Assassins Creed ps3 exclusive running on a 360 at E3?
12 May 2006 20:38 | Unknownunknown | Xbox 360
Xbox360News.com | Link to this article

There is a story that was put up on ign then immediately removed. E3 2006: Xbox 360 Assassinated Ubisoft Montreal's Prince of Persia influenced action game may come to Xbox 360. by Douglass C. Perry May 12, 2006 - Ubisoft officially would not comment on a possible Xbox 360 version. Additionally, Microsoft sources who asked not to be mentioned by name, claimed the demo, hidden behind closed doors at E3, was running on an Xbox 360 using a third-party USB PlayStation controller. The game system was hidden in a stand covered by a sheet. Again, Ubisoft officials would not comment. We'll have more soon. Yes you heard correct they were running a demo for a ps3 exclusive that they've yet to announce for the 360 ON an 360 covered up under a sheet. Advertising for the ps3 using the 360 gpu's graphics capabilities how underhanded can ubisoft get? The entire article can't fit.

1 - I believe...

Considering the misleading advertising that we recieve from third party publishers these days, I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be truth. I am talking about multi-platform titles. I have seen dozens of commercials which show images of the Xbox/Xbox360 version of a game, but at the end of the commercial it misleads the consumer by adverising with either a Playstation2 logo or a Playstation2 box art. Sometimes at the end of the commercial you may see the other platforms labeled with tiny logos at the bottom of the screen, but the box art will always be for the Playstation2. So considering that the Xbox360 does have a USB port, it makes it compatable with multiple devices. You can even use a wired Xbox360 controller for your PC. So go figure. But damn, this Assassins Creed story is going to get real ugly.

2 - Demo would prove it
Unregistered - Nodoze 05.12.2006 21:12
The question is, did the demo feature any motion capabilities (the six points of crap that Sony released) if so, there is no way it was running on a 360!!



3 - not on ps3
Unregistered - boostin 05.12.2006 21:19
why would the console be covered by a sheet? ive seen vids of ps3's freezing at E3. maybe this game wasnt yet ps3 friendly because of problems with the console so they decided to run it on the 360.

4 - Its true people have seen it.

No, it's true. Multiple people saw the 360 when seeing the demo, and it was a joke going around E3.

Ubisoft probably called IGN's marketing department and complained, who then ran up to the IGN warroom at E3 in a panic "Ubisoft will pull all ads if we don't remove that story about their deception on the floor!" And thus it was pulled. It's how things work.


another


"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."


5 - OMG
Unregistered - Master X 24 05.12.2006 21:31
This game is coming to the 360 ok, Back at X05 they said it was coming but they called it project assassin which was the code name.

6 - Cool
Unregistered - HellzYeah 05.12.2006 21:37
Now we know the code is up and running on the 360.....which means it will eventually be released.

Yet more egg on Sony's face!! Sony probably paid for an exclusive release on the PS3 for a limited time (with a 360 launch to follow a few months later). That would be the only explanation in my mind, as there would be dual platform development going on.

I guess the question now is....HOW DID IT LOOK??



7 - It looked amazing
Unregistered - Optimusv2 05.12.2006 22:08
I was watching on g4tv and adam sessler and morgan webb were saying it was the best looking ps3 game at E3. They were EXTREMELY excited about it, but if only they knew it was ACTUALLY running on a 360 ;)

So it can't technically be called the "best looking ps3 game at E3"

i want to get a 360 but i herd that they are returned alot do you think if i wait a while MS will fix the bugs or is it more like PS2 were they had bugs for 6 years...is it going to be a hit and miss its hole life?...and if i do get a 360 what will i be looking for if theres somthing wrong with it

Unregistered - Deafman420 05.12.2006 22:52
people were just saying the 360 had bugs... tell u the truth mine over heated after a month...and that was only because some plastic or something weren't removed from the chips..thus causing it to over heat. Sent mine out for repairs, got it back 2 days later and im in the midwest. Buying an xbox360 would be a very wise choice this time around.

Unregistered - no problems 05.12.2006 22:53
I have had a 360 since February of this year and I have never had a single problem with it. Of course, I have it set up correctly (ie. - off the floor, no vents obstructed, etc.)

Over-heating was the one problem I had heard of with a few of the first batches released. If you want one, get it. The 360 is an awesome machine.

thanks 9 & 10 one more thing i dont play much and might not get XBL for 5 or 6 months is the core system a good choice for starting out? thats bull that core has a white tray face and the other crome

12 - That crap about the plastic not removed is nonsense
Unregistered - Optimusv2 05.12.2006 23:22
If anyone read up on it Microsoft OFFICIALLY responded to that rumor that plastic isn't suppose to come off its a new thermal pad designed to stay on there it was just another plan by many people out there to start rumors.

I got my 360 december 18th 2005 and have yet to have a single problem with it.

