During the IDEF 2006, Ubisoft confirmed that Assassin' s Creed was currently under development for Xbox 360 and PC, in more than one version besides the PlayStation 3 one already announced. The owners of Microsoft's console will be able them to thus step into the shoes of Altair at the height of the Third Crusade. More information soon, especially concerning a possible temporary exclusiveness for Sony's future machine.

might be day 1, might be temporary exclusive

Oops. I meant just have one console and be done with it. That way everything is exclusive. But then what would we have to argue about. Its unpossible for us not to argue.

 

[Aryuken]

There goes my reason to buy a Ps3

Spoiler

[black_13]

A single platform future would be great, but highly unlikely with the current line-ups at each company.

 

[Illuminati]

Assassins Creed was a reason to buy the PS3 to being with?

My girlfriend was looking at this to stave her over until Devil May Cry 4 comes out.

 

[HocusPocus]

Assassins Creed was the hot game for the PlayStation 3 at E3 . I'd say yes it is would have been as an exclusive.

 

[MiamiWesker]

No no no, but Assassin's Creed was a PS3 exclusive. THERES NO REASON TO LIVE! Where's my Kayak!

*Jumps off cliff*

 

[travisbickle]

I guess that just about wraps it up for Sony.

 

[Effulgence]

I don't know whether to post something sarcastic about how Sony is done or to post that that site has no reputation.

Saddening.

 

[Shard]

What was the whole deal with the Assassin’s Creed faux-exclusivity anyway?

 

[Kabouter]

Awesome
The one PS3 exclusive game I was excited for gets ported to 360 and PC.
360 version for me it is .

 

[Amir0x]

What was the whole deal with the Assassin’s Creed faux-exclusivity anyway?

it appears that probably like the whole GTAIV thing for Microsoft, Sony wanted it announced for their platform first... dunno what moneyhats if any were apart of it, but that's just the dig!

 

[urk]

The PS3 version will have six degrees of motion, while half of the 360 version will have to be downloaded from Xbox Live for fifteen bucks extra. The PC version will, of course, have the world's best texturing, balls out AA and AF, and run at 60fps. The Wii version will be ported by Activision.

 

[Barnolde]

PC is new and slightly unexpected, but hey, they wanted money from Borys I guess.

I wonder if they actually fooled anybody with that ploy, especally considering that this here was one of those worst kept secret deals.

Not many hardcore gamers, that's for sure! I think it's that for the mainstream/casuals, they're more likely to read it on a website or a magazine that it's "PS3 exclusive" or the only platform it's currently announced for is PS3, and so that they start to associate it as being a "PlayStation" franchise. It's an arbitrary thing and I doubt it has any actual long term effect, but i suppose that's the theory.

But without competition, they could price it as high as six hundred doll....oh wait

Yes, because Ubisoft games usually don't end up on PC, right?

[Kittonwy]

Good, that makes me happy. ~_~

 

[iapetus]

The PC version will, of course, have the world's best texturing, balls out AA and AF, and run at 60fps.

But only after three years of patching will it actually be playable start-to-end.

 

[jon61586]

Who really thought it was exclusive?

 

[Illuminati]

PROTECT THE HIVE

What? Even if I wanted it I would be getting it for the PC, the real next gen! I buy PC first, then consoles.

 

[Barnolde]

Yes, because Ubisoft games usually don't end up on PC, right?

No, obviously not. Ubisoft hates money.

 

[sharukins]

March 2007 so PC version might support Directx 10

 

[Luckyman]

6 months after the PS3-version.. by then no-one will care.

MS bought the first Splinter Cell for half year.. this is just the same.

I will, and so will all the people who aren't buying a PS3 at launch.
