Filed under both the "frowny face" and "umm, duh?" news categories is confirmation from Ubisoft that there will be
no Assassin's Creed sequel releasing in 2008.
Laurent Detoc, the uber rich president of Ubisoft North America, told Forbes that "
there's no new 'Assassin's Creed' this year, despite its sales success," but that "when we bring it back, there will be more anticipation for it." And even though you're semi-sad about the news, it isn't like you expected to be assassinating in 2008 anyway ... right? Don't kid yourself kiddo.

Wasn't expecting it, but I am excited for part 2. I hope they build on what was lacking in the original. Super fun game.

The first game was good but slightly irritating...firstly, They made it way to easy for people to know your an assassin, it keeps you on your toes, but irritates the crap out of you when you are galloping on a horse...or simply running...however I still cant help myself from anxiously waiting for the second game...the kill tactics were amazing, and the plot was genius...

Well I'm already uber excited for the next one but I didn't expect a new one this year anyway , roll on '09.

Perhaps there taking their time to fit more flags into the game.
Or they could shock me and add in some actual content that's fun. Not to bash it to much but for an open world, it sucked once the 8 missions was done it was downhill from there.

We need a good 9months of hype, otherwise we wont be disappointed enough by the final product.
For a free-running game, it has less free-running than Crackdown.

Hopefully they are using the extra time to make it fun.
I couldn't make myself play through the entire first one.
Not even for the cheevos...THE CHEEVOS!

2009? I can wait I'm not that excited for it. I just hope its not as repetitive as the first one...

Gives me plenty of time to go back and finish the first one.

Still have to buy the first one. Definately on my watch list for now, though.

The only things I want added are more of a variety on investigation techniques and co-op/multiplayer.
Hopefully it hits Q3 2009 though.
