Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Rome locations - Game vs Real Life

For our 6th year anniversary, my wife Rowena and me went to Rome. Here we made this video where we go through a lot of locations that are also in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. In this video a comparison between the locations in Assassins Creed Brotherhood (Anno 1500-1507) and the real city of Rome (Anno 2022). It was an amazing journey to make this video.

I went to Rome a few years ago. Gave me the AC brotherhood vibes. Actually met a Italian guy funny enough called ezio 😂

[@ProximusGaming]

That is awesome!!!

[@aayushkrishnaik7479]

Damn🤩

[@ProximusGaming]

@aayushkrishnaik7479 damn?

[@luca_magna7753]

Played the Ezio Collection for the first time a year ago. Beats many other AC games overall imo. Feels really good to see all the iconic locations from the game irl.

[@ProximusGaming]

Ezio collection are 3 amazing games with a very good storyline! It was amazing seeing these locations in real life and really wanted to share it with everyone!

[@atlasprime6193]

Me, watching the video: “Okay, let’s see, I can climb there…climb there…this way…that way…”

[@ProximusGaming]

Hahaha, well that would be an awesome video if I would actually do that. But I get what you mean. Places to climb for Ezio. Hope you liked the video.

[@warriorgirl2307]

During the whole video i was like " Climbed that, jumped off that, view point there, kicked ass there " 😂😂" It was brilliant ❤

[@ProximusGaming]

I like that. I did not had that when visiting these places. Maybe because it was way too hot, I was ill and just enjoyed the scenery.

[@niketesambrosiosdelagrece2266]

2:52 I love that guitar. And in general the music from AC II, Brotherhood and Revelations is the best (of course not only the music). Ezio's family or "The Brotherhood Escapes".

I love that too! Music is amazing!!!

This is why we love games. AC always 1to1 w history. But Ezio AC2- with Italy and Rome. Did it best AC 4 did amazing w Nassau too.

[@rising_tide1063]

i visited rome in feb 2023 and honestly felt good when i covered places like vatican museum and castel sant angelo interiors. tiber island and spanish steps were in ac brotherhood too.

What's funny is that there's the saying; "Rome wasn't built in a day" & with brotherhood's development, in a way it kind of was. lol

[@ProximusGaming]

That is indeed funny. Of course brotherhood was not created in a day as well, but it took much lesser time to finish rome in game than in real life.

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

Literally replayed whole Ezio collection on PC a week ago. And man, it is nice to see that the game counterpart of Rome is not that far from the reality. All tho I would wish that devs put more details in to it from the real life.

[@ProximusGaming]

That indeed would be great. But for the time they made brotherbood in. It was really good I suppose

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

@@ProximusGaming Well, maybe. All tho I will have to say that, the Rome that we can see in Assassin's Creed 2 in the final sequence in comparison to what they did in Brotherhood looks a lot bigger and detailed. Sure, most of it was just a decoration but still, I would prefer a lot more detailed version of it than what we got.

@@JJJJ-lk8wj Altair his backstory as told in the book “The Secret Crusade” by Oliver Bowden is great. Just too bad they rushed it too much in the game. Altair is a very good and strong assassin.

[@paolopesare3566]

​@@ProximusGaming because renovating archeological treasures is a crime. Renovating the Colosseum makes no sense, because you're going to ruin something that should be studied and appreciated for what it is. Even the ruined parts have history. To keep things as they are it's not abandoning them, it's to preserve and protect them. In fact, some of these locations are still utilized for artistic events. It's complicated to explain (english is not my main language and the matter Is not simple) but, being graduated in archaeology, I had to reply. Our role is to preserve and understand what we have, not trying to fix it to make it look good.

I went to Rome for real and then went to find all these locations in the game. It's pretty good for the most part but you know it's not all correct. Temple of Ceasar, temple of Romulus, temple of Vespa? Roman senate remnants the size of a bus, come on now. Inside of colloseum is not correct. Arches are too close to one another and in contrast to the other two arches, on the arch of Titus they didn't put any imagery because it's full of jewish symbols commemorating the victory over the jewish rebellion in Judea, weak move. That Trevifountain isn't there makes sense but the temple of Hadrian?? Still it was very cool to see all the rest in real life versus the game, the mistakes just bother me, the perfectionist as i am.
