Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed is PS3 Exclusive

Gamer.no, who contacted Ubisoft yesterday about the recent rumors reports that Assassin's Creed is still a PS3 exlusive. Talking to the Norwegian game site Product Manager of Ubisoft Nordic Harald Horsberg says that the game is announced exclusively for the PS3 after he had been in contact with the French HQ.

PR Manager Fredrik Moberg adds “there are no indications that this game is headed for other formats besides the PS3”

Another report is also coming from the official Ubisoft forums. A Community Manager from Ubisoft under the name of 'UbiRazz posted this statement.

"Ubisoft have confirmed no such thing. Assassin's Creed will come on PlayStation 3 and at this time, no other platform has been confirmed." said UbiRazz.

This of course won’t kill the rumors for good, as people will still argue that a 360 version could become available somewhere down the line, maybe 6-12 months after the PS3 version, but at the moment the official word from Ubisoft is that Assassin's Creed is a PS3 exclusive.

Hahahaha some of the comments " Xgamer " on the subject of Assasins creed said that the game would only be exclusive to X-Box 360 because they said the PS3 could'nt handle it, but let me tell you guys out there who disagree's, no one know's exactly what the PS3 can do and what it's capable of , O and the heading says exclusively to PS3. hahahahahahaha suck on some of that.

Official july 4th, 2006 ubisoft announced that assassin's creed is also being released for the XBOX 360 and the PC.
I was right. Also, just a note it's still "not" going to be released for the ps3 unless sony works it's bugs out in time. It just cant handle this game nor mgs4.

It's true and announced. Keep your eyes open on this site. It seems to take 3, 4 or 5 days to have the stories approved but it's true.
You'll see by friday I'd say. Ps3 will still probably get it first due to the sony pay off agreement but it's a comin:)) Well unless sony ps3 doesnt actually come out this year then we'll get it by xmas.

True, but keep in mind that Ubirazz is a Community Manager, meaning (I take it) that he oversees the forums. The first guy actually works for the company and contacted the higher-ups.

As much as I'd like this to be true, I still have to make the same request I do when someone says that it's officially multiplatform . . . proof? A link? Anything like that? Please?

5 - This is bull!

Oh come on. This is the third time I've heard about confirmination and de-confirmation.

This is Ubisoft we're talking about. Lately they've been following EA's tactics on releasing every game they produce to every console. I couldn't find the link for it, but the 360 version is already well into the development stages (don't know about the Wii/PC). This thing is like a merry-go-round. Why can't they just confirm it already? Most everybody knows it's coming out for the Xbox 360. There's no way this game is going to be a PS3 exclusive. Ubisoft KNOWS that if they wouldn't bring this game to the 360, they'd be losing a good amount of profits from it.

http://1up.com/do/newsStory...

Another thing to be taken into account. A release list that was annouced to be 100% legit.

Let me stress once again: this is Ubisoft. Assassin's Creed will be coming to all consoles, not just the PS3.

P.S - the title is misleading.

We just have to wait and see what happens. However I believe that come the Tokyo Game Show we will know exactly what Ubisoft intend to do with this title. In terms of what system it will be on so far it has confirmed as a PS3 release so you Xbox fanboys can stop saying it wont ever come out on the PS3 since it says it is on the PS3 on the official game website, in fact here is the web address for it.

it prob won't be at TGS, not their type of game u know lol. If anything you will hear something at X05, if there is something to be said, or heck maybe even E3'07. I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy, im just saying if you know ubisoft. Then you know if they a game that can be a franchise, as in having sequels and wut not, they always release it for multi systems. Member back when Splinter Cell came out, they said the same thing they are saying now with this. Saying we only have it coming on the xbox for now. Then later on you saw them release it on multi.

If not this version of AC, then for sure the sequal to it. Its just ubisoft, they are in it for the money. But hey nice to hear ps3 got a real killer app. Now they have something to hold them over till MGS4 releases.

XGamer - 1268 days ago

10.5 - I think there wont be a ps3 this year so that's why XBOX 360 will get it first.

Many developers are closing the doors to the ps3 since it's more so a "plauge station 3" instead. Ya cant have a game released on a bottlenecking system ya just cant and that's what the current yes current july 2006 playstation is.
So it's quite easy to say what's going to happen, really the ps3 is crap so far, nothing since march has been released on it to be demo'd that isnt played on either a PC or XBOX 360 or just a CG on a PC. March's MGS4 fiasco was the last time anything has actually played real time on a so called ps3. And, If ya caught that show, then you'd know that sony exec.s were constantly appologizing and making excuses for it bottlenecking and just freezing up every few seconds. This is just the facts.

