Yeah I drafted a similar response, but didn't actually hit submit. I didn't read his tweet as anything but sincere. Weird gif reaction.

There's no way they're going to do the small piles of hay from the games, unless it's secretly a comedy.

That music was awful and it just looked like a greatest hits of assassiny things with no real substance.

Music is whatever, but I think that looks visually fantastic.
That's actually really cool to see.
Considering the guy couldn't even play ACIII and the rest, that must mean something to him to see the trailer and how well everything looks.
Revelations really was the absolute high point of AC trailers.

...I have a sneaking suspicion here that the plot of a rehash and/or condensing of Desmond's plot.
Abstergo kidnap a man (in this case, a man about to be executed - could always be false charges though) and put him inside the animus to gleam info from his ancestor that is going to be of some use to them. Given the emphasis on him learning physical skills, I'd wager that there's something they want him to do - probably involving a precursor artefact or location - and they figure the best result is to have him learn exactly how his ancestor did all those hundreds of years ago, and repeat that today. That way you get the whole beat of Abstergo being evil, the mechanics of the animus, and the whole precursor backstory for a filmgoing audience who may know none of it.

Good trailer, but I'm going to keep my hopes low given the history.
Also, nah to that Kanye.

Yes.
Composer is his brother so that's easy.
Also people should watch Snowtown, also amazing film.
So much better. Woodkid should provide the music to every AC trailer. Revelations did it right.

This is the most GAF thing ever!

I'm sure this is a sign!

See, this is the kind of comments I just can't take seriously.
Tell us something else. Elaborate. What makes it look like shit to you?
A billion times better, goodness. Who the hell cuts these trailers in Hollywood?

Better song choice, but it makes the trailer worse when it's playing lyrics over dialogue
Very cool to see my hometown, Seville, in the trailer.
Jumping from the top of the Giralda must be painful, tho.

That is pretty classy.
Check out the "cool" guy everybody.
Music sucks in the video.
I'm interested enough to see it cheap later though.
That Woodkid trailer? Perfection.

Dialog over lyrics was really jarring. Did not like that one bit. I prefer the other Woodkid trailer with no lyrics.
I don't know if this is serious or sarcasm. Mostly because....
What's with the GIF?

Same as the WoW trailer using The Prodigy.
Love Prodigy, Love WoW.. awful fucking mix.

I agree at points it didn't feel right tonally. I think something more subdued would be better.
Yeah have to say I'm with you, for my version I actually first started out with Iron, too, but felt that it just didn't fit the often quick cuts of the trailer. Then went to Run Boy Run, but didn't like the lyrics clashing with what you see and hear in the trailer, so I went with the instrumental. Just in case some of you guys haven't seen it yet, hope it's OK to link it again: Assassin's Creed Trailer - Run Boy Run Recut
I'm predicting this is a way from him to get back to the real world/wake up in the movie.

Looks worse than I expected. I actually had some hopes for this, but going by the trailer the only good thing seems to be the great cast. The song selection was terrible and seems just a typical by the numbers action without any substance. Hopefully the actual movie will be better than the trailer suggests. Well trailers often are a bad indication of the actual film so I don't worry about it too much. I'm still looking forward to this and mainly because of Fassbender and Cotillard.
I Am A God - dope track!

What kind of action would you expecting from a series that's about parkour rooftop chases and flashy hand-to-hand?

I really can't stand when they inject hip hop or R&B or whatever this genre is calling itself now into period pieces. It is so fucking out of place. The Great Gatsby had the same shit, people complained and they do it again. It really takes me out of the movie.
I have yet to see a videogame based movie that is any good in my entire life so I am not hopeful for this one at all sadly and the out of place music seems like a poor start.

Shootouts and car chases.

This is really cool edit too and nice choice about only instrumental version.
You couldn't hazard a guess?

Yeah, I had found it pretty quickly when I googled. I need to stop doing that shit. I'm an impatient ass motherfucker.
