipe my ass with any Uncharted title, Assassin’s Creed is a better franchise than Far Cry, Mario is great for gameplay but lacks story and innovation, Smash is multiplayer, COD is shit, Battlefield is shit, GTA is the only true competition for Assassin’s Creed, Pokémon isn’t my thing and neither is DOTA, and finally Resident Evil 4 and and Resident Evil 2 Remake are amazing but Assassin’s Creed 2 and Brotherhood got them beat. So the only franchise that is better than Assassin’s Creed is GTA. But this is my belief.
One of the things that enrages me is how much the new AC players are missing out. They will hold to their heart that Black Flag is the best, but only if they experienced this amazing gem...I can't say in words how much I fucking love this game.
im planning to buy this, its one if the only ac games that not under developed and spamed. ubisoft realesing every year is starting to get like the cod bullshit since 2006. its a good thing ubisoft stoped this year and fix their mistakes
Over the course of the months, I played all the gen7 Assassin's Creed games in succession. Although Rogue is my personal favorite, the Ezio trilogy is by far one of the best triumphs in video game history.
Does Adewale even count? I wouldn't call him a protagonist, but he's involved enough that I would consider him on similar ground with Haytham. Is HAYTHAM a protagonist? Oh boy, idk.
Assassins Creed fans that have been here since Day 01: AC2 is the best AC game! New Assassins Creed fans: AC 4 Black Flag is the best AC game! Glad to have been here since the beginning
2:11 to 2:16 My favorite part of the trailer. I just love how he is so skillful that he could just keep going without stopping. He jumped from a boat to small poles, and jumped high enough to grab onto a ledge and then climb up. The agility, strength, balance, and speed he has to do all of this without stopping and quite quickly to, without showing signs of getting tired. Really creates this feeling for me that these Assassins are these almost mysterious unstoppable people. Super cool.
Hartley Davidson duuude like who the fuck actually thought that using ANYTHING BUT ezios family for an AC trailer was even acceptable. And if it wasnt in the trailer it really should be somewhere in the movie, like the opening credits
***** I have had an XBOX 360 and a PC. That 360 is dusting right now of course. But the only difference between PC and XBOX 360 while I was still using the XBOX 360 was that the XBOX 360 had lower resolution and FPS. I'm not sure where is the difference beyond performance?
***** That's why there is no difference. Except for me, because I prefer 1080p and 60 fps which the new consoles probably will have with the remastered. But I suck at patience so I got it at the desired video output earlier. :D
@@benjad92 Black Flag started out as a pirate game yes, but Edward's character development from complete dick to gentleman was sick. Yes it didn't feel like an assassin's creed but was still a good game
@SoapNBanana ac was realsitch back when stopping 2012. The writer just killed desmond of for no logic. Also remember what juno said if desmond would activate the shield minerva have his way by controlloing the earth. The assains would have let the world to end in that regard they never would have let minerva controll but the writer thought lets make desmond dumb m
This game was a masterpiece, which excelled in every department, soundtrack, plot, historical setting, and definitely the most charismatic and iconic protagonist ever, despite every game improving and introducing innovations, the magic of AC2 has never been recreated again. I grew up and lived in Italy, 30 minutes away from San Gimignano ( the assassin base in the game ) and an hour from Firenze, memories and nostalgia take hold of me every time i see this game, you can imagine how awkward it must have been to play this game back then when i was 17 and just look out of your window and see the exact same cities. I sure hope one day the feelings this game evoked will be recreated in other assassins creed games.
What a great comment. I agree and that would have been lovely to see the cities of the game just outside your window in real life. Hopefully it created more immersion for you!
Nothing beats the quality of AC2 in terms of trailers, gameplay and design. This is what happens when you have a passionate team, money and and no deadlines. They really put their hearts into the game and you can see it on every occasion.
