Despite my anger with E3, I still have to admit, it's letting out some interesting info. Like this four page article about Assassins Creed (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/802/802794p1.html).

A few of the main details I picked out:

Weapons are tied to the D-Pad

You can use the Switchblade in normal combat

Target system using the L-trigger, with auto-target changes after an attack

You can knife guards in the back

The guards re-act to noises and will investigate

Climbing is based around the R-trigger also

Leap of Faith indicated by pigeons

Eagles represent special places worth climbing too(possible achievements attached?)

Red flash on the meter means the guards are onto you while yellow means you've broken sight

No demo.

The no demo bit has me on edge. It was reported earlier this year that a demo was guaranteed. If they've gone back on that promise, me and the other Assassins Creed forum-ites may just have to have a revolt.

If anyone wants this can be converted to a general E3 discussion thread about new info coming out of it.
