Rumor: Assassin’s Creed 2 Confirmed Through a Survey?

I’m labeling this a rumor because it hasn’t been announced yet, but anyone who played Assassin’s Creed to its anti-climactic finish could probably guess that Ubisoft was already looking at a sequel (or two, as other rumors have it). But people who took a random opinion survey may have received confirmation of a sequel. The survey asked people questions concerning what they liked about the first game and what features they might like to see in next game. At the end of the survey, they were then informed that their opinions would be used in designing “the next Assassin’s Creed.” Hopefully they really take these opinions seriously, since the last game had kind of mixed reviews.
While we’re on the subject though, I liked the first game, but it had quite a few major flaws; particularly the repetitiveness and the complete lack of an ending…um, and the long-winded death sequences…and the fact that no matter how stealthy you were with the main kills, they’d still sound an alarm. Did I miss anything?

Eum its already been confirmed (on the AC boards) there wil be 3 parts 1=Past 2=Present 3=Future
um no this is not correct the next one is not in the present it is in the 15th centry. and they dont say nuthing about a nuther one. 15th centry one is in italy and you are revengeing your family. they also have sed ther will be a glider and new wepons also u can swim
lern 2 gremr ololol.
But seriously, the next AC game was confirmed a while ago, and it will be in roughly 15th century Italy, not present day. The last game however will most likely take place in the month before 21/12/2012, Desmond being the badass that he is starts takin’ people down left, right and center to stop the Templar (not Templars, Templar. Templar is like sheep.)
This article sounds like someone still trying to get the last word on AC review.
We get it, you’re cool, drop it already
this game proves tht game tht look great and are hyped by the media are shit
shit ending, shit story….shit game!!! last word is dispointed
Only someone completly insane could not think the game is prehapes the greatest ever.
the story is brilliant,the mechanics brilliant.Sometimes big games,hyped games are
actually good and pooping on them because of that is just silly.
I have to say Halo(in general) sucks as do most mainstream hyped games(like final fantasy 12) but Assassins creed is just pure awesome.
As everyone is thinking, the AC is not complete. It is needed (definitely needed) next “Assassin’s Creed 2″.
Ok whoever said that AC will be 1 Past 1 Present 1 Future are you stupid how can you go forward in time it would still be the present because there is no time travel yet maybe you should say 2 in the Animus and 1 out.
Agreed with Cindy I did read somewhere on the fourms that there will be 2 in the Animus and then 1 in Desmonds time aka a trilogy and have any of you heard idiots on other fourms coming out with the gayest name
I’m playing the game right now, and I have to say, I love it! Is it a bit redundant? Yes. But it’s beautifully rendered, and the plot is excellent. As for the trilogy… they could just follow the crusades’ time lines, considering that there were several. All this talk of a ninja sequel makes my head hurt. For any of you who’ve played SOCOM (which Ubisoft also makes), the game play in that was fantastic! You had stealth kills, intrigue and times where you just had to ice someone in public. Also, the ability to drag and hide a body would be nice, and would prevent guards from always being so trigger happy. AC is a great game, all it needs are a few minor tweaks to make it even better! I really think the incorporation of some of these SOCOM abilities would go a long way towards making the game more enjoyable. **A final thought: Several European countries were involved in the crusades. Why not have the ability to travel BACK to England, France or Spain to do some missions and gather information?!**
AC2? It only makes sense!
I found the 1st AC, to be very interesting. The storyline and the gameplay was awesome!
The ending (if that was what was originally planned), well, you had to really think about it; but that’s what happens in real life, to a psychotic killer you gets caught alive, in a place where there is no death penalty, -> they are just put in a room and left to die. But with the all glitches, I also took it, as maybe that was also was a dream sequence?
But now I find out, there will be a sequel!!
Great game!
“I liked the first game, but it had quite a few major flaws; particularly the repetitiveness and the complete lack of an ending…um, and the long-winded death sequences…” (c)
hell yeah! totaly agree on that!!!!
Assassins creed was awesome but at the end i was mad as hell but im waitin for number 2 i bet that shit well be off the damn hook!
If you read the e-mails in the computer in the next room after you beat the game, you see that the templars had somehting to do with the Philidalphia project, were the aircraft carrier dissapeared and reapered, but was spotted somewere 100’s of miles away…yada yada…apparently it really happened in real life…not in the game-look it up. Philidalphia Project. Anyway, is also says that abstergo has the power to go through time, but the executives said they didn’t want to becasue of a paradox possibility.
So the future isn’t out of the question.
The game is awesome and i think ubisoft would be retarded to have no AC2… the fact that AC might be a trioligy rocks! the only thing that would get me down is the fact that prices are gonna be murder… along with the time its gonna take to make AC2 & 3… the game is awesme!
