Ubisoft sent us tonight this new video of Assassin's Creed 2 showing some of the weapons that Eizo will be able to use for his assassinations. Weapons of course coming from his pal Leonardo da Vinci.

If this game gets really good reviews I'll check it out, but like many, I just don't have much hope in them being able to turn this series around that much from the first game.
Visually it's stunning, almost on par with uncharted 2. But graphics don't make a game good, after two hours of Crysis i stopped paying attention to the graphics and started getting bored with the gameplay.
Hope this doesn't fall under the same category.
Over the last couple of months, Ubisoft has shown off an amazing array of new being added to the sequel that addresses every issue with the original and then some. Yet no matter how much of all this new that Ubisoft shows off, they still cannot convince a cynical, internet gaming community that AC2 is any better than it's predecessor . . . despite it clearly addressing every issue of the original.
Show off too much? The only way some people are going to be convinced that AC2 is x10 the game that was AC is . . . wait a minute. This is the internet. There is no convincing the internet the world is round once the internet has gotten it into it's head that the world is flat.
Fortunately, there is a lot more more going into AC2, than just more weapons. AC2 represents and order of magnitude more variety going into it than AC1.
freeswag is right when he says ubi have created a game that is x10 the game AC was, but sadly they have completely ignored the thing that needed the most fixing...the gameplay. no matter how much "stuff" you add to an average game, it will still remain average.
so yes, the game has more weapons, but the combat remains relatively unchanged i.e piss easy and shallow,
yes, the game has additional content in it's underground playgrounds, but the gamplay remains the same, ie, boring and repetative.
yes, the game has new, larger cities and locations to explore, but they are still "copy/paste" cites that are dead and uninteresting to explore.
it's one thing to add more content, it's another to make a better game. and i'm simply not sold on the possibility ubisoft may have achieved the latter. becasue from what they've shown thus far, it's just more content without adressing the fundamental flaws. they're esentially polishing a turd the way they're going about it so far.
