Trailers: What’s an assassin without his arsenal?


But more importantly, what’s up with showing all of three weapons? I know the game has more, so why not show them? Somebody in Ubisoft’s PR department needs to get chewed out.

Trailers: There’s a lot of stabbing in Assassin’s Creed II


I mean really, that’s an exceptional amount of stabbing to fit into one two minute trailer. But hey, I guess Ezio has reason to be pissed with that whole watching his father get hanged thing going on.

If you can understand what that guy is saying, I’m sure there’s some good information about the game in there.

Trailers: Assassin’s Creed II devs talk about mission variety and story


I’m not entirely sure what to make of this interview so far. Part of me is totally psyched about the dynamic mission design where players must make split-second decisions that could radically change a mission’s flow, but another part is worried about the fact that Ubisoft seems to count these decisions in all the new mission types they allegedly have. I certainly wouldn’t consider chasing down a thief in the middle of an assassination mission to be the deep variety that was sorely lacking in the first Assassin’s Creed. I’m also a bit confused as to whether these branching missions are truly dynamic and organic or if they’re just scripted.

Trailers: New Assassin’s Creed II developer diary

Here’s a nice, extended look at some Assassin’s Creed II gameplay that gives us a taste of what’s to come. While it does look fun and all, I’m really starting to grow weary of all those alleged new missions types that seem to be missing in action. I didn’t see any new gameplay elements or mechanics there besides maybe puzzle/platforming, which isn’t exactly the innovation I’m looking for. Sure, there’s lots of shiny new gadgets, but where is the fresh gameplay? I’m of the crowd that absolutely loved the first Assassin’s Creed, but if they don’t spice up the gameplay in the sequel, then it’s just a damn shame.

Trailers: Assassin’s Creed gets all funky with its bad self

One the one hand, I love the idea of video game trailers set to licensed music. On the other hand, nothing’s ever topped the original Gears of War “Mad World” trailer and that came out some time ago. But hey, at least Ezio looks all sorts of bad ass in this trailer. The fight on the chariot thing looked really cool to me. Ubisoft has said they’re going to liven up the country-side segments of gameplay. Also, as a side note, the artists who did the song go by the name “Justice”. Coincidence? Or will Ezio be serving up some cold justice to his his noble friends come November?
