We're walking into Assassin's Creed 2 with a lot of questions (namely, will it stay fresh between assassinations?), but we're excited to find out the answers. Sadly, we may have to wait much longer than we anticipated for some of our queries to be addressed.

I just want to know if it will go to far into the sci-fi realm.
PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Jul 7th 2009 6:06PM
Duh, it already has (The Animus)
PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Jul 7th 2009 6:15PM
oops, i didn't see the "too (far)" in your post. i think now with the animus anything can possibly happen

Editing potions would be nice Joystiq.
ArchiGamer @ Jul 7th 2009 6:18PM
*options
Though potions would suffice.

Was that a wrist gun at the end?

That felt like I was The History Channel for gaming.
ArchiGamer @ Jul 7th 2009 6:15PM
Can I get that channel with my regular subscription or do I have to upgrade to the Premium package?
paperless @ Jul 8th 2009 8:59AM
The package is a lie.

He's a rich guy with a good sense of morality who's father was killed, and in search of vengeance he learns justice is more important. He is suave and and adept at consorting with all levels of society and also has a friend (da Vinci) who designs all of his "high tech" gear.
So basically, He's Batman. Minus the no killing thing of course.
Nate @ Jul 7th 2009 6:50PM
Batman is a good thing
Syncognition @ Jul 7th 2009 6:51PM
Never said otherwise :0)
kacex @ Jul 8th 2009 3:14PM
Batman is a man... a good man

kacex @ Jul 8th 2009 3:22PM

RavenLord @ Jul 7th 2009 7:48PM

ziggen @ Jul 7th 2009 8:04PM

MaliceMajorE15 @ Jul 7th 2009 8:41PM
there wasnt any spoiler alert on this article. i hope that means that this is an actua "backstory" and we should ignore when the devlopers say "as you progress" this and that happens.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first game but this one is looking really impressive. It's going to be tough to decide which games to pick up around Christmas.

I noticed that the guards still haven't figured out to help each other yet. This game could be a lot better if it forced players to think of fighting guards as a last ditch effort.
Take the splinter cell games for example. The first game forced the player to avoid conflitcts in favor of quick knockouts and stealth, and it was fantastic. Pandora Tommorrow decided to let players throw stealth out the window and it sucked. Chaos Theory again focused on stealth, and again fantastic game. Double Agent walked the line between the two and it was mediocre. See the trend Ubi, stealth works better than run n gun in spy/assassin games.

Or hold RT + X. Counter counter counter!

It took at least 6 guys to replace Jade Raymond.
Johnny Neat @ Jul 8th 2009 10:50AM
Yeah what happened to that cute vixen?
Urza @ Jul 8th 2009 1:25PM
Where is Jade now I wonder.
derek @ Jul 9th 2009 10:57AM
damnnn...this game looks sooo cool!
I better buy the first one.
This looks pretty darn cool!
Urza @ Jul 8th 2009 1:24PM
I ha the dev diarys, if you're a dev and your game is still in production, you have better things to do then sit in front of a camera and talk about the game. To me, every minute spend on shit like this is a minute taken away from polishing the game.
