Developer Diaries are all the rage these days, not only does it give us the chance to get a glimpse of an upcoming game, but we sometimes get a sneak peek of – so far unseen footage. This is one of those occasions, in between some of the head honcho’s at Ubisoft providing context and talking about their creative processes and some previously seen CGI we do actually see some brand new gameplay footage.

Take a look see, and as usual click on the HD button if your bandwidth permits.

  1. anything to do with assassins creed is tasty


  2. This looks great. Seems like a massive improvement over the original.


  3. I hope it’s actually good this time.


  4. This game looks so good!!


  5. Aarrrgghh! Every time I push play on the video my boss walks past!
    Where’d I put my spike?


    • Flick out your hidden blades and stab him in the throat


    • haha i have exactly the same problem. so annoying.


      • It’s alright now, he’s in the next room doing star jumps.
        That can’t be right…? My eagle vision must be spakking out!


  6. I got bored of the first one fast. Never did finish it…

    Am I the only one this one isnt really appealing to?


    • Loads of people seemed to get bored of the first one. Admittedly it was a bit repetitive but I loved it.
      After I completed it I just walked around for hours wreaking havoc and spiking innocent peasants.
      The counter attack controls were pretty cool as well.


    • I think all games are repetitive – Its just whether you enjoy it or not

      CoD just walk round shooting people
      KZ2 Ditto
      Fallout 3 just walk round talking to people, and occasionally kill things
      Warhawk just get killed repeatedly
      the list goes on and on

      Assassin’s Creed was actually quite varied when compared against these great games


      • Actually, you’re right when I think about it.
        I guess you had the flags and the tower jumps stuff too. I was falling for the peer pressure and turning into a sheep!

        Although there was 1 major repetitive issue… The fact everytime you started a mission you couldn’t skip the cutscene what you’d already seen 5 billion times. That was annoying!


      • Fallout 3 is a terrible game, very boring in my opinion!

        But yeah your right. Games are mostly repetitive. There was just something about the first AC that got me really bored :|


  7. Ooh that looks nice!
    This should be a fun game :D hehe


  8. I played a mates copy of the first one off and on over a weekend and just couldn’t get into it. I kind of enjoyed it while I was playing but after I stopped, I had no desire to go back to it.


  9. Looks really good. If they’ve fixed the problem regarding repetition and also the freezing issue then I’m in for the title!


  10. Always nice to see some footage, Looking forward to this one. Hope there is a nice demo.


  11. Great footage, makes me want this game even more. :P


  12. The first one was one of the best games in existance this might just beat it


  13. i really cannot wait till this comes out :)


  14. this why i like dev diaries, so much to learn…….about the game, not in the school way…….i spit on learning….muahahaha!!


  15. At least you can watch it at work, I’m stuck with IE6 and no flash player!