3:00 took me ages to know why ezio shoot him instead of hidden blade.. I now understand that antagonist will only bark or tell their plans if he/she thinks they won or got the advantages. XD
I was 14 when I first played this in 2009. Now, 15 years later, I just turned 29 two months ago and something told me to come back an experience this masterpiece again. And here I am
Milarecs lol, the London one story was shit, ir has no story but the combate and framerate are nice. Then ac origins is boring as hell , and odyssey tho. I want something like Unity but with syndicates playability
I rember the first time I ever played this, the magic I felt, the music, the story, it was everything for 10 year old me. And at 16 when It was relased on PS4 I replayed it again and it was just as magical. Now at 21 I am gonna replay it again, on PC. AC2 was one of the best games on the ps3 for me.
Watching this on 12 year anniversary of game release. One of the best games ever made! I would give fortunes to go back to 2009 and expirience this masterpiece once again for the first time...
When this trailer came out I fucking watched it a billion times. The hype for this game was unreal. In fact I took it to the extreme, I was so hyped for this I would show my family it and then in my head imagine I was Ezio (bear in mind I was 12/13 at the time, which I still have trouble believing as I can remember it like it was yesterday). I can't believe I still have the same habits...going on RUclips...looking at gaming content...playing games...off piste a bit sorry, but yeah; I await for something like this again. With this potential. The time period was perfect and Ezio's character is flawless. Sadly, it is unlikely we will ever see an assassins creed game like this again.
+Walter “Heisenberg” White Hopefully, with ubisoft taking time off, they can bring us something as good as this for 2017, for the 10th anniversary of ac.
Art direction was really good back then, I bet these models don't even compare with modern ones used in the trailers, but everything in that trailer looks more alive and interesting than anything I saw past 2017
I miss this. The new games don't have the magic that the old ones do, it's as if the new ones have gotten lazy. For example, in Unity most (if not all) of the French characters have either British or mildly American accents. In ACII, they were ALL Italian. Little details like that made the old games so special.
I have watched this too many times but that free run sequence at 2:11 is just beyond amazing to watch and realize "that's how the NPCs in game view Ezio doing that" and all those NPC dialgoues make sense about how they praise Ezio's dexterity and free-run skills.
We are getting old guys, a 14 year old kid back then patiently waiting for the game to release and even skipping Friday school when it dropped to play it and now I am a 30 year old man, simpler times
I just started playing this game (2019) on the PS4 and it’s truly an amazing experience. Ezio is such an amazing character! Can’t wait to finish brotherhood and revelations after I finish this one! 👍🏼
I miss the days when Assassins Creed was still fairly new and exciting. When it was somewhat normal and didn't have stupid abilities. How far it has fallen these days. AC2 is still my all-time favourite of the series.

Don’t forget the Plague Doctor has your back if you get wounded (the plague doctor and the brutes stood behind Ezio after he kills the first dude)
You can actually use those combat skills and how to disarm methods with the extra training from montage villa from his uncle

STRQROW Do you think it's worth getting in 2016 if you've already played Brotherhood and Revelations?
STRQROW im getting the game for the first time can't wait
Definitely worth it. I just replayed it, rushed trough the whole thing in 3 days. Still holds up as IMO the best in the series.
2018 now I just watch the AC2 trailer and WOW. That's the only AC that I didn't play.
@@moisesmillette2586 that sucks because most people that play assassin's Creed have 2 as their favorite
It’s been 12 years and no AC game can catch up with this story,this song and these themes.Damn.. What a masterpiece!!!
It's extra sad that they recycled the OG Soundtrack for Assassins Creed Odissey
This game changed my life back in 2009, by far the best game in history, way advanced for his era, a masterpiece combining artwork, soundtrack, great gameplay, amazing story and characters. Its 2020 and I stay play this on my xbox one. The best game ever.
Me too
The soundtrack *chefs kiss*
3:22 His face be like: "A gun in 1486? But that's cheating !"
no they have guns in 1486 and he like a pirate gun he launch buletts he like a ball
@@llkujgyu7247 it was a joke
@@Vioioioio nah he didn't know
loool
Guns were invented even way back. 1364 was it? So they pretty much existed for....122 years.... I mean its Italy not many used guns.... I guess..? And Swords, Spears and Bows were like cheaper and popular to use.
