That transition at the very end where the camera pans around the chair and you see Ezio kneeling there is one of the best transitions in history. The entire scene in fact. It's a passing of the torch in almost every way. It shows Altäir passing his wisdom to Ezio, Ezio then passing his to Desmond. It has a new composer, who made an incredibly cinematic score for this game and captured the emotion of it perfectly. It even has a new writer. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
Restless Entertainment Yes absolutely right we can see the entire lives of both men flashing in front of us and thus we know these dedicated men have done their part and now its time to say goodbye..
Yeah, Revelations was an amazing game with the best story ever. I believe that this game was the best in the trilogy of Ezio. Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho!
@This Is What Awesome Looks Like doesn't that, by extension, make ezio also worthy because he resisted taking the apple, and understood that he was a small part of a bigger picture
@@__skillz no accepting you’re not worthy to hold such a powerful item doesn’t make you worthy to wield rather it means you’re wise enough to know you shouldn’t hold it.
To watch Altair and Ezio so old and fragile makes me so sad But it kind of reminds me that it's just part of nature, we cannot escape from that. One day we will all be a shadow of our former selves.
Believe it or not people in the old days were healthy so healthy that there were no incurable disease among them like today even if he was in his 60s he may have felt like he was in his 30s
Me too. :( There's 2 reasons he should have appeared here. 1. It's not impossible for Malik to make appearance in this game because the Voice actor for Suleiman is the same with Malik, ie; Haaz Sleiman. 2. He should have appeared in the first two missions. Where before he had his arm cut off; the first mission and the second mission where Altair sends him to Jerusalem. Damn, I was excited to see his remodel. :(
DiMZLY BriXX According to the book he was framed for killing Altair's son and put in the dungeon. When Altair returned he saw that a council had taken over but he did not believe that Malik killed his son. So that night he broke him out of prison and took him back with him to his room and where him and Maria proceeded to nurse him back to health. Unfortunately when he went to confront Abas The next day they killed Malik and framed him for it. While him and Maria were out of the room an assassin came and decapitated Malik and Abas made it look like Altair killed Malik out of revenge for Malik killing his son. Also the book was much more graphic. After the assassin admitted to killing his sonAltair became in raged in and use the Apple against the assassin. However in the book the assassin didn't just freeze up. He proceeded to claw his own face off; ripping off bits of flesh and mutilating himself while wildly thrashing around. Maria was killed when she tried to stop Altair. And the assassin that was possessed by the Apple while lease one his blade around and unintentionally slit her throat. When he escaped in the book he did not do so by writing out of the city with his son by his side. He jumped from the tower overlooking the cliffs which left the assassins to think he committed suicide out of grief for accidentally killing Maria.
Malik was executed when he was discovered helping Altair after Sef's death. You should read the book, Assassin's Creed Revelations. It tells the full story of Altair's whole life as well as the time Ezio was in Constantinople. If I had to say which book was the greatest, then Revelation is definitely recommended. What was once historical, returned being hidden from the world.
Honestly this was my favorite game of all the AC games. Especially with these parts. Altair said “if only I had the humility to say I have seen enough for one life.” The apple no doubt helped him live to that age and be able to go that long. That’s exactly what Ezio learned. When tempted with the apple again in Altair library, he shuns it away and says “No, I have seen enough for one life.” Ezio absolutely could have lived to the same age as Altair, but Ezio did what Altair wished he could do. That was his message.
Holy fucking shit! When he said he didn't know who these messages were for, they were for ezio not Desmond! Thanks man. My neighbours called the cops. Apparently someone was moaning too loudly.
@@anordinarygentleman7077 One of the greatest fighters of all time (Kamaru Usman) is 36 years old and can barely run. Didn’t stop him from destroying his competition.
Revelations was awesome. It was similar to Brotherhood but for me, Revelations was better. I liked the older Ezio and side characters in Revelations and the Altair memories were epic.
Says a lot about the strength of Altair as it's implied he studied the Apple's secrets for decades. Words cannot express the weight he must have carried, on top of the loss he suffered throughout his life. Truly a legend.
if only i possessed the humility to say to myself i have seen enough for one life, i have done my part But then again there is no greater glory then fighting to find the truth
Honestly the end of Altair’s and Ezio’s story in this game is so amazing. How they are polar opposites and how Altair wishes he would’ve said that he’s seen enough and how Ezio admits that and gives up his life as an Assassin while Altair dies being one. Also when Ezio talks to Desmond, just pure perfection and the best way to Cap off their arcs.
Of all main assassins Altair's story may be the saddest Some like Ezio, Edward, Connor had a family at the end, retired and had good endings Altair had to abandon his family willingly and he died alone having most everyone. Mentor, wife, friends, children. He only had Darim left, and he had to let him go
Hold on, in the scene where Altair gives Nicollo Polo the codex, Altair is 92. In the scene where Altair says goodbye to his son, Altair is still 92 but his son looks like he gets way older in under a year.
