  • One huge question... The disks that Ezio gets in ACR let him view Altair's memories... how does this happen if they are not related

  • @BlackBlade58206 Well those artifacts operate on a different mechanism than the animus, in that you don't need to be related to relive memories. The problem with this mechanism is that you can only relive the memories on the artifact itself: no randomly exploring Altair's memories. Think of them as ancient DVDs or something.

  • What I wonder is how all three- Altair, Ezio, and Desmond- get that same scar on their lip if Ezio got it from Vieri throwing a rock at him...

  • 0:09 This building is haunted..

  • Can someone just make a damn family tree already?

  • @kadeb you are right!!

  • dis kinda clears things up cause it shows why desmond is so special and how he has the memorys of 2 great assassins, otherwise if ezio and altair wer related it would mean his dad would have the same memorys, his grandad would and so on, so basicly if dey wer related he wudnt be so special and btw this dude it this guy is da LEADWRITER meaning he comes up with most of the story! da only confuzing part is why does ezio and altair have the same face and scar?

  • Hmm so Altaïr is like Ezio's sugar uncle? xD

  • I seriously think that Ubisoft originally wanted Altair to be Ezio's ancestor but this guy came and changed it all.... and in the back of the Revelations case Ezio mentions Altair as his ancestor (come on everybody uses this word to refer to a grand-grand-grandfather or something (A RELATIVE)). Someone in Ubisoft disagrees with this guy and so do I, I don't give a fuck about what this guy is saying, I'm gonna trust what Ezio says in the back of the game BECAUSE FUCK YOU!

  • @liesder no the box art was a screw up on the part of the people who packaged the game.

  • Go far enough back and everyone's everyone's cousin. I can see why Ubisoft went with this explanation: it allows them to use the Desmond/Animus combo as a framing device if they want to explore concurrent characters.

  • the fact remains that the guy in the video does not know what he is talking about. Ezio and Altaïr are related, as stated by Lucy, Shaun, and Desmond himself. Also if you READ THE BACK OF THE REVELATIONS CASE, Ezio talks about Altaïr being his ancestor.

  • @Eamonio look idiot. The guy is the LEAD SCRIPTWRITER he knows what he is talking about. I read the back of the case also and it does say his ancestor........ but if you go read a dictionary one definition for ancestor is "a forerunner or predecessor"

  • @Eamonio Nope. Play revelations, there you can pretty good see how Altair and Ezio are related. Altair was a mentor for the Polo Brothers. Marco Polo was born. marco became the patron of an pre-Auditore. That pre-Auditore had a Son. This son wrote the script in the Auditore crypt in the Villa in AC2, how he became the first Auditore (with his dad). I replayed the games recently...at no point someone says Altair is related to Ezio by blood. But Desmond with both. Deal with it. ^^

  • Well, that explains why the games never mention Altair's family going to Italy and establishing the Auditore line.

  • Odd they have chosen to make the appearances of Altair and Ezio so much alike, then?

  • @Snyltetast that's just what the animus does. if you look for the altair gameplay of revelations you altair has a different face.

  • @Snyltetast I heard somewhere that Animus projects the face of the ancestor //same// as the face of the //user// [in this case Desmond] for easier synchronazation.

  • @MrCringedragon there's one problem with what you're saying, ezio can see altaïr before he even touched the keys, so why can he see altaïr, when they aren't related?

  • @H4WKB13 this is the animus

  • @H4WKB13

    eagle vision..  ezio's gift is enhanced by this stage.

  • He looks alot like Subject 16?..but without the glasses

  • then youre saying Ezio and Altaïr are related. okay.....

  • 0:40 no problem

  • OMFG!!!!!!!! My roommate just pointed out to me that on the back of the case for Revelations Ezio calls Altaïr his ancestor. Get your shit straight!!!!!!

  • okay so we're supposed to believe Desmond is directly related to 2 master assassins that both looked identical, had eagle vision, knew the Polo family, but AREN'T related. Hmm. Good luck explaining that one Darby Whatsyourface. You just ruined your legacy franchise

  • @Eamonio haha Eamon

  • I feel like all this guy did was complicate things and make himself look like an ASS

    they hav the same face, powers and the whole point of the crypt was to explain how the family got from the mideast to Italy!

    as far as im concerned they ARE related

  • @Kango234 Nope. Play revelations, there you can pretty good see how Altair and Ezio are related. Altair was a mentor for the Polo Brothers. Marco Polo was born. marco became the patron of an pre-Auditore. That pre-Auditore had a Son. This son wrote the script in the Auditore crypt in the Villa in AC2, how he became the first Auditore (with his dad). I replayed the games recently...at no point someone says Altair is related to Ezio by blood. But Desmond with both. Deal with it. ^^

  • Do you think I could help make a fifth assassins creed

  • Why do you like to kill people?

