Assassin's Creed: The 5% Cross-Platform Difference

We all remember the controversy with UbiSoft Assassin's Creed's exclusivity. First it was shown off as an Xbox 360 title as Assassin at the X05 event and later confirmed only as a PlayStation 3 title. After, what was known as the worst kept secret in the biz, the Xbox 360 and PC versions were confirmed the question lingered; is there a difference between the console versions?

DVD Storage Capacity. This dev accidentally slipped out "we ran out of space on the disc for additional content", and then had to hustle back and say "But don't worry! The hardest issue is squeezing out the performance from both of these complex machines to make the game awesome! Forget I said anything about that! Hah..hah. Want a cookie?"

Funky Town_TX6071d ago

like every dev. That would be like 12k dev right. Do you have 12K articles to post.

ArmrdChaos6071d ago (Edited 6071d ago )

"As far as adding extra content, it’s not really an issue: we have all the content we need for the game fitting on a DVD as it is, and the game wouldn’t necessarily be better by just by adding “stuff” on the disk: the biggest limitation for us isn’t disk space, it’s squeezing every last drop of performance out of the processors on both consoles to make the game as cool as possible on the screen!"

Sounds to me like they got it all in there and anything else extra could easily be added via marketplace. I guess Ubisoft didn't feel it was necessary to add a bunch of extra uncompressed/unneccessary space in order to justify Sony's choice to make their system an extra $200 dollars.

I hear more people complaining about the PS3's price than developers about DVD space.

Saint Sony6071d ago

PS3 Zombie's Creed will be amazing without any decent A.I.

mighty_douche6070d ago

what a tit you are, trying to turn everything into a console war, first it was games, then muliplat games, now its AI cos some noob compaired a finished product to one still in development..... if i had a time machine id go back and kick your mum in the..... guess!

Saint Sony6070d ago

Wife beaters like you, should not comment on anything, but I know, truth hurts. My A.I. comment is based on Ubisoft comment they made. Not to any stupid comparison. UBI showed Assassin's creed first time to public with 360 because PS3 could not handle the A.I. so good at least that is what they said, but PS3 owners got so mad that UBI had to apologize and take the words back, but we all know it is the fact. Truth hurts.

On the other hand, too good A.I. would make gaming a bit too hard for all the mighty_douches out there. So in the end, don't you worry.

"...there will be (as there always is) small, hopefully inperceptible, differences between the two versions within a very small threshold."

Right. To fanboys like nasim, POG, theMart, Bloodmask, and others, nothing is inperceptible.

power of Green 6071d ago

What the fuc did you just say?. lol Anyways nothings said here other than the devs being more concerned about getting these games running on par with eachother this games uses a great deal of AI proccessing etc. Theres about 100 people missing on that list.

I'm sure they're dealing with some space issues as they are CEll issues. Have you seen the PS3 version whats the point of your post?. Please clear up what you said in your post.

macalatus6070d ago (Edited 6070d ago )

First, I must say that I'm quite impressed that you took the time to respond to my post considering for the longest time I thought that I was in your 'ignored list'. But I'm not surprised that your rather...infamous name showed up in this room, since you have the penchant for commenting on platform-comparison-themed news articles. What really got me (big time) is that you actually find my label of you as a "fanboy" as offensive. Now please don't throw "you're a Fony fanboy who couldn't handle the truth" bullcrap at me considering your past comments (yes, I researched your comments history just to prove what and everyone else thinks about you is true) range from plain idiocy to arguments with half-a$$ed logic to the once-in-a-blue-moon valid, mature comments. Now, were those comments made because you sincerely believe that it would at the very least shake off some of our "blind obedience" to Sony? Maybe. Or were those comments made to inflate your arrogant ego? Most definitely. And please, don't think that putting some mature comments doesn't make you a fanboy, when in fact it just doesn't make any difference. Saddest thing about it is that you have no shame going over to a PS3 news article which has nothing to do with the 360 (maybe except in your mind) and putting in your idiotic opinion. That alone places you in the same level as the worst Sony fanboys like Bill Gates, nasim, and chava (does anyone still remember him?).

If you don't like my post (and it will definitely remain unchanged) and this reply, then let me steal your usual line: "If you don't like my post, then just hit the ignore button." 'Nuff said.

THE_JUDGE6070d ago

this title was developed on the PS3 first so if there's going to be any differences of 5% it will be in the 360 version. They mentioned the PS3 in the article because that was the lead console the game was developed for. The game will prolly be the same all around as they said or the PS3 will be slightly head from what I garned from it.

