No Assassin's Creed till early next year

Shadow2k5 | October 04, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond confirms at this year's Tokyo Game Show that the game won't be released until next year, and there isn't going to be a demo. She also promises 40+ hours of game play.
Over on Gametrailers, they've put up a video interview with Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond that took place during this year's Tokyo Game Show and she revealed that Ubisoft is not planning a demo for Assassin's Creed.

Her reasoning states, "No, we're not making a demo. The game is a more sandbox-styled game where there's a lot [to do] and [there's] not [really] a linear mission for a demo." She elaborated a little more by saying, "it's huge, there's 3 cities and there's no way to say 'ok, we're going to cut up this square of the city and give that to you as a demo.'" She went on to compare the demo situation to the lack of demos for the various Grand Theft Auto games over the years.

    You had me scared for a moment as Assassins Creed is one of the main games that I was counting for the end of this year, but the delay is only for the PC version ^^

    I don't really see why we need a demo when the games coming out in a few weeks, but it would have been nice none-the-less

    Shoot, I was hoping for a delay, because I already have to get several other games within a month period, one game being released a little later, would have saved me some money in the short term...Oh well, I guess I just won't have time to play each game as much as I'd like (I plan to get Collectors/Ltd editions you see)...

    Well at least the game will have 40+ hours of gameplay. I can wait now since it will be a long game.

    Demos give bad inpressions of games most of the time. When the DS came out, they came with a Metroid Prime demo. Many people didn't like the demo, therefore they did not get the game. There is no reason to make a demo.

    Ah, damn. This game was supposed to tie me over till DMC 4 comes out. Guuess I'll have to just wait for it with no new games as all now are boring.