2:55 HE DID THE SUPERHERO LANDING
I get superhero landing from deadpool
+GAMER GEEK 2690 no shit Sherlock!
kkkkk
Fun fact: you can do the Superhero landing in Black Flag, AC3 and Rogue by holding the right trigger when falling from a certain distance, and you can hold that pose indefinitely lol
ezio IS a lokey superhero
15 years ago, still better than all new AC games...
I got straight A's in history class after playing this epic game.
10/10 would learn Italian again.
Velcon all I learned was cazzo which is fuck
Professor Chaos damn,well atleast you had a better Italian word than me
Fottiti
@@toast8851 cazzo is not fuck...cazzo means dick...but here in italia we use cazzo as esclamation...
@@toast8851 Then you learned nothing
Almost 8 years later and still the best game i ever played.
I still play this game
Great game, parkour is a little crappy though
baden closson Still better than any other franchise.
@@Tresicre_T So you think AC is better than: God of war, Uncharted, Far cry, Mario, Smash, COD, Battlefield, GTA, Pokemon, DOTA, and Resident Evil?
Behavior Well, God of War 2018 is good the others are awful, I wouldn’t wipe my ass with any Uncharted title, Assassin’s Creed is a better franchise than Far Cry, Mario is great for gameplay but lacks story and innovation, Smash is multiplayer, COD is shit, Battlefield is shit, GTA is the only true competition for Assassin’s Creed, Pokémon isn’t my thing and neither is DOTA, and finally Resident Evil 4 and and Resident Evil 2 Remake are amazing but Assassin’s Creed 2 and Brotherhood got them beat.
So the only franchise that is better than Assassin’s Creed is GTA. But this is my belief.
One of the things that enrages me is how much the new AC players are missing out. They will hold to their heart that Black Flag is the best, but only if they experienced this amazing gem...I can't say in words how much I fucking love this game.
Black Flag has been the only good new Assassins Creed.
im planning to buy this, its one if the only ac games that not under developed and spamed. ubisoft realesing every year is starting to get like the cod bullshit since 2006. its a good thing ubisoft stoped this year and fix their mistakes
+Adolf Hitler Yeah.. black flag is the best new ac, i'll give em that, but the ezio trilogy was the BEST imo.
Over the course of the months, I played all the gen7 Assassin's Creed games in succession. Although Rogue is my personal favorite, the Ezio trilogy is by far one of the best triumphs in video game history.
ShaDHP23 Agreed, ezio games are some of my favorite games of all time. They did it so well!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how god like these old late 2000s to 2010s cinematic were for video games?
What an era
Epic comment, so epic.. Agreed. Hope ur doing good.
Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward & Arno.. i miss y'all..
What about the Fry twins?
Or shay?
Or adewale
Does Adewale even count? I wouldn't call him a protagonist, but he's involved enough that I would consider him on similar ground with Haytham.
Is HAYTHAM a protagonist?
Oh boy, idk.
@@lifeisgood5619 ike
Assassins Creed fans that have been here since Day 01: AC2 is the best AC game!
New Assassins Creed fans: AC 4 Black Flag is the best AC game!
Glad to have been here since the beginning
jay Me too man...me too
jay i started out with ac 4 then i went to the first then 2, brotherhood,3, revelation then rogue
jay i have been here sonce day 1
Agreed, AC2 is a masterpiece. Black Flag is great but it wouldn't be without AC2
Black Flag is still a damn great game though
This game has the best soundtrack I've ever heard. True masterpiece.
2:11 to 2:16 My favorite part of the trailer. I just love how he is so skillful that he could just keep going without stopping. He jumped from a boat to small poles, and jumped high enough to grab onto a ledge and then climb up. The agility, strength, balance, and speed he has to do all of this without stopping and quite quickly to, without showing signs of getting tired.
Really creates this feeling for me that these Assassins are these almost mysterious unstoppable people. Super cool.
2:18 *DESYNCHRONIZED:* Target Lost
That moment of pain and frustration...
