Support NeoGAF

[maquiladora]

Looking forward to the Atari 7800 version.

 

[PuppetSlave]

I am going to bet the farm on this being delayed.

At the very least the PC version will.

I would bet against but I would probably lose.

 

[Binabik15]

But the Genesis uses impressive blast processing technology, making it the definitive version.

Sega does what Nintendon't.

I'm reaaaaally shocked that this is a cross-gen title. Screws owners of both over and sells to the largest audience possible, just what execs like.

 

[Bgamer90]

So... Will it be a multiplatform and multigeneration game? Or does it simply mean "available for consoles that we aren't allowed to talk about yet"?

I think the former.

PS3, 360, Wii U, PS4, & Next Xbox.

 

[SpikedGunner]

the Dreamcast is still getting new games after all all this time.

 

[ozfunghi]

My VirtualBoy is ready

I'm still contemplating getting it for either my VirtualBoy, Vectrex or my Colecovision... choices!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I think it says "All consoles" because they can't officially say Orbis/Durango yet.

 

[Pitmonkey]

Can someone post up the leaked EB game list picture?

 

[Father_Brain]

Was anyone expecting this to not be cross-generational? Even aside from the userbase issue, the demo did look better than any open-world title on current HD consoles, but not by such great leaps and bounds that I couldn't imagine it being downgraded a bit for PS3/360/(Wii U?).

 

[Radec]

Now wheres my PS1..

 

[doniewhalberg]

I just read it as keeping in line with what has been said before. non-specific platforms until they can go ahead and say exactly what it'll be on (once all platforms exist). It doesn't seem to point to anything more or less than the last update on it.

 

[Bgamer90]

I think it says "All consoles" because they can't officially say Orbis/Durango yet.

Yep.

 

[Teleporter]

PC version confirmed, yes?!

 

[Pooya]

they went from a Driver game to this? that's pretty interesting change...

 

[benny_a]

PC version confirmed, yes?!

Last E3 they said 360/PS3/PC.

 

[Quentyn]

Can someone post up the leaked EB game list picture?

That was confirmed to be fake.

 

[maquiladora]

I think it says "All consoles" because they can't officially say Orbis/Durango yet.

Yesh.

 

[Father_Brain]

I imagine this has been slated for the Wii U for a while.

But I think its fair to question at this point whether Ubisoft will just cancel the Wii U version.

If a Wii U version was already in development, I don't think Ubi will abandon the platform that quickly. Maybe next year, if this year's multiplats bomb on the system. But they did stick with GC for quite a while.

 

[AOC83]

I can´t imagine how terrible this is going to look on 36/PS3/WiiU in comparison to the next gen versions.

 

[Levyne]

I'm definitely hyped for it. Won't be buying a new console just for this though. Could easily see snagging one for a 3/4 games if there are other must haves coming this holiday.

My pc can probably out perform the 360/ps3 version but not the next-gen goodness.

 

[Nirolak]

We've also recently heard that Watch Dogs was originally a Driver game. We've asked Ubisoft for comment both on that and the console situation, and we'll update should we hear back.

Ubisoft has some of the most bizarre development cycles.

 

[Protocol7]

Can't wait to see this on PC (superior version! /taunt I want the next gen consoles too but hey... ), this is going to be awesome!

 

[Takuya]

PS3/PS4 cross-buy

 

[3rdamention]

I really do wonder if they will do somewhat enhanced PS4/Nextbox versions.

Well, I think that is pretty obvious. They aren't going to sell the EXACT SAME GAME as the 360 or Ps3 version and slap a next gen label on it. I would assume the graphics would be completely upgraded at least.

 

[Linkhero1]

I think it says "All consoles" because they can't officially say Orbis/Durango yet.

They could have just said "coming to home consoles". They put "all" in there for a reason.

If there indeed is a Wii U version and it ends up not being canned, I'll consider getting that version.

 

[Nirolak]

I imagine this has been slated for the Wii U for a while.