Unregistered - merk 05.12.2006 23:28
I believe it. About the whole xbox360 having bugs thing, i dout its any more abundant than any other consumer electronic device, especially in the first year of production. I bought a 360 back in febuary and have had no problems with it. I will get a PS3 eventually but not at launch. $600+ games and accessories is alot of cheese, and being that i start collage in the fall I will have to drop my cash into a nice laptop being that im a computer science major.

360 has 3% to 5% defect rate well within the limit, it happens with all new consoles it's just more noticed from the console being more expensive plus you got the console and hype wars in progress so it's more talked about. Buy it you will like it. And if you don't want to get XBL and download ect play big games, get a mem pack and wait.

I had a couple problems with my 360 not recognizing discs at first, but it was resolved as soon as I removed the system from the entertainment center and just set it next to the TV so it would stay cool.

Unregistered - p h fat 05.13.2006 03:10
i would love this to be true as its a big and quite funny story...
dont get me wrong as i will be getting a ps3 when the price drops to around 200 - 300.
its just funny as hell if its true just coz the fan boys have been holding this game up saying ha ha 360 no no.....!
if anyone has info or links to sites not being spineless and reporting on this as true or false i would love clarification. thanks people...

First we are misled and think that GTA4 is an exclusive Xbox360 title, now assassin's creed is turning out to be a multiplatform title. This just keeps getting funnier and funnier.

asdf 05.13.2006 05:38
I'm not sure who misled you about GTA 4, but it wasn't Microsoft: they keep saying that there will be EXCLUSIVE EPISODIC CONTENT via Xbox Live, they NEVER said it would be only on the 360. Of course, it appears that it will be available earlier for the 360 if the release dates are accurate: GTA4 is out in mid-October, and PS3 won't release until mid-November (presumably with GTA as a launch title).

Unregistered - Ric Hard 05.13.2006 11:31
What makes this story even more funny is there is a rumor that ign has joined up with Sony to help them with their online service. So why would IGN be so dumb to report news like this. Did anybody notice how this year on G4Tv they wasn't so excited like last year about the PS3. I do want a PS3 but they still hasn't shown anything great to say, hey I want that system. Not even that bogus Final Fantasy XIII that they been showing with bars and all the hit points like if that game was actually playable. They better rethink their plans before releasing the PS3 because they haven't proven to nobody why we should buy a $600 system.

23 - on ign

this is posted under the e3 rap up...

Meanwhile, despite heavy competition from such Xbox 360 games as Bioshock, Mass Effect, Gears of War and Assassin's Creed, Super Mario Galaxy's spot-on control and superb level designs earned it my pick for Game of the Show. By the way, it looks pretty damned good, too. If I had to pick a runner-up, it'd go to Bioshock, whose unbelievable concept and oozing atmosphere set it a notch above most everything else.

Sony always does this with their commercials where they show xbox footage and then advertise for the ps2. If you want to buy a xbox 360 go ahead and buy one their are no problems with it. Mine was made in october and it runs perfect. Ask anyone that has actually own a xbox 360 and they will recommened it, it bads things you hear on the internet are from the fanboys that don't own the console themselves. Every single person I know that has bought an xbox 360 has had no problems with it. The x360 is a really solid piece of technology as long as you don't drop it into a tub of water or drag it off the back of your truck it will run beautifully.

#28 and #29 your name should actually be playstation is number 1 at failing. Because thats how it appears to be ending up. Xbox 360 is proven to work and have a future. Even ubisoft used the xbox 360 to demo a ps3 game. By the way that was the best looking ps3 game there and it turned out to be running on an xbox 360.

Hey, has anyone seen the ps3 premium edition in black with the controller, man it loooook sooo sweet. But i keep thinking two things. Altho the console looks soo soo sooo sweet and have a 60gb harddrive, it dont allow you to rip cds and make custom soundtracks, and the controller looks awesome, but lacks vibration i was like that killed it for me. Ohh that and the sixhundred dollar price tag.

So after all that, i find myself really taking a deep appreciation for my 360.
Im a music fantic, i got it all on my pc, all in my ipod, all on my cell phone, in my car, everywhere and the fact that i can do it on my 360 is just icing on the cake, and with the wireless controller that ms have i mean its just awesome so i cant even see me buying a ps3 now. I just adore my 360. Sony will have music capabilities but i dont know for a fact if they'll have the ingame music playback.

I must say that so far the X-Box 360 has the most impresive line-up. Though i will end up getting a PS3 because some of my favorite game series is on the Playstions, the X-Box 360 is first my my console list(PS3 will have to wait till next year ^.^ ).

As for the Assassins Creed running on 360..i wouldnt get all to worked up on it. Everything about it is based on rumours and conjectures ( probably started by a 360 fanboy). Unless theres physical undeniable evidence...its all just a big rumour.


44 - LOL
Unregistered - ZLoserKing 05.24.2006 08:59
I know someone who wants a Fony Gaystation Pee, but I think he's mentally retarded.

You have to be to believe the PR.

My 360 reminds me of my Dreamcast era.

PGR3 Rocks, play the Test Drive Unlimited Demo and you'll appreciate it more!
