Just in case anyone was hanging out for a belated port, let an attractive woman, who may or may not be involved with it, crush your dreams...

[A Wii version] would be possible, but it would need changes to the gameplay, like the DS version. But that just wouldn't be the same experience. Unfortunately, the Wii just doesn't have the same performance as the PS3 and 360.

Crushed yet?

She even (possibly) said that through her snarky grin, which probably looks similar to the one above. Maybe she's hiding a forked tongue, maybe she speaks using an electronic voicebox, maybe she doesn't like the Wii, maybe your mum doesn't like the Wii.

Obligatory channeling of UK:R staff follows:

Code-monkey lackeys or fashion underlings? You decide.
SMS your vote to 1800-SHE'S-BOSS and the choice with the most number of votes becomes fact. ITS DEMOCRACY WITHOUT GETTING OFF THE COUCH.

Since when did developers pose for photos in abandoned warehouses anyway? Maybe there's a sweatshop just out of the shot due to running out of budget money because of the additional PS3 porting.

this thread is so non-shocking i'm trying to make it interesting. any help is welcome

From what I've seen of it, Assassin's Creed could be done on the Wii, just make it look like Spiderman 3.

After seeing it at E3 and how it looked like sh*t, Ubisoft has convinced me this is a good thing.

Well, this thread has succeeded in making me think that the Assassin's Creed team is a big collection of tools.

It goes to show no matter how much arse the wii kicks, it still "gets no respect"

I don't get why so many people are enamoured with Jade or whatever her name is. Or Chobot.

Maverick · « **Reply #8 on:** October 30, 2007, 03:13:54 PM »

'Cause she's a "gamer-chick" that is attractive, I guess. Someone needs to tell that dude that the red/brown facial hair and BLACK slicked hair don't work...

The verdict is in: it's fail.

Assassin's Creed is like the popular cool guy in teen movies who loses to underdogs with genuine merit.

This is scenario is really getting annoying.

Has any PS3/Xbox 360 game been ported to the Wii yet? The Wii seems to get exclusives or ports of PS2 or Xbox games.

Though I don't like that the Wii keeps getting shafted the excuse for not porting the game sounds valid. We knew from day one that the Wii hardware was not comparable to the other two consoles and stuff like this proves it. This is why the Wii is not getting the proper "respect" from the third parties that it should considering it's in first place. If the game has already been made for the other two consoles it CAN'T be ported to the Wii. If there was some example of a killer PS3/X360 game getting ported to the Wii and remaining awesome without noticable downgrades then we could call these third parties on being full of it. But I can't think of that example. And it's not like only one or two third parties are making excuses.

It's like if a game is not announced for the Wii from the get-go it never will be. Unless it's a PS2 title of course.

IceCold · « **Reply #11 on:** November 13, 2007, 09:31:54 AM »

Hmm, what about Monster Hunter? It was originally for PS3, and it's a huge title in Japan.

Caliban · « **Reply #12 on:** November 13, 2007, 11:24:01 AM »

I might pick up this game in the near future, but for now I've got way too many games to play and finish than I can handle, and besides, I think Mass Effect takes priority over Assassin's creed any day even though AC seemed promising.

matt oz · « **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2007, 12:00:48 PM »

I saw that chick on Attack of the Show. That scrunchy-faced guy wouldn't let her talk very much.

Anyway, I was mad about not getting this game, but then I realized that Ubisoft was instead giving us Raving Rabbids 2! Isn't that awesome? Instead of a brand new action-adventure IP from one of the best third party developers, we're getting a sequel to a mini-game spinoff! Awesome!

The game looks pretty boring to me, to be honest.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #15 on:** November 13, 2007, 01:18:33 PM »

Will the DS version be 3D? They could just do a straight port of that to Wii, that seems like an Ubisoft type thing to do.

darknight06 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 13, 2007, 04:34:33 PM »

I'm afraid that would make too much sense, even moreso if it ended up being a better game than the "this is the game that will define next-generation" next gen versions. That would be shooting their favorite platforms in the foot.

Strell · « **Reply #17 on:** November 13, 2007, 04:49:21 PM »

Penny Arcade already showed us what the DS version will be like.

Just in case

From what I've seen it isn't a trivial task to port an existing 360 game to PS3 (Lost Planet i think is the most recent game in development), so the argument that "the Wii is incapable of handling 360 and PS3 ports" is not valid. It sounds like third parties are still looking for that "path of least resistance" and if they can make use of one code base then it becomes a less expensive venture.

If this game recoups its costs (new IP, multi-platform release, large development teams) then I'll be surprised. But I don't smell a smash hit.

Ceric · « **Reply #20 on:** November 14, 2007, 01:13:17 AM »

On the Lost Planet thing Sony needs to step in and make sure the game looks better on the PS3 then the 360. People are already making direct comparisons.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #21 on:** November 14, 2007, 02:28:03 AM »

Lost Planet on PS3: While it would be nice for Sony if the game looked better on PS3, I'm not sure harassing third-party developers is the right direction for it to go in right now. Personally I think the only reason Sony hasn't already lost some third parties is because it truly knows it needs them...whereas Nintendo thought it could go it alone back in 1996.

Assassin's Creed: Meh. It looks interesting but I can think of several 360/PS3 games I'd rather play.

Jade Whatsherpickle: Double meh. I can think of several chicks I'd rather play. Hehe.

assasins creed has some pretty sweet graphics when I was watching my friends play yesterday. That being said I didnt see anything that couldnt be done on the wii. If we take the Idea that Super Mario Galaxy is the only next gen game graphically on the Wii, we realize that the wii isnt being used to full effect by developers other than Nintendo. The game if you think about it doesnt have graphics that are significantly better than twilight princess, which was a Gamecube game. The Wii may be gcn1.5, but that 1.5 affects the use of memory, and power significantly. Meaning better textures, lighting, and geometry. Sure theres a lack of built in shaders, but shaders are not as necassary as everyone is lead to believe.