  • no I like the story's

  • To describe the fact that Ezio and Altaitr both have eagle vision, I think of the family tree like a diamond, at the top of the diamond are the people from before who have the ability, then on the left is Altair and on the right is Ezio, and finally Desmond at the bottom, who is related to all three. thumbs up so the writers can use this as an excuse or something!

  • will the story ever take us to moorish empire sometime? and maby you should make a game about altairs father, and it could be some kind of secret revealed. and maby explain how hes father got the eagle vision, maby cause he was taken by aliens or something.

  • @outernettboy If you want to know more about his father, Umar, there is a book out that tells Altair's full story. Umar wasn't all that interesting.

  • Just a side note: the Animus was created by templars, based on the superhuman technology of Those Who Came Before. This suggests that these aliens might have had multiple means to store and relieve memories: one being the human DNA, others being Pieces of Eden(the Staff replays Rodrigo's voice in AC: The Fall), and yet others would be the artifacts hidden by Niccolo Polo in The Secret Crusade, which Ezio seeks in Revelations.

  • OK I just have 1 question ... Since Desmond is related to both therefor he can relive their memories and also can see memories of them outside the Animus.

    Then how did Ezio see AL-TAIR in AC Revelations trailer TWICE ????

    ( Once in middle of battle and the second on top where AL-TAIR made the leap of faith )

  • @HeartOfASaint it is because he uses the artifacts for that (the keys to the Masyaf safe)

  • @MrCringedragon sorry, I don't understand =/ ... Can you please explain? I would very much appreciate it!

  • @HeartOfASaint It's a new part of the story, as introduced in Relevations... Ezio finds "keys" for a temple (like the one in Brotherhood), created by "those who came before". These keys are like an ancient pre-human-science form of an Animus, with which he experiences Altair and has a bleeding effect similar to that of Desmond.

    I remember seeing it in an IGN video, but I don't remember which one.

  • @HeartOfASaint Sure thing, (sorry it took me so long to get around to it). Desmond uses the animus to relive his ancestors' memories. The animus is the device that allows him to do so. In a similar fashion, these artifacts (or keys to the Masyaf library) allow Ezio to relive memories that are enscribed into the artifact, so it does not have to be his ancestor. As you know, the bleeding effect caused Desmond to see Ezio (in the villa in brotherhood) and also relive Altair's sex scene with

  • templar woman. In the same way, Ezio is experiencing Altair even while he is not holding (or in contact with) the Masyaf Keys. He is able to experience Altair without the direct means to do so (the key/animus) due to the bleeding effect! Hope that answers your question!

  • @HeartOfASaint It's a trailer, it doesn't have to have a lot of sense! =P

  • @HeartOfASaint He finds These Magical Keys that let him see Altairs memories in the Game

  • @HeartOfASaint

    It was still Desmond living Ezios memories.

  • @HeartOfASaint i think he sees him thru the bleeding effect, or Eagle Eye, like wen ur playing the game, u can retrace ur enemy's paths as well as see their "spirit" even tho u hav no relation to them.

  • @imadouche714 sorry actually i meant Eagle Sense*. And not bleeding effect, only Desmond has the bleeding effect

  • @HeartOfASaint Ezio was the 'prophet' at the end of AC2, how did he figure out the password to to Colosseum at the end of ACB: 72? How did he get his eagle vision? My guess is that he wasn't just a normal man-assassin, he might have had like a special blessing or gift from the 'ones who came before' or something

  • @HeartOfASaint Eagle vision I guess?

  • Hey, 13scarfare13 here, well i've seen in a lot of videos and images of assassin's creed revelations that Ezio has a cape and in other videos and images he does not.Will you please let us know if you can equip and unequip the cape???

