Secrets of Assassin's Creed Leaked?

Actress lets the premise of high profile Ubisoft title out of the bag in interview.

Secret Assassin's Creed plot slipped by Veronica Mars star: Kristen Bell

Ubisoft's Montreal's upcoming action game set in 1191 AD during the Third Crusade. As the assassin Altair, players are tasked with eliminating key figures on both sides of the war in an attempt to end the hostilities. Not only does Assassin's Creed offer new stealth mechanics thanks to its social camouflage feature, it also showcases new acrobatic maneuvers using the immediate environment around Altair that haven't been seen before in a game. While there were some curious hints as to whether or not the entire game would be set solely in the Third Crusade thanks to some of the video clips that have been released, we were looking forward to potentially changing the course of history.

Or will we? Interestingly, it seems as though the medieval action title isn't exactly what it seems. Looks like there's more of a sci-fi twist to the game than we initially thought. In an interview with IGN TV, Kristen Bell, the star of Veronica Mars explains her connection to the upcoming game. She also reveals the sci-fi premise behind the game: "It's actually really interesting to me. It's sort of based on the research that's sort of happening now, about the fact that your genes might be able to hold memory. And you could argue semantics and say it's instinct, but how does a baby bird know to eat a worm, as opposed to a cockroach, if its parents don't show it? And it's about this science company trying to, Matrix-style, go into peoples brains and find out an ancestor who used to be an assassin, and sort of locate who that person is."

d'oh!

Well, secret plot indeed. Too bad it's just a single, very, very generic sentence.

Not really a catastrophe.

Hmmm.. I already knew that information a long time ago, so I don't think it's really leaked secret information.

 

[Man|-|unter]

dude, it's yesterday news and you knew long time ago?

 

[Anthraxxx]

Yeah, i remember hearing about the premise of the game a long time ago. It's nothing new to me.

 

[warden]

yeah ive heard this before to- so don't think its anything too earth shattering for Ubisoft.

And anyway i think some of the videos released so far have had DNA structure diagrams (see the pic!) overlayed on them (the bits where it goes all static). And the menu screen that was released when Ubisoft accidently uploaded all that concept stuff to the ftp site definitely had it on.

So its not too much of a stretch to go from DNA structures to genetic memeries!

 

[Bad^Hat]

Ancient medieval recipe, huh?

I think the secret is that the really really hot Veronica Mars gal has something to do with it! Man, Jade producing and this other gal doing something else with it--its probably the hottest collaboration in videogame history!!

 

[hungryduck]

whoops.

Dumb Blond?

 

[Tamer17]

Why didn't I know Kristen Bell is giving her voice and her looks for the game? Now I have more reason to play the game. Go Veronica.

Actually , the game sounds more interesting after I read what she said.

dude, it's yesterday news and you knew long time ago?

it's true it was already, awhile ago, speculated/hinted at that the game would have something about genetic memory/future-stuff...

Lol. Agreed.

 

[B_MAN]

Jade > Kristen.

Am I the only one who finds it very annoying when people refer to the matrix for any sort of deep or meaningful plot? There a guy I knew who always said things were "matrix style" whenever somebody said something even remotely thought provoking.

eh? whats that? topic? Oh yeah... meh no biggie for Ubisoft.
