Ubisoft expects "bigger, better" performance from Assassin's Creed 2 |
Ubisoft's expecting a lot from Assassin's Creed 2 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), especially since its predecessor holds the record for fastest selling new IP when it released. How much is that "a lot"? Yanis Mallat quantifies at the GameOn: Finance conference this week.CEO's Ubisoft Montreal said:
Better, bigger, and definitely opening a new realm in terms of how Assassin's Creed gameplay can be seen. I think that Assassin's Creed 2 will definitely show the work of a team that listened a lot to you guys. In how could we make this experience better, and the results are, in my opinion, really, really solid, astonishing [sic].
So why is Assassins' Creed 2 bigger and better than the first one?
Assassin's Creed 1 was, and still is, the fastest selling new IP, but it definitely had some areas where we could improve the experience. In the way we don't repetitively do the same kind of mission. If there's one thing we worked on, it's definitely killing the repetitiveness feeling, making sure that we're adding so much variety. Not just variety for the sake of variety, it is embedded into the game system, so that in a way each of your actions, interacting with the crowd or buying items or equipping yourself, has actual value towards your main goal [sic].
Assassin's Creed 2 is coming out on November 17th in North America, while Europe is getting it on November 20th.

@the first comment, WTF?!?!?!?!, we already have advertising on this site.....
Assassin's Creed 1 was, and still is, the fastest selling new IP? Seriously, its been 2 years and still selling as much?
it will be beaten by mw2, i think..
ofc it will be beaten by MW2. Ubisoft was totally stupid to bring it out at the same time as MW2.
but its counted as a new ip.. it is not being compared to cod4 since its not a new ip (title).. u can compare it to the first uncharted game i think.. but ac is not exclusive to any console thats why its the fastest selling..
i think ubisoft wasnt all that stupid for releasing assasin's creed 2 at the same time as modern warfare 2 because although modern warfare 2 will dominate in november sales and for more months after that, assasins creed 2 will be on the christmas list for many people.