😂😂
İ hate it when that happens...
@@browsedude l agree
🤨 dang it ! Not again ☹️ !
The birth of one of the best video game characters EVERRR
Ahhh, the good ol' days.... When Ubisoft didn't use Kanye in their trailers.
Hartley Davidson duuude like who the fuck actually thought that using ANYTHING BUT ezios family for an AC trailer was even acceptable. And if it wasnt in the trailer it really should be somewhere in the movie, like the opening credits
@@ZiroWatt put ezios family in the ac movie trailer and see how shit it is
the movie has no atmosphere lol sadly even that legendary song could not make that movie good
Huh?
When exactly did they use Kanye in any of their trailers?
Where the fuck did they
Guards: Waiting for Ezio to get close
Ezio: haha hidden gun go brrrr
1:33 why is nobody talking about the beautiful background music it fits so well in that scene and reminds me of the beauty of the ezio trilogy
Trying to find the name of that music now lol
This trailer still holds up :')
I already had them on PC.
*****
It's the same game, what's different about it besides the graphics? :D
*****
I have had an XBOX 360 and a PC. That 360 is dusting right now of course. But the only difference between PC and XBOX 360 while I was still using the XBOX 360 was that the XBOX 360 had lower resolution and FPS. I'm not sure where is the difference beyond performance?
*****
That's why there is no difference. Except for me, because I prefer 1080p and 60 fps which the new consoles probably will have with the remastered. But I suck at patience so I got it at the desired video output earlier. :D
because its pre-rendered CGI video and not actual gameplay footage
2019 and Assassin's Creed still can't make magic like this
@Alex The Awsome black flag wasn't even an assassin's creed game lol
@@benjad92 wth
@@benjad92 fucking SPED
@@masqueilluminati4038 stop hating kids who began assassin's creed with BF and think it's an assassin creed game
@@benjad92 Black Flag started out as a pirate game yes, but Edward's character development from complete dick to gentleman was sick. Yes it didn't feel like an assassin's creed but was still a good game
I still come back from time to time to watch this masterpiece. It reminds me of my childhood and how happy i used to be playing video games…
Who thinks this is the best Assassin's Creed?
...It's a universally accepted opinion that ACII is the best AC game, period. Like, it's not even debated at this point, and never would be.
me
I find origins the best one 😂😍
@@albertvonmollendorf5621 Wait ... That's illegal !!!
Nah AC3 And origins and Odyssey is better
Ubisoft needs to rewatch this trailer to remember what assassin's creed was truly about...not some ancient monster hunter 😒
TRISTAN KAHL basically, yes
@TRISTAN KAHL YES save 2012
But the fans didnt wanted this
TRISTAN KAHL Um... YES! 2, Brotherhood, & Revelations were the peak of the entire AC franchise!
@SoapNBanana ac was realsitch back when stopping 2012. The writer just killed desmond of for no logic. Also remember what juno said if desmond would activate the shield minerva have his way by controlloing the earth. The assains would have let the world to end in that regard they never would have let minerva controll but the writer thought lets make desmond dumb m
This game was a masterpiece, which excelled in every department, soundtrack, plot, historical setting, and definitely the most charismatic and iconic protagonist ever, despite every game improving and introducing innovations, the magic of AC2 has never been recreated again. I grew up and lived in Italy, 30 minutes away from San Gimignano ( the assassin base in the game ) and an hour from Firenze, memories and nostalgia take hold of me every time i see this game, you can imagine how awkward it must have been to play this game back then when i was 17 and just look out of your window and see the exact same cities. I sure hope one day the feelings this game evoked will be recreated in other assassins creed games.
What a great comment. I agree and that would have been lovely to see the cities of the game just outside your window in real life. Hopefully it created more immersion for you!
Came back to this because I just watched the AC Shadows trailer. Fricking night and day. This is 100 times better than the AC Shadows trailer.
Still one of the best trailers I have ever seen.