The next game is obviously going to be in the present. Desmond attains the assassin’s sight! Anyone who explored at the end of the game knows about the clues for the other artifacts. I think 2 will def be in the present, trying to find the locations of the other artifacts and the conspiracy of the Templar, and 3 wrapping up the origin of the artifacts and what they mean to mankind.
Plain and Simply, it’s obvious there is going to be a sequel, no question about it..
As for the game itself. Yes, it has some major flaws that need to be taken care of.. But, personally, even if they weren’t and the exact same flawed engine was used in the next, i would still buy it on release day, no questions asked.
AC has a reason for not having an ending…
It has set the stage for an epic story. (Possibly comparable to Final Fantasy’s stage)
For those who are creative and can put 2 and 2 together, Assassin’s Creed has shown us that even modern games can introduce a classic, and original gameplay factor, and still create a story that really makes you think about what’s going on, and something that can confuse you (which is always fun) and question your beliefs of the real world, taking all written content as written content and no gospel.
sIS gonna be a AC2& 3 they said when it was comin out it was gonna be a trilogy and all you peopl sayin AC hadd major flaws U got Issues cause tht game kicked some serious ass and Halo does not suk either 4 the person who said tht god u guys must be on meth or crack or coke or SOMTHIN DAMN
this is the way i think the sequels for AC will go(and they did confirm it was a trilogy before the first 1 came out). Part 2 will probably be 50/50 or at least split as they will need Altair’s memories to help find the other artifacts but they will also get desmond to help in the present because he’s an assassin. In part 3 it will be completley in the present as Vidic and the Templars will probably try and kill you and Desmond and Lucy will escape and fight back.
That’s what i think anyway
“I liked the first game, but it had quite a few major flaws; particularly the repetitiveness and the complete lack of an ending…um, and the long-winded death sequences…” (c)
“hell yeah! totaly agree on that!!!!”
Ehmmm no, not entirely. Lets give this some thought shall we. If you believe the “long-winded death sequences” is a flaw, this game isnt for you. Its all part of giving you background knowledge of why the guys you kill are to be hit in the first place. Without the story-line and all the individual oppinions the game would be an empty, pretty version of 1980s prince of persia.
Regards…
Oh and by the way… Cindy, learn your bloody manners and speak properly to people. You have no evidence of Thijs being stupid.
i NEED nr.2 NOW!!!
i just want to play a newer version of it with more difficult enemies. its a master piece. But what about the new game serria is making,prototype, will they be using features like in assassin’s creed. I got to say this i hope desmond dies at the end of the trilogy and that he doesn’t get any special powers like Al mualim, the last boss, this will finely ruin the game. i just hope that ubisoft doesn’t ruin the game like halo2 and 3 or devil may cry 2,3,4 or even metal gear 2,3 or rainbowsix vegas 2, or all other need for speed except most wanted
This was the best game Ive ever played,but it has a realy stupid ending.However I hope there will be a A.C.2 ,cause this is one of the greatest games ever made.
Assassin’s Creed in unbelievable! It’s like Grand Theft Auto, 1000 years ago in the Middle East. The ending was anti-climactic because I’m sure they planned on making a sequel from the start. Some people just need to be patient and have a little faith that if the first game was this good, the second will be even better.
AC was awesome i just finished today of course the ending kinda suck and the hidden meaning in the blood written things in the floor is hard to crack and u need to get a secret thing to see lucys email but the games rocks soo freaking cool i hope they make a new ac and i they do it i cant wait for it
ok what i want all of you to do is type in Assassinscreed2.com then cnage the 2 to a 3 and continue till 6. now notice that the site for 6 has not been saved the others however are and being that Ubisoft is a FRENCH company the site you see is also french. (not French-Canadian) this could lead you to believe that there will be 5 games not just 3. now to help prove my point got to wikipedia.com and read the full story of Assassin’s Creed. also at the end of the game with the writing on the walls there are more the 2 languages represented. ill let you all discuss now.

yes the game had flaws, but i believe the good outweighs the bad greatly. yes it is repetitive but thats why they keep giving you new weapons and abilities. But on the controversy of AC2…i really do hope that they do the next one in the present and 3 in the future. i don’t see why it couldnt b done, i see why it might b controversial but i would like to see it anyway
@Jay: you seriously an idiot, SOCOM is not made by Ubisoft! its made by sonys first party developers! SOCOM confrontation and all future SOCOM games will be made exclusively for the ps3!
Just a minor suggestion after reading most of these posts. Think it might be possible that #2 will be present time, with assassins busting Desmond out and stealing the files off of the doc’s computer. They’d use these files to find the devices seen at the end of the game. Number two might be repetitive as well, but also have a different area as you prevent the Templars from obtaining any devices. In the end, the Templars go for the last two at once, obtaining one as you defend the other. Then as #3 begins, you must go back to the animus to try and fix the whole thing.
