Assassin's Creed announced for PS3 [update 1]

apparently this was announced for xbox360 aswell during X05. at the time, it was announced as Project Assassin

Ubisoft is on fire lately. Great looking trailer...

Somewhat off topic, are the final devkits out for the PS3 yet? If not, what kind of hardware would this video be running on?

ummm exclusive??? Peter Moore announced this for the Xbox 360 at xo5, They just changed the name.

Each day passes Xbox 360 is more crap and PS3 amazing.

"...what kind of hardware would this video be running on?"

A computer or a DVD player. It is a pre-rendered movie.

Ubi-soft is acting strangely about this title. They refuse to confirm it for any other platform but PS3 right now. I flat out asked them, and they simply replied:

"Ubisoft is excited to have Assassin’s Creed come to the PS3."

Seems odd. It sounds like PS3 is the main platform, or perhaps timed exclusive.

the game looks great but iam suspicous of what its running on. (cough)metal gear solid 4(cough) also had similiar graphics which were later dicovered as fakes.But if its going to be on 360,i dont care as long as those graphis look just as hot.

#6 Steve is spreading lies. Metal Gear 4 was proven to be real time gameplay. Why does everyone need to cry fake everytime a new trailer is shown. Please wait for the game to be released then talk.

Re: Kamalot... "computer or a DVD player"

Harsh, but fair :-D

Did we ever decide if being able to rewind a sequence and move the camera around counts as "real-time?" Call it a fool's guess, but methinks we'll be hearing that term alot in the next 11 days and beyond.

8. - If you're able to manipulate a scene arbitrarily in realtime, then yes, it's realtime. MGS4 was demoed live at TGS off a dev kit, in realtime. They moved the camera, changed the lighting etc. etc.

MGS4 did not look as good as most parts of this trailer, but then this trailer is indeed prerendered target footage, even if it is using in-game assets, as an Ubi Rep on IGN claims.

Re: LuckyT

*THIS* trailer is still low-def. I waited how many months before somebody was able to get an HD version that wasn't being streamed from Japan. And what did we get when we saw it under a microscope? Pop-ins (which Sony had publicly criticized Microsoft for, perhaps rightly so ala Halo 2) and harsh, straight edges.

See for yourself:

Me? I'm a cynic. I don't like it when a company tells me they will release a product in Spring of 2006 and then fails to deliver on that. I don't like it when a company continues to put up "conceptual design" next to their controller and console. They'd have to do something pretty impressive next week to win me back.

Yeah, PaleGringo, that's real-time.

With one character, no AI, no gameplay, an manipulating the camera and lighting is more of a Tech Demo instead of a Game Demo.

Having said that, the Tech demo was impressive. They use a great number of tricks to improve the image. light blooms and HRD lighting soften the textures and jaggies as does the depth-of-field blurring.

Hideo Kojima, the game’s creator, has now gone on record saying that the Xbox 360 is capable of running the PS3's Metal Gear Solid 4 interactive presentation.

"Despite the PlayStation 3 propaganda on display throughout the demo, Kojima's comments reaffirm many gamers' opinions that the two next-gen consoles aren't separated by much in terms of sheer graphical power. Today's lesson: Don't be a victim of hype."

Sony is running a classic campaign. They aren’t showing their hand with the PS3. Instead, they present a few carefully selected pre-rendered videos, tech demos and a lot of talk about how powerful the system is. Sony’s hope is that people don’t buy the Xbox 360 and wait a year for the PS3. They know that if they showed off real gameplay footage, people could compare it directly to the Xbox 360 and see that there is little-to-no difference. Instead, they allude to the power and mystery of the system knowing imagination is a force much more powerful than any screen shot. They pulled similar moves with the launch of the PS2.

Dreamcast's demise is a testament to the Sony hype machine.

Sounds like Thief.

Did anyone else notice that he is missing his left ring finger? I noticed it whenever he pulls his wrist blade thingy out of the guys neck.

hey Phair talk about having egg on your face....this game was running on a xbox360 under the table at e3.....People are constant fools for believeing Sony about graphics capability of a system.. I believed them on ps1 after that no more....Not ps2, not psp, not ps3. And guess what I haven't been wrong since I stopped believing them! What happened to a 4gig cpu? trumping the 3.2? What happened to the 1 gighertz memory? What happened to the dual 1080p? for that matter what happened to 1080p? oh wait HDMI took care of that. When I actually saw the game play part of FFXIII and played it slow it looked like dumbed down xbox (as in original xbox) LOL. I did get them for rpg's but then again I get all systems so I can get the best of the best. Do the same and you will see what is really happening with the hype/lie machine! FIRST screen of Metal gear I noticed low rez textures on the structure whats up with that! DANG! By now (ps3) should be all high rez. At least 480p level

hey does any of you know who made the Assassin's creed trailer? I mean, did Ubisoft Montreal make it or did an outside production company make it??
