E3: Assassin's demo rushed because of Bungie

The Assassin's Creed conference demo was rushed because Bungie couldn't get a single-player Halo 3 demo ready in time, CVG hears.

Apparently the reason Jade Raymond and her accomplice had a few issues with the live playable demo (that was a bit buggy in places) was that the Montreal development studio had to rush to get something ready for the show as the request of Microsoft. This apparently happened because Bungie couldn't get a playable demo of Halo 3's single-player campaign ready to show in time.

1 - Love Bungie or...

Blame Bungie? Oh please Ubisoft now don't start pointing to one of the best developers in the industry because you can't make any games without any bugs!

Proof of your inability to make bug free games are in all places, look at GRAW 1 & 2 and Rainbow 6: Vegas.

The Assasins Creed demo was no different I bet that it will also have bugs and glitches in the final game - Ubisofts new motto 'We love bugs!'

@ LSDARBY look mate you used to be on my friends list on LIVE and I know first hand from what you told me that you dont know much about the PS3 or even the 360 in all the technical stuff and here you slagging me off at any chance you get?

Only a fanboy would talk like how you do and I know you to be one.

I clearly said ONE OF THE BEST I did not say they are the BEST meaning they are only the developer in the industry to be no.1

Ubisoft has become similar to EA but imo worse.

1.4 - Bungie is one of the best.

Halo was a whole generation ahead of the competition and happened to be an great game, too. The scale and technical achievements in Halo were larger than any other developer of the last console generation. At lease concede that Bungie is in the top 10.

If Bungie is one of the best devs, it's because of Myth II : Soulblighter.

Forget Halo 3, I'd rather see Myth 3.

So the footage we've seen of Halo 3 isn't actually "pubic demo worthy". The video itself feels somewhat rushed together, so I can believe that. I think Bungie should do their own thing at their own pace. And I don't blame Microsoft for putting pressure on Bungie, I blame all the legion of unreasonable gamers who would have moaned if Bungie hadn't shown anything. Hopefully, Bungie will be honest about it and elaborate in their next weekly update (if it's even true).

And as for Assassin's Creed, well, like I said before, it's just a couple of glitches, give them a break.

I never understood people's interest in AC anyways. Knowing the many titles developed by Ubisoft that failed to entertain me, I never expected anything great out of it, and in that respect, the demo did not disappoint.

I'm still going to rent it, though. Maybe. Wait, it comes out when? Nevermind...

I've long suspected (but hoped I was wrong) that Bungie might be neglecting the single player game in favour of multiplayer. I couldn't give a rats arse about multiplayer (unless its coop) I'd nuch rather they concentrated on getting the single player right first.

Heres hoping.

You obviously didn't read the article were they said 90% of the games production is on the campaign (I think it was 90%...). And that if you added every single multiplayer map together, it would only be a small portion of one of the small single player stages.

@whoever disagreed, please explain what it is about my comment that you disagree with...I'm quoting Bungie, noty my opinion.

Yes that demo by Ubisoft did not go as they would have hoped.

But blaming Bungie for not having a Halo 3 Single player Demo? That just sounds like someone in the industry made that up to save face.

For one Halo 3 comes out in September 25, if the single player version of the game is not already done then trust me it's not coming out in September. (sept. is only one month away) At this point they should just be bug tweaking.

So saying that Bungie couldn't get a demo together sounds like a good excuse for Ubisoft.

Its July 13, and the game ships September 25...right? But my math (some one please check if im right, cause Im plain stupid)thats 74 days, or about a month and a half....but even then your right, its going to be very tight if they couldn't get a demo together for a JULY e3......oh well, looks like I might have to wait a little lone to play teh Halo 3 (in all honesty it is the game Im looking foword to the most)

Don't really care about bugs in presentation demos. I mean, they have time enough to polish the game for the release.

This is why they changed E3 in the first place. The developers don't like to show off games that they are working on because it's not going to show what the game will be like. It's only going to show what's wrong with it in the early stages. Plus why couldn't Bungie get a demo out they had the beta all up and running so what's hard about slapping that on for a demo?

there is a difference Bungie is busy, making the game prettier, and polished, they just didn't have time to put a demo together, because their busy finshing up Halo 3.

The people who played it behind closed doors said it played and looked like sex

If you watch the press conference of Microsoft, Raymond laughs off a scene where a body floats in mid-air in the demo.

In an event that has so much preparation and rehearsals, you'd think Ubisoft would know the game was glitchy, and probably felt safe with the "work in progress" sign.

They probably didn't expect the ridicule so they looked to blame Bungie.

Lame Ubisoft lame

I don't care about all the naggin... I'm just happy we will see alot of great games hittin this holiday!

Bungie made halo one of the most respected FPS in the industry by some. Buy in no way can they be considered one of the best developers in the industry. If they can make a few new IP's that aren't FPS related and get peoples respect, then you can add that tag next to their name. But you can't give a title like that to a company when you can only think of one franchise(Halo)!
