Detective Veronica Mars (also known as Kristen Bell in the dimension where women take really long in the bathroom) went through a portal to meet with IGN and dropped major sci-fi bombs on the plot of Assassin's Creed:
"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 (WHAT?!!) 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."
Holy Asimov! It seems that we'll be doing a heck of a lot more than burninating thatched roof cottages in the Third Crusade. We saw a glimpse of a memory GUI last week, so apparently the missions have something to do with unraveling a mystery that's hidden in the genetic code of ancestral assassins ... rendered in 1080, give or take your blood type. So when you die in the game does that mean you have bad unconscious memory, or is that crap in a dirty petri dish messing up your Microsoft Points?
Truth be told, I'm more nervous Keanu-style that when the story hits my brain I might have to sort of locate sucky words to describe it. Did this game just jump the shark? Hopefully they can bring the awesome in present day.
[Thanks Richard!]

Now, I'm not to sure what to think of this game.
Oh, and nice image Niero!
I'm just hoping that, instead of taking the game into the future, they bring some of the future into the past. At any rate, it sounds interesting!
I guess a franchise for this title would mean different Assassins sit in this seat, pretty much giving a near limitless amount of sequels.
That look is just so freaking awesome.
Kinda' like in Hitman: Blood Money with the flashback style game.
As long as the gameplay is awesome, I really don't care if it's framed by a sci-fi storyline or not.
I agree, sometimes the Wikipedia can be wrong.. but most of the time ít isn't.
Also this was briefly discussed in penny arcade but I think it was edited out a few days after at least most of it. I have a small blog entry regarding it. (in spanish)
