Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360


Xbox 360 faithfuls rejoice, sing out, do a cartwheel, eat ice cream, dance the cha-cha, and get down on your knees and pray thanks to whoever it is that you pray to, because Ubisoft - the same company that created the Prince of Persia trilogy for the ps2">ps2">PS2 - has finally sent out word to the world that YES, Assassin's Creed WILL be coming to your beloved console as well. Along with these announcement are two screens for the said green and mean machine.

Months of guessing if it will be exclusive for the PS3 and the announcement days ago that the title will be available on the PC may have prompted this follow-up. It has also been noted that the release of Assassin's Creed for the Xbox 360 will coincide with its PS3 release in the first quarter of 2007.

And so Altair marches to an even broader horizon...

How could MS not get a deal like this, i wouldnt have minded getting this for my future PS3 (say end of 2007, start of 2008!!! :O ), now i just have to choose, which one has the better graphics and added extras, hmmmmmm.... (Oh yeh by the way, if no-one noticed i bought a 360 not too long ago, and i love it, unlike the last generation, owning one console (PS2, was good, but fanboyish), i can be a true gamer =)

i really hope that the 360 version is better looking. it might happen since devs are probably getting used to the 360 more than the ps3. they had more time to learn the platform

Oh yhea, i hope so also ! ;) This game looks amazing and now it would come on xbox 360 also ! No need to buy a PS3 now, the graphic will probably be better on 360 like #2 said. I'm curious to know if the game on PS3 will be more expensive since it's on blue-ray, i'm really laughing at Sony right now cause of their marketting and THE thing they have created, the PS3 ! haha
So the next exclusive game to PS3 to come on the 360 is MGS4 !! ;P lol

i seriously think alot of you need to question your existence in life. Whoopy-doo its coming to 360. Who gives? im a sony fan, i couldnt give a crap what platform it was on, so longs it appeared on ps3. you people dont like gaming, if u did, you'd be able to appreciate what every compnay is trying to achieve with gaming, not just completely siding with one company and slag off the other just because you've got nothing else better to do with your life

MGS4 on 360 not going to happen. Kojima said he wanted to make other games for the 360 and wii.

It's kind of funny how the sony peeps talk trash about all things. Like AC ONLY on ps3 *suck it* they say. PS3 is going to have HDMI *eat it* they say. Oh wait what? AC coming to 360 and PC... *It's cool just as long as it's coming out it doesn't matter what consoles it's out for* (hmm fast change isn't it) What's that you say? PS3 won't have the HDMI cable in the packaging?? *It's okay it's not like we need it now we can get it later when we want it* (Wha wha what changing your stance again?) Seems that they can dish out the crap but when it comes to taking some punches they just fold up to the fetal postion. Take a hint Sony just as MS and yes even Nintendo are not a non-profit organization they are in it for the money and lots of it. So yes ps3 will have hdmi abilities but you better believe they're gonna make you pay for it extra. Yes xbox is going to support HD playablility but your gonna have to pay extra for it. Huh Nintendo is going to have a virtual console with downloadable games!! Awesome just pay up. See everyone loves money and yes they will ask for it

Oh umm by the way. I'm very happy AC will come to the 360 because well yea not only will it be considered part of the 2nd generation of games on the 360 but it'll have rumble features as well. Not this 'we don't have rumble becuse it effects the motion sensitivity' rrrright or they're to cheap to settle the lawsuit so they CAN have rumble tech... eh ah well

 » HDMI

HDMI is a waste of time. They say it gives a better picture than Component, but it does not. HDMI is just for HDCP for the movie studies to try and stop you copying the content on their next gen dvd formats.

 » you're gay

wow you guys are intelligent. Though obvious that it was coming to the 360, this only added more fuel to the fire. And seriously, stop taking advice about tech from microsoft. If hdmi didn't matter then why are NEXT-generation electronics pushing it? If 1080p is insignificant then why does it have twice the pixels as 720p?

And last of all, which platform sold most copies of PoP? take a flipping guess.

