Good news, the Internet! Your "bring
Assassin's Creed to PSP" petitions
totally worked. SCEA announced during
Destination PlayStation today that the game will appear courtesy of Ubisoft on Sony's portable later this year. In fact, your efforts were so effective, Sony's releasing an
Assassin's Creed-themed bundle, though the only component they're talking about now is a Piano Black PSP.
SCEA stopped short of actually
saying the move was thanks to the overwhelming, petition-generated e-pressure, but you'll always know the truth
in your hearts.

Is this for real???
I didn't know about any petition, but I LOVE this game. Was repetitive, but I never really got bored, ever. Even bought the DS version to help the franchise. Great news.

Cellphone game port, come on!

makes perfect sense to me. God knows I'd much rather play this game on the go anyways. damn if I'll be buying it again tho, unless its $30 or less
DangerMouse @ Feb 24th 2009 12:49PM
It'll more than likely be $40, have 5 hours of gameplay, and remain at that price for the next 6 years.

6 years tho??? I dont think so, 6 months maybe
Jerk Face @ Feb 24th 2009 12:06PM
Wow! Good work, Internet. Good for dudes who have dusty PSP's.
linebeginstoblur @ Feb 24th 2009 12:13PM
What about Assassin's Creed trophies for PS3? What about those petitions? Wouldn't it take a lot less time to put those in rather than to port an entire game for a completely different platform anyway?

What the fuck?! Where are all these great psp games coming from? Awesome day if you have a psp.
Hashbrown Hunter @ Feb 24th 2009 12:28PM
Seriously! This is all fantastic news and I was getting worried about my PSP.
WhiteShield @ Feb 24th 2009 8:49PM
getting worried about the psp? i had almost written it off. my newest game was patapon! and i got that a while back. ya sure we got dissidia and retribution, but these 4 titles released today have totally given me hope for our little system. with such blockbuster titles (i'm still freakin out about LBP), at least one or two are going to be great

Isn't it insane? I already had a number of games I was looking forward to, this just keeps getting better!
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread - XBL: SoCoolCurt) @ Feb 25th 2009 9:20PM
great day for PSP. Patapon was the last game i bought for my PSP as well so it's been a while since i dusted it off. im most excited about this Rock Band Unplugged game though since it sounds just like Frequency/Amplitude which are games i loved.
fyreblazer @ Feb 24th 2009 12:54PM
Oh shit, they remembered the PSP exist! I'll finally have a reason to dust it off and not trade it in.
required @ Feb 24th 2009 3:26PM
Because you have played all of these http://www.metacritic.com/games/psp/alpha/
ScottG13 @ Feb 24th 2009 1:19PM
Good. AC was awesome. Looking forward to the AC2 announcement at E3.
samfish @ Feb 24th 2009 1:21PM
Oh good. Now PSP owners can experience Ubisoft's shovelware, too.
It'll be hard to make a worse game than Assassin's Creed DS, but I'm sure if anyone can pull it off, it's Ubisoft.
tmacairjordan87 @ Feb 24th 2009 2:24PM
Luckily for us the psp is shittons more powerful than the DS, and should be able to deliver an experience as close to the console version as possible. I'm sure it'll be close to a ps2 version of the first game, which I'll sure as hell take.
samfish @ Feb 24th 2009 2:27PM
If that were the case, Ubisoft would have released at least ONE good game for the Wii by now...
Game_playa @ Feb 24th 2009 3:15PM
I don't think there is a PS2 version of AC.
tmacairjordan87 @ Feb 24th 2009 3:57PM
There isn't a ps2 version, I said it would likely resemble A ps2 version of AC.
Derek @ Feb 24th 2009 1:57PM
Awesome, now I can do a bunch of repetitive stuff and conquer the same levels and bosses over and over and over and over and over again on the go!
Rhamsey @ Feb 24th 2009 3:34PM
agreed, it was a great game, but very very repetitive. i guess this is only great news to people who dont have a ps3/360 who havent tried it yet.
tmmoore_nc @ Feb 24th 2009 2:13PM
I sense a Wii version on the horizon.
Vegnagun bwf @ Feb 24th 2009 2:33PM
I remember this from the podcast. Sort of funny, I wonder if the PSP will be a good fit for a game where most of the fun is derived from climbing to the top of large buildings and looking out into amazingly textured and detailed cities.
Jonah Penne @ Feb 24th 2009 2:37PM
YeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!111
David Black @ Feb 24th 2009 3:29PM
I'm guessing this will be some sort of prequel or side story a la GTA PSP. I'm really looking forward to this, Ubisoft has been doing much better lately with game development and I have high hopes that this will generate a good few hours of fun.
It's a handheld people, of course it won't be exactly the same experience as the console versions. GoW: COO proved it could be done....
FatalChaos @ Feb 24th 2009 3:58PM
Ubisoft hasn't made decent PSP titles that i've played, I hope they don't fudge up Assassins Creed.
Jacksons @ Feb 24th 2009 9:12PM
Exactly. As excited as I am for the other announcements, Ubisoft's offerings (the ones I've played anyway) on the PSP have been pretty sub-par so far. Here's hoping that changes!
TM @ Feb 24th 2009 4:09PM
wow. suddenly there are a good amount of titles released for psp
my wish list:
Resistance Retribution
Assassin's Creed psp
LBP psp
SF2 on PSN
more firmware updates and features

Looks like MY petition may have finally paid off :)

Mr.U2 @ Feb 24th 2009 6:42PM
HOLY FRICK!!!! Rock Band, Assassins Creed, LittleBig Planet, and Motor Storm are now coming to the PSP!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't sell my PSP yet! It now has some use!! I can't express how happy I am about this!
TM @ Feb 25th 2009 12:17AM
not to burst your bubble, but there is always the slight chance that all these games will be crappy in some way. graphics, controls, load times etc.
Mr.U2 @ Feb 25th 2009 12:31AM
true... but c'mon, they can't be that bad, right? I'm all for positive thinking. I don't think it will change the outcome of whether the games are good or not, but it's nice to think positive.
jjaz88 @ Mar 1st 2009 7:40PM
Finally! All the work w/ petitioning finallly paid off! Good job ubisoft. That adds to the list of games coming out for the PSP this year!
