Not much to really see other than the strong suggestion of a renaissance setting.

that web cam thing is cool

Am I the only one who hated the first one?

Yes it looked amazing but jesus, it was just monotonous. Go find this guy. Go kill that guy. Run! They're after you! It's ok, you've reached this room, they're not after you anymore.

if it is the renaissance era, maybe they'll take a few leaves out of the thief series and bring some elements over to spice up the repetitive nature of the original.

1476 it seems.

Nope.

I hated it as well. Thought it was hyped up poop.

ps. It seems similar to another Ubisoft game, Prince of Persia (ps3/360). Go to area, find way to bad guy, kill bad guy, collect orbs and repeat.

The first game did look stunning but got boring fast. Although i think this will be promising. If they iron out the problems the first game had it could be a great game.

Assasins Creed 1 had a great framework there for an epic game.

Climbing was done very well.

Sword fighting pretty much worked ok.

Guards, while retarded in a lot of ways, had nice little touches like chucking rocks at you while you were climbing a building, or hamstringing your horse while you were on horse back trying to ride over a big group of them.

You could fight from horse back properly unlike some games such as two worlds.... AC did a Great job on the horse back sections to be fair. All I missed really was a very long "fcuk off and die, yes I am compensating for something" spear to run people through with.

Cities were pretty to look at and a lot of work went into them.

Shame will all the obvious effort and craft they actually forgot to make the "game" part fun or interesting or varied. I managed to drag myself and finish AC1 but I barely managed....

They def should steal wholesale without shame from the Thief series and adapt the good parts to suit.

We’ve got an inside scoop on Ubisoft’s upcoming title, Assassin’s Creed II, and it looks like the team in Montreal really went all out this time around. As you may know, the main character in this installment is Ezio Auditore di Firenze. He’s a much better swimmer than Altair ever was, and apparently more of a “ladies man”. We’ll let you speculate on the gameplay possibilities there.
What the developers really wanted with this game though is to give the player a greater sense of freedom than before, as well as increase the number of missions you can take part in. Repetitiveness was a big complaint with the first Assassin’s Creed, so hopefully that problem has been eliminated in the sequel.
The swimming mechanics have dual usage, as Ezio can hide himself underwater, or hide his victims in water cases. Diving is also possible, and definitely implies some hairy situations that Ezio will have to get out of. Though there are weapons at your disposal, Ezio can also use his fists to fend off enemies with both offensive and defensive moves.
The last interesting tidbit is that Ezio’s attire comes from the noble families of Italy, so he may have a much bigger agenda than what the developers are letting on. For more updates on this exciting new game, from PlayStation Lifestyle!
