1UP.com does some research on the murky multi-platform status of Assassin's Creed and get this broken record response from Ubisoft:1UP: Is Assassin's Creed an exclusive title for the PS3 or is it only announced for the PS3?
Ubisoft: "Assassin's Creed is coming to the PS3. No other announcements have been made."
1UP: So it is not exclusive?
Ubisoft: "Assassin's Creed is coming to the PS3. No other announcements have been made."
1UP speculates that Sony's arrangement is similar to the announcement deal Microsoft brokered with Rockstar regarding the next GTA, with Kutaragi's krew unwilling to shell out the bucks for exclusivity. They also note that Sony has recently downplayed the importance of third-party exclusives. That's good news for 360 owners, who will likely get the chance to play this impressive-looking game on their system. But it has to depress the PS3 fanboys, who now have one less rationalization for forking over $600. We'll see if Sony decides they need one.
1. It would be really nice to see this come to 360 with virutally no diff between the 360 version and the PS3 version. Ubisoft isn't a company for exclusives. They're pretty much like EA. Bring this and Unreal 2007 and there's no reason to spend the extra cash on Sony's system.
