Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

As you may have already seen on G4 tonight, here's some footage of Assassin's Creed in action. The video shows off some of the ways you'll be dealing with crowds, using the city's architecture to your advantage, and some of the moves you'll get to use in combat situations. Something to note is just how much freedom this game gives the player in terms of how missions are carried out and completed. The best part, however, is getting to listen to Jade Raymond's voice for five and a half minutes.

Oh, and pay no attention to the mysterious floating bodies. (Fix it, Ubisoft!)

The chick from Beyond Good and Evil is in this game?

Sir-G

I can't help wanting to call it Ass Ass N's Creed! Im tired now.

Sir-G

I like they way dev's always talk about advanced AI and crowd interaction and then go do something like DIVE OFF A BUILDING AND LAND INTO A CART OF HAY while the "advanced" ai pays no mind. Thats realism for ya!

Justice

the bales of hay didn't move at all did they?

emotaku

Where's my Jade Raymond gamer picture?

Brass

That nervous laugh with the floating body is pretty priceless. Still, amazing looking game. Can't wait. This Christmas season is looking ridiculously good.

cbre88x

Oh okay..so I wasn't going insane when I saw that.

Aevalad

The best part about the floating body was how as soon as the guy playing saw it he just fucking did anything to get it out of the shot ASAP.

Axle

Hmmm. I'm not impressed by this or Halo 3. Am I becoming a tired gamer? However GTA IV looks like a decent sequel and I'm looking forward to Bioshock.

Tron Knotts

Grand Theft Auto:Jerusalem?

I don't understand the appeal of this game at all. But I never liked history.

s0lesurviv0r

I wonder if you'll be able to bust through fences like Vic Mackey.

Steel Frog

God this game looks brilliant.

pattern

Looks cool, could be fun. And as hinted on previously I'm sure there's a twist in there soemwhere. Btw. seeexy voice mmmmm.

Extreme_Drunk

There's obviously something they're hiding about the game. The targeting system looked like a digital overlay and there were a few other "white glitches" happening in the world.

Game looks amazing in terms of gameplay alone though. Can't wait to get my hands on Jad....er, the game.

Milhouse

Look still very interesting. I was wondering however what were the Matrix-y glitches on the characters.

BigPopaGamer

Ubisoft has been hinting that there is more going on with this game then the simple idea of an Assassin in Jerusalem. I'm thinking a training sim or something similar. Either way the game looks great. Graphics are truly next gen(for the most part) and with three months left they should be able to fix all the bugs in it. Although I wasn't too impressed with the NPC models, not enough variety there, every woman with a pot looked the same. Also the movement's of Altair looked a little under emphasized, like I could barely tell he was leaping those distances. All in all though I am excited about this game and am looking forward to adding it to my collection. At least it's a sandbox world that isn't a GTA knockoff.

Corncobtacular

Looks good, but it also looks like it has a lot of bugs to fix

TheRob91

Jade Raymond...I cant think of what else to say.

glandseck

The AI is *meant* to ignore you when you jump in those.
The jar carriers were changed a little while ago but the animation wasn't updated, they aren't supposed to do such an ugly bump like that. As for the floating body, it's a known bug and will be fixed soon. There's another bug that got in there but most people hasen't seemed to notice, thank goodness.

DrXym

I thought the game concept is excellent, the sheer size and variety of the city very impressive, the combat system looked weird, and the crowd control and incidental effects pretty rubbish. Worst of all was the assassin's voice which sounded American and therefore totally out of place.

It really looked a bit of a mixed bag. It reminded me most of GTA but set in the Middle East.

Twosixteen

Did anyone else HATE the "digital" targeting and strobes? Seems so very unnecessary. Takes you right out of the atmosphere that they've built up.

MATTFOO

this game looks amazing..

Yooree

Best floating body evar.

908peruvian

I HOPE THEY KEEP HER NERVOUS LAUGH IN THE GAME
WHENEVER A GLITCH HAPPENS...

No it is during the crusades.

skAnarky

to Twosixteen: I felt so for a very brief time, then realized that plot can be a huge part of that atmosphere, so when the plot device behind all this digital aethetics comes to light, I think you will actually be pretty engrossed in it. Right now it seems out of place because we dont know why its there, its not there just for kicks, there has to be a reason for it.

TheBrain

The chase was really sweet. I also dislike the strange target lock. The floating body was pretty funny but to be expected for a game at this stage of development. Also, Jade's voice is music.

Anthony Burch

Firstly, I am in complete agreement with 908peruvian. I'm tempted to record the Raymond nervous laugh and use it for all my Windows system errors.

Secondly, did the little futuristic overlay thing seem a little irritating to anyone else? It seemed like it showed up damn near all the time, from when the demo guy was looking at someone to combat to when he was just climbing up a ladder.

And, of course, weird AI.

That said, though, I've still got a boner for this game.

Sharpless

Anthony, if you record that laugh, please post an mp3. Do want.

And, coincidentally, I was also just about to comment that I still have a huge boner for this game. I'm a picky gamer and it takes a lot to get me really excited and interested in a game, and this one is pushing all the right buttons.

Promagnum

Never realized how linear the fighting/combat was, let's hope it's not as Dragon's Lair'ish as it's starting to look.

Love the "awesome" at 4:11, very enthusiastic.

RRDelay

You all do know that the game is based off a guy reading into the past and such right..yeah.. so future crap may be a good thing with this story

"You all do know that the game is based off a guy reading into the past and such right..yeah.. so future crap may be a good thing with this story" - RRDelay

That is what I heard. It has to do with needing to stop an assassination in a current time so they go back through time in order to see how assassins think and operate. I believe it is done through some sort of genetics or mind study on an individual who is of an assassin lineage.

More than likely we will see various civilizations throughout the game.
