Today in London in a HMV store on Oxford Street, a public demo of Assassin's Creed was shown by none other than the producer for the game herself, Jade Raymond. Whilst the demo shown was one that has been shown before, everyone who turned up got some free swag, Jade's autograph, and best of all, a go on Assassin's Creed. And I was there, right at the front :D
I hate to brag... well ok I love to brag about something like this, but I am one of six people who were the very first members of the public in the UK to play Assassin's Creed :D Hate me if you must :P I also got a poster signed by Jade, and an Official hoody :D
I only got to play on it for like 5 minutes, if that, so I barely had time to register the fact that 'OMFG I'M PLAYING ASSASSIN'S CREED!!! :O'. But I did do some free-running which was awesome, assassinate a helpless guard which was awesome, and almost get killed by a group of guards, which, ah the hell with it, was also awesome. Right before we played Jade gave us a little talk on how the controls work, just her talking to the 6 of us... I felt so privileged :)

OMG IT'S ME!! With Jade :D Unfortunately not even having Jade in the picture can make a picture with me in it look good.

Good for you.
Why the xbot version?
Rade

I can't remember the reason they gave now, but Jade insisted that the Xbox and PS3 versions are exactly the same in every way.

Nice hoodie. She gets way way too much credit as is though.
Rade
Oct 27 2007, 11:47 PM
Well as I've been nearly obsessed with this game since it was announced and watched every interview with Jade in, in my eyes she's just as famous as any T.V celebrity or whatever, so I'm just very happy I got to meet her.

Lucky... Only interesting thing I did was realizing one of my friends as one of the best Halo players Microsoft actually recognized if not mentioned. O.o No autographs of course. Man, you'd kill me for my not knowing much about Assassin's Creed. You're still lucky though. :dance:

Nope no handshakes although I should've done after she signed my poster. Still, it was enough just to stand next to her and talk to her :)

:lol: We shall shout it from every corner of the world! 15 (nearly 14) Days until a beautiful death! :D
As for the hoodie, this is a long shot, but if you go here www.1191ad.co.uk, you can sign up for the official Assassin's Creed community site. If you do the missions and get in the mods good books, you can earn lots of points and go up in rank, and once you have enough points and are at rank 3, you can exchange the points for a hoodie, or even a t-shirt! Or a pen with a light that projects the AC logo! Or an official Xbox 360 AC faceplate! *drools*

Lawlz. My friend kept on asking me if I was suicidal or homicidal. But he knew I was talking about Assassin's Creed. :D Y'know what, I should shout "14 days until a beautiful death" in the P.E. locker rooms...:shifty: All those girls already think I'm weird.
Whoa...you expect me to work that hard just to get a hoodie/t-shirt/pen with a light that projects the AC logo??? :D Kidding. I doubt I'd be able to do that. I won't even be able to play the game for a looong time. :'( If only I had enough money for a PS3. >_<

Even though the game had gone Gold when they did the demo, they were showing us a build that wasn't final, since there were things they didn't want us to see. But I didn't encounter or see any bugs at all while I was playing or during the demo I watched, it was clean as a whistle :D

Awesome :D. Sounds alot better than what happened with the 360 demo, floating corpses, terrible collision etc etc. Is the free running as fricking awesome as expected? Does it have as much freedom as it should? /interview
