Would you like eleven seconds of footage that is of no use to you whatsoever? Of course you do. People love getting things early, even if it's a low-quality version of something better that they were going to see anyway, so here's a tiny little bit of Assassin's Creed 2, as found on Youtube.
As you can see, it's got running in it. And jumping too, plenty of jumping. There's even a bit of climbing too, if you look really carefully. For a short teaser, this video has it all, right?
Hit the jump for the best/worst eleven second of your life. It's not even worth Ubisoft's time to remove it from Youtube, really.
Really looking forward to this game. I've got a good feeling that they've fixed some of the tedium in the first. I'm no Michael Pachter, but I can make bizarrely unsubstantiated predictions as well.
The video looks okay, but not better than the first AC at all. First, the music sucks. And second, the footage is probably not even in-game anyway, so that makes this game actually look pretty bad.
I'm still looking forward to E3 a lot though, mainly because I hope that BG&E2 is going to make a surprise appearance...
Also, thanks for posting this. XD
How can ANYONE say ANYTHING, be it positive, be it negative, about this video? It shows nothing but a short sequence of a crude cinematic. I fail to find an adequate adjective to it and people are praising ad hating. 50% of it was a guy climbing an arch(which, admittedly, composed equals 50% of the predecessor. I kid) and the other 50% a guy falling. It's not in-game, it's not even ready as a freaking video.
Anyways, I trult believe UbiSoft will find a way to enrich the experience that the predecessor offered. And for the enriching part I thank Freefall. Whose name, ironically, composes 40% of the video in question
It really surprises me how much people look forward to this game. After the first few - admittedly cool - hours, it was just the same thing over and over again. Ended up being one of the hardest games I've ever had to complete just through boredom.

All of this is opinion except that its not in game but isn't that what teasers are?
Ubi seems to have a serious problem keeping things wrapped up these days BG&E mp AC2 but whatever 11 seconds of cutscene isn't anything to be excited about.
I lived in Italy for three months, and I loved the first one (could have dealt without the whole time travel stuff), so I give this a thumbs up. Pumped to see where this game goes.
Hah, Ubisoft removed it from youtube. :P
They took the leaked files down as well...
But you can still watch the video here:

Damn You Ubisoft, now we cant see your leak footage of one the most anticipated games (thx to you taking it down), so what if it ruins the surprise and quality of your hard work.We can't wait for release dates, we want it now!...please.
