Nov 17, 2009

It’s no secret we loved the first Assassin’s Creed – maybe even a little too much. Climbing up impossibly tall structures and stealthily murdering Templar knights during the sharply realized Crusades was so much fun, we accepted certain flaws – like the repetitive side-tasks you had to undertake before each assassination mission could be unlocked, or the way the game sent you back to your home fortress after each successful takedown – as minor irritations. ...

The first Assassin’s Creed was an incredible sensory experience. So you’ll be glad to know the slack-jawed awe that comes with staring at massive cityscapes from a lofty tower is back with a vengeance. Better yet, from our hands-on with the upcoming Tokyo Game Show demo, it’s clear Ubisoft Montreal has really been working on the assassinations. ... » Read Full Assassin's Creed II preview

original comment: BlindGuardian412: just an error i noticed (maybe), but i thought it was Altair's ring finger that was cut off
This isn't altair, this is Ezio Auditore de blablabla; his name is a mouthful.

Please let there be an online game where you a couple people chase a guy trying to kill him before he reaches the destination. There could be lots of rounds so everyone gets a chance to be the runner. Hey GR guys, mention that to the Developers if you get a chance.

I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THIS GAME! I know that some people believe that it was a bad game with horrible missions and others thought it was too violent and ruined our minds by making us only think of commiting murder, but IT WAS SET IN THE FREAKING CRUSADES, WHERE IT WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL TO KILL ALL THE MEN, IMPREGNATE ALL THE WOMEN, AND BURN ALL THE BUILDINGS DOWN DURING A BATTLE! HISTORY WAS VIOLENT, SO FOR A GAME TO TRULY EDUCATIONAL ABOUT THAT TIME, IT CAN'T HOLD BACK! (yes, it was educational. I know because a friend of mine who is a history teacher, after I told my friend about what happened in the game and where it happened, said that the game absolutely accurately described the Crusades, what with Muslim leaders, Christian templars, destroyed cities (yes, the city names in game were exactly the same as 3 major city names of the time during the war), plus no modern weapons of any kind, only swords, knives, and arrows) Also, soon after I beat the game (with the Conversationalist achievement), I went online to figure out how to get the achievement for staring at the bed wall with eagle vision (finally found out that all I needed to do was watch the credits finish rolling), but that was when I first found out the Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed were both trilogies, although I admit the longer they don't have any news come out and the longer they work on it, the better the game will probably be because they will be focused solely on the game for the longest possible time, giving it the best detail they can.

Did anyone else ever have trouble hiding because you were out of their line of sight until right before you were inside the hiding spot, which caused you to pop out the other side, sometimes right into the enemy?
