Ubisoft today created the surprise by announcing that YES Assassin's Creed will also be released on Xbox 360. What an incredible and earth shattering announcement! And we even get 2 images from the 360 version!
Nice what a pathetic attempt by sony to keep this quiet its not coincidence this is announced on 1st of september, sony obviously paid them to keep it quiet until now
The game is out on both ps3 and 360 at the same time Q1 07, is this the shortest exclusive ever? ie. marketing exclusive for 4 months and released at the same time..?

welcome to the business world bub, you really thought it was built on truth and caring for your competition? If sony did pay ubisoft to be quiet about it, they sure were willing to accept the money and be quiet for them.
Though in the end, the great news is that, gamers can be happy.and that's what matters
Ubi what took you so long? You do know that of the three next gen consoles that the Xbox 360 will have the larger installed base by the time Assassins is released don't you?
What's the matter, our money is no good to you?
All I can add is that I'm glad this crap is finally over!
It just seems to me that so many gaming news sources are out there spreading rumors just to try to make Xbox 360 gamers regret our purchase of the console.
So drew whats your opinion you think the 360 shot looks better or worse?
I think both look really awesome, but maybe the textures in the back seem a bit sharper on the 360 version? Then again who cares we are likely not to notice this crap when the game is in motion anyway, plus these are screens at different angles :)
It seems Ubisoft absolutely couldn't wait to make this announcement. September 1st.

hahahaha, w00t.. This and MSG4 and FF is the only reason I want a PS3. Now MGS and FF needs to come to the 360 and I'll be happy..^^
What about the Devil May Cry series? they are going to have a playable demo on it during TGS :D
If the ps3 can give out rpgs like ps2 did, i'll definently be picking up a ps3, it's being nearly a yr since the xbox360 is out and the only jrpg i see is enchant arms and it aint even out here until september :(
I know blue dragon will come out this year in america, but what about europe? and some are coming next year..if 360 can keep that up, i'll be happy.. But yeah MGS4 is the main reason for the ps3 purchase, huge mgs fan and i hope they do a bundle ps3 and mgs4 pack or something
i think this generation, there won't be much of a difference in ports..since both consoles are so close in graphics and power wise..only 1 yr or 2 yrs down the line will there be an improvement or something..i mean, these are first gen ps3 games, and xbox360 is a yr ahead..with another 1 yr on the ps3..developers will understand the console more and squeeze out probably stuff that would make a difference.
until then, every game will look alike in my opinion..especially if the games are released together on all systems

There a few titles I want for the PS3. But AC/FF/MGS4 was the main reason I was buying a PS3..
I swear I would want a long while if FF and MGS was also said it would be on the 360 as well.. NOt going to happen, but I can dream..

Blue Dragon is planned for a december 2006 release in Japan, but it's a 2007 title in the US and Europe.
They always have to tease us don't they? well okay for you since you have a japan xbox360? you posted enchant arm images and videos when it was released on japan.. lucky
maybe the capture software on the 360 is better than the ps3's, or maybe ubi soft has just had more experience with capturing images on the 360. In any case i don't think its loads better.

Kojima did say in an ign blog that he would make Zone of enders 3..and maybe for the xbox360!
he wants to show that his new production company are great with games..and i'm sure some amazing games will be released across consoles to gain respect and admiration from fans.
Give time, he's focusing on MGS4 now and after that, i think gamers across all consoles are going to get some great games from kojima productions

Yea, Zone of enders 3 will own.. Only thing I'm scare of is he wants Nomura to Character Designs maybe. I think Nomura has somethign on Kojima..
As someone once said''Can't get enough zippers, black leather, spikey hair, and clown shoes? Look no further than Testuya Nomura.''
lol, though Yoji Shinkawa is also helping, so maybe it wont be so bad..
I'm glad the 360 is getting good games.. Pretty soon Sony fanboys wont be able to say 360 only has few good games or like 3 good RPGs..
