At Microsoft's X06 conference yesterday, Ubisoft took the stage and demoed live Assassin's Creed gameplay for the first time. This is the same gameplay we actually saw at E3 and at GC06. One thing that does seem to have improved since then is that the crowds seem much busier than they were before. I'm still not terribly fond of the fighting at the end, though: when you're facing thirty guys, twenty nine of those guys aren't going to sit on the outskirts doing the ha-cha-cha while you systematically disembowel them one by one.
