Tom Hanks should be in the game or ELSE! - Assassin's Creed 2 Teaser



ANIMUS: THE OFFICIAL TEASER SITE


*SPOILER WARNING*


The trailer begins with sketches of the Assassin's tools of the trade including the signature Altair wrist blade and leading up to The Virtruvian Man by The Great Renaissance artist, Leonardo da Vinci. It ends with the newly updated Assassin's logo. I take a look back at the previous images and they seem to fall in the da Vinci sort of illustrations. I went to a conclusion that a part of Assassin's Creed 2 will have a character use the Animus in The Renaissance period. We are not sure if it's Desmond in control or someone else of the modern society of the Assassins but it's gonna be someone and we will know soon in the coming weeks and months.

Also some information was revealed in the ANIMUS site with a date for either the May or June issue of Game Informer (04/16/09) which is either going to release the cover or release the issue being Assassin's Creed 2 is the main story. Also there is a weird looking logo at the end of the trailer. Clicking on the logo goes to a PDF file with the directions:

TO LOAD CORRESPONDING MEMORY FRAGMENT:

1. PRINT ARTIFACT SYMBOL.
2. LOCATE WELL LIT WORK AREA.
3. ACTIVATE LOCAL WEBCAM.
4. INITIATE VIRTUAL INTERFACE.
5. DETERMINE MATCHING PARTITION.


This is pretty much a viral campaign. Unusual usage but interesting.

UPDATE!

With the power of the internets I looked at the results of the webcam and seen that it shows multiple images involving the Assasins. I also tried doing it and it was pretty cool.