  • @13scarfare13  he will have a certain version of a cape in ACR while he is in Cappadocia

  • i assummed they were related cos they all looked the same but that was just a default for the animus of just desmonds looks. and that scar they all had wasnt that from ac2 (the rock to ezios face)?

    but its good they be letting us no more facts :)

  • @myersghostTUBE you might have only noticed it in AC2 but Altair has it too :) It's good to see that they're giving us new info though

  • @neighborofthedevil i noticed it on altair when i had another go playing ac1 after i finished ac:brotherhood but ezio only got the scar when he got hit in the face with the rock ,so thats pretty weird that they all have the exact same scar :S

  • thought i'd sum things up, they aren't related like great...great...grandpa they're related like cousins i suppose. They are both related to people of the ancient order meaning they are related but in a sense not like family reunion sorta related. Ezio learns of altair, but is learning about him because he is one of the other greats. They are related!

  • Every including my self were certain that Altair and ezio were related until recently, but watever makes the game good.

  • They just recently decided to do this, I'm pretty sure when ac2 came ezio and Altair were related but the new projects "new games" get new developers/ writers they bring there own ideas to the mix.

  • @TheNYCLegend Altair and Ezio are not related by blood. Rather, Desmond is related to both Altair and Ezio by blood (he is the connection between the two blood lines), which is how he is able to play both of them in the animus.

  • oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so sum 1 in ezios family liked sum1 in altiars family?

  • wait so they are but they're not related....... i need a lay down

  • I try to find out so much to understand the AC World in 100%... but with all those comics - all kind of portable launches - secret information.. and now this makes it all so fking hard to understand xD

    Im 17 yo... I like stories with a good background but this going to be TOO much

  • I mean how can both have the same face and eagle vision. And in the Revelations trailer how come Ezio sees Altair. >_>

  • Comment removed

  • @TEB01144 I don't think eagle vision is exclusive to just one bloodline. It's implied that at some point, humans and the members of the first civilizations began mingling, and that any human descended from those unions have the potential for eagle vision.

    As for Ezio seeing Altair, we know that at certain points in the game, Ezio will use these artifacts to relive parts of Altair's life. It could be a side effect of using those artifacts, similar to the bleeding effect Desmond suffers.

  • I mean it kinda makes sense they aren't related, one was in persia the other was in italy.

  • If eagle vision is past through bloodline and ezio and altair are not related either there was more than one bloodline breeded with those who came before or their was some insest going on

  • Oh... I get it, for example Ezio's new love interest "could" be a descendant of Altiar

  • They are related by one thing: awesomeness.

  • I am the only whant who thinks that with this, ubisoft totally screwed whole lineage Idea of Assassins Creed? And Why Ezio Looks like Altaïr? And what about that symbolic Scar that Ezio gains in fight with Vieri that also Altaïr and Desmond have?

  • @lihkan yea! i mean they look the same if yu just take out the facial hair of Ezio they all look the same

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • So, in a manner of speaking,

    "Altair is on your mothers side,

    Ezio's on your fathers side."

  • so why is altair's statue and armor in AC2?!?!? i thought it was there cuz it was passed down. he's right it made me madder

  • @NinjaApe101 it is there because Domenico Auditore put statues of various famous assassins

  • they should make one on modern assassin now that who be awesome

  • I always thought the main assassins didn't need to be related to eachother to be related to Desmond, but just like many people, I thought Mario stated Altaïr was Ezio's ancestor in AC II. I did have a feeling the assassin from AC III would be from a different branch though.

  • Does ezio have a kid??

  • @ilikekittens123 I think a daughter.

  • @ilikekittens123 and @DippersandSmiles He has a daughter AND a son. :D You'll see it all in Revelations.

  • @TriggerExDude He ca see it in the embers trailer, lol and movie

  • @t260y Yes I know, but no one actually KNOWS they're his children.

  • @TriggerExDude yeah, they do, it's been confirmed

  • @ilikekittens123 a boy and a girl

  • Get Assassin's Creed Revelations Demo (it worked for me) check it out

    /watch?v=Szl5tzooyz4

  • maybe his mom was related to ezio and his dad to altair??

  • not madder but it makes even more sense

  • i think Altair is Batman , Batman's ancestors

  • Then why the fuck did you give Ezio & Altaïr the same face and movement style in the first place? Seriously, this is bullshit!

  • Who says Ezio is reliving Altair's memories? How could he do it with a piece of ivory or whatever Altairs seals are made of?

  • @ineedatotem They were made by the first civilization, who were highly advanced in technology. Altair must have found them and decided to use them as keys to the hidden library.

