E3 2009: Assassin's Creed 2 Details [Trailer Added]

Written Monday, June 01, 2009 by Jason Debelyak
Finally, the game that everyone was waiting to see at the Ubisoft briefing.. Assassin's Creed 2! The game will take place in the year 1486 in Venice, Italy during the Renaissance period. The trailer shows off some truly breathtaking visuals, including some "tricks" up the new assassin's sleeves. On top of the knives which we've seen in recent pictures, you will also have a gun hidden up your sleeve.



A truly amazing trailer which you can experience below!

We figured the little bit of info and trailer we dropped earlier wasn't enough, so we did a little more digging and found a bit more information on Ubisoft's upcoming title, Assassin's Creed 2.Assassin’s Creed 2 is the follow-up to the title that became the fastest-selling new IP in video game history. The highly anticipated title features a new hero, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian noble, and a new era, the Renaissance.

Assassin’s Creed 2 retains the core gameplay experience that made the first opus a resounding success and features new experiences that will surprise and challenge players.

Assassin’s Creed 2 is an epic story of family, vengeance and conspiracy set in the pristine, yet brutal, backdrop of a Renaissance Italy. Ezio befriends Leonardo da Vinci, takes on Florence’s most powerful families and ventures throughout the canals of Venice where he learns to become a master assassin.

Key Features

EZIO, A NEW ASSASSIN FOR A NEW ERA
Ezio Auditore da Firenze is a young Italian noble who will learn the ways of the assassins after his family was betrayed and he looks to seek vengeance. He is a lady’s man, a free soul with panache yet has a very human side to his personality. Through him, you become a master assassin.

RENAISSANCE ITALY
Italy in the 15th century was less a country and more a collection of city-states where families with political and economic strength began to take leadership roles in cities like Florence and Venice. This journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world takes place in a time in history where culture and art were born alongside some of the most auspicious stories of corruption, greed and murder.

A NEW-FOUND FREEDOM
You will be able to perform missions when you want and how you want in this open-ended world that brings back free-running and adds elements such as swimming and even flying to the adventure. The variety in gameplay adds another layer for you to truly play through the game any way you choose.

DYNAMIC CROWD
Discover a living, breathing world where every character is an opportunity for the player. Blending in with the crowd is easier, working with in-game characters provide ample rewards but can also lead to surprising consequences.

BECOME A MASTER ASSASSIN
Perfect your skills to become a master assassin where you brandish new weapons, learn to disarm enemies then use their weapons against them and assassinate enemies using both hidden blades.

That alright for ya?

I sorta kept the news down for the first day of E3 then the next day there was like 30 new articles so I was like *Take a step back*

I think Microsoft are really on the move with what they're doing, what with partnerships with Sky, Zune, Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm. Not to mention Metal Gear Solid coming over

Some information is slowly starting to trickle in on the upcoming LEGO Rock Band. A few of the songs have been revealed, including Europe's epic "The Final Countdown". You will also take part in Rock Power challenges in order to destroy a giant robot and more. Also, a new Super Easy mode is revealed for the brand new rockers. I'm not sure how you can get much easier than Easy mode unless you're only using one button or two buttons, but I guess we'll find out more about that in the future. Enough from me, though, check out some of the details on the game:

E3 2009: Squeeballs: Island Party Extended Trailer

Written Thursday, June 04, 2009 by Jason Debelyak


Remember that motion sensing game that we reported on earlier in the week? Well, the third-party developer isn't phased by the fact that Project Natal is coming to the Xbox 360. Squeeballs: Island Party will be the first multiplatform game that will feature it's own motion sensing controller. There will be 11 main games, such as tenpin bowling, that will also translate to 150 different game challenges. The game will launch on the Xbox 360 on October 15th! The full extended trailer is embedded below, showcasing how the controller will function.

The only question here is how many games will follow suit with this third-party motion controller? Only time will tell, I suppose..
