Assassin's Creed: Revelations: Difference between revisions

'''''Assassin's Creed: Revelations''''' is the fourth entry in the ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' series.

* [[Call Back]]:

** In one mission, Ezio dresses as a minstrel and sings about various events from the previous two games. The entire mission is one huge running joke based on people's mockery of the minstrels in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''Brotherhood'', from {{spoiler|Prince Ahmet}} mocking the Janissaries' leader for an Italian lutist {{spoiler|defending Prince Suleiman from an assailant when they could not}} to one of Ezio's own songs:

[[Groin Attack|Please kick me in the loins]]."'' }}

** Ishak Pasha's coffin looks exactly the same as the one found in the Assassin Tombs in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.

** Ezio also storms an Arsenal to take down a target, yet again.

* [[Christmas Cake]]: If Ezio wasn't this in ''Brotherhood'', he certainly is now. Yusuf provides the jokes.

And another gem from Yusuf, after Ezio mentions learning to play the lute when he was young: ''"When were you ever young?"'' }}

* [[City of Adventure]]: Constantinople straddles so many different regions of the world, it's a place where anything can happen.

* [[Old Master]]: Ezio fits the criteria: still able to train Assassins, still able to soundly kick the asses of anyone he meets despite his age. Altaïr even more so: at 82 (never mind 62) he is still incredibly deadly, and further has the absolute respect of all his fellows who remain true to the Creed, as Abbas discovers to his misfortune.

* [[One-Man Army]]: At the ripe old age of 52, Ezio is still [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCTtIIW1WA0 pretty much unstoppable], and he knows it.

'''Ezio:''' "[[Badass Boast|I am enough]]." }}

* [[Painting the Medium]]: A variation on this. The console versions of this game miss out on this, but with the PC version, when you start the 'Desmond's Journey' sequences, the main game closes, and soon after, the sequence opens up in a new program. It seems like an odd bug, but it's not - the Journey sequences are is an entirely different program from the main game's. It also feels perfectly in line with the entire "corrupted dataflow" style the Animus of this game has adopted.

* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: At the request of Prince Suleiman, Ezio {{spoiler|assassinates Tarik Barleti, who had secretly been working against the Templars.}} Would've been nice if he had shared that info. In the end, his plan succeeds only because Ezio intervenes.

** Lampshaded by Suleiman {{spoiler|who'd requested the assassination}}:

** Even {{spoiler|Tarik}} admitted that in hindsight it was sorta his fault:

* [[Praetorian Guard]]: The Janissaries, which is a plot point thanks to their loyalty to their captain Tarik Barleti, who opposes Prince Ahmet's succession of the reigning Sultan Bayezid II.

* [[Recursive Reality]]: The player is controlling Desmond, who's experiencing his ancestor Ezio's life, who occasionally experiences Altaïr's life as he gathers the Masyaf Keys, which basically act as mini-Animuses to him. And no, this is not [[Mind Screw]] yet, at least not by ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' standards.

** Altaïr has hidden {{spoiler|the Apple from the first game}} in a vault under Masyaf, requiring all of his seals to open it. While it is a surprise to Ezio to find it there, {{spoiler|he refuses to use it, and the previous games' stories reveal that it was later found and used by the Templars until being destroyed in a satellite accident}}.

** A minor example, from the {{spoiler|ante}}penultimate Altaïr sequence:

''{{spoiler|*BLAM*}}'' }}

* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', Ezio's hidden blade got attachments for a thin poison needle and a pistol alongside the usual stabbing blade. In ''Revelations'' the hookblade is added, useful for ziplining, faster climbing, all new fatalities, and [[Mundane Utility|picking flowers]]!

** When you steal from civilians, they will attempt to fight you. Usually, punching them once makes them run away. However, you can choose to let them make the first strike and counter - attack them with your fists to drop'em to the ground groaning and clutching their various damaged body parts. As this is non - lethal, it doesn't affect your synchronization at all, allowing you to cover a whole street with a carpet of hapless civilians you just stole from. [[What the Hell, Hero?|Gangsta]].

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: In a mission, Ezio bribes some heralds into instigating a riot in order for the mob to break the doors of the arsenal. Yusuf calls him out on this.

'''Ezio:''' It's not pretty, I know. }}

** The Assassins also backed the Ottoman Empire to gain an ally in fighting the Borgia Papacy. This has unintended consequences as *many* Templar agents are recruited from countries the Ottomans proceed to invade and conquer. The Count (aka Vlad Tepes) allies with the Templars in order to defend his homeland, and is promptly murdered by Ishak Pasha, an Assassin. As a result, the Sentinel betrays and murders many of his former comrades for selling out his homeland. The Renegade fights to avenge his murdered tribe as Manuel's bodyguard. The Vanguard likewise seeks to defend her homeland from Turk conquest. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]].
