Clean-up and odd fact.

Considering the lack of sources and such, this is a good article. But, it needs: Citations in the plot section, more development stuff, someone with Game Informer Magazine to post the stuff coming April 16. Also, has anyone noticed that the Venetian Carnival article has a section on the maskmakers having a statue dated 10 April 1436, which is the day (april 10) that Ubisoft released a whole bunch of info on AC2. And 1436 is around the time the game takes place in. Isn't that trippy? (sorry to be so informal on a talk page but yeah) GroundZ3R0 002 (talk) 01:42, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at other dates from the same article (Venetian Carnival), I'm guessing the final release date for the game will be either: October 5th - December 25th, or January 18th, 2010. This is nowhere near official, but I'm just going on a hunch. GroundZ3R0 002 (talk) 01:47, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone with the Game Informer article you say? ~~http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2815/ac2sdi.jpg~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk) 21:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for posting that scan, I see Rome will also be include in the game. TriiipleThreat (talk) 12:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio link

I've removed the reference linking to the ImageShack scan of the article. This is a copyvio, and should not be used as a reference. I've updated the article to refer to the actual Game Informer magazine (if someone could include the ISBN or some more details in the reference, that would be great). ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 08:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

da Vinci quote

"Our life is made by the death of others"

Leonardo da Vinci

I've removed this quote box from the main article because I don't really think it is necessary. I'm sure there are lots of da Vinci quotes that could be attributed to this game, considering the game is based around his time - choosing a particular one (without any sourcing of relevance) could be seen as being biased perhaps? ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 21:38, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is the quote used by the GameInformer article, but I don't know that it adds anything to the entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.171.57 (talk) 22:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if it is used in the Game Informer article, there might be some merit to including it. If someone can correctly source the quote for me (I don't have access to the article) then it could be re-included. ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 22:34, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No there is no need to include it. It adds no meaning to the article. --SkyWalker (talk) 02:05, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

April 16....Now What?

The words that appear at the end of the teaser 4/16/09 are mentioned.. Well, its 4/16 and does anybody know what happened? noooo.. either nothing DID happen, or something that idk happened which needs to be posted in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.191.166.233 (talk) 23:59, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Game Informer mag hit stores, new trailer, 5th symbol was unlocked, yesterday and today postcards of venice saying "Happy birthday Da vinci and a window shaped as the AC symbol were sent to game companies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.176.99.188 (talk) 01:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Release Date

In order to prevent an edit war, I purpose we leave date as set by edit by JGXenite since it is cited until a more accurate date can be refrenced. TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:22, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is if you can convince everyone else that keeps changing it to "Q4" and "December" to leave it alone... ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 15:37, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you guys SURE that theres no specific release date? idk myself, but it would be more helpful if everyone did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.191.166.233 (talk) 00:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Real?

Is that the REAL box art for the upcoming game because it doesnt really seem like it but if its the only one we got then...--69.203.28.14 (talk) 21:38, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is the box art from Amazon.com - Amazon.co.uk shows slightly different box art. However, there hasn't been any official confirmation of these box arts. ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 22:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Producer

Read that Sebastien Puel was the new producer, but I'm wondering if this is relevant: http://www.gamernode.com/news/6401-will-jade-raymond-return-for-assassins-creed-2/index.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.193.197 (talk) 23:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's really only relevant as a speculative piece regarding her return. Until we receive some proper evidence indicating her return, we should leave it off. ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 08:24, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jade Raymond IS the Executive Producer for Assassins Creed 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez9mPOHFYDY 24.176.99.188 (talk) 22:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And Sebastien Paul is a producer, http://www.gamersyde.com/news_7711_en.html 24.176.99.188 (talk) 22:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube isn't a valid source. However, I've added in Sebastien as the producer per the source you provided. ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 08:29, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.bild.de/BILD/digital/spiele/ubisoft/artikel/assassins-creed-2/actionspiel.html that work? 24.176.99.188 (talk) 22:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy

There was no reference as to creating obstructions in the streets, so i have deleted that sentence —Preceding unsigned comment added by God Of Irony2012 (talk • contribs) 11:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine - we don't really need notifying if you removed unsourced content. ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 11:20, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why Is This Here?

"All five symbols have now been given by Ubisoft and Game Informer.[7]" This doesn't add any value to the article. Why is this even important? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.97.193.197 (talk) 23:15, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So the loserific gamers who are obssessed with Assassins Creed will now know that their presious symbols have been released (so they can now screw around with them on the AC2 website).

Ten Fingers?

This is more of a discussion question (seeing as this is the discussion page), but has anyone noticed that Ezio has all ten fingers? Is that significant to the plot or a mistake done with early box art? Plus, isn't Ezio a little too... wealthy looking to be considered a minor peasant or monk? If any of these things can be supported, it would help add to the background that this article so desperately needs
