Assassin's Creed HD Trailer

The main story of Assassin's Creed takes place in September 2012; Desmond Miles, a bartender, has been kidnapped by the fictional company Abstergo Industries in order to be used as a test subject in the "Animus," a device that can stimulate the recall of ancestral memories buried in the user's DNA. Abstergo has Desmond use the device to recall the role of Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad (?????? ??? ?? ??? , Arabic: "The Flying One, Son of None" or "The Bird, Son of None"), one of Desmond's ancestors, in the "Assassin Brotherhood" during 1191 as part of the Third Crusade in the Holy Land. The character and his clan are based on a true military wing, called Hashshashin along with a Jewish assassin group called the Zealots, the idea for it coming from "Blitzkrieg to Desert Storm: The Evolution of Operational Warfare" by Robert M. Citino along with Bartol's novel Alamut. Desmond at first has trouble adjusting to the device, but eventually is able to relive Altaïr's exploits over the next several days. Much of the core game is then presented from Altaïr's point-of-view as seen by Desmond, though at times interrupted by glitches resulting from the Animus...