My eyes get on tears everytime I watch the part at 16:20, I know it's just a game but the background story behind that scene and the conversation is very emotional, well written by game devs..
Based on pure story telling this was my absolute favorite assassins creed game, the synergy between altair - ezio - desmond, was just so well done. And it felt like a dream when I visited istanbul myself, I really hope one day ubisoft will find back to its roots.
We should all look at this the way it was supposed to be looked at. Keys #1 and #2 showed Altair as a young assassin rising through the order until he became the mentor of the assassin order. Key #3 is when he is an older man and with a family. It showcases a man who's had it all but lost it in mere moments. The only one who alive was his oldest son. Key #4 showed Altair reclaiming his throne as the true mentor of the Assassins. However this was also a burden. He could've given his son the title of mentor or someone younger and trustworthy. This is why he said what he said in key #5 Key #5 Altair has placed his memories in keys to be discovered by someone he would know nothing about. However because of the influence of the apple he felt obligated to teach this "someone" to be wise enough to know when to stop fighting and to live the life they and everyone deserves to live. A life of peace and with a family. This is the reason why he never told his son the true purpose of the vault and only told him to "live well". Altair had many chances to retire but he didn't. He was burdened to keep fighting and at the very end he died a regretful life. But not people passing on his memories. Key #6 Altair tells his only son to live well for him as Altair could never do. And without knowing it he taught Ezio that he had seen enough for one life time just like Altair had when he saw Niccolo polo off. Its safe to assume that if Altair didn't leave these memories behind then Ezio would've token the apple to continue fighting and in the end he would've died alone and regretful just like Altair in the very end. Instead Ezio took a different path. Leaving the Apple and starting a family with Sophia.
I almost forgot key #7 which was not made until Warren Vidic built the animus and allowed Desmond to view Ezio memories. This last "key" was left by Ezio who in the end wanted to teach Desmond one final lesson to end his story.
pâgal Làdká Lucy says in AC1 that the animus removes accents, but the animus that Desmond uses in ACII, BH & R didn't change the accent that they should have.
I was actually almost crying when Maria died in Altairs hands. Funny enough, “Bloodlines” was the actual first AC game I played so Maria and Altair pair had a kind of sentimental value to me. And I just imagined Altairs pain: his youngest son is dead, his best friend was killed, his whole Order was taken over and now his own wife, love of his life, dies in his own hands.
Sooo the first cutscene, Altair is nothing like the one from AC 1, he is calm and collected. The one from AC1 is brash and impulsive. Is it an updated/alternate storyline? Or does did altair truly go rogue before the events of AC1
Jeff Cantrell its because its set before AC1 , while Altair was still being trained and mentored. at the beginning of AC1 he's Al Muslims most skilled assassin so there's quite a few years between this and ac1 so during that period power and being fearless got to altair
OG Mudbone on ac 1 he had just lost the girl he loved thats why he was arrogant her name was adha one of the templars kidnap her and he couldnt catch up to the ship she was in.in a book or comic i dont remember he found the ship but she was already dead.he never knew her but he had memories of her.play altair chronicles its before ac 1 thats why he was such a dick lol
Today I read the book based on the game. Filled me with memories. I really miss this emotions in the games. For me the series died with Ezio. Connor was also good, but the emotional line was weaker. Damn, I know Ezio and Altair are cgi charakters, but I gave them a tear.
He Is A Legacy, He Is A Warrior, He Is The Master Assassin, But Truly Is...He Is A Legend That Lives Across Different Legends Like Ezio Auditore And It Lives In Us, Everyone Has An Inner Altäir, An Inner Legend And An Inner Him.
I like that both Altair and Ezio were heroes on their own way, but like most heroes, they die in humility or ruin, sometimes not understanded by their pairs.
For those of you who aren't good at arabic, al muailim is a very good name since it comes from the word ilm which means knowledge so al mualim means the knowledgeable one
For everyone commenting about his age, the mixed dna of the protagonists who can wield pieces of eden, like he, ezio, Al Mualim, Rodrigo Borgia, and Haytham Kenway, all clearly get extended aging and somewhat enhanced physicality as a result. It's a logical assumption that perfectly explains all the weird crap with their strength and speed. Take the extreme example of Borgia, who did a good job wielding two pieces of eden, was able to duke it out with Ezio. Like 3 times. Despite being a portly man. That's not going over their heads. It's less ridiculous than eagle vision.
I wish they would remaster the first assassins creed for PS4/Xbox One with the Altair in AC Revelations, the accent mainly tbh. And the graphics of course
in assassins creed the secret crusade, malik is imprisoned in the dungeons, accused of murdering sef, altair and maria helped him escape but malik was later found, then executed, and later when altair returns to the village, they sent malik junior (his son) to kill altair, malik jr helped altair to get to the castle, i honestly think the book did the story part a little better, as with all books.
