Epic Assassin's Creed 2 trailer is epic

But, if he's walking around with a halberd that's six feet long...

Whatever. It's rumoured that the gun could be replaced with a miniature crossbow, for shorter range but greater accuracy.


I think you can also buy shot for your gun, for greater damage, but much less accuracy and stealth. I'm guessing it would be more of a disraction than a practical weapon.

Because I can.

Whatever. I didn't even know it was on the PS3. I take it the Wii version was cancelled? I wonder if blood can be disabled, like in the original...

There was never a Wii Version. That whole misunderstanding was exactly just a misunderstanding when they mentioned "all next generation consoles"
.

Wikipedia, and therefore IGN, stated it was going to have a Wii version and Iphone version. Allegedly, the Iphone version was to be a finished port of the unfinished sequel to that Assassin's Creed DS game.

Compared to some of the other people in the game, he's invisible.

There is no Assassin's Creed II for the Wii Valhelm. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I enjoyed the first one. Yes, it was repetitive, but it was still good enough to break out every so often and play the ♥♥♥♥ out of it.

This one looks even better. It looks like you're going to get to do more than just the typical things which is great. I never liked in the first one how everything is just typical run of the mill assassin stuff. WALK SLOWLY. SIT IN CHAIR. HIDE IN HAY.

Now I can feel more like a ninja assassin.

There never was going to be a Wii version, and why would this game be a 360 exclusive if the first game was a multiplatform title?

You mean because it's a superior console. Besides, ports aren't usually god awful on the PS3, seeing as they're practically rebuilt from the ground up. Great for gamers, but a nightmare for coders.

I hate when next-gen games are ported to the Wii. It's never the same game. It always ends up like The Force Unleashed. I don't understand why they felt it necessary to port that game to Wii and PS2. The entire point was to show off the Havoc-Endorphine combo.

It goes without saying that they dumbed down the graphics. But the level design and combat system were completely different. They were literally two different games. You couldn't do any of the badass ♥♥♥♥ like throwing Tie-Fighters. For Christ's sake, the characters' mouths didn't move when they spoke! If AC2 were ported to Wii, it would end up exactly like that, with lame motion controls tacked on because--let's face it--that's all the console's got going for it.

I just can't stop worshiping that pre-rendered trailer. It's so awesome...

That's not a very good attitude. They're just trying to sell you the game, without showing any actual gameplay.

I thought we moved beyond pre-rendered cutscenes when MGS4, of all things, stopped using them.

Pre-rendered cut-scenes are moot on the PS3, and virtually moot on the 360. When you can make gameplay look like a pre-rendered cut-scene just by adding unique animations, what's the point? XP Then again, I can see it being done exceptionally well.

You know, I'm still waiting for dynamic clothing. Capes fluttering in the breeze, okay. But I want to see clothing dynamically wrinkle when a character, say, bends his arm. There's no reason it can't be done. I just hope whoever does it first doesn't patent it. That sort of thing isn't easy to program, and I'd like to see it often.

I just like it because the face graphics are, in my opinion, the best I've ever seen. Every other CG movie tries to make its characters cartoonish, not realistic.

Cool, look at the movie

Its supposed to be Ezio's father. Really funny, but looks kind of great.

Awww... Whenever I try to watch age-specific videos, It doesn't work. I put in a birthay and submit, but nothing happens...

Are you putting in your birth date?

Try the Youtube version if its not working.

No, no, I put a fake birthdate over eighteen, but when I press 'submit', nothing happens.
