Assassin's Creed 2 goes....techno?

Heh <- Video of Assassin's Creed 2

Heh, the soundtrack for that trailer does suck, I doubt that will be in-game. I can't wait for this game, I loved the first even though it was a little repetitive.

 

[Queasy]

No, it definitely will not be in game. It was kind of jolting to hear techno going along with this game though.

Kind of reminded me of the use of modern music in A Knight's Tale.

Bizarre choice for background music. It does not match the game at all. But the song itself, Genesis by Justice, is bad ass.

 

[Dumac]

The trailer was decent, but I'm pretty cautious about this game. I felt like the first one, although fun at first, became drab very quickly.

 

[Q]

They are playing "Genesis" by Justice? Wow. Good song, but not for this.

 

[onlyCOpunk]

Really? I would love a little Justice mixed in with assassinations.

I think the game could be very good. The first one was fun, but got very repetitive. If they can spruce up the combat a bit more, add some variety and stuff to it, the game could be a ton of fun.

That's the plan <- Link to original GameInformer AC2 thread.

They did something similar with Prince of Persia when they showed it with that "I cut myself today" song.

That was a bizarre, uninspiring video that was littered with image tearing. They better get that puppy in shape ASAP.

I hope they have better voice acting for the main char in this one. Altair sounded completely out of place and awkward.

It wasn't his voice acting for me but it was the dead look on his face when the other NPC's were giving him speeches. Not only did he have that look but you could move him around and just move to the corner and jump around and stuff. They should have animated altair in some way and just given us control of the camera and not control of Altair himself.

I just hope they make the dialogue shorter/less boring or let you skip it.

I liked the Dialog in the first one... the story was what made the repetetive gameplay acceptable 🙂 I'm looking forward to the next one.

I've been looking for a video example of tearing for a long time - could you tell me at what points in the video you see it? I've seen screenshots of tearing, but I've never been able to see it in video, even in games that apparently have a lot of it. I don't know if my brain just filters it out, or why else I can't see it.