But I think its fair to question at this point whether Ubisoft will just cancel the Wii U version.

Ubisoft said on their conference call that they still have some Wii U games coming and hope that they are lifted by Nintendo's titles (presumably they mean this Fall).

As long as Ubisoft is supporting the PS3/360 it's a pretty easy port. After they drop those is the much bigger question to me.

 

[shinobi602]

My body is fucking ready.

 

[ekim]

I think it says "All consoles" because they can't officially say Orbis/Durango yet.

But that poster should be official after the PS4 announcement - so they could have used the name.

 

[Aostia]

Even the Ouya and the Wii?

Steambox

 

[Tagg9]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft shows the game running on PS4 hardware next week.

 

[Goldenroad]

Oh wow. A tale of revenge. Never heard of that in a video game before.

Of course I'll give Ubi the benefit of the doubt because that game looks beautiful.

 

[Nirolak]

There is going to be a ton of 3rd party stuff that releases on 4-5 home consoles for a while I think, one reason I'm a bit hesitant to declare that PS4/720 will be hits right out of the gate.

It depends how compelling the next-gen versions are right?

I mean GRAW was on PS2/Xbox, yet that wasn't really a huge thorn in the side of the Xbox 360.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft shows the game running on PS4 hardware next week.

I suspect we'll see it by GDC at the latest.

That's probably why Criterion ported the PC version to WiiU i bet.

 

[flippedb]

But that poster should be official after the PS4 announcement - so they could have used the name.

"Available on PS3/360/WiiU/PS4 and another home console that's coming but Microsoft won't allow us to list it"

I don't think so...

 

[Davidion]

One of the few interesting concepts in the big release world coming up. Definitely looking forward to playing it.

 

[dmr87]

Let me dust off my Genesis.

it'll look better on SNES buddy

And, sound better.

Spoiler

chiing

 

[CrashPrime]

Ubisoft has some of the most bizarre development cycles.

I'd imagine this is sort of like True Crime/Sleeping Dogs? Both rebranded, both open world, both have Dogs in the title. Feels like a conspiracy theory at work.

 

[Shion]

My Dreamcast is ready.

 

[Ridley327]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft shows the game running on PS4 hardware next week.

You think so? Sony has been a big partner on Assassin's Creed, despite the sales disparity between the two platforms, so it is plausible.

 

[SJRB]

Platform discussion aside, a 2013 release date is a huge megaton.

This is awesome news.

 

[Nirolak]

I'd imagine this is sort of like True Crime/Sleeping Dogs? Both rebranded, both open world, both have Dogs in the title. Feels like a conspiracy theory at work.

Well, Assassin's Creed was originally Prince of Persia Assassins, Osiris was turned into Prince of Persia and then back again, and now Watch Dogs was originally a Driver game.

There seems to be a fair amount of churn in deciding what franchise any given game belongs to at Ubisoft.

 

[shinobi602]

Platform discussion aside, a 2013 release date is a huge megaton.

This is awesome news.

Ubisoft said a 2013 release a while ago actually.

 

[beast786]

I would love to have a chalkboard of save wiiU like we had for PS3

Probably pic it up for PC or Orbis.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Ubisoft? No, thanks.

 

[mugurumakensei]

As long as they're supporting the PS3/360 it's a pretty easy port. After they drop those is the much bigger question to me.

Well, I think it depends on where Wii U is in two years. I expect crossgen into 2015.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Ubisoft? No, thanks.

How old are you? Unless Ubi personally damaged one of your relatives, I see no reason to ignore a potentially great game.

Good games, yes please.

 

[sTeLioSco]

I think it says "All consoles" because they can't officially say Orbis/Durango yet.

so simple...

 

[Portugeezer]

Wait... even the Wii U? Great news.

Oh and how about PC?

 

[twinturbo2]

Which home console?

ALL OF THEM.

 

[Meelow]

So PS3/360/WiiU/PS4/X720/PC version confirmed?
