Assassin’s Creed Lineage

Assassin’s Creed Lineage is a short film made by Ubisoft  that you should check out if you have played or are playing Assassin’s Creed 2. It is about the story of Ezio’s father, Giovanni Auditore. It shows Giovanni’s role as an Assassin. Assassin’s Creed 2 briefly goes through what Giovanni had been up to at the beginning of the game, leaving behind a lot of questions like how the Auditore family got involved in the Assassin’s vs. Templars war. This short film will surely answer your questions.

Gamer’s Update: August 20th

-Quite a few new Assassin’s Creed 2 screenshots have emerged. While they’re certainly beautiful, they also give new perspectives into fresh gameplay. Here’s one demonstrating new weapons:

-A lot of people became worried when Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XIII would be released on the 360 alongside the PS3 (not to mention the angry PS fans). The problem is that FF XIII is such a high caliber game that it requires a blu-ray disc to fit it all of the game onto 1 disc. Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase commented on this saying: “This isn’t the final count yet, but we’re aiming for about three discs.” The team also says they’re trying to compress it as much as they can, while still retaining the quality of the game.

-BIOSHOCK 2 is on the way, but it’s taking some time to complete the game. Expect to see it within the first quarter of 2010, or shown off at the PAX East show next year (in Boston).

-A while back we gave notice to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized for the Nintendo DS. Here’s the official trailer :

Ubisoft teases with another Assassin’s Creed 2 trailer

If you saw the trailer above, you should know that Assassin’s Creed 2 will take place in Italy. Leonardo Da Vinci seems to have a big role in the game. And this time around, the AC sequel will be flourished with the art of Renaissance. The game will be available sometime around Christmas, which is a sooner date than expected.