Ok so for the longest time AC was supposed to be a PS3 EXCLUSIVE and all the 360 people kinda sat around saying they think it might end up on the 360. Whenever anyone brought up that ubisoft does mult-platform titles MANY ps fan boys jumped up to say not to start rumors. Now that AC is CONFIRMED for the 360 where exactly is your extra money going to? PS fanboys are going to blindly buy a system that doesnt do much to anything more then the 360 and is being run by a company that straight up LIES to get their customer interested. @15 Noone is taking "tech advice from M$ HDMI doesnt matter in terms of playback quality at all to the human eye it is being pushed by the movie industry for HDCP(high-def copy protection) and reviews have showed that for the extra amount money you will pay to get a 1080p tv it is completly not work it. It is better just not $2,000 better. As for PoP selling more copys on ps2, that means absolutely nothing following that same logic Maria Carrey would be the greatest musician of all seeing as how she has sold so many albums right? not quite. It seems to me that if anyone is taking "tech advice" from the wrong source it would be you buying into every thing sony has said to you. So last thing lets say in a year a new HDCP is put togther(quite likely) that allows the use of component video where exactly is all your extra money then? What if blu-ray fails? Either of these things really bring down what that system is so expensive for. So say you buy a ps3 and then HDCP is changed and Blu-ray fails wheres your extra money going?/?? obivously not to console exclusives.(atleast not any that look very great.)

 » Who would they sell it to?

Come on.it was an obvious choice.if ps3 can pull 2 or 3 million units by march next year, that is not enough for game companies to put exclusivity, they have to sell as many games as they can. and by next year, there will be few playstation 3 machines out there. besides, they have to develop the engine to another platforms as that will be the base for next gen prince of persia.

the ps3 version is going to have better graphics

   by LOLURA*****NOOB (Unregistered) - 2006-09-01
 » hey #19

hey #19, youre a dumb*****! You are wrong! Xbox 360 has better GPU, PS3 has better CPU. It balances out to they will have almost identical gfx... sounds like a waste of money by spending $600 on a machine thats gayer than something that costs 400...

 » well

presanally I think the phantom console that's coming out well pwn everything ^.- oh wait that was just a bad rumor... dang But anyway I do believe that the 360 and ps3 will be even in terms of ability but naturally those who favor the 360 will say "graphics are insanely awesome on this and all you others can sux a goats dic" and those who favor ps3 will say "Ha you silly 360 boys can cry tonight because you just got owned by the superiority of the ps3 haha lick a cow utter" in the end yes they'll be the same power wise it'll just be the one console buyers that'll ruin it for others

 » For the love of God, stop the madness.

I'm sorry, but almost every single one of you is retarded. You're arguing over games. You're all acting like children, squabbling over which console is best.

Games are supposed to be for entertainment. You know? Fun? Anyone?

Stop being so pathetic.

before i say anything, i would just like to say that i'm nobody's fanboy and I will eventually own both consoles. but reading #18s post, I noticed something strange. look at how many of those exclusives are the "same old franchises" we've been playing for 10 years.... I sincerely hope that sony can bring out more than just the same old stuff... Personally, I hate *most* rpgs and the jap crap... But I will buy the ps3 anyway, just for motorstorm and GT, but still... look at all the stupid "same old" jap titles...

 » great

Great. Both systems means everyone can play it. I'm getting a ps3 and this game, and my friend is probably going to get it for 360. thumbs up.

 » Hey XBox guy, why are you here?!

9. » 360 People visit your own lame sites!

Every time I look at PS3 stories on PS3 dedicated sites there are always a ton of 360 guys that show up to defend their lame system. I just don't understand it. I don't ever go to 360 sites because the system sucks. There is really nothing that the 360 has that I have interest in (other then the rumble for the controllers). The recent news for Resistance: Fall of Man proves what direction this counsel war is going. The 360 is not really full next gen. It's more like better graphics with a ton of pricey add-ons. 360 guys biggest defense is "at least they gave us a choice." It's not just a blue ray player, you are getting next gen tech. More space means more benefits for games.

I don't care if AC is going to XBOX, at least these guys will have more of a defense other than HALO. Newsflash - HALO sucks. That game really sucks, even if it was on PS it would still suck. I just don't care about spacemen.

Okay, I'm off my soapbox. 360 guys, go to your MS site so you can hear what game are now backward compatible and how much more of your 20 gigs that it will take up to become a little more next gen. I'm curious, when I see the display of 360 in stores are the load times always that long? That's just as long as current gen load times.

 » ummm wait

So hang on first of all every sony fanboy comes on the nintendo and 360 site saying fu you stupid people ps3 will own all!!! so having 360 people in here is just the same as all the other sites. And anyways you can say any system isn't TRUE next-gen. I mean come on they still haven't made it jump out of the screen and slap you on the face. Wii isn't next-gen cuz it has bad graphics, 360 isn't next gen cuz it's doesn't support 1080p.. or something like that, ps3 isn't next gen cuz they are just making the same games with better graphics

this is in the 360 forum too so it's not just a ps3 exclusive post either. So there's another one you can scratch off your list
