"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."

August 30, 2006 - When Ubisoft unveiled Assassin's Creed at E3 earlier this year, it was touted as a PlayStation 3 exclusive. And ever since then rumors have been flying around hinting that the game's "exclusivity" may be more temporary than Ubisoft initially let on. Whispers of an Xbox 360 port are nothing new, but yesterday came reports of a PC version as well.

Developers from Ubisoft Montreal working on Assassin's Creed wouldn't confirm the existence of an Xbox 360 version of the game (they did, however, emphatically deny reports that engineers from Microsoft were embedded at Ubisoft Montreal working on the game's development), but they did confirm that before Assassin's Creed ships in March of 2007, Ubisoft Montreal intends on releasing a demo of the game.

The US Official PlayStation Magazine has published a few new snippets of info that should be of interest. Firstly, the mag noted that the game will be released in Europe early in 2007 on the PlayStation 3 (although rumour has it that the game will also arrive on Xbox 360 at some point). The magazine also reveals that we can expect new game content delivered over the internet, and some form of multiplayer co-op play.
