Quantcast



I'm here at E3 today trying to help out the rest of the crew relay back to you, the readers, the total influx of news, videos and images coming down the pipe. The stories are being divvied out without question, so essentially, here I am with an Assassin's Creed II trailer from E3, which depicts scenes from the upcoming sequel to a game I've actually never played. On top of that,the Internet connection here is such crap that I can't load more than the first five seconds of the video, making it pretty hard for me to give you my impressions.

While is seems like I'm in a bit of a pickle here, I'm not gonna try to lie my way out of this; instead, let us know what you think of what you see here. Heck, tell me if it's good! I'm actually really curious now.

Looks good, but it's a CG trailer so it would be stupid for it do look any other way. I bought AC and, while I liked it, I ultimately could have gone without due to repetition, frame rate issues, repetition, bugs, and repetition. This is definitely a situation where I'll wait for reviews.

The trailer looks really good, at first I thought it was live action. The end part where Ezio uses what appears to be a gun felt a bit weird though. Guns may be consistent with the time period but using them just doesn't feel like what an Assassin in those days would do. Either way I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun, especially since we get to use DaVinci's flying contraption.

When are people going to realize people don't really give a shit about pre-rendered trailers? CGI Cutscenes went out of style with the PS2. The fact that I waited for who knows how many hours of Ubisoft's abominable press conference for a pre-rendered movie (badass, sure, but not in-game) really fries my bacon.
I'm hoping we'll see some gameplay before the expo is over.

I believe this trailer was described in-detail about a month ago in a leak. The hidden gun can really add a twist to the plot assassinations, but the first game was really just lacking variety in methods of approach.

Definitely excited for this game though. There seems to be plenty of improvement!

I'm sure they are improving upon the first. This should be good.

@Shadowiii Because people DO give a shit about pre-rendered trailers, whether you like it or not.

And this shit is absolutely fucking gorgeous. My god. . . DO WANT.

I very much enjoyed the first game. It was what got me off the Wii and onto the 360. Since then my Wii has been collecting dust. It's a shame because I really enjoyed it.

That was pretty awesome. CG or not. Thing is, I'm still apprehensive because of AC 1, so we'll just see...

Just best CG trailers aren't your thing doesn't mean the whole of the gaming community agrees with you. I for one enjoy both CG teaser trailers like this and gameplay trailers. There is room for both.

I really enjoyed this trailer. The music was really well done. I like the concept of the hidden gun too. That should be a fun game mechanic. As a fan of the first game, I can't wait to see how this one turns out.
