Assassin's Creed 2 (Trailer)

So I herd u leik E3 videoes? (Note, if you're willing to wait a few extra minutes for it to load, the video in HD is a sexbomb)

Saw this a few days ago and thought it was pretty awesome. Wanted to put it up for discussion/enlightenment for all those drooling AC fanboys who haven't seen it yet.

Scribblenauts is way better.

[Skofo]

for all those drooling AC fangirls

Fixed.

As for the trailer: wow. CGI is becoming better and better every year. I wonder if the gameplay will live up to it, though. I didn't appreciate the gameplay in the first one much; it was too repetitive for me. Hope this one doesn't disappoint.

I also wonder if there will be that silly splash screen mentioning that the game was developed by people with various religions and cultures...

Ahh, here's a trailer.

Some nice twists! Can't tell if it'd get repetitive because of how short this was, but I do hope that this is just the tip of the iceberg as the commentator said.

From what I've heard and read in reviews, it is. AI is much better now, there are more than four types of enemies (Before you had the Soldier, Officer, Archer, and Templar), more than four usable weapons, you can swim now, the base structure for missions has been increased from 4 to 15; like, before, you had eavesdrop, pickpocket, interrogate, and the Assassin's challenges; these were all pretty much the same. Now out of the more than 200 missions, there are 15 main types, and they all vary, like their own missions instead of just "Go here, kill that, listen to that, steal that." In-game animation doesn't match the trailer's, but I remember with the first AC, my jaw literally dropped when I first opened up the game on PS3. I'm guessing, looking at the choppy YouTube footage, that the graphics are even better.

As for the fangirls part, I can't believe how many comments there are on that video talking about how hot Ezio is '-.-

I agree with Skofo, CGI is getting close to perfectly realistic. I say give it a decade, and you won't be able to tell between the two.

[Zhukov]

The corny. It scorches my soul.

Please don't tell me they're going to try to serve up yet another protagonist with daddy issues.

Oh well, at least the chunky guy got to dance with a pretty lady before being stabbed to death. Even if she was being paid.

[Ragdollmaster]

Heh, deadly prostitute.

Also, I don't think he's emotionally comprised / has issues because of his father's death. Ezio probably stopped walking towards the target because he could tell that he's setting up some kind of trap- why would he face him openly like that and pretend to be brave after running like a sissy for a few blocks and leaving his men to die at Ezio's hands?
