    Assassin's Creed is known for some crazy stunts, none more so than the Leap of Faith. But can you REALLY jump off a building, land in hay, and walk away like Ezio and the rest of the Assassins? More importantly, what does the WAY Ezio falls REALLY say about the Assassin's Creed universe?

    Im pretty sure the Assassins have the first civilization DNA mixed in with their human DNA so it might mean that they can survive stuff that humans can’t. Which explains how they recover so easily from sword and bullet wounds and can get right back up after such high falls. But that’s just a theory. A game theory

    I just realised something assassin creed takes place in memories. When a person is jumping off something wouldnt their perception of time be altered because of adrenaline ? maybe it could cause them to think they are moving faster.

    • @modetallah
      @modetallah Před 9 lety +85

      Actually adrenaline, along with a bunch of other hormones, actually slows down the perception of time. They all work together to put your body in overdrive mode, making everything work faster making time seem slower.

      The Mangle Sure, that can do the trick. Also, if you've ever participated in any physically demanding games/sports and then listened to a song you've heard before it will sound as if it is being "played slower". It's pretty awesome, and it lets me know I've been training in a heightened state, which is always good for working on your reflexes.

    Remember, we're not talking about ordinary human beings here, either.
    1) These are people who can get stabbed, shot multiple times, and then go hide in a bush or underwater and completely regenerate their health in two seconds.
    2) They can see shit with Eagle Vision and mark targets from far away (known as "the sense").
    3) Edward had no formal assassin training whatsoever and he killed a seasoned assassin after being shipwrecked, exhausted, and shot in the shoulder. He could also climb just as good as any assassin before or after him (that we know of) because "every finger's a fish hook".
    4) Most, if not all of them, can leap from the top of a building and land on their target, killing it, and suffer no damage whatsoever.
    After all of that, jumping from a tower and landing in a stack of palm leaves doesn't seem so far fetched (compared to everything else).

      Chad Small same with everyone else in that universe. i mean desmon has been shot in ac3 for awhile before u die during the infiltrate abstergo mission. and i feel that the fall just appears sped up in the animus cause thats how it felt for the ancestors. so the gravity could be just the same. like time and speed being illusions to the mind at times

      Actually, the Assassin's never got stabbed/shot multiple times. That's just you/Desmond or whoever is in the animus not following their ancestors properly causing them to lose synchronization(health).

    • @Evravon
      @Evravon Před 9 lety +1

      Not true. There are even scripted scenes in which the assassins are shot or stabbed. For example, the very first part of AC4 when you're chasing the assassin. He comes around a corner and says something like "follow me and I'll kill you". He then shoots you and you shrug it off in about two seconds.

    Funny vid, BUT... You adjusted the wrong variable. (NERDALERT) The buildings in AC1 are actually built in a smaller scale then their real life cousins. Actually close to a 1:2 scale. So the Gravity controlled by the engine is correct but the bulding are shorter. AC2 increased the scale closer to 1:1.5. And AC-Unity is the first game to crate buildings in a 1:1 scale. Check out their developer diery on their new engine for confirmation. :)

      I have an idea of mine, It is in an Animus and they may slow time in leaps of faith, I guess Desmond wanted to see the view from above and fall, and Tek, it is trying to watch the memories of those that existed from earlier days and the memories being watched or projected may not be accurate in time but see what they saw at their time.

      If you watch close in one of the games (either the second or the first) when jumping off a really high building everything (including people) speeds up intel you reach the hey stack. I’m pretty sure time doesn’t speed up around you when you fall. Also this is still someone’s memories anyway. TLDR: the animus speeds up everything when you fall far in one of the games or it’s just the character’s memory.

    I would like to point out the gravity of assassin's Creed is the same because he's not falling from the top of the tower, he's falling from a wooden pole attached to the side about 3-4 feet below the top of the tower. And on top of that the hay he's falling into is suspended by a wagon about 3 more feet off the ground (given the standard moving wagons wheels are 9 ft. In diameter and all wheels suspend a cart made for them about 1/3 of the wheel's diameter.

