Assassin's Creed 2 Will Have A Hefty 3 Hours Of Cutscenes

October 22, 2009 in News comments 7

The first Assassin's Creed game had quite a good story. Many arguing against that, but others for it as well. But Assassin's Creed 2 plans to dig deeper into the secret world of assassin's and templars. The game has been revealed to have a total of 3 hours of cut scenes. Now that is quite a lot of story telling, more than most movies.

As noted in the BBFC's classification report for the game, "When submitted to the BBFC the linear elements within the work had a running time (eg cut scenes) of 181m 30s."

    That doesn't hold a candle to the amount of hours of cutscenes that's in MGS4.

    That's not hefty at all, unless they force us to sit through them then that's pretty damn reasonable.

    Damn, they better be better than the first. Oh my god, the pacing in AC1 is so terrible. I just bought it for 5 bucks off Steam, granted this isn't the first time I've played it but it reminded me of hating not being able to skip all the modern time scenes. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS OLD MAN AND HIS EXPERIMENTS, JUST GET ME BACK TO KILLING DUDES.

    The first Assassins Creed tried too hard, it had a good story but the dialogue scenes went on for too long. Hopefully these will be more exciting. There's a definite right and wrong way to deliver dialogue and my idea of delivering a story is not isometric camera angles that I can toggle through with the actors all standing there rigid and lifeless. It didn't help that the voice acting was so devoid of believable emotion.

    I have high hopes for AC2 though, it looks better in all ways already.

      Yeah, like giving us a skip button. Not being able to skip any of the cutscenes really hinders the already low replay value.

    I was more on about how someone could talk for at least 20 minutes, throat ripped open and all, and not say a single thing worth hearing.

    Altair is an assassin, stab him to death and get the f*** out of there already!
