Sony PS3 NYC Launch Event Recap

We came. We stuffed ourselves with Twinkies. And we played a few rounds of Resistance (the game rocks). If you weren't able to get to Sony's Play Beyond event in NYC, our fearless videographer Richard Blakeley braved the masses and shot some sweet PS3 footage for you. The games for the most part looked awesome (we especially liked the rain visuals in F1 Championship where you can see each rain drop smear the screen as you race through the track). Other titles shown were Call of Duty 3, MotorStorm, and Heavenly Sword. And for the record, those white bubbly chair/pods you see cost $9,000 a pop. No wonder Sony could only afford to feed us Twinkies and Ho-Hos. – Louis Ramirez

Assassin’s Creed Q&A

GamePro: What was the inspiration for Assassin’s Creed?

Jade Raymond - Producer: Patrice Desilets our Creative Director as well as some other key members of our Creative team read a book about the Assassins and then started to do a lot of research about the clan and the 3rd crusade. The more we discovered about these people, the more we wanted to make the game. Even the Assassin Motto “Nothing is True, Everything is permitted” fits the game medium perfectly. We developed our main character, Altair as a forward thinking missionary of sorts, on a mission to end the 3rd crusade.
