You'd better sit down...

[highpass]

...because there's a chance we'll have a demo next month. Do note the bold bit.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Ubisoft's Jade Raymond revealed some tasty new bits of info regarding Assassin's Creed, one of the Xbox 360's most anticipated titles. First and foremost, a demo is evidently planned for next month, though the article makes it unclear whether this will be an Xbox Live Marketplace demo or a public demonstration. Of course, we'd be excited about either, but just a twinge more excited about a playable demo. Raymond also refuses to comment on theories around the game's plot elements, though Veronica Mars fans already know the full story.

Raymond does reveal that helping certain people in the game will net players several new strategic options. Previously, we heard about helping monks in order to gain their help in later missions. Apparently this extends to other groups. Apparently, each group will inhabit different areas of a city, allowing players to utilize them during escapes. For example, save village women from military abuse, and their husbands will block guards that chase you. All you have to do is remember where these men live when you're making your escape.

Finally, remember the leap of faith that ended the recent trailer? That is a move taken directly from the game, though conceivably a player would know where he was going to land. In context, a player might climb a tall building to evade capture and then leap off the top into a bale of hay. When guards finally make it to the top of the building, the player will seem to have disappeared.

All in all, it sounds like great stuff. Here's hoping we do see a demo next month.

[tenaciousdave]

I would kick my mom in the face with a dirty boot for that demo.

[Exane22]

I just want something new for AC on the market place, i can only watch the same video so many times. Please just bring something (fingers crossed)

[HotScott92]

I really really REALLY hope there is going to be a demo like in the next month, because if they release right before the actual release, then there is not a point....good find by the way!:)

[Cordes]

A demo would be really sweet, this is the game I've been waiting for the longest. I want the demo NOW!

[SengIV]

Yeah! A demo for the greatest game of all time!

[Conker Rules All]

I'm not quite so sure about that. I mean, it looks great, but not that great.

[veritas347]

i cant wait for this game i think i might just have to put myself in a coma and have them wake me up out of it the day before the demo comes out...ive been waiting for this game since like november of 05

[Exane22]

I hear that, feels like its been forever since i first heard about this game. When the day comes that this finally comes out im not going to know what to do with myself. Ill probably be staring at my CE going "Mmmm Shiny" for hours before i actually thing about playing :D

[Apocobring]

I used to wake up in the mornings and wonder why i woke up that day...that was until I heard this game is soming out. I can't wait for it - did we ever get any more news on the demo?

[Ult1ma Weap0n]

This is the best news i've heard in weeks. I've been obsessed with this game since i found out in was going to be on 360 and not just ps3. They had a playable demo at E3 so hopefully its like that one.

[Graham31004]

Has anyone found out if it's going to be a playable demo or not?

[Adam Miller]

I would be annoyed if not playable. One of the many anticipated games i am waiting to pick up. :)

[icedtea]

a demo of this game on xbl marketplace would be great. i am still on the fence about if i will buy this game

[Exane22]

Are you serious, its games like assassins creed that you bought your 360 for. Its next gen at its finest man.

[RedstaR]

I would be annoyed if not playable. One of the many anticipated games i am waiting to pick up. :)

Agreed, very annoyed =P.

Hopefully this game will live up to it's hype.. I'm looking forward to climbing the walls of Jerusalem

[XxLUC41xX]

i still want to get it still looks really good graphics r going to be amazing

[icedtea]

Are you serious, its games like assassins creed that you bought your 360 for. Its next gen at its finest man.

i probably will get the game it is just that it will be released in november and i will have already bought like five game in a two month span and will be tight on money with christmas coming up so i just might have to wait till christmas to play it

[JJ UK]

This game, along with GTA IV is at the very top of my list, wow a playable demo would be soo sweet

[Anti HERO 574]

yay! i hope there will be a demo for this game

it looks sick and i cant wait for it!

wonder what the achievements will be?

[Gorjira]

I think they will bring out a demo, it may just be the trailer we saw at E3. That would be good enough...Have a sneak peak at the controls and what the game has to offer.

[Daggermn]

I can't wait for this game. This game looks bad ass. A demo of this game would be great too. I would love to get a feel for how this game plays. They could do it in such a way that it wouldn't give away any major spoilers. I really wish this game is free roam. It would still kick ass if it is level based, but it would be way better being free roam like Oblivion.

[Barrthnine]

I can't wait! The Leap of Faith looks pretty sweet and the aid that the other people give you gives you a definite motivation to explore the cities and do all the side quests. This game looks like its going to eat up a lot of my hours this fall and winter.

[carnage_06]

omg omg omg Assassin's Creed comes out for me in like a week and a bit same with so many AWESOME titles im going to end up being a poor poor kid :(

[sandollor]

I would kick my mom in the face with a dirty boot for that demo.

OMFG, so wrong and yet, so funny. This is shit your pants funny. :drunk

[Gorjira]

Please...Dont bump old topics with your opinions.

[KingGotenW]

a demo would only make me wanna buy the game even more!

[DropDeadArtemus]

I'm getting to the point where I'm done with demos. I'll wait till the full release to check it out.

Im with you. This game releases in what... two weeks? i think i can make gh3 and COD4 tie me over til then. dont wont to ruin any plot elements with a demo.
