    that looks like a vast improvement but the fighting engine still looks clunky and slow. i hope the missions arent so repetitive still as well.

    I really enjoyed the first one but like people have said it does get a boring mission wise it's the same thing but the fighting loads of guards at once is great lol...................... I agree with NDAGO that they need to put the gun weapon in this game, it was very annoying that you didnt even get the crossbow even tho the beginning video showed it off, so if they do it again i won't be happy.......... I mean yeah it might take longer to reload after ever shot but so what, I mean a normal person won't be using it for loads of enemies coming at ya at once lol, just use it to take out one enemy so you have one less to deal with, then when your done killing the rest reload it lol

    Eh? Those guards looked like they were high or something. Way too slow and no evident concern about being killed.

    This sequels is good, but watching the trailer, the game has a big problem, the AI is too much slow and silly, WTF is that fight in the trailer?

    i just hope that the missions aren't the same thing over and over again like the first one, they were fun for the first few but my god give me something new! and what was with the scene where he shoots the guy with an arrow in the beginning of the first game? you don't even get to do that! complete false advertisement, sure it looks cool but it's annoying to show off what you don't let people do it.

    so i hope this one will be better (not that the first was BAD it just had some annoying parts and got dull), but just like the first one they show a scene where he uses a gun....... i'm sorry but if you dont get to use it in this then all it does is piss people off.

    New features like the smoke, enemy weapons, and swimming is going to make this game so much easier, STUNNING GRAPHICS.

    I just loved the first game - except for the modern-day Desmond bits which were unbelievably boring. Did anyone actually care at all about the whole Animus thing? Just give us the missions, please!

    Wow that is so cool, i can not wait to buy this game.It is great to see medieval European knights plus Ezio countering and killing them with their own weapons plus swimming is cool too.

    I'm confused because this looks like exactly the same gameplay as the last game. Hiding in the hay carts, fight 3 guys but only one of them attacks at any one time, kill some dude and go into a weird personal moment while he does the death rattle, then run away from loads of guards. The only new elements from this trailer I could see were the powder bomb to blind the guards and the fact that you can swim.

    I guess it's early days and they could well come up with something really interesting in the finished game, but this looks like more of the same repetitive stuff we endured in the first game.

    This game looks great cant wait to get it and see what cool things desmond can do with the eagle vision he got at the end of the last game

  • skywalkerforce

    I can't wait to play this, it looks like Desmond is still in the Animus from how the game took place in the video, I'm so excited for this game!!!

  • Precaseptica

    What's up with the bad after-effects? Look at what happens to the first weapon after the body drops and lays still. And when he impales the last guard, all that happens is that the spear goes through him, with no visual on either the spear or the new hole he must have in his stomach.

    I sincerely hope that this is just demo-bugs. Because the final release should not contain obvious flaws like this in an otherwise solid graphic game.

    Because lets face it - AC and AC2 gets sold on how brilliant the game looks and feels. And obvious mistakes like these do not belong in such a well-defined game.

  • matteocurmi

    Posted Jun 7, 2009 12:51 am PT

    This looks like its gonna be great , but the way the guards just stare at you while doing a fnishing move is unrealistic .

    And i also hope THIS time we dont see the same person twice .... right near each other .

  • jimbob_1977

    @joeleos

    yeah, it'll be on 360. as well as ps3, wii, ds, dsi, pc, gameboy, snes, sega megadrive, dreamcast, atari, etcher-sketch - this is a ubisoft money spinning cash cow, like they aren't gonna EA the hell out of this and put on every gaming system known to man.

    Looks good on the ps3 anyway, have to wait for demo's on all the rest though lol

    It looks amazing, and Im sure there are still aspects that are still in development, I mean, there was no stab wound, I hope they fix that. Anyway, seems awesome right now.
