since there is that rumor that in assassin's creed 2, their will be an "Altair" character in the french revolution ages, what do you think the reason will be for going back into the animus? i think it is gonna have something to do with that treasure thing, being moved, so they have to find the new location  

I dont care if Altair is in the future all i want is the game to be good.lol

There won't be an Animus.

I just want more 3rd person free running, less repetion and more depth to the combat. The Animus was a great tool, though im betting this game will be a prequel

Well, it's that, or stare at a white wall.

because of that mess of writing on your wall at the end of the game. The chick (whose name I forget) will help you discover more about your 'family' and past incarnations. Your family has a long line of assassins with each generation following in their fathers footsteps until it is eventually revealed that YOUR father was an assassin (please no JFK references though) and then the ultimate game will be your character as an assassin in modern times.

You heard it here first

Also I would like assassinations to be more stealthy and less combat. Perhaps still find out about your target with some of the mini quests but then you get to chose what approach you take. You have to follow the character and work out their routine. You could sneak into their palace and murder them while they sleep. Or attack them stealthily during a masquerade ball or set up a more combat oriented ambush situation

I'd rather not have an animus at all...I think the storyline of the last game could've held up without it anyway.
It just seems weird to me, switching back and forth from the past to what is supposed to be the present.

If they get rid of the animus that'd be sweet with me.

It would be cool if it took place exactly where the first one left off and it would be about the protagonist trying to escape the scientists. Guns and free-running included. :)

Why wouldn't Desmond get some of those freerunning skills by being in the Animus?

I always expected him to say 'fuck this' and climb his way out of the building.

I think AC2 should have some non-Animus action. Keep the Animus, but have it glitch out to where we start seeing dinosaurs and shit. Then you come back into the future and you have to run across rooftops to escape while helicopters chase you down.

That'd be cool.

No idea and no care since the first AC bored me within a half an hour.

The main weapons were guns back then you guys do realize that which means Altair will probably have some gun weapons

"There won't be an Animus."

They never said it would be 'completely' in the french revolution, some of it could be modern day and other parts could be reliving stuff in the animus, you know, recovering secrets from the past and present.

I can't for the life of me remember what happens at the end of the game. But just any kind of action that isn't in the animus would be nice.

The story wouldn't had made much sense without it exactly."

On that note I would say that this game will have to have the animus. Partly becuz it is called ASSASINS Creed

Also I think they would like to show more of a history behind desmond. So we could get a clear picture of who his family was.

"There won't be an Animus."

Anyone who has beaten the first game knows there won't be an Animus. That's impossible. At least, it's impossible where he is. There's no reason to go into it again.

I personally enjoyed the switching back and forth between present and past, and I even liked the ending! I wouldn't be surprised if AC2 incorporated some actual gameplay into the present day situations of the game, whilst maintaining the past assassination missions.

Do you think the only people to have an Animus is Abstergo. In case you didn't realize, Lucy Stillman was from the Creed and one of the main engineers of the Animus. Surely she could create another version of it for the Creed.

That wasn't funny in the slightest.