The Wood6070d ago

we all know what he is (POG) and no amount of reasonable or intellectual comments can wash my brain of what this dude has said or his trolling abilities. you POG are one of the elite fanboys of n4g, embrace it.

power of Green 6070d ago

I didn't mean to hurt your feeling, what does all this have to do with not understanding what you post?. lol

The inteview was about getting these games running on par with eachother and turned into a Blu-ray issue. lol

Not going to tell people what they wan't to hear:)

hyphymaniac6071d ago (Edited 6071d ago )

1. as much as i wanna believe that game developers are doing fine with the xbox 360's disk capacity im about 99.9 percent sure that developers want more space and that they are having to take shortcuts to fit their games on the disks

2. i agree that both consoles have have their strengths and weaknesses although developers are very vague when it comes to what they are but i believe that as the ps3 i out longer developers will become more familiar and the gap between consoles will disappear

3. Assassins creed is gonna be sick no matter what console you buy it for so just make sure you get it

William-

Edit: im a little confused why you felt the need to call me a retard for my opinion its your choice but i don't see how it was necessary seeing as how you don't know me

But in my post i never said ALL developers and im sure you can name developers that haven't had problems but at the same time i can name many that have Ubisoft is one of them but it seems that they took back their statement after realizing what they said

WilliamRLBaker6071d ago

Correction as follows.....

1....2...3..4.5

99.9% sure retard devs are having to take shortcuts, Bungie, Bathesda, just 2 name two devs had no problems fitting their games on a dvd disc.

Funky Town_TX6071d ago

How do you know they have had no issues. This will always be the question when it comes to the 360. The only thing now is for the games to kick a$$. So far they have and I'm happy with it. I have played my 360 more than any console that I have ever had. I have had a few BTW.

Lord Anubis6071d ago (Edited 6071d ago )

I find it amusing people list Oblivion as a benchmark. Either they have short memory span or they ignore the fact that there are only around 5 voices for the characters, you hear them once and you already heard the entire game. You fight the same monsters over and over and over again. The terrain is large but it wont fill a disc. No terrain will and I'm guessing that's why people think of Oblivion as a benchmark for games that can fit on a DVD but if they only knew its a next gen game based on last gen tricks.

I found morrowind to be a better game.

UrbanJabroni6070d ago

"...as much as i wanna believe that game developers are doing fine with the xbox 360's disk capacity im about 99.9 percent sure that developers want more space and that they are having to take shortcuts to fit their games on the disks"

I don't. So factor that into your 99.9% equation. And no, no shortcuts whatsoever. Period. The end. But hey, who am I to argue with something so authoritative.

I've been here since day 1...and I hate this site.

sleekblackroadster6070d ago

for me its much more about the customers here.. the gamers. as a gamer i want bigger, longer experiences and could care less if devs have problems getting more stuff on the disks because i'm already at odds with the length and size of games that devs have decided to strive for. i don't want to buy games that i can beat in a day when i know that if they really wanted to they could make games that last longer and expose the gamer to more places and situations.

i always think back to ffvii and how it used up 3 cd roms in a time when cd roms were a fairly new medium for gaming and i always hoped games would keep getting longer and longer and larger and larger ever since i got myself immersed in that game so long ago. i want a new rpg that is so massive it uses up 3 blu rays and takes me forever and day to complete and keeps me on the edge of my seat wanting to unravel more and more and more the whole time.

i guess i'll never be pleased seeing how the industry works now.. with so many devs trying to make $$$.. and games costing so much to make because of all the detail involved and personel required.. but dammit it just feels like SOMEONE could do it. i won't be happy until i have a game that really blows me away and more and more it seems like they have no desire to go beyond.

Just like

halo
Oblivion

gears of war
bioshock
and so on...

As a i said before the x360 lacks good games, it has no exclusive tittles mostly bad PC ports and the they want u to pay to play this inferior versions online ??? pls this is a mayor rip-off not to mention x360 is the biggest POS that has the most dead consoles in the history of gaming.
poor x360 owners and for shame all the xbois who defend this console they are to young to know any better.

tplarkin76071d ago

Stop the fear! Don't worry! The PC market won't collapse due to the bigger console market.

Console owners are not PC gamers. The markets are distinct.

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

isarai190d ago

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske190d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid190d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot190d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno189d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot189d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface189d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot189d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69190d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake200d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga200d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx200d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga200d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9200d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler200d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666200d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52200d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott199d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52199d ago (Edited 199d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara189d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52200d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner200d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52199d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster200d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot200d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster200d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned200d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9200d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1200d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster200d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
