Assassin's Creed was also a gorgeous game.  That was never a problem.

It's everything else that concerns me.  I hope they've learned from their mistakes and aren't simply planning to bolt on a bunch of additional features.

They should totally get Hans Zimmer to score the shit out of this baby.

at least there'd be half way decent music to go with the shitty gameplay.

Oh shut up. This isn't a platformer.

^aren't your assassinations supposed to be really public though?

I'm pretty sure it'll be 2009.  It has to be, since it's GOTY2009.

I don't get it. It looks good, but I'm not seeing much of a bump from AC other than more complex architecture, and that's more style than anything. I want to see more of the countryside, anyway.

I dunno.  This pic looks way more impressive technically than any scene from the first game.

Looks like the first one.

It looks like they learned a lot from their mistakes in the first game.  Here are a few key changes:

- 16 mission types (and they removed a couple of the lamer types from the first game)
- one huge open world
- swim on the surface and underwater (this can play into your assassinations as well as getaways)
- use all weapons in the environment, including anything enemies are using
- more seamless, open flow to the game instead of the fairly rigid structure the first game used repeatedly
- two assassin blades that you will automatically use when appropriate (no need to ever equip them now)

It sounds really, really promising.
