Assassin's Creed 4's exclusive content is also coming to PS4

And so is Watch Dogs' exclusive content

by David Scammell

The exclusive content available in the PlayStation 3 version of Watch Dogs will also be available on PS4, Ubisoft has confirmed.

"We can confirm that customers who will purchase Watch_Dogs on PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 will be able to download 60 minutes of additional gameplay via the PlayStation Network after the game’s launch," a Ubisoft spokesperson said in a statement provided to VideoGamer.com this morning. "As of now, we have no more details to share."

The content is said to offer 60 minutes' worth of "exclusive gameplay" unavailable in the Xbox 360, PC and Wii U versions.

The PS3 and PS4 versions of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will also include 60 minutes of exclusive content.

Ubisoft rolling with Sony on exclusiveness leads me to believe that other publishers are rolling with the other guys, whether it's EA or Activision. We'll see soon.

majiebeast4006d ago (Edited 4006d ago )

Well everything is pointing towards EA if anything. Activision has exclusive content coming to both Diablo III and Destiny for PS3&PS4.

@Sandmano
And EA has always been with Sony, were at a new generation things can very well change. Just look at Squaresoft and Nintendo in the PS1,N64 gen. There will be Betrayal next gen;)

Sandmano4006d ago

Activision have always been with MS...

Cryptcuzz4006d ago

With a new generation upon us, it is perfect timing for developers to strike new deals and partnerships.

Sandmano4006d ago

Hahaha keep it coming Sony!!

Guess i will buy it when it's on sale or gamefly it, not paying 64.00 dollars for an incomplete game.way to treat consumer Ubi hope hackers screw your Uplay system for two months. @sway but you still got be it a month later this not going to Xbox version weather a month or a year later.that why thier anger , trust me if I had the ability to hack I would take the uplay server down for a year just to call it evens. Babies who will use thier wallet to effect thier bottom dollar, not fan of second hand but I hope the second sale are great for this & game stop comments on it.
@sway yeah the whole BOGT & other was wrong but I guess 50 million buys you a longer time period.

sway_z4006d ago (Edited 4005d ago )

Why so much hate for Ubisoft...? When MS shagged R* and Activision for timed exclusive DLC, did PS3 fans wish terrible things on R*? ...No! Did we support the poorly ported PS3 versions of COD? ..Yes!

We put up and shut up, got on with it and still supported GTA4...

Microsoft raised a generation of babies...and they spoiled them rotten. Put your pacifier back in your mouth.

The shoe is on the other foot...and the shoe fits very well indeed :)

@witwicky343

Yes agree 1 month or so exclusivity on COD DLC, but I waited over 6 months to play BOGT & TLATD GTA 4 DLC. But I was happy when we got it...the best thing is no 3rd party exclusivity on anything at all.

SDF Repellent4006d ago (Edited 4006d ago )

Dammed it!!! I have enough of UBIsoft,Sony is getting all the love from Watchdog to AC. I will not buy this game until it hits bargin basement price. I have supported and bought all Assassin's Creed game on my Xbox 360 and this is what we xbox owners get? Go the H!$# UBIsoft.

PirateThom4006d ago

To be fair, the last few Assassin's Creed games have been the same, PS3 version getting some exclusive content, why is it only now you have an issue?

MasterCornholio4005d ago

Well then the solution to this is very easy.

Instead of being an XBOX360 fanboy just buy yourself a PS4 that way you can have access to the exclusive DLC for games like Assassins Creed, Watchdogs and Destiny.

Let go of your fanboyism and give in to being a gamer.

DigitalRaptor4005d ago

Is this really the straw that broke the camel's back for you? They've been doing this since Assassin's Creed II.

Timed exclusivity is quite disrespectful generally, but I'm not going to boycott a company who's offering the platform I support early content.

TekoIie4005d ago

"but I'm not going to boycott a company who's offering the platform I support early content."

I see what you did there ;)

PoE: Deadfire, Unless you have a or PS5 or an SSD don't bother, loading times are insane. A minute and a half to go into a room to investigate a desk in an inn and then an additional 1 1/2 minutes to leave the room and then load to leave the inn???

And they never fixed it.

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag vs Skull and Bones Video Comparison Is an Eye-Opener

Ubisoft has just released Skull and Bones on PC and consoles. And, from the looks of it, the game wasn’t received well by some gamers. Not only that but it appears that Skull and Bones can be worse than Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, a game that came out a decade ago.

I wanted a Black Flag sequel so bad. It's still my favorite AC entry. The fact that they ignored everything that we loved about that game in this "spiritual successor" is making me enjoy watching this game crash and burn quite a bit. Either do it right or don't do it at all. (I understand the legal binding they got themselves into with the Singapore government to release this game at all costs)

isarai60d ago

My thing is, if the Singapore govt was forcing you to do it at all cost, why not make what people wanted? How did ubi delay it for 5yrs, then again for 1yr and not just make a similar experience to black flag? How do you spend so much time and make so little?

Chocoburger59d ago

Ubisoft did make a sequel, Assassin's Creed: Rogue. It has a short campaign, and its packed with filler side quests for upgrades, but it's still a decent time.

It released on the same day as Assassin's Creed: Unity, so it was mostly forgotten.

porkChop60d ago

11 years of development. Multiple restarts. All the while people have been saying they don't want some pirate game where you can't even get off your ship. 11 years of people telling Ubisoft all they want is a pirate game that's basically Black Flag without any of the assassin or animus stuff. Yet they still served up this trash that no one wanted, charged $70 for it, and had the balls to call it AAAA.

The Guillemot family honestly needs to be forced out of Ubisoft. They've doubled down on everything players don't like about their games, they want AI to create "rough drafts" of their stories rather than letting their writers do their jobs, and they literally do not give a shit what their playerbase actually wants. 5-6 years ago their stock was worth more than 4x what it's currently worth. The company is dying.

Jin_Sakai60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

What has happened to developers? How can you possible make a worse looking game 11 years later? It’s honestly mind boggling.

darksky59d ago

It's because the older developers were better at it. The new generation pass most of their exams by copying code from around the web so are not nearly as good at understanding what they are developing.

LucasRuinedChildhood59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

No, here's the truth:
https://www.channelnewsasia...
This was made in Singapore and it's the first game of this scale to be made there. Ubisoft would probably cancel it normally since it clearly wasn't shaping up well but they were getting government grants to try build up the industry there.

Do you really think game developers are radically different than just 10 years ago? And this game has been development since Black Flag released.

Using one crap game to trash a whole industry of developers is stupid. It's like saying "Alien Colonial Marines proves that game developers suck now."

yeahokwhatever59d ago

i know this to be at least part of the puzzle from experience.

senorfartcushion59d ago

It's the multiplayer aspect of the world. MP games look worse than single player games, period. Every comparison we keep seeing are for games like Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad and Skull and Bones. They all have multiplayer focusses.

SyntheticForm60d ago

God, I'd love a remake of Black Flag.

Yi-Long60d ago

Enough has been said about this game already. The gaming world shrugged when it was announced so many years ago, and instead of listening to all the criticisms from the community back then, Ubi just sailed on and kept making a game nobody really wanted. What a waste of money and effort.
