remember when i said that film and game would eventually combine to create 1 overall media, well i mentioned that Assassins creed 2 had been doing that and has created a film to go side by side with the game as part of the overall experience, the film introduces the game unlike any other game has been introduced before.
I just watched the 3 part film, lasting around 30-40 minutes, which is basically a real film setting the story for the game that you play, they released part 1,2 and 3 at different times but i watched the entire film, which ends with the line 'the rest is in your hands' and leaves the film with the game ready to be played.
Overall as far as films go it was very well directed, Italian actors speaking english wasn't a problem although i personally feel subtitles would have given it a more realistic Italian film, but i guess it is based on an american and UK audience so speaking english would have been prefered. The acting was done well, and the camera shots throughout made it a very enjoyable experience, and with its similarities to the game, you can play the game straight after and know exactly whats going on, especially with the incredible graphics that the game has, you will feel as though you're in the film.
This was afterall a film done by Ubisoft, a games company, and it was their first attempt at making a film, or any other media other than a game really, so for a first attempt they really have set a high standard, and I feel these different media's joining forces to create an overall gaming experience is something very unique and i dont think it will be long before other games decide to do similiar.
The idea behind the film is to combine film and game in 1 experience, and Ubisoft has definetly achieved this, with the film getting millions of hits on youtube in the first day of release, people will be talking about assassins creed as a milestone for the gaming industry, the game to make the first move in changing the gaming experience for the better.
