A Flurry of New Videos From Ubisoft

Ubisoft [1]MontrealUbisoft [1] has released several new videos over the past few days on two channels. To watch the latest Assassin’s Creed 2 [2] Lineage short movies, head over to the Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed UK channel [3] for the English versions. If you want to watch the complete movie [4] at one go, it has been released as a 35 minute film, also on the UK channel. To recount the story thus far, assassin Giovanni Auditore is tasked with investigating the plot behind the murder of the Duke of Milan. The answers he uncovers implicate Italy’s most powerful families, and not surprisingly, the evil plot reaches all the way to the Vatican. As Giovanni draws closer to the truth, he too becomes hunted. Now he must not only unravel the threads which lead to the conspirators, he must protect his family. Speaking of family, I may have to show the short movie to my Mother, so that she can see that there is much more to the games I play than just murder, mayhem and blowing things up. I’ve been a gamer for …several… years now, and she still doesn’t “get it” so maybe Lineage will help – at least a little.

There has also been a new dev diary for Avatar the Game [5] released. Viewers can watch and learn more about Avatar in the Na’vi Gameplay Walkthrough video [6] with Executive Producer Patrick Naud.

Other recent video releases include an Achievements video for Shaun White Snowboarding World Stage [7] and a new Splinter Cell: Convictions [8] “Behind Closed Doors” dev video called Create A Hero [9].  If you missed Behind Closed Doors Part 1 – Redefining Splinter Cell, you can watch it here [10].  I may have to pick up the Splinter Cell Convictions novel [11] to read so that I’m more up to speed when Convictions comes out on February 25 2010.  Release timing for this game is excellent – with new titles from Ubisoft and Bioware [12], I will have loads to do while waiting out the Olympic mayhem that will be occurring on the other side of the Port Mann Bridge during the same time period.
