Assassin's Creed II

quote:

Assassin's Creed II is a sandbox-style action-adventure video game being developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is set to release worldwide before March 2010 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Windows platforms. The game is a sequel to the 2007 critically acclaimed video game, Assassin's Creed.

Plot
While not much is known of the plot yet, it has been confirmed that the player will assume the role of an assassin and nobleman named Ezio Audtiore de Firenze. Ezio is an ancestor to Desmond and a descendant of Altaïr, the protagonists from Assassin's Creed. He is shown to have dual assassin's blades and a colorful attire, to fit the era. The game is set to take place in renaissance Italy, during the 15th century Italian carnival.

Gameplay
It has been revealed by Joystiq that Assassin's Creed II will allow the player to swim and access Leonardo DaVinci's flying machine, though how this works and affects the game is unknown at this point. It has also been announced that there will be many more mission types for the player to engage in, which was a widespread complaint of the original Assassin's Creed. In the recent Game Informer article it was confirmed Venice, Florence, The Grand Canal, The Little Canal, and the Rialto Bridge will appear in the game.

Development
On January 22 2009, it was confirmed by Ubisoft that Assassin's Creed II was in production, but no details were revealed. A promotional video was released by Ubisoft on April 6 showing a map of italy, some hidden blade designs, and DaVinci's flying machine on a scroll. On the official site after the teaser is viewed a symbol is given to print and show in front of a webcam. Doing this will unlock a picture displayed on the site. 4 of the 5 symbols have been given by Ubisoft, and the other was found by a fan. Later, on April 10, Game Informer Magazine released details on the game, as well as pictures of Ezio.

Elke scheet die over Assassin's Creed 2 naar boven komt is natuurlijk groot nieuws. Vandaag kwam er echter iets veel beters dan een scheet opborrelen: 25 keiharde feiten over de game!

We zagen eerder deze week al een vage teaser trailer langskomen, die feitelijk niets meer deed dan roddel en achterklap over de game in de hand werken. Nu is er dus echter een lijst met keiharde info gelekt uit het blad Game Informer, waarop meer dan 25 feiten over Assassin’s Creed 2 te vinden zijn. De meeste zijn extreem goed nieuws (veel meer afwisseling in missies, je kan zwemmen!) en sommige zijn zelfs aardig verrassend (vliegen in Da Vinci’s vliegmachine)! Hieronder staan ze allemaal:

- You'll have a ton of new weapons to choose from including an axe, a hammer, a mace, a spear, 2 different sword types, a spear axe, and 2 smaller blades.
- You CAN swim.
- Da Vinci's workshop is in the game.
- Locations include Saint Mark's Basilica, The Grand Canal, The Little Canal, and the Rialto Bridge.
- The game opens in 1476, Altaïr is from 1191.
- So you do indeed play as a new ancestor of Altaïr/Desmond.
- You will see the countryside of Tuscany.

- If you get beat up to much you will need to see a street side doctor to regain full strength.
- Hidden objects (like flags in the first one) are there to uncover, but this time if you track them down you will get in-game bonuses that make it worth your time.
- Items include, flags, statues, and gold coins and more that isnt mentioned.
- New enemy types with unique attitudes and weaknesses are present in the game. Archers are mentioned, as well as elite enemies, dagger wielders, "Brutish" armored troops with heavy armor and 2 handed swords and axes, and an intelligent halberd enemy will probe hiding places with their weapons if they think you're near by.
