Something about the graphics and animation looks dated. Otherwise it looks awesome.

This was a series that I felt could hit the nail on the head with a sequel. The first game introduced so much new stuff, and did so much right (which a lot of people fail to give it credit for), but it definitely didn't completely find its feet.

Hopefully, with ACII, they take the framework of everything they did right and replace/flesh out everything they failed to do with the first one.

This is the first I've seen of the 50 year span element. That's pretty badass.

Graphics dont look that good to me but they'll do, as long as they make the gameplay more interesting than the first.

@G0rd0nFr33m4n: I thought of that as well. Someone in the photoshop thread needs to make one of these now. Also @niall077: What game are you talking about? MW2? This is AC2.

With a team as huge as they have for this, I'm surprised how awful the animation (particularly the facial animation) looks in cutscenes. I expected more polish from a AAA title from Ubisoft.

Meh. It looks like they're doing the cutscenes in engine, which makes it much harder to ramp up the fidelity of the animation. Looks fine to me, but then I'm a big ol' Assassins Creed fanboy. Can't wait.

it really sounds like they've improved much of this game. i am excited for it.

it was kind of weird a few months ago i was thinking that this year had been and was going to continue to be a pretty stale year for games. but now with the release of Uncharted, Borderlands this and MW2, the year is shaping up to be anything but.

Why do the graphics look WORSE than the first one? This shouldn't happen EVER.

Only issue i have (and this is a pet peeve more than anything) - how the hell is he going to do all his crazy parkour stuff in full plate armor?

is it just me or does all the gameplay in the clips they show seem a little laggy?