    One possible flaw: How do we know that game time vs real time has a ratio of 1:1 during the fall(s)?
    I've seen some games that sped up game-time during some scenes to prevent them from overstaying their welcome due to their non-interactivity. (EG:"30 seconds for this cut-scene? Speed it up to 20, that way it'll end before they quit out of boredom.")

      @Ethan-ho9en Před 7 lety +15

      He said he made a mistake from his cold medication. It was supposed to be 9.656 km or 9,656 m. That's nowhere near the border of the atmosphere. The atmosphere has no fixed border, it just gets thinner the higher you get until there is no difference between atmosphere and interplanetary medium - this transition happens between 800 km and 1500 km altitude. If you would jump from a still standing platform in 100,001 m altitude, you would not automatically burn up. If you jump from a platform in an extremely low 100 km orbit, you'll have the 7800 m/s velocity from the platform relative to Earth. In that case, you will with certainty burn up. From 9.656 km, the atmosphere is still stable and you could breathe normally in it. If the fall would be from 9.656, it would still have to be more than 791 - 1,491 km higher. Considering the height of the tower at which you jump, you would have less than a .1 fraction chance of burning up before hitting the ground.

  • @SteinGauslaaStrindhaug
    @SteinGauslaaStrindhaug Před 8 lety +28

    Even though I enjoy the ridiculous over thinking, it's pretty obvious that the leap of faith (LoF from now on) is an on-rails animation with a fixed duration. It also changes the field of view slightly to make it seem faster. If you manage to jump off at the same height without triggering the LoF animation, you'll notice that the falls from the large heights are significantly longer and the shorter falls are much faster. (Actually, if you somehow manage to jump off in a non LoF area and land in a hay pile without triggering the LoF animation, you'll usually die from the fall, and if it does trigger the LoF you're treated with a very jarring and unrealistic animation where you're jerked sideways and abruptly rotated into the LoF position)
    At shorter heights LoF seems to go into slow motion first and then speed up to normal speed, while at greater heights it starts at normal speed and speeds up significantly.
    I think they just used one default duration for most LoF's and a few custom durations for the largest falls, optimized not for realism but for how long the player is willing to endure an on-rails animation before getting annoyed. Probably the extra long custom durations for the largest falls was necessary both to make it more "epic" and to avoid making it a flickering blur.
    Another obvious clue that it's an on rails animation is that it follows the same curve from where you started and in the direction you were facing every time but at the end of the animation it suddenly adjusts the position by translating the position to match the target, so that you hit the target even though you should have missed it. At 3:28 see how he should have landed with his back or neck on the edge of the cart, but somehow he magically jerks forwards to land perfectly. It's probably a lot easier using the same movement curve and translating it during the fall than to calculate a curve that would actually hit the target every time.

    Why can't people just accept the fact that it's a game and it's not 100 percent logic

      +Sarah Karlsson because some people are obsessed with reality and think some games should mimic it exactly which is stupid since it is a game and not reality.

    That's assuming that the gravity on Earth suddenly increased after being the normal 1 G forever. If it had always been like that in this world, life would have evolved to handle it long ago and architects would design buildings to be able to stand under this gravity.

    • @tylerclubb9239
      @tylerclubb9239 Před 7 lety +1

      Yes. If gravity had always been like this, nothing would be changed in theory, as literally everything on earth would be suited for this amount of gravity, while if gravity suddenly changed to this increased amount of gravitational pull, then we would plainly die.

    • @anonym3967
      @anonym3967 Před 7 lety

      Not excactly, since stone would still have the same desity, so while architekts might adapt to the high gravity, buildings would have to be more stable than usually, making it highly unlikely that they would look the same.

    • @MeIguessbro
      @MeIguessbro Před 7 lety

      But that means the gravitational pull between the sun and earth would change. Also the earth would be the second slowest planet in our solar system meaning the years would be much longer. So in theory the game would be much longer. I think, I'm only 10 so I have only seen people play it and we don't do science in school often.
