I'm not terribly surprised Something similar happened last year, when Microsoft themselves had been showing PS2 screens of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland in the X-Box 360 area of their Web site.

The pad is what gave it away to...everyone.

Every single playable PlayStation 3 game at E3 was using an actual PS3 controller connected with the USB connector (bolted to the controller) and going to an actual (visible) PS3 dev kit.

Assassins was the ONLY "PS3" game to use a generic third party PlayStation 2 controller going to a sheet.

They had a closed-in white Assassins demo room right at one of the entrances to the Ubisoft booth.

Just another nail in Sony's coffin. :lol

mashoutposse · May 13, 2006

Does this mean that the game will end up looking even better?

Bright side, baby.

Rhindle · May 13, 2006

The machine wasn't visible during the demo. It's entirely possible, if not likely, that it's still running on a workstation.

I don't see why that's terribly meaningful one way or another. I think games this gen will generally be moved to console hardware at a later point in the development cycle. It makes sense to maintain a single code base as long as possible, especially for multiplatform titles (i.e. 95%+ of all future PS3/Xbox titles).

How is this not a bad thing? The supposedly best looking "PS3 game" is actually running on an Xbox360. What does that tell people about the PS3? That they could only get graphics like that on the $600 PS3? No, it tell them that they could get graphics like that on a $400 Xbox360 too, just not that particular game, for now.

I'm positive it's true, I actually read somewhere that they could see that it was a 360 under a cloth when they were playtesting it - it's hilarious how it's apparently so serious that the story had to be pulled... hahaha...

Exclusive to PS3, yet built primarily on the 360 - at this rate they might as well put it out on the 360 first...

Either way, this pretty much shows that it won't be exclusive... not a worry to me because even before I read that it was done by the Prince of Persia team, it had a PoP look written all over it, and I didn't really dig that game with Ninja Gaiden around...

:lol

Where have you people been for the past year when every PS3 game was being shown on PCs equipped to imitate Sony's claimed PS3 specs as closely as possible with off-the-shelf hardware? Because, remember "ZOMG DEVS DON'T HAVE PS3 KITS YET!!!"?

Did everyone forget the whole "developers will be getting final kits any day now" part of Sony's press conference? It makes perfect sense for any developer who's been working on a PS3 title for more than six months or so to show it running on the "guesstimate"-spec PC at this point, since no final kit = no final specs = lots of potentially wasted effort.

Besides...if, you know, someday the game were to come out on PC and/or 360, well, having an early draft running on PC couldn't hurt.

Contrary to insinuations, the folks giving the demo were very forthcoming about the fact that it was running on a PC. In fact, if I remember right, the guy doing the demo I saw mentioned it (unprompted) before actually starting the demo.

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but you are talking about Final Kits...non final kits with Cell and 7800 have been available for....i don't know, almost a year?

So why would they show it on a PC? :lol

Erm...because they've been working on it longer than that?

Like, perhaps, since right after Sands of Time? And transferring all that code to fluctuating-spec dev kits is a waste of time, energy, and resources?

Just my theory, of course.

It's a poor one. Cell has been manufactured for almost a year now. Older dev kits had a 2.4GHz chip in there. I have no clue where you conclude that they used a PC. There's no PC with even half the floating point power of Cell, and according to Goto at Watch Impress, older kits used a Cell and G70 connecting through a PCI-e bus, but that's as close to a PC as it got. There have been pics floating around of PS3 dev kits since last E3.

Assassin's Creed running on the 360 sounds a bit odd for the fact that it's supposed to be coming to the PS3 relatively soon, yet it would appear to be in a more advanced state on the 360? Er...it will no doubt end up multiplatform, but the story just makes no sense. When did Ubisoft realize it was gonna be PS3 exclusive, the week before E3? PEACE.

Drek · May 16, 2006

Good, the real time graphics could use a few touch ups before it mirrors the CG as well as I'd like (IQ and lighting primarily). Moving development exclusively to PS3 should make those improvments pretty easy to achieve.

Kobold · May 16, 2006

When I was given the demo, at the end, obviously my mouth had to be picked up from the floro, but afterwards I asked, quite spontaniously if Shanghai was developing the Xbox 360 version, and the developer (lead programmer, great guy) told me without any worry in his eyes that they were also doing that version inhouse in Montreal.

So, I couldn't tell wether it was running on a 360, I would believe it was PC sooner then that, but I sure as hell know it's coming to Xbox 360 and I don't even think it will be timed exclusive or at least not for very long.

Ubi needed to show Sony some love, they did bt announcing it PS3 for the time being, pretending it was running on (for) their console, now they can move on to produce the Xbox 360 version for me to play.

Even if it was exclusive in the end, I wouldn't buy a PS3 for it, I simply refuse. Xbox 360 is THE lead platform this generation, Ubi knows it, Sony knows it, everyone knows it, make the game for it and make money, Ubi likes their money, so they will.

Confidence Man said:

They also ran the Rainbow Six demo on a PC with 360 controllers. Very confusing everyone thought it was the 360 version, but it wasn't.

I am still curious how they can always put out such a mega sharp picture with a PC on an HDTV and never make it as sharp with an HD compenent connected Xbox 360 and HDTV. Anyone know why this is?

OH SNAP. Now....why would they be using a PC? I dont get it....

were the ps3 kits braking? lol

GhaleonEB · May 16, 2006

If it's coming to 360, odds are good it's coming to the PC as well. It's Ubisoft after all. They probably showed the PC version and claimed it was the PS3.

The only reason I can think of is moneyhats.

FightyF · May 16, 2006

Yeah and I read the game was still quite early (a.k.a.framerate not so good)?

anachronous_one · May 17, 2006

Waitaminute ...

I thought that the 360 has some sort of proprietary "USB peripheral security", that would make it difficult-to-impossible to use a non-licensed gamepad (which I would assume a generic-looking PS2 pad would be) with the system?

Am I imagining that detail, or was that something that only applies to retail 360s and dev kits allow any USB devices to be recognized?

I haven't used the USB ports on my 360 yet ...

EDIT: Here's the article I was thinking of.
A PC emulating the PS3? If KK is to be believed, that would have to be some sort of Beowulf cluster of AMD64-based PCs, wouldn't it?
