Mondoxbox has some new AC2 screens.

 

[BobsRevenge]

Yup, looks awesome.

The new main character looks so badass.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Wow

 

[fistfulofmetal]

so wait, you can swim now? i don't think they've made it clear enough.

 

[RBH]

Whoa.

 

[Wollan]

So this isn't out before next spring?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

graphics were never the problem with AC it was the repetitive mission design. It got boring way too fast.

 

[Esch]

That's hot, yo.

Something about the graphics reminds me of Uncharted.

 

[Ranger X]

Jesus Christ that we rock at screenshots. I'm impressed. Can't wait to see what the marketing will do in matters of trailers.

[painey]

"drunken cameraman shoots wonky photos of cloaked assassin, coming up on the news at 10"

 

[Artadius]

Assuming they fix the repetitive mission issues from the first one, this will be day one for sure, and I don't do that often.

 

[Timber]

i adore the setting!

sadly i still haven't played the original and looking at these screens i might skip it entirely and start off with 2

 

[xbhaskarx]

It looks great, but so did the first one, and it was still my most disappointing day one purchase.

 

[PSGames]

Nice!

 

[sun-drop]

looks exactly like the last one ...hope this one has an ending and a bit more fleashed out 'game'

 

[YuriLowell]

I declare bullshots.

 

[zeloe326]

Sweet.

edit.
love this screen.

 

[Dibbz]

wow looks amazing. Anyone know if Jesper Kyd is doing the soundtrack for this one to?

 

[Akia]

holy freaking crap. the art direction...the positioning...such a great screen.

 

[Chinner]

i imagine it looks quite nice once the bullshot element is removed.

 

[Captain Pants]

I declare bullshots.

I declare that it isn't a surprise that a sequel to a good looking game also looks good.

 

[jett]

Strip the bullshottiness away and the graphical quality seems to be the same as AC1, which is fine for me as that probably means I'll be able to run it with no issues on my PC

Venezia and Firenze FTW, the reason why it looks so much better than the first one.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Nice to see that the water has reflection this time around!

 

[Stinkles]

Venice as a game location is just genius.

 

[jakncoke]

graphics were never the problem with AC it was the repetitive mission design. It got boring way too fast.

yup :/

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Damn.

 

[Spasm]

You will be mine.

/Axl

 

["God's Beard!"]

well I'm not disappointed

 

[Xrenity]

I declare bullshots.

Really? You kidding me?

The screens look good, but not THAT good.

I'll definately get this. First one was awesome.

 

[SelfCon]

graphics were never the problem with AC it was the repetitive mission design. It got boring way too fast.

I agree, but I have my fingers crossed on this one.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

holy freaking crap. the art direction...the positioning...such a great screen.

If he's not jumping into hay, is it the shallow waters of venice. Eek.

 

[Captain Pants]

Really? You kidding me?

The screens look good, but not THAT good.

I'll definately get this. First one was awesome.

Agreed... maybe I'm blind, but that looks about like what I'd expect AC2 to look like.

 

[FrankT]

Same screens from the latest GI.

 

[GCX]

The art direction is really really good.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Really? You kidding me?

The screens look good, but not THAT good.

Bullshots = doctored screenshots
Too much AA, etc. The actual game assets are still in there.

 

[Leatherface]

Can't wait!! I'm actually playing through the first one on my PC now and I love it! Who said AC1 sucks anyway? I avoided this game because of GAF and come to find out it's awesome! Some of you drama queens really suck! lol

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I declare bullshots.

really?

does'nt look that unbelievable to me technically.

its the art.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Meh, these aren't new. Seen them a couple weeks back. Still nice though.

 

[Spasm]

I really hope they keep the free-roaming countryside aspect from the first game. Maybe update it a little.

I loved it, but it was underutilized. Give us more to do than just avoid soldiers, and hunt for flags. How about some side missions?

 

[BobsRevenge]

Can't wait!! I'm actually playing through the first one on my PC now and I love it! Who said this sucks anyway. I avoided this game because of GAF and come to find out it's awesome! Some of you drama queens really suck! lol

Yeah, I loved the game on the PC too.

Then again I loved Far Cry 2 also, so I guess I don't mind repetitive gameplay. :lol

 

[Revelations]

Is this how Splinter Cell Conviction will look? Its the same studio right? So they would likely use the same engine yes?

 

[esbern]

Sweet.

edit.
love this screen.

better get used to it. you're going to miss every fucking jump and and probably need it ever 3 minutes if i remember correctly

 

[.GqueB.]

Looks cool... LOOKS cool.

 

[Dabanton]

graphics were never the problem with AC it was the repetitive mission design. It got boring way too fast.

Agree. The pictures are stunning but it will all be for nought if the missions are boring and repetitive.

 

[Ramenman]

No way some of those are real screenshots.

Like, the 2nd and the 3rd totally look like concept-somethings-whatever.

Still looks cool though.

 

[Skilletor]

You have a horrible memory. If you're missing jumps in Assassin's Creed, you should probably stop playing videogames.

 

[Speevy]

No way some of those are real screenshots.

Like, the 2nd and the 3rd totally look like concept-somethings-whatever.

Still looks cool though.

Uncharted can pull off these graphics, so I'm sure the real Assassin's Creed 2 looks like this.

Very nice visuals.

 

[BobsRevenge]

Still looks cool though.

Well, yeah. Just looking at the angles and shit its obvious that they aren't real screenshots.

Still representative of what the game will look like though, especially on my PC after I load it up with AA.

 

[Leatherface]

Yeah, I loved the game on the PC also.

Then again I loved Far Cry 2 also, so I guess I don't mind repetitive gameplay. :lol

I don't mind repetative gameplay when it's so much fun to play. I can literally sneak around assassinate and climb on things forever in Assassins Creed. The game mechanics are just so perfect!

That said I do see a lot of room for improvement for the second game and I'm sure the developers know the grips of the first one, so I think we're in for a treat.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Wow @ the moonlit area shown. Beautiful looking game.
