Update: Assassin's Creed A.I. on the PS3 and Xbox360 exact same

"While the PlayStation 3 and 360 versions of Assassin's Creed are virtually identical, Raymond did say that on the 360 the team is putting a special emphasis on Achievements. And while the 360 hardware enables Ubisoft's team to use multiple threads to enhance the crowd's AI, the end result for the game on both systems will be the same. "While the method for distributing AI load is different on each platform, the AI code itself is the same. Players will experience the exact same crowd results on PS3 and Xbox360," Ubisoft explained."

[JIN KAZAMA]

is just a producer, she has no knowledge of the development aspect of it, i think she is annoying as hell, with her cheesy smile and know it all attitude. She acts like she is the main dev for that game, she couldnt even write a simple for loop.

[Deceased]

but she can lick my for and while loop.

[zypher]

this is probably how the statement originally went. ign.com just worded it wrong. glad that that matter can be cleared up. this story NEEDS to be approved, so that gamers can realize the truth and all the rumors can be laid to rest.

[Scythesean]

I knew this was all BS just to start stuff, there isn't anything the 360 can do that the PS3 won't be able to do. Sure as of right now there isn't a rumble in the controller but it could have it.

[zypher]

well, Ubisoft could utilize PS3 controller's motion-sensing capabilities to compensate for the lack of rumble. or, it could use the disc capacity of Blu-Ray to add bonus features. who knows? i'm just glad that one of the many anti-PS3 rumors can now be squashed.

[original seed]

i hope the AI is good and not helled back because of a certain system.

[Donkey Slayer]

If the A.I. is lacking it isn't due to either system, just simply due to the developers.

[Boink]

PR people are dumb.

this looks like an awesome game, and the x06 game footage has me wanting more.

[power of Green]

Good find Donkey Slayer.

[drewdrakes]

In the words of Stephen Colbert: "I called it!" That I did. I said there wouldnt be any difference, and @4, there are many things the 360 can do that the PS3 cant, and vice versa, you just dont know about them.

[bilal]

or would come till the end of 2007 that can be on one console and not the other technically...
both are very powerful and the difference might appear later...
but then again developer can do miracles if they try to...
in the last gen generally xbox games looked better but few ps2 games were right on par with the xbox...
thats the same thing that would happen this generation but would start later because no console is fully utilized now...

[kmis87]

This makes sense. I was wondering why Ubisoft would say that one version was better than the other one, seems like you'd be shooting yourself in the foot. I guess this clarifies what that offhand comment that was reported actually meant. Both systems get an equally awesome game, as it should be.

[The Milkman]

This is good news for both consoles actually because you can see here that both consoles can actually support the same power but in different ways useing there own strong points within the console.

[Dante1]

Let's see how people like the Mart respond to this, he wont have a leg to stand on, this is good news and i never doubted for a second that PS3 would have an inferior version.

[Donkey Slayer]

It wouldn't suprise me if they were developing for the 360 first and porting over to the PS3. If that was the case, ports alwys have a chance of suffering in the process.

If it was built for both at the same time though then I'd have to go with Milkman's post

"This is good news for both consoles actually because you can see here that both consoles can actually support the same power but in different ways useing there own strong points within the console.
"

[gnothe1]

that somebody finally agreed that both systems will be able to do the same things game wise. an your right there isnt a game that either system cant do.I'm an xbox fan but im not stupid enough to think that GOW cant be done on the PS3.right now both systems are the same, maybe in 3 or more years we'll see something differnt but not right now!!!

[Daytona]

Like there now saying, "oh no we didn't mean to say the Xbox 360's version has better AI", that of course is what they said, so it's ok people, realize the truth. Atleast for now, the XBOX 360 has a better GPU, so it's going to be a bit ahead in a few area's. Will it continue to be better after 2 or 3 years, don't know, it's hard to say.

Reguardless, (MOST) all games on next gen. will kick but, and even a few will kick major but!!

[kmis87]

I may be wrong about this, but the cpu is responsible for the ai, not the gpu.

[Daytona]

But my statement on the GPU still stands though.
http://news.teamxbox.com/xb...
I hate showing things like this since it really doesn't matter, because both/all next gen. systems are going to kick arse in "true" next gen. gaming.
Wii.....isn't this fun, lol.

Jee, you're an idiot buddy. The hardware specs have changed quite a bit since then and no finalization of the RSX exist yet.

[TheMART]

Uhm still no final RSX details and the console has to hit the shops in about one month?

That would disturb my thoughts if I was about going to buy a hardware based machine like a console! I would like to know what I buy!

[lalaland]

So far the list of 1080p games for PS3 looks like this:

- Virtua Tennis 3
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Lair
- NBA 07
- Ridge Racer 7
- Mobile Suit Gundam
- Gran Turismo : HD
- flOw
- Full Auto 2

Of those VT3, FA2, RR7, MUA are all crossplatform games in some form, and for all, besides the resolution, the developers and journalists report the PS3 version looks the better. The same goes for crossplatform games like NBA 2K7 and Blazing Angels.

If a lot if not most crossplatform games look the best on PS3 (and in higher resolution) and not a single one has been reported to look visually better on the X360 (in close to final form), then certainly one can't claim the graphical performance of X360 to be better than the performance of PS3.

-----------

-> TheMart

The exact specification of the hardware in consoles is rarely ever communicated before launch. To consumers specs doesn't matter as long as Sony delivers, and so far they certainly have. We've seen crossplatform games look better in higher resolution on the PS3 in a virtually silent console with only a slightly larger footprint than the X360 (unless you count the powerbrick). No need to worry...

[ApocalypseShadow]

fanboys suck.they speculate without knowing the facts.both games will be the same.game prices,512ram,cg instead of gameplay,1080 at 60fps,hard to develop for and on and on.when they are found to be wrong,they scatter like roaches.and try to find something else.fanboys suck.

[DJ]

Finally the misconceptions are cleared up.

[PS3 Ultimate]

Who's hotter? Jade Raymond or Amanda McKay from GT Weekly? XD

[Sexius Maximus]

You forgot to include Morgan Webb on G4

[power of Green]

Alivea? Munn and Layla caly?.

[beans]

Is it me or does it finally seem like this crazy fanboy stuff is starting to die out! Maybe now we can start talking about games and complementing developers and each other for the good of the industry! I mean this is good guys im finally reading some good posts here and I don't know if it's just me but you people seem to be getting along for the most part! Does anyone else here feel the same?
