Sessler's Soapbox: Assassin's Creed Demo
Posted By: Robt. Juster - Friday, July 13, 2007 4:57 PM

Dear Internet,

Adam Sessler would like to respond to your unduly rough response to the UNFINISHED Assassin's Creed Demo.  It seems that there was some slight code glitches in the UNFINISHED game that set you off.  It would do you well to listen to the Good Doctor Sessler.  He's certainly smarter than TheFeed:

Posted by Yaffer - Friday, July 13, 2007 6:12 PM
I completely agree with Adam's view on this. if this were the release version of the game then the criticism about bugs in the game play would have merit. Also you had to notice that the presenter (Jade) noticed the flaws as well, even chuckling a few times, this is a work in progress folks! Thanks Adam.

he is right stupid sony fanboys.
Posted by Chowdizzle14 - Friday, July 13, 2007 6:48 PM
I love you Adam. I just thought to myself when I saw that "Oh thats not good." Cuz of course it sucks for anything that can be put against the game to happen.

Posted by vandam - Friday, July 13, 2007 8:48 PM
thank you sessler maybe these stupid little retards will stop crying about wether the 360 or ps3 is better especially since its coming out for both and would you really not buy the game just cause a guy floats in the air i mean that happens in some of the best games when their totally finished

Posted by mysticsamurai - Friday, July 13, 2007 9:26 PM
I totally agree. peoples attitude like this could lead to us not getting to see them until they are finished. They are still debugging it. They actually had that bug fixed moments after the conference anyway. ok anyway, xbox is winning me over... I'm still just so concerned about the failure rate, I would liked to hear more about what they plan on doing about this.
Posted by live4thepackers - Friday, July 13, 2007 9:46 PM
he's totally right, that doesnt mean it isnt a little funny to see it happen, i mean it's rare to see a game glitch up like that and us consumers are a little surprised because we dont see it coming

Posted by SoundlessMage - Saturday, July 14, 2007 5:40 AM
Agreed with entirely. I am one who feels the pre released game video; any game, must be considered as an unfinished product. No one judges a work of art before it is done. Then again not many artists release their work before it is complete.

I'm not worried. Studios will have to "put up or shut up", if you will. As expensive as games are, they need to perform well at trade shows. Deliver or fold.

It's that simple.
Posted by Ghostm - Saturday, July 14, 2007 8:34 AM
Adam,

You're one of the reaest person on G4 man. Without you, I have no idea what G4 would do. LOL

I just saw the vid with you talking about Assassin's Creed. You are absolutely right dude.
Posted by unbias - Saturday, July 14, 2007 10:08 AM
I think people were just making issues out of it for the attention and because its being published by UBI.

Posted by AngryGumball - Saturday, July 14, 2007 1:03 PM
Seriously Adam Eat a rotten egg and shut up.
Assassin's Creed was shown at E3 2006 its now E3 2007 The game should have been released or finished. Listen to the own Demo girl make funny sounds as the game glitches all over the place, Stop defending these Game Developers with the shotty demos.

Perhaps they should build the game then market the hell out of it instead of building pre-hype where people like you and your station g4tv keep talkinga about the same thing over and over and stop acting like your the only outsource of information about E3 you arrogant pricks.
Posted by AngryGumball - Saturday, July 14, 2007 1:11 PM
Plus if it were shown at their own booth it would be less of a deal, but Ubisoft made Mircosoft look like ass by having it be a bad demo at the Microsoft Press Conference.

If anything talks about refinement and trying to smoothe over any flaws its the press conference where they are trying to show an image of how great they own the world not how glitchy things are, not in such a showcase event.

Amazing how much you are a shille Adam.

Bravo Sessler Bravo. You people need to seriously shut up about glitches in an UN-finished product.
Posted by FanFromPlanetX_Play - Saturday, July 14, 2007 5:33 PM
Amen.
Posted by MeanBob91 - Saturday, July 14, 2007 6:00 PM
Thank you, Adam! Before I actually start, Adam was one of my most favorite people ever since Gamespot TV and Extended Play. Now that the channel is G4, I don't get to watch the shows he's in now, which sucks. Anyway enough of that.