+Joshua Mouncer so true
Revelations trailer is even cooler
Joshua Mouncer so true
How is it coming up on a decade ago 😂
Joshua Mouncer Not "ONE OF THE" It's the BEST
This needs to get remastered!
yeah
+Nick Ivic shit yeah!!!!!!
+Random Guy why remake one of the greatest games of all time?
Curse
+Nick Ivic hey,that is very good idea
When a trailer of 2009 is way better than the movie with budget.
Thanks Hollywood...
Yesterday I bought the Ezio collection just to play and enjoy this masterpiece again, one of the best games ever
Nothing beats the quality of AC2 in terms of trailers, gameplay and design. This is what happens when you have a passionate team, money and and no deadlines. They really put their hearts into the game and you can see it on every occasion.
gameplay? are you serious? stealth for casuals and shitty combat? dude, I like the game, but come on.
Nah fam, the story is great but the AC franchise has a whole lot more games with better gameplay.
The trailer was done by DIGIC Pictures btw
Back when Assassin's Creed was amazing with its storyline.
I come back every time a new assassins creed comes out so I can remember this series was once good
I want the old controls back
@@Uaveatz2 wdym, old controls sucked
@Gym Man the counter timing on the hidden blade was meant to be tight, it was a one-hit kill if you countered with it after all.
@MicroMan I nail those like 75% of the time, but I fail with every other weapon
True!
Glad I'm not the only one checkin this out after seeing the Shadows Trailer
😂😂❤
"Catch him, and give him a pie!!" 1:50
+AsianGuy77 actually he said rip him apart
+Debra Dishaw i know lol the misheard words is funny !!
The name is Andrew Gemmill by the way
and I'm an Assassin's Creed fan I also like Ezio Auditore da Firenze he's my favorite assassin
+AsianGuy77 "Catch him, rip him a pie"
Darth Segeus "catch him and rip him a part"
Still remember the day I got it, feels like yesterday , this trailer...... Brought me to tears with nostalgia 😭😭
Talion Wraith up
Y’all in the comments will suck ezios dick
Still the best Assassins Creed trailer and in my opinion still best AC game
AC1 and AC2 are the best )
Michelangelo00001 wtf are you talking about ac 1 wasn't even that great
Kian Cassem PRAISE BE SALADIN! PRAISE BE, BITCH!
Mastakilla91 have u played therest of the series???play this,i assure you its the best of them all..even ac1,which was too repetitive!
Best game yeah but revelation's was way better
Damn it man, we had it all didn’t we.
Thumbs up if AC2 was your favorite of the series.
Yahiko SH i like all of them
A comment instead
One of the best trailers and games of its time. I miss the old Assassin’s creed games
3:00 took me ages to know why ezio shoot him instead of hidden blade.. I now understand that antagonist will only bark or tell their plans if he/she thinks they won or got the advantages. XD
He didn't say anything about his plans. Just that he'll "give ezio's mother his full attention."
@@lifeisgood5619 I said bark or tell their plan...
He actually realizes hes trying to bait him into a trap so he just shoots him
@@wmascolin yep
He Just used an eagle vision xd
I was 14 when I first played this in 2009. Now, 15 years later, I just turned 29 two months ago and something told me to come back an experience this masterpiece again. And here I am
I came here after watching AC: Valhalla trailer to see, how real Assassin´S Creed looks like. ♥
Samee dude!
Valhalla look trash
I see a man of culture
Same. I just watched the trailer to the first game. Iconic.
I hate RPG. Because It's "ASSASSIN'S" Creed. Where is the old ones ahhhhhhhhhh
Good old times where AC story wasn´t crap
i have high hopes for Unity since it's back in europe... ac3/ac4 story lines were boring as hell
Symnage Sorry you were disappointed. AC unity is a failure too. I'm afraid to see the next ac.
Well next one plays in London... we'll see...