In the possible four and five, time travel devices are built, in four they would only go from present to past and back, and in five they might be able to go to the future.
I’m just a teenage video game player with high hopes of designing games. I feel these are minor guidelines to four awesome sequels to one awesome game.
Discuss as you wish. Please be nice with any flaming.
I’m just gonna sit back and relax while waiting for the next AC and let ubisoft suprise me
I know that whatever happens (past, present, future and timetravel rumors whatever) Ubisoft has never disapointed me in any of there games, SO RELAX PEOPLE, don’t go shout things your not even sure about
ok there was a girl u almost assassinated right? and Lucy was an assassin (so they say) and! wen u came back to the beryo (damn cant spell it) yr ally was surprised that Altair said “she” you were equally baffled . maybe just maybe those two women in the first one could be some kind of another clue of what happens in AC2 i no it sounds a bit off but i think its a reasonable theory to me
Assassins Creed was 1 of the best games i have ever played. i cant wait for part 2 to b out.
lots of people think it will b about a ninja i think Altair will stay, they cant just have him for one game. the game is based on him.
the ending was shit but it leaves u think wot part 2 will b like. the (nascar lines) do they mean he will go 2 Puru, or the wrighting on the wall he cud go 2 china or even egypt who no’s all i no is ill b getting part 2 as soon as it comes out and i hope it is as good as part 1
I KNOW that asassins creed is THE best game ever made by ubisoft. well duu
. but i dont think people should be making all of these comments on what will happen in#2,3,4 and 5. You dont even know what will happen in the next asassins creed.
So there is most deffinately going to be sequels, i think everyone know that. But the story was not about what the templars were doing in the 12th century, it was about what they were doing now, so i think that the sequel will be mainly in the past to see how the templars/assasins impacted history. then the 3rd will be fully out of the animus, finishing the templars. Also, i dont see there being a future AC, i mean a main part of what they did with it was its historical accuracy or whatever, so i don’t think they could keep that going with a future game.
I wanna throw a whole new idea out the.
Wht if they thro in a new person that play opposite altier and you play as that person at another animus that interacts with mason through it.
Just a thought
sounds good, maybe a templar goin back???
wait, nvm, i mean the templars wanted him to go back so nevermind
err hello nidzumi! I could kill hundreds of people steathaly without anyone knowing its easyer than wipeing your arse and the game had exceelent plot twists interesting characters and a ending that left a great cliff hanger you are evidently blind i recommend spec savers or boots opticians
i think that the girl templar of the first is lucys ancestor and both desmond and lucy go in the animus and fight together, this would be sweet only if it was multiplayer. ac2 has to go off of ac1’s ending cause it would just piss everyone off if it didnt. there was no ending to the first one so i think that the hint to the 2nd ac is in the clues of the first
the clues are the writing, like the whole bleeding out thing is a clue to whats gunna happen, becuase if you read the emails the guy before desmond wrote all that because he was bleeding out and becoming his ansestor, so desmond is gunna become altair, also the fact that he has eagle vision is a hint at this happening too
Obviously it had some flaws such as repetitevness, but it was really a great game.I also think Ubisoft might suprise us with a totally unexpected setting. I think i’m gonna do what Pufje said and sit back, relax and wait for the next one to come out. Oh and no matter what game you buy there will always be something somebody doesn’t like so give it a rest. It was an awesome game.
has u got cokie
i like chocolat chip cokie 
assassings cread cheat code: (PS3) up down x x square
anwser to has u got cokie cheat code:
WOW 
GUNS SNIPERS,MG42
AND MORE
PLZ WRITE REVIW IM COOL
EV has it right. In the second (or third) game, Desmond is going to complete the bleeding process and take out the leaders of Obstergo
But i don’t think they should do a past – present – future trilogy, just do it through the cruades, also I’d like if you could have more weapons like a spear, bow, falchion (huge cleaver).
desmond will complete the bleeding process at the end of the trilogy and i think in the final game he will have 2 giv up his life in the animus 2 save the world from templars and at the beginning of AC2 it will start where AC1 ended and lucy and vidic will enter the room saying the artefact wasnt there and force desmond 2 get back in the animus and the story 4 AC2 will start and they will discover that altair has hidden it at the location of the assassins base and the assassins will rescue desmond and will find the peice of eden and there will be a cliffhanger at the end and AC3 will have the assassins break into abstergo 2 get 2 the animus so desmond can find out from altair how 2 destroy the peice of eden as altair couldnt because he was 2 weak and is what i think
oh and in in AC1 when u went how did desmond have dreams about the blood writing in his room
Indeed it is a brilliant game, also heard the rumor about the ninja sequel,but, i have also heard that the next game will be set in egypt, around the time of the pharaoh’s, and the pyramids being built.
Now that would be sweet!
Anyone agree?