  • i know. i finally worked it out. after weeks of careful studying i have realised... altair must have shagged ezio

  • Then explain the birthmark on all three faces of the assassins (from our view, its the upper left scar above his lip)

  • @ItTastesGood It's not a birthmark, but a scar. We see Ezio get it in the opening fight of AC2, but I think they have it there to also make them all seem like the same person, or to show a connection. Know what I mean? Like when Desmond referred to himself as Ezio (or was at least confused by it) during the beginning of ACB when he sees the ghosts escaping the villa.

  • @Pitalla I think they're just trying to be confusing... I'm not sure why, but Ubisoft seems to not want to actually explain anything important like that.

  • Are people serious? Blood lines are never 100%. They are never direct.

  • 0:53 Heyyyyyyyy Assassins!!!

  • Then who the fuck made that rumor that Altair was Ezio's ancestor ?

  • Desmond sees Altairs memories... and they both have eagle vision because of the bleed effect, it is Desmond who has eagle vision

  • ZOMG there not related, then its just coincidence both their first names mean eagle in their respective languages

  • screw that, in my mind theyre related

  • @kingjesse1122 same here

  • i hope they make an assassins creed were you play as your own created assassin who has to do with ezio, like a cousin or something.

  • @NaivePheonix Because when ezio get more of Altair's artifacts he relives some of his memories.

  • So how come they made Altair, Ezio and Desmond look exactly the same then hmmmmm?

  • @mitchcafc1895 well if u look at ezio on the cover of the box and in the cinemarics (and altair in the intro) ...they're different from the actual gameplay

    it is ezio"s and altair's story but its desmond thats movin in the animus he projects an image of him self

    thats wat i think

  • I tried really hard to find the "mild sexaul refrences" but i couldn't find it :(

  • @Metroblaster pornhub?

  • @lewisss321 Hahaha... im sort of getting tired of pornhub and redtube and Brazzers... what is there left?

  • @Metroblaster haha erm youjizz or something like that.. hehe

  • Wait did'nt someone said to Ezio it's the Blade fo one of his ancestors?

    And if Domenico Auditore was from venice its likely his farther could have lived in constantinopel which could have been where Maria thorpe and her child went... And ezio uses AltaIirs sword how did his family get it? And he used Marias dagger... And the Eagle sense and so on could only be inherited in direct bloodline if i understood right... So they must be related!

  • @Chrissaful Just because someone has someone else's stuff, doesn't mean they're related. ._. I own a custom made, preowned dagger from India, that doesn't mean I'm related to it's original owner.

    Eagle vision was also not specified to a single bloodline. Giovanni Borgia had it and it's strongly suggested Francesco did as well, since he's the one who showed Giovanni how to use it. Both were assassins born into the order.

  • It makes sense that Ezio and Altair aren't related in a sense, there's only roughly 100 years between them, that's only one generation between Ezio and Altair.

    Also, Eagle Vision is a '6th sense' that was passed on through Assassin's that were born into the order, meaning these were assassins that were descedents of, quite literally, Adam and Eve, hybrid 'God'/Humans.

    What distresses me more is that Desmond is the only modern day assassin that seems to possess this skill still.

  • @LadyLatias actually 400 years- altair in the 12th century and ezio in the 15th-16th century

  • @warhawksxaid Between Altair's death (1257) and Ezio's birth (1458), that's only 200 years actually. That's still only 2-3 generations, really not enough to get rid of the middle Eastern distinction.

  • @LadyLatias But don't forget that Shaun once told Desmond that he also has a certain gift. Maybe the eagle vision took on different forms throughout different assassin bloodlines?

  • @ParanoidToaster Shaun wasn't born into the order though meaning there's a very good chance that he would not have a bloodline of Assassins, at least not relevant enough to show any signs of Eagle Vision. Besides, his 'gift' he was refering to was his uncanny historical and information abilities... he's just a bit of an egotisical bastard with it. ;)

  • 0:48

    RUN GABE! RUN!

  • Instead of saying "Hello Assassins" they should say "Hello Assassin wanna bees" (yes i play AC)

  • @jasonvdw24 Where do they say that 16 relived Altair's memories....? Far as I can tell, he never did. That's why Desmond came into play. The templar's couldn't find Ezio's PoE, so they kidnapped Desmond to view Altair's memories and see where all the other PoE were located. If 16 could view those memories, they would never have needed Desmond in the first place.

  • after revelations is over i hope they make more ac games with the assassins that were in the sanctuary

  • @TheCal1109 revelations is not the last in the series. There are supposed to be 3 assassins.

  • @dukeaddict237 well after they finish with desmond i think they should go back to the other assassins

  • @TheCal1109 i think it would be awesome if ac3 ( possible name) desmond was the main main assasin and do stuff in a modern city

  • @Sonny18x me too but how would he do a leap of faith?