11 - There really is no rumor

Listen at this point with everything I have seen there really is no rumor to this. Assassins Creed is not EVER going to be a console exclusive. No Ubisoft published game has ever been a console exclusive. Even the Over G Fighter game does not say "Only for XBOX" on it.
There is no fight or rumor about this , I think it is safe to say this game is a timed exclusive for PS3 and that is ALL! There is no way a 3rd party title of this production value from a company that is fending off hostile takeover issues will be an exclusive. Major gaming sites ( including this one )and publications all have "confirmed" statements that it will be mult. platform. We should stop arguing about it and doubting it. At this point I am going into wait and see mode with a comfortable feeling this game is coming to the 360 and PC.

11.2 - Your wrong- One word... "REDSTEEL"

THIS is a a wii exclusive... and it wont make it's way to anyother console... second Redsteal is highly anticipated title for the wii and alot of the nintendo fans are raving and others as well after seeing the game play for it people will be picking that title at launch so dont count the chickens before it hatches ... as for this game... if sony is smart... they should fork over the big bucks to have this game on the ps3 exclusivly... because it is a system seller... belive it... and i'm quite sure sony is seeing the reaction and they should know by now what measures they have to take if they ever hope to push console sales in 2007. that said... we'll just have to wait and see, what is to become of it's exclusive nature this coming TGS where many hope to get some offical news. because i for one wont be arguing over this game... i know i'll have it on my ps3 when this hot title releases

It's that it's Ubisoft. They don't do exclusives. I understand what your saying though. We got Ghost Recon and didn't bat an eyelash.

Edit: Also the fact that Ubisoft has stated it's not a PS3 exclusive. They will only say at this time the game is only confirmed for the PS3. That really is your answer right ther. That is actually how they talked about the original Splinter Cell.

yea they don't really do exclusives. Only one I know for sure is Red Steel for the Wii. But yea I doubt that game will become a franchise, so thus the exclusivness. I mean they said it right off the back, it was exclusive to the Wii. I think what ppl are gettin at is that they have yet to announce it that its "only on ps3" they keep saying like right now we don't have plains blah blah. I mean you would think if it was only for the ps3, then ign,gamespot,1up and other big game sites, would have confirmed it instead of coming out with all these "Exclusive?" articles. Just seems weird to me. I member they did this with Fight Night 3 last year at E3. Kept saying its coming to the ps3, but nvr said it was only going there. Then bam it pops up as a multi system launch. Same with GRAW, they showed it at E3 on 360. So ppl thought only on 360, then bam again multi. Thats all im getting at. I mean if they want to stop all this buzz, then the ubi president would have just came out and said stop it its only on ps3, then bam rumors closed.

I still think they just doing this to build up the hype for the game. Making ppl want it more and more with all these rumors. And as you can see its working.

It's important to understand that it is about over for the Playstation brand as far as industry dominance goes. I really find it disturbing that thier supporters are reacting this way to the brands decline with consumers , you know Nintendo fans did the same thing during it's decline , it must hit like a ton of bricks. Also a game like Assassins Creed is definetly not GTA , it won't be a system seller of that caliber. Also when most people understand it will actually be multi platform. Sorry.

yeah I still think its a marketing move. By them saying all this as of now we only working on a PS3 version, it gets everyone talking. 360 fans want it, PS3 fans don't want them to get it. BLAH BLAH goes on and on. Game sites start posting all this Exclusive? or not drama, and all the while its making the games fan base grow. Cuz you know ppl always want what they can't have. Then eventually they will just come out and say it's going multi, now with all this drama they started they probably easily doubled the number of ppl that wanted to buy this game. So now when it does hit, they make twice as much as they did if they just came out flat right "its going multi to begin with." It's a pretty smart business move actually, gota tip ur hat off to them. They indeed did increase the buzz for this game, but yea its not going to be no GTA. It's just that is the only worth wild game coming out on the PS3 in the early stage. I think thats why everyone making a big deal about it. Its all childish really

We are all getting played. The gaming industry is all about rumors , speculations and buzz. You are so right about the tactics they use. It is actually sad though ( I'm not being patronizing ) how the PS3 camp is taking the systems decline. I mean that. With industry analysts coming out and saying they can see the PS3 in third place this console cycle after doing actual research. You have to understand that is Gamecube territory from last generation , ouch.

Thst is a different animal all together. Gears of War is an ANNOUNCED 360 exclusive. Assassins creed has not been officially announced as a PS3 exclusive yet. I doubt it ever will. The game industry shows that are upcoming will be the test. If they announce this game as an exclusive then there you have it , if they don't and say things like "confirmed for initial release on PS3" then you can be sure it is multi platform.

20.2 - Gears of War is 360 exclusive

This is because the publisher is MS game studio therefore they forked over the huge amount of money to keep it, not timed exclusive sorry, but as of now the PS3 is the only one with Assasins Creed who knows maybe they will announce at TGS that Sony dished out the funds to make it an exclusive we will have to wait and see, but sure i would love this game to come to the 360 either way the game still is going to rock.
