Amazon U.K. has revealed an updated cover for the Playstation 3 version of the upcoming multiplatform title, Assassin’s Creed III. The box art now includes a banner advertising the Playstation 3 exclusive contents in the open-world action-adventure game, which “includes 60 minutes of exclusive gameplay.”

I wonder what it will be?

PS3 version it is.

 

[dragonelite]

Come on do we even have a pc date yet i heard it is lost in time.

 

[Wario64]

So it's Prince of Persia?

 

[sleepykyo]

How do they time it? It's going to end up as 10 minutes in practical play.

 

[Karak]

60...minutes...that is the slimmest non costume exclusive content I think I have ever heard of hahahahaha.
Its probably 2 buildings in the center of an otherwise empty plaza and by running around it 1000 times in your gameplay to win the game, it equals 60 minutes.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I have the entire series on PS3 anyway so I'm cool with this.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

 

[Derrick01]

It'll probably end up being some kind of tomb (the platforming sections). They like to give those away for exclusives and they're never anything memorable.

The PS3 version running smoothly and without screen tearing is enough of a bonus for me after playing Revelations on PS3.

 

[iNvid02]

Brotherhoods PS3 exclusive mission was copernicus - it sucked.

Nothing to worry about it, although the way Ubi is slicing content up is getting irritating

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Timed exclusive gameplay?

 

[truly101]

With the fanboy wars newly re-ignited, I expect comments to suggest that the exclusive gameplay is poor frame rate and textures.

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

this'll do

 

[Pranay]

I am getting the ps3 version. Let see how long is that "60 mins" actually is

 

[Ken Masters]

60...minutes...that is the slimmest non costume exclusive content I think I have ever heard of hahahahaha.

give me an hour of gameplay bonus over some bullshit MP character skin anytime

 

[WrenchNinja]

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

That was perfect.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

How do they time it? It's going to end up as 10 minutes in practical play.

How long it takes to collect all the items on foot. I had AC2 and never finished it. I like open world games but this series can't grab me.

 

[Aguirre]

there's that word again.

personally, i think it'll be timed underwater escort mission.

 

[Karak]

give me an hour of gameplay bonus over some bullshit MP character skin anytime

2 buildings
EDIT: And FYI I agree and also don't hate exclusive content for a platform at all. Its just such a weird tagline.

 

[Talon]

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

Classic

 

[Speedymanic]

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

Hahaha. 9/10.

I expect it's a side mission/nothing of note and won't be 60mins by any measure. 20-30mins if we're lucky.

 

[Akkad]

Ben Franklin's French sex adventures.

 

[base shagohod]

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

So good.

I hate this console exclusive gameplay bs.

 

[Wix]

Crap, hate these things >_>

Mainly cause I don't have a PS3.

 

[Dance Inferno]

I'm waiting for the GOTY version anyway which will have the extra content from the "season pass" so I imagine this content will be included either way.

 

[GQman2121]

Is it possible that the Naval battle, or maybe that time period in the game, is exclusive? I can see that being no more than an hour.

 

[Bgamer90]

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

lol

 

[Camp Lo]

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

Damn. Well played

 

[benny_a]

I don't give a shit about the extra content.

But DAT STICKER

 

[ultron87]

They did show the Naval battle at the Sony Conference, but I'm sure that they would've shouted it to the rafters if that was a PS3 exclusive.

Also, I hope that really cool looking section is more than an hour of game play.

 

[GeoramA]

Crap, hate these things >_>

Mainly cause I don't have a PS3.

I have a PS3 and I hate this. Makes you realize that there's still somewhat of a stupid console war going on.

 

[Domstercool]

Will just be a couple of side quest missions that don't do anything much to the story.

 

[BradleyLove]

I'm more of a Sony guy than MS guy, but I hate this type of stuff.

I'm all for platform exclusives (I only really own a 360 for Halo and PGR) but multi-plats should have content parity.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Actual exclusives games are so rare now that platform makers just rely on getting exclusive content or timed DLC.

 

[Canis lupus]

I'm cool with the extra 60 minutes I'll be getting out of the game then.

 

[StuBurns]

I really hate exclusive content. It's worse than exclusive games, some serious bullshit.

 

[madmaxx350]

Will just be a couple of side quest missions that don't do anything much to the story.

yea but Copernicus mission was fun and an extra hour of playtime is fine with me. I can't wait to see the interaction between this and AC3L. Good times to be an AC fan and have a Vita/Ps3 combo.

 

[benny_a]

I'm all for platform exclusives (I only really own a 360 for Halo and PGR) but multi-plats should have content parity.

That's how I feel about it.

I don't know how effective this stuff is, but it might be working. I'm considering the PS3 version now over the PC version. Of course the major reason is the delay but maybe all these factors combined get others as well.

 

[alr1ght]

Oh, thank you gaming industry.

 

[Dance Inferno]

I really hate exclusive content. It's worse than exclusive games, some serious bullshit.

How in the hell is it worse than exclusive games? You still get to play it on 360.

 

[Karak]

I would MUCH rather have them have performance parity than content if choosing between them. But they are different machines entirely owned by different companies, it doesn't strike me as odd that they may want different content packages. Its pretty much mirrored in other industries the same way.

 

[Nibel]

You play a different game on every system.

This is so awesome.

 

[knitoe]

Think, someone mistakenly add an extra 0 after the 6.










Until next gen, PC version for me with any sandbox games.

 

[Bombadil]

60 minutes of more loading screens.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

How can they put a time on it? Unless it's an actual 60 minute timed scenario? Can I sue them for false advertising if I do it in 59 minutes?

 

[madmaxx350]

60 minutes of more loading screens.

in an AC game?

 

[LiquidSolid]

I'm waiting for the GOTY version anyway which will have the extra content from the "season pass" so I imagine this content will be included either way.

Are you talking about a GOTY on the other systems or PS3? Cause seeing as they never bothered to port any of their other PS3 exclusive content, I doubt they'll bother doing it with this.

And yeah, I agree with BradleyLove. Even though I have a PS3 and will be buying AC3 on it (because fuck Ubi PC releases), I hate the exclusive or timed exclusive crap for multiplatform games. It still pisses me off that Tomb Raider Underworld's ending was 360 exclusive. Just shocking, which makes me happy that I never bought it at full price.

 

[StuBurns]

How in the hell is it worse than exclusive games? You still get to play it on 360.

Because you're not getting the full thing. At least with exclusives, you could always end up getting that system, or the game getting a port. With stuff like this, it's just hurting the game for the majority.

It does depend what the content is though, it could be real filler garbage.

 

[.la1n]

I'm having a hard time getting into Revelations, I really hope the scenery change does more than just give us the same missions but with different time period characters.

 

[Bombadil]

in an AC game?

Yeah. Every time you re-enter the animus. You run around a white landscape.

Doesn't matter. Greenscar's post was funnier.

 

[ohlawd]

Installation time doesn't count as gameplay

Nice.

But what is up with this exclusive gameplay garbage. I understand timed exclusives like Call of Duty map packs for 360 but this is just wrong.

I can't imagine it will be anything more than side quests unrelated to the main story.

Unless they pull a Mass Effect 3...
