We spent an entire day playing Assassin's Creed at Ubi's Montreal studio

As you move through the city crowds, you must constantly be aware of the amount of commotion you're causing. Beggars and drunken troublemakers test your patience and threaten to blow your cover. You can beat them down if you wish, but too much commotion triggers the attention of the guards, and the situation can quickly escalate from fisticuffs to murder. But if you work the crowd and the surroundings properly, situations can be diffused without resorting to violence. The crowd can even be turned against the guards in neighborhoods where you've helped people fight back against corruption in optional Save Citizen missions.
