My guess is that the game takes place in Renaissance Italy.

Maybe Rome/ Vatican/ Florence.

Edit: Maybe also Venice?

I guess no one cares? :)

^lol It's pretty late, that's to be expected

I'm defintely looking forward to AC2, does anyone know if it's coming out in 2009?

out in march 2010

Why does no1 care about this?

Looks like its gonna be set around Da Vinci times.
Possibly a tie in with DaVinci code? (although i doubt it, it does have something to do with crusaders etc.)

The wings look like you could have a getaway glider device.
Looks cool

Your right!

So where is the game taking place?

The setting is one thing about Assassin’s Creed 2 that gamers are very curious about. Well we can tell you that the game takes place during the Italian Renaissance in cities like Sicily and Venice. You will play in the game as a player named “Ezio”, and other multiple characters. It is not confirmed whether you will play as these new characters only in the animus, or also in the real world.

Many complained about the first game being repetitive, and the team at Ubisoft hopes to change that with some new gameplay features. One of these new features will be the ability for players to swim. This could provide some new interesting levels and missions in cities like Venice. There is also the ability for the assassin to stab and attack enemies from the roof or while they are lying in the hay.

Another new feature will be that when gamers attend events such as “balls”, players will be able to wear masks to fit in amongst the crowd. The demo that our source played said that he was able to disguise as a dancer in the ball and very smoothly take out his enemy without anybody knowing it.

Not only this, but there will no longer be cinematics in the game. Instead they will be moving towards more quick-time event cut scenes in the game. This is to keep the gamer engaged in the crucial gameplay/story moments. This is a great step to keep the gameplay more engaging than it was in the past game.

This game is shaping up to be a highly anticipated 2009 title…

While the first game was fun and had some good ideas going for it, it was far from perfect. There were some repetitive moments, and lack of exciting gameplay features. Hopefully with an exciting setting, improved battle mechanics, the ability to swim, and improved stealth mechanics this game will live up to the hype gamers put on the first one. Stay tuned to the HipHopGamer site for more details on this exciting new game.
