Assassin's Creed fans might have been disappointed by the lack of
gameplay footage at Ubisoft's press conference yesterday, but the demo
given at Sony's press conference earlier today was well worth the wait.
The demo opened up with a scene that looked remarkably similar to that
featured in yesterday's trailer:
Nobles are dancing in the city square, fireworks are illuminating the
sky, and series protagonist Desmond is stalking the streets in the
shoes (and trademark white hood) of another of his deadly ancestors.
You won't be playing as an assassin, though, at least not at the
outset. Rather, you'll be playing as a nobleman on a quest for
vengeance who, as you progress through the game, will learn to be even
more lethal than the first game's Altair. Assisting you on your quest
will be Leonardo Da Vinci, a personal friend who serves as your
personal inventor and affords you access to all manner of gadgets--his
famous flying machine, for example.
The target in the demo is located inside a castle and,
conveniently, can only be reached from the sky. After strapping
yourself into the flying machine--which resembles a hang glider with
flapping wings--you'll be able to float over the city, using the
thermals from fires dotted around the environment to gain both speed
and altitude. And, as was shown in the demo at one point, you'll even
be able to swoop down and kill enemies.
After we watched Desmond's ancestor land on the roof, we were
treated to a quick display of just a handful of the new moves that
you'll have at your disposal. The most impressive was undoubtedly the
ability to simultaneously take down two enemies by thrusting your
wrist-mounted blades into their necks. Even more significant, though,
will be the ability to disarm enemies and use their weapons against
them. In the demo, we only saw a spear being used in this way, but the
finished game will purportedly feature more than 30 different weapons,
as well as six that can be unlocked only by connecting the PS3 version
of Assassins Creed 2 with the PSP game, Assassin's Creed Bloodlines.






The stage demo ended, predictably, with the assassination of the
target. Less predictable, though, was the escape from the castle, which
involved the use of a smoke bomb (which disoriented multiple enemies)
and then a dive into a nearby expanse of water. Gaining the ability to
swim has long been the mark of a good sequel, so consider us even more
excited for Assassin's Creed 2 right now than we were yesterday. Expect
more information on the game, which is scheduled for release later this
year, as our coverage of E3 2009 continues.