Now let me start.

Sometimes I have to always tell people this all the time when they first see a game when it's still in development.

They have to always criticize something when, of course, there's a small problem when the game is still being worked on.

Look at Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 for example. The VERY early screenshots of that game that got released on the Web when it was still being ported, looked bad. People then criticized things like "See! I toldya this game wouldn't run on PS2!" Next thing y'know, when the release date was coming, videos and screenshots got released and EVERYTHING was improved. It was hard to believe that RE4 was being run on the PS2.

People need to get this through their heads: IT'S STILL IN DEVELOPMENT!
Posted by severetwenty8 - Saturday, July 14, 2007 8:05 PM
he is right...most demos (or all demos) don't look good as the real game and don't have the glitches the demo has. if everyone knew this then more games would sell because they would know the real game is 20X better and better looking
Posted by LM1213 - Saturday, July 14, 2007 8:37 PM
you know what. as long as I have been playing games when I saw that I wasnt like oh that sucks oh its the worse thing ever it will ruin the thing. it happens sometimes i didnt think it was the end of the world, the game still looked great and fun to play. it wasnt even that big of a deal
Posted by icedbirdman - Sunday, July 15, 2007 8:02 AM
Adam is right and why do all the people think that this game is an Xbox exclusive!!! If the xbox version is not finished what do you think about the PS3!!!!
Posted by okcomputer1982 - Sunday, July 15, 2007 12:35 PM
Excellant point Sess. Video games are that rare media that even if you see and hear the results, you just don't really know what it is like until you experence it from begining to end. Really even just looking at a COMPLETED game does not give you licence on how good it is. Insightful looks like this at the nature of games as a media is why I always turn to you and morgan for my gaming news. Peace.
Posted by jakal8901 - Sunday, July 15, 2007 1:30 PM

Posted by AngryGumball - Sunday, July 15, 2007 4:53 PM
Meh, you people fail to understand the purpose of the Microsoft Showing.

But Congrats for accepting the fact that Assassin's Creed has now been shown at TWO E3's.

I can't wait to see the reactions of console gamers to downloading patches for their games!

Trust me, as a PC gamer you'll see bugs & glitches in a whole new light...

I agree with Adam. We should feel lucky that we're allowed to see and play demos of games and if people can't handle that then we'll lose that privilege. Besides, I doubt if they'd put that much effort into the game and then just leave such an obvious bug.

"Besides, I doubt if they'd put that much effort into the game and then just leave such an obvious bug."

I have my doubts. I've seen nothing from devs anymore that make me think it won't have huge, obvious bugs in it. Sigh, but I guess that's what having online consoles affords us: patches for console games.

You tell 'em Sess! Just because there are a few glitches in this UNFINISHED demo, people are going all Psycho on Ubisoft. Ubi has a reputation for excellent games. Don't count them out of anything!
Posted by metfan86 - Monday, July 16, 2007 6:57 PM
At least Ubi showed a playable demo. I was really dissapointed in several games that only showed trailers or cutscenes (Halo 3, MGS 4) and everyone gushing over them. Yet most people wanted to act "meh" about the playable demos that were shown because of what system it is on. I have a 360 and don't really have a reason to get PS3 right now (maybe Haze later), but that dosen't mean I can't enjoy watching the playable demos of Killzone 2 and Heavenly Sword. Look, E3 was all about great next gen games from ALL of the systems and we need to stop bashing and enjoy the next few months.
Posted by zachgk12 - Monday, July 16, 2007 9:07 PM
That's exactly right. People look for anything possible to complain about. But when the big name publishers stop showing demos because they are getting bad critics those same people that complained will get pissed off and wander why. Suck it up and wait to see the finished product.
Posted by PWNyousir1 - Tuesday, July 17, 2007 11:23 AM
The game is awesome, so why would people care if there is one or two glitches. It wasn't even that glitchy so why care. You tell em' Adam. You rule!
Posted by Duffman42 - Friday, August 03, 2007 11:42 PM
Thank you, Adam. I agree 100%, as I usually do. If the game isn't finished, you should EXPECT bugs or glitches.