  • @TheCal1109 convenient mattresses? lol idk

  • @Sonny18x iwas thinkin more of a trash can but matress works too lol

  • @Sonny18x iwas thibkin more of a trash can

  • @Sonny18x i was actually thinkin trash can

  • @Sonny18x dont tell anyone this but THATS EXACTLY WHATS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!!!

  • @TheCal1109 iv thought about that but how would he do leap of faith

  • @TheCal1109 I feel SO retarded but, wtf is the sanctuary.

  • @House3272 It is the room with the statues of six assassins. The room that Desmond, Lucy and others are at in AC: Brotherhood, the room at the villa.

  • @House3272 lol its where they placed statues for all of the best assassins

  • @House3272 its where thay kept statues of all the most important assassins from all time

  • if desmond is the comination of ezio's family and altiar's family then how can subject 16 also relive both of their memories ???? hmmm a weak piont in the story telling ????

  • @jasonvdw24 subject 16 could be ezio's sibling

  • @UsingLemons ezio's sibling ... hmmm dont think so but if you meant desomds sibling ... that might be a thought

  • But wasn't Darim, son of Altair, the only surviving Assassin at one point and as such EVERY Assassin by blood is descended from him and as such Altair?

  • @RainAndKisses Considering they have more than one Assassin in other parts of the world, like Asia and Europe, it's highly unlikely. ._.

  • oh man, I wanted them to be related :( Grampa Altair

  • @ripperasylum - i'm talking about the adam and eve in the AC series, not the religion version, my friend. :) btw im deist, so i don't give a damn about religion. no offense meant. :)

  • it funny how Gabe ran

  • Now I hope they'll show Desmond's parents.

  • HOW CAN EZIO RELIVE ALTAIR'S MEMORIES IF THEY'RE NOT RELATED!?

  • @NaivePheonix when Ezio pick up the seal, it went into a memory of Altair

  • @NaivePheonix I don't think Ezio is reliving Altair's memories... I think it's Desmond who is doing that.

    Remember, Ezio doesn't have an animus.. what he see's is just a ghost (figure of speech)... Nothing else.

  • @NaivePheonix Throught the artifat that Ezio is hunting through Revelations.

  • @NaivePheonix Easy.. the artifacts themselves house Altair's memories, he is not viewing his own DNA.

  • @NaivePheonix due to artifacts he finds

  • @NaivePheonix He uses a DISC with the memory, not an Animus device. It's close to it, but the viewer doesn't have to be genetically related.

  • @NaivePheonix BECAUSE THE SEAL OF ALTAIR SHOWS THE MEMORY TO THE ONE WHO HOLD'S IT !!!!!

  • @NaivePheonix i think because like he explained through the video they are being relived by desmond.

    and just dont question assassins creed man because if you are then question modern science or how can you see peoples memories through a machine called the animous, cmon man let the game be and dont spoil the fun out of it !!!

  • @NaivePheonix Magic.

  • @NaivePheonix because fuck you thats why

  • @NaivePheonix cause ezio is badass!

  • @NaivePheonix It could be that his dad's ancestor is altair and his mother's ezio.

    ................or the other way round......

  • @NaivePheonix Wow, are you retarded? Ubisoft continually states that Ezio is on a quest for revelations into the Assassins, and by doing so he finds and unlocks keys, I think six of them, which act as a precursor to the Animus meaning that it doesnt tap into Ezio's dna, but rather shows glimpses of important moments into Altiar's lives.

    Please people, for the sake of stupidity, thumb this up so stupid comments arent at the top.

  • @malizlewa fu thumbs whore

  • @EvilsAngels94 Get a life idiot he was making a statement.

  • @codyki9 I'm a gamer - i have many lives.

  • @malizlewa Well his/ her username is NaivePheonix after all.

  • @NaivePheonix stupid kid

  • @NaivePheonix Look the GamesCom Demo!

  • @NaivePheonix did you even watch this video?? They are not from the same bloodline.. So Ezzio could be from Desmonds mothers bloodline, en Altair from Desmonds father.

  • @wilhum Yeah, but how could ezio relive altairs memorys then?

  • @NaivePheonix Because he finds the keys altair left behind thats the whole point of ezios story! THE KEYS make Ezio relive Altairs memories! pay attention!

  • @NaivePheonix

    You can find seals in ACR that hold Altairs memories.
