Wow, that gamestop voice was jarring after all that smooth talking.

I'm pretty sure this is all supposed to be a simulation of some kind anyways, like a training simulator within the fiction of the game

This looks sort of cool. I'm still not sold on it, but I'm definitely not completely disinterested any more.

The multi player looks as boring as the single player, and isnt this just a bunch of  "b side shit" from AC2?

Wow, this actually looks legitimately good.  Seems like they put a lot of thought into the multiplayer mechanics rather than churning out the typical overdone game modes.

Always been a huge Assasans creed fan, and the multiplayer just adds to it.

From what I can see, this is not at all intended to be about that sort of skill. The focus seems to be much more on making a stealthy approach to your target, and making a rapid escape from your hunters, each having a certain number of tactical approaches. It doesn't expect precision aiming of you in much the same way as something like GTA doesn't: the emphasis is elsewhere. You wouldn't criticize a game like Modern Warfare 2 for not having Mirror's Edge-like traversal or whatever.
 
I wonder if players are rewarded for assassinating other players who aren't their targets, if they can determine who they are, and what sort of discouragement there is from just killing everyone. I'm guessing being too visible makes you a target for everyone or something. Or perhaps you just drain points when the suspicion meter goes up.

Hmmm It'll be interesting to play and looks like fun but I can see it being a game people play online for the first few weeks but soon drops out of sight.

looke interesting but definitely need to wait for reviews and real world play because this was just a demo, a controlled showing.  I mean, how will human people actually control the characters?  Seems like the human factor will really affect the gameplay.

Granted haven't gotten to play AC2 yet but seeing all the MP characters in this I'd have preferred to see some element out of the Hitman series where in the single player you had all the costumes & needed to play the part to get close to the hit then escape. Will know more when I get to play it but that would definitely make more sense to me than MP assassin matches.

They didn't mention the most important part! The civilian NPCs are all the same character models you pick your character from, so at a distance, it's literally impossible to visually tell who's an assassin and who's the computer.
