Assassins Creed 2

[Mr. Vice]

Why? This game is basically Assassin's Creed 2: Episode II. Not a full fledged sequel.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

This is more AC2.5 than AC3.

I think Ezio can still do a lot. We saw in AC2 that Altair did a lot post-AC1. It'll be cool to see Ezio do things that will be referenced in a full fledged sequel. I also liked the character. He wasn't a *****e like Altair and he's not voiced by Nolan North like every other male protagonist in video games.

Nolan North is Nathan Drake, which alone makes him the best voice actor of all time.


But yea, dudes in everything

 

[Sebastos]

I look forward to playing Ezio again.

You must not have watched a lot of cartoons growing up if you say that.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Nolan North can do different accents and voices and such, the problem is he keeps getting hired to basically do Nolan North.

 

[Sebastos]

I really wish I could get Uncharted 2.

He also plays subject 13 (or whatever number it was ) ....Desmond connection much?

i've noticed this game doesn't have near as good of graphics as the first game. i figured i should finally finish the first one before playing this since i eventually stopped doing the missions and would just run around fighting guards, so when i did finish and went to the new game, i noticed a real drop in graphics. is there a reason why? are the environments a lot bigger or something? although the graphics in the first game during the parts set in the present werent near as good as in the animus. in this one the graphics in and out of the animus are the same, but not that great looking

Yeah he can. And I wish he could do another one for Assassin's Creed because everytime I see Desmond, I think Nathan Drake.

True. But unless he can do a Batman or Joker that surpass Conroy and Hamill, he'll only be competing for 3rd place.

 

[Storm22]

I'm confused. I've just played the DLC and it ended weirdly. It said sequence 12 comleted but where's my flying machine??

Edit: never mind

So...is the new DLC up, yet? I've checked PSN and I guess it hasn't been updated yet.

And as a heads up, I've heard the new DLC 'Bonfire' comes with two versions to purchase. One with the Bonfire DLC, and another that comes with Bondfire and the DLC maps that came with the BLACK EDITION.

[LightningFlash]

I wish we had more content for the first AC game. I think we could've done a lot more with Altair than what we got from the first game.

Nope, no release date on the Bonfires DLC.

[Spidey-Bat]

Really? Kotaku failed me.

While the next Assassin's Creed has been described as the series' first installment with multiplayer, Desilets and May said that the game, featuring ACII hero Ezio's return to Rome, will have a full single-player campaign. Desilets also said — "You know us" — that the game's multiplayer will have a "narrative justification."

The game is being developed at Ubisoft Montreal. May added, with joking helpfulness: "It won't be boring."

The game is expected to come out by the end of March 2011.

Questioned how there could be another full Assassin's Creed just a year after the previous game, Desilets said that it took a year to get the technology fully in place for the last one and is confident that that makes it easier to turn this next game around more swiftly.

Well, using the same character and probably some of the same locations makes it easier to create the game. The basic framework is already there.

 

[Sebastos]

I'm in my 5th playthrough for the game, last two I just played the game without doing any of the side stuff and I have to say I enjoy the game with every replay. I deleted my previous file where I got everything and started over, I'm going to reach 1,000,000 florins by tomorrow.

 

[Sebastos]

So Bonfire is out?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

So Bonfire is out?

Sure is.

Are the levels that came with the Black edition worth the 5 dollars?

 

[Fading]

I was debating that yesterday (to get the $5 or $10 version). Went ahead and got the $10 one. Haven't got to the bonfire of the vaities sequence yet, but as to the black edition content being worth it...depends. It's three extra areas. They play out very similar to the assassin crypts. The reward has only been $4,000 per crypt so far (I've only played 2). However they don't entirely feel like copy and pastes as one level was inside a dock where a ship was being built and had a short cut scene and chase.

Plus I read up first and someone was saying to get a 100% completed memory sequence you need to beat them. So it's worth it if you want to 100% complete it, and want 3 more assassin crypt like missions.

Then again I have $16 in my wallet and was choosing inbetween the $5 version and Trine, or the $10 version and have $6 left over for something else. So not entirely sure if it was worth it to me yet, lol. Tho I did enjoy the two crypts I played so far.