Symnage LoL, i guess your hopes were destroyed
Milarecs lol, the London one story was shit, ir has no story but the combate and framerate are nice. Then ac origins is boring as hell , and odyssey tho. I want something like Unity but with syndicates playability
No trailer as been as epic as AC2 and Revelations, Ezio will always be the heart of this franchise
Revelations trailer is ice cold awesome
@sawmillmattocks The trilogy has the best cinematic trailer
I rember the first time I ever played this, the magic I felt, the music, the story, it was everything for 10 year old me. And at 16 when It was relased on PS4 I replayed it again and it was just as magical. Now at 21 I am gonna replay it again, on PC. AC2 was one of the best games on the ps3 for me.
Great game, great music, great trailer
This trailer is officially 11 years old as of today June 2 2020......
and it looks better than ever
Here's to 2019. 10 years after the game's release. Happy anniversary Ezio.
Watching this on 12 year anniversary of game release. One of the best games ever made! I would give fortunes to go back to 2009 and expirience this masterpiece once again for the first time...
Watching it 14 years after release too reminiscing about midnight release...
Who’s still here in October of 2024 at 4AM wishing Ubisoft was great again?
13 years later still best AC game
based eric cartman
that one pirate game was pretty fun too
@@julz6077 that's ac4 black flag and yes it's widely regarded as one of the best games in franchise
No its not. Game has aged
When this trailer came out I fucking watched it a billion times. The hype for this game was unreal. In fact I took it to the extreme, I was so hyped for this I would show my family it and then in my head imagine I was Ezio (bear in mind I was 12/13 at the time, which I still have trouble believing as I can remember it like it was yesterday). I can't believe I still have the same habits...going on RUclips...looking at gaming content...playing games...off piste a bit sorry, but yeah; I await for something like this again. With this potential. The time period was perfect and Ezio's character is flawless. Sadly, it is unlikely we will ever see an assassins creed game like this again.
+Walter “Heisenberg” White Hopefully, with ubisoft taking time off, they can bring us something as good as this for 2017, for the 10th anniversary of ac.
Art direction was really good back then, I bet these models don't even compare with modern ones used in the trailers, but everything in that trailer looks more alive and interesting than anything I saw past 2017
Tech gets cheaper and art is ignored
Currently in Venice, came here because i’ve had an obsession with Italy ever since this game came out and i played it
I miss this. The new games don't have the magic that the old ones do, it's as if the new ones have gotten lazy. For example, in Unity most (if not all) of the French characters have either British or mildly American accents. In ACII, they were ALL Italian. Little details like that made the old games so special.
Tuelis97 AMEN TO THAT!!!
Tuelis97 The Npcs have French accents just not the main character, and u can play the game in French if u want
Could you imagine a remake of the game that actually looked like this? It would be incredible
I have watched this too many times but that free run sequence at 2:11 is just beyond amazing to watch and realize "that's how the NPCs in game view Ezio doing that" and all those NPC dialgoues make sense about how they praise Ezio's dexterity and free-run skills.
We are getting old guys, a 14 year old kid back then patiently waiting for the game to release and even skipping Friday school when it dropped to play it and now I am a 30 year old man, simpler times
Just realized how it instantly goes to morning after the fight.
This still keeps up holding. Looks like a trailer made months ago.
It's because it's cgi dude
@@sauldownbadman876 you do realize that 2009 cgi isn't like 2020 cgi ?????

I think this is the best AC game so far.

So true
why the fuck do you people think that shit
learn more about UBI's policy, Uplay-moron
Not a fan of that so fuck you
Imagine abandoning this kind of utter peak.
Fr bro. All the vibes in their games are off now. They shoulda stuck with the time period, the grunge, the vibes were just SO good
I just started playing this game (2019) on the PS4 and it’s truly an amazing experience. Ezio is such an amazing character! Can’t wait to finish brotherhood and revelations after I finish this one! 👍🏼
@Purple Guy said no one ever
You got a long way ahead fratello
Leon Kennedy just take care of Clair for me ok?👌🏽
Over 10 years later and is still the greatest AC game in the entire series.
just had to come back and rewatch after watching the ac shadows trailer..Its so good
I miss the days when Assassins Creed was still fairly new and exciting. When it was somewhat normal and didn't have stupid abilities. How far it has fallen these days. AC2 is still my all-time favourite of the series.
