His outfit is amazing. I almost don't want it to be black but it'll look SICK!

Hey, I just wanted to point out a few things I've noticed during watching the demo. If anyone knows anything I don't about them, please reply. Here they are:

• At the start of the demo, when Ezio is walking around in the party, the city is at night. I noticed that after Ezio lands on the roof, it suddenly looks like it's the middle of the day.
  
• The new climbing move that you can see at 1:27(in the demo at the main website) is kind of making Ezio's animation a bit buggy. It's not as fluid as all the other animations.
  
• No blood on weapons, nor blood splashes on the floor when the enemy is struck in battle. Also, Ezio's body and clothes and his enemies body and clothes doesn't get stained in blood.
  
• The kicking move while gliding looks pretty lame to be honest. Again, it doesn't look fluid at all.
  
• The guy that the crazy priest killed didn't leave a body after the cutscene ended.
  
• The wind(while standing) doesn't effect Ezio's clothing.
  
• The hidden blades and all the showen weapons doesn't seem to interact realisticly with their victim's body at all. In some cases, when Ezio sticks a weapon inside someone's body in one place, then moves the weapon a bit without pulling it out, the enemy doesn't move with it. It creates this feeling that it's not really stuck in his body, only hovering in it. It's like the victim and the weapons aren't synchronized with each other.
  
• In general, weapons doesn't bend, break or pierce its victim's armor, helmets or body. It's like weapons doesn't really hit, only hover through them.

Just to let you know, everything I pointed out was seen by me in 3 different demos: in the main website, in sony press conference and in gamespot live demo, so it's pretty much a sure bet that something's wrong in these particular cases.
Anyway, I just hope Ubisoft wont screw this one up with its 450 people staff working on AC2, because it looks like some of them doesn't do the work as well as intended. Though I'm not judging anyone, I just hope that these things, and obviously many more that are a sure bet to exist(I only took those from 5 minutes of gameplay, think about 25 hours) gets fixed before the game launches.

the game doesnt come out for sevral months, what was show at E3 will be a early beta/alpha version so things could change alot before launch.

Hey, I just wanted to point out some completely irrelevant details I noticed during the demo:

• Sometimes we see Ezio at night, like when he was using the glider. Then we see Ezio during the day, when he's doing another assassination(since it was clearly mentioned that the glider would be used on a mission to prevent an assassination and so we're talking about two different missions here. But whatever). Some time must have passed between those two events but even after close inspection Ezio had no stubble. Shouldn't he have a stubble by now?
  
• Before the mission when he uses the glider, Ezio does not use the bathroom at any time. Yet he is about to use a glider for a certain amount of time. He's probably scared. It would be more realistic to let him use the bathroom first.
  
• Also, Ezio does not seem to eat, sleep or change clothes. He should have a home where we can go do all that stuff with him.
  
• Animals were nowhere to be seen. Didn't Italian people have animals back then? I mean, you even have animals in the Settlers! The game really should feature stray cats, dogs and chickens otherwise it's going to be a complete failure.
  
• Some buildings were made of a kind of stone that could clearly not be found in Italy back at the time. It would have to have been imported from China for those buildings to exist like that. You better change them.
  
• The people in the game were not speaking Italian all the time. Sometimes they spoke English. Why is that? That's not very realistic.
  
• After the fireworks went off, the sparks fell down on the people but nobody seemed to mind. They all just continued dancing. I dunno, maybe it's because they're video game people and not real people but this really should be changed.
  
• Also there were houses around the place where the ball was being held. Why did no neighbours complain about the noise?
  
• At some point during the demo you could clearly see that some of the plants outside the verandas of the buildings were the flowers that grow from potatoes when you plant them. But back then potatoes had not been brought back to Europe yet. Sersiously, are Ubisoft taking us for idiots?
  
• The night sky was not well animated. You could not clearly recognize any constellations in it. Instead it just seems that Ubisoft randomly put stars in it. This is unacceptable.
  
• The people's nostrils and lashes were not animated enough. Actually, they were hardly animated at all.
  
• And finally, when the demo starts you can see the camera flying over a canal to the place where Ezio is sitting. Whose point of view is this? Some omnipresent god or something? Ridiculous.

Really Ubisoft, what are you doing with the hundreds of people you employ? This game is going to be totally unacceptable if it is released like that. You better get back to work.

Well FYTJ, I have to disagree with three things. First, why should he use the bathroom? It's not a sims game, If Ubisoft added those features the game it would be a BIT boring. You wanna do a mission... but wait... you have to pee. xD. That's my opinion.

Second, it's very likely that the neighbours were at that party... and besides... even if they complained nothing could be done, no one would care as they would care today.

And third, The people were not speaking Italian all the time is the same reason people in AC1 were not talking arabic or French all the time, they had to talk english. Why? Well like Lucy told Desmond, "I could make it more authentic, but you don't understand crap of old time english and arabic and French and Jibberish(I added a few things, what she said is close... >_>" after Desmond asked why they were always talking english.

@FYTJ: Ha.

One thing i noticed but isnt a big deal is that Ezio's sword just hangs on the side of his waist. It doesn't look like it has a sheath. I hope they add it in the final version of the game. Anyways the game looks awesome regardless!

Just throwing this out there, but I think FYTJ was being sarcastic. X-Tor16 you were nitpicking. Complaining about little tiny details that shouldn't even matter and will most likely be fixed in the released version.

if we are nit picking again, minus FYTJ's post since its a joke and a funny one. i would like to re-bring up the cloak, if any devs are reading please give juuust a tad bit more weight to it, it seems waaay too light as is.

I also bet she finds every1 taking it serious quite funny

Seriously lol. Why are people nitpicking!? The game doesn't even come out for almost half a year! This was the first trailer/demo released for it. Just sit back and enjoy it.

To be honest, I didn't really read all of FYTJ's post, I was watching Modern Warfare 2 live at the time. When I read it in its fullest, I understad that it wasn't serious.
Although, from the very few I did read, she actually had a few good points, so I thought it's serious. Like animals that might be nice if they would exist.

On the night-day change. That was one of the new features actually, the night-day cycle. You can see that when Ezio is in the rooftop the angle of the shadows change angle very quickly as if time is passing super quickly.

I think it makes more sense for the game to take place in 1486 (instead of 1476; unless the game takes place over several years) because that's closer to the events Ubi want to portray in the game. Also it would give historical figures a much better age. Leonardo would now be around 34 and Machiavelli about 16. Makes much more sense. Glad they changed it.

If you watched the IGN demo just before they said that what you saw in the demo is actually not in the game. It is a demo created SPECIFICALLY for E3. So everyone who is crying about the day-night sequences dont worry its not going to be like that in the game it was merely like that in the demo to show off the change in time.

^Amen, brother
