Yeah, I still haven't finished the first game. This one looks pretty awesome.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

amazing beautiful game.... my jaw dropped at the flying scene....

open huge world (no corridor action here), full day and night lighting cycle (not static baked on like other games)

That video was....AWESOME. Can't wait!

There are seriously WAY too many great games coming out this fall.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I enjoyed the first one and it sounds like they have really improved upon things in this one. Cant wait.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

The only thing I had problems with in the first one was the repetitive information gathering missions and some of Altair's movements were jagged; other than those two things, the game was great.

I thought it was too repetitive in general for my taste. I was pretty awestruck with the game at first, but that died pretty quickly. Hopefully this game solves some of the repetition issues, because it certainly looks like it could be great, just like the first one could've been in my opinion.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I got really far, almost to the end of Assassin's Creed but never finished it. Can someone put in spoiler tags what happens at the end so I have an idea about the sequel? Thanks

Spoiler

Basically the guy you've been taking orders from, your master (Al-Mualim) is a member of the the Assassins rival organization(or w/e you want to call it) the Knights Templar. You find out that he sent you out to kill the 9 leaders not for better world, but so that he can keep the Piece of Eden for himself. After you kill him you the POE activates and shows a map of the world and the location of the other treasures. You're then taken back to the lab where they say they're going to send teams to those locations to retrieve them. Lucy and the Doctor leave the room and Desmond realizes that Altairs thoughts have "leaked" over into his own. Because of this, when you use Eagle Vision in the lab he's able to see all sorts of messages and symbolic figures on the floors and walls that possibly foretell events in the future..

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I was already sold on the game, but now they added day/night cycles makes this even more awesome. (and better accuracy on death from above kills)

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

If they sort out the repetition and give us more freedom in how we can approach assassinations (not funnel us into fights via cutscenes) then I am sold. Hook, line and sinker.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

Sweet pic. I hope the soldiers still say stuff that makes me crack up. For some reason I thought the things that they'd say when they'd find a dead person in the street and I was hiding nearby were hilarious, especially in Acre. I know it'll be the Italian Renaissance this time. Just hoping for some unintentional comedy.
