Hideo Kojima and I have been excited about Assassin's Creed ever since we first saw it at least year's E3, so when we were preparing for E3 2007, we thought of how fun it would be to invite some of the creators at Ubisoft Montreal to record a special edition of The Kojima Productions Report.

So here we are! Producer of Assassin's Creed, Jade Raymond, and creative director, Patrice Desilets, were kind enough to join us on the program to chat about creating AAA titles for a worldwide audience, the stealth genre, and how we all deal with the Xbox 360 vs. PS3 controversies.

A special thanks to the folks at Ubisoft for helping me set this up, to Aki Saito for translating, and to Randy Nelson for covering this talk in the pages of PSM. (Be sure to check out this month's issue of PlayStation Magazine for exclusive photos and info taken from the meeting!)

Here's the show we recorded last month in Santa Monica!
