Quantcast



Okay, we get it -- Assassin's Creed II has a lot of cool weapons. Ezio's arsenal is massive compared to that of Assassin Creed's Altair.

 
But where does he get all of those wonderful toys? Leonardo DiVinci, apparently, who designs some killer (no pun intended) tools of assasination for Ezio in the sequel. The new trailer shows off the hidden blade, poison blade, the hidden gun, and -- wait for it -- the double hidden blade. That's just like the hidden blade it except there are two of them; that's what they mean by "double."
 
The game looks surprisingly good in this trailer, which gives me hope that the PlayStation 3 demo I played at Tokyo Game Show was an older build. The game both looked and played rough, which was disappointing, because I have high hopes. From what I understand from people who've seen more of the game than I have, it's been polished up a bit, which makes me happy -- I'm still looking forward to its November 17 release.

"...that's what they mean by 'double.'"

Does that mean Ezio is missing 2 fingers instead of just one?

I think that ritual died as canon when Jade left the team. I haven't seen any confirmation that an Assassin needs to lose his fingers.

Actually I just googled it - the presumably correct reason is written here around comment 5.

I keep hearing about the weapons, more weapons and additional weapons. Plus the PSP/3 exclusive weapons. But I really don't care. I almost exclusively used the hidden blade in AC1, with the sword for bigger fights. So I only care about the hidden blade, dual hidden blade and maybe a sword or two. I won't be using anything else anyway. Well, except the gun, but that goes without saying.

They couldn't get any new voice actors? The guy who plays Leo is the same one who plays the Damascus bureau leader in the first game.

What is the purpose of a poison blade? You're already lethally stabbing the dude, what need have we of toxins?

I hope the wilhelm scream is just for the trailer, I don't need no funny business in my game! (kidding)

the portrayal of Leonardo as a shallow renaissance themed Q offends me as a gamer and one who enjoys the arts.
