Assassin slinks its way to 360 [update: 1]

Your backstabbing dreams have come true. Two sources -- Xboxygen and Club Skill if you must know -- have reported that Ubisoft has officially confirmed Assassin's Creed for both 360 and the PC. While most of us have suspected this anyway, especially given Ubisoft's penchant for cross-platform releases, it's nice to get some official word. It's not all sunshine and lollipops though: Ubisoft still hasn't mentioned whether or not Assassin's Creed will be a timed exclusive for the PS3.

Any thoughts?

Update 1: Many sites are now noting the denial from Ubisoft on this matter. Under the guise of UbiRazz, a community manager (mod) from Ubisoft has stated that Ubisoft has made no such confirmation. At least three French sites have reported that Ubisoft made this confirmation at the Interactive DIGITAL Entertainment Festival (l'IDEF). So, this may still be a rumor, but it's a damned juicy one.

1. well as long as it comes i dont mind..the wait

2. I have a feeling that this generation is going to see a hell of a lot more cross-platform action between Sony and Microsoft. There's just way too much money to be made programming cross-platform.

The real question is: which one will be better? We all know what happened when they ported Splinter Cell.

3. The porting is still Xbox -> Playstation in this case, as they've been making the 360 version much longer than the PS3 version. Evidenced by the E3 demo running on the 360, announcement at that expo last year, etc.
I'm expecting a killer Live game on 360 and a slightly worse but more 'the same' than ever game on PS3.

4. i love it. just one more reason why i don't have to plunk down 600 bucks to play games like this.

7. What kind of confirmation is that as far as im concerned its comeing for xbox 360 and pc.

8. Who cares if it's a timed exclusive? I'm not about to plop down $600 dollars to play a game several months early!

Posted at 5:54PM on Jul 4th 2006 by Mintz 0 stars

9. Either way, if it comes out for PC, I'm not buying it for a console. The bad experience we've all had with Graw or Oblivion, where we have to pay for every little add-on while the moding community makes tons for free has left me almost wanting to get rid of my xbox. At the least I am NEVER buying a cross platform title ever.

Thats the great thing I liked about my PS2, almost all kickass title where exclusive to the console, so I didnt feel cheated like I do with the XBOX, making me pay extra for a game thats actually more open and cheaper on a PC. ?!

10. I agree with Mintz, if this is coming for the 360 it could help me hold off buying a PS3 for at least another year or more. With allot of great titles coming out for the PS2 even yet this year. If some of the great titles are cross platform that could help me wait until the first price drop.

11. With game dev going through the roof these days companies other that first parties have no choice but to have games on multiple system. It's how they make money

12. Is there release date mentioned?

Posted at 5:16AM on Jul 5th 2006 by Electri 0 stars

13. Well, this is interesting. A few weeks ago, I was talking with a few friends. One of them works at an EB Games store. He had no idea that it was a PS3 exclusive, as their computers say that it will be cross-platform. Obviously, I don't have much credibility, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Posted at 8:59AM on Jul 5th 2006 by Coweh 0 stars

14. Listen, like I said before companies want to make money and having a HOT game out for only one system will hurt them financial. Unless of course MS, Sony or Nintendo want to pay them for the exclusive rights and WE all know that it will cost WAY TOO MUCH!! All this doese is make easier to own one system and the big-wigs don't want that!!
