Assassin's Creed 2 • Dovrai essere un assassino di nuovo

Its like 2009 is going to be 2007 all over again!
*SPOILERS*

Sooo I'm looking at the new Game Informer right now, and it tells a few thing but only has one new image, the one we already have, the 5th one.

- You'll have a ton of new weapons to choose from including an axe, a hammer, a mace, a spear, 2 different sword types, a spear axe thing, and 2 smaller blades
- You CAN swim
- Da Vincis workshop is in the game
- Locations include Saint Marks Basilica, The Grand Canal, The Little Canal, and the Rialto bridge.
- The game opens in 1476, Altair is from 1191
- So you do indeed play as a new ancestor of Altair / Desmond
-You will see the countryside of Tuscany
- The "Auditore" family is mentioned
- The main characters name is Ezio Auditore de Firenze
- He is a nobleman of Florence
- Big characters are in the game including Machiavelli, Caterina Sofrza, and Lorenzo de Medici
- YOU DO INDEED FLY AND THERES A PICTURE OF IT.
and thats just what I got from the pictures. I'll let you know more details as I read more.
- Game will feature a new notoriety system that governs how enemy soldiers and people will treat you.
- You can disarm enemies and use their own weapons against them this time.
- each weapon has a special move.
- 16 unique mission types.
- No more ease dropping or pick pocketing missions.
- If you get beat up to much you will need to see a street side doctor to regain ful strength.
- Hidden objects (like flags in the first one) are there to uncover but this time if you track them down you will get in-game bonuses that make it worth your time.
- Items include, flags, statues, and gold coins and more that isnt mentioned.
- New enemy types with unique attitudes and weaknesses are present in the game. Archers are mentioned, as well as elite enemies, dagger wielders, "Brutish" armored troops with heavy armor and 2 handed swords and axes, and an intelligent halberd enemy will probe hiding places with their weapons if they think you're near by.
- While hiding in a hay bail you can assassinate people this time, but it may expose your position.
- You can still climb towers and ride horses
- The Lorendo de Medici assassination is in the game.
- There is now a night and day sequence in the game.
- 240 people are working on this title.

I still need to beat the first one. It got pretty repetitive, so I gave up for awhile. It sounds like now is a time to go back and finish it up.

Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite games this generation. It's pretty neat to play through the game with no HUD.

The first one got really repetitive so I had to take a break mid way through the game; still enjoyed it though. Hopefully the sequel will have a little more variety.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2 • You'll want to be an Assassin again

Im near the end of part one and I LOVE this game. Its the first time Ive felt inside a virtual world. Ive been playing the game forever and take my time with NO hud and NO fast forwarding memories. I dont feel its repetitive but the onlt thing Im tired of is walking around and fucking Guards getting pissed at me for nothing, next thing Ive got 12 guys on my ass.

So yea, I cant wait for AC2!

Flying? That sounds lame. I thought a big draw to the first game was wall climbing, jumping and general acrobatics.

You probably fly on one of Davinci's contraptions. I doubt we'll get Superman flight abilities.

I like where they're going with this one. The first game was fun at first but got extremely boring and repetitive all too quickly. Hopefully they'll downplay the future scenes as well and make the cutscenes skipable.

It's more like gliding. I guess you could go up on top of a castle or hill and use it to glide right into the middle of a town.

Like others said, got to finish the first one but despite a few flaws really a nice game.

Now for those who like this they may want to take a close look at Codemasters upcoming Damnation. It's got a feel of AC to it as far as movement but with a shooter in mind. Seen some of the video and it's not bad at all. It'll be interesing as to what they do with AC this time around.

That's cool. So it wont be using a flying contraption and more like the leap of faith from the first game?

And does the magazine mention if the new character will also use parkour to travel through the cities? That's pretty much the only thing that kept me from totally giving up on the first game.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2 • You'll want to be an Assassin again

I'm hoping they scale back the size/amount of the cities so they can concentrate on adding more detail to make every part of the city feel distinct and unique. The first games cities felt repetitious and lifeless, and that just added to the monotony of the missions.

They already have a great foundation from the first game.

As long as you use protection.

I absolutely loved the first game, so this is going to be a no-brainer for me.

That's so awesome. I'm glad the character looks the same but a new setting with new moves.

Sorry, but I loved the design of the cities in the first one. They seemed 'accurate' to me. I know it's only a movie, but AC1 had an Excalibur (movie) feel to the cities, which I felt was believable.

I think it's interesting (and cool) that they switched from the blue-gray to a more true (green-ish/gold-ish) hue to the game. That alone will make it feel different.

Good looking stuff. It'll be interesting on what new moves will look like and do. Nice touch with "water" this time and probably couldn't have picked a better city either.

Somehow I lost my copy of the first one, it should be pretty cheap used at Gamestop by now.
