| Assassin’s Creed III Speculation: What We Want And Know For Ubisoft’s Next Adventure Posted: 23 Feb 2012 02:45 AM PST Annual iterations in video games are something that we’re just going to have to deal with — as much as we may complain, there’s just too much money to be made in releasing yearly installments of the biggest franchises. While this business model obviously makes sense from a financial point, many lament the fact that this short span in between sequels hurts creativity and quality. If you need proof of this, look no further than the Assassin’s Creed series. The two-year gap between AC and ACII allowed the series to come into its own and evolve into one of gaming’s most ambitious franchises. Since then, the annualization of the series has brought a bit of stagnation to the formula. And yet, we continue to have faith that the franchise may return to its former greatness. With the recent announcement that Assassin’s Creed III will hit shelves on October 30, we remain cautiously optimistic that Ubisoft is prepared to make an ambitious leap forward for the next numbered installment in Desmond’s journey. Below are some initial thoughts and theories from the AC players at 1UP: Marty Sliva, Thierry Nguyen, and Jeremy Parish. The SettingMarty: A few months back, I received a pro-tip that ACIII was going to place you in the body of a half-Cherokee warrior during the American Revolution. Evidently you’re going to be tasked with traveling north along the Atlantic coast to Boston and Philadelphia, engaging in all sorts of wacky hijinks. If this is the setting for ACIII, it would be a great direction for the series to take, as America during the latter half of the 18th century is rife with potential in the video game world. With so many historically significant events occurring throughout New England at the time, Assassin’s Creed III could take a Forrest Gump-ian approach to history and have your character be present at all of the major events of the American Revolution. Imagine playing through historical moments like the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere’s ride, or Washington’s crossing of the Delaware.

| Lack of Demand Blamed For No UMD Conversion Program Posted: 22 Feb 2012 02:44 PM PST Two weeks after revealing that Vita owners outside of Japan will not be able to convert their PSP UMD game collection into digital versions playable on Sony’s new handheld, the company has provided an explanation for why it made that decision. It isn’t particularly unreasonable, though it probably won’t be of much consolation to those with extensive UMD collections who want access to those games on their shiny new Vita. Sony’s head of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, said he was sorry the United States would not see the program in an interview with Wired. Noting he is not the one who could make the decision one way or the other, he outlined two reasons why Sony is keeping the UMD Passport program Japan-only: demand and price. “When you look at the release schedule of new titles there are still lots of PSP games being released in Japan and being announced for release,” he said. “Lots of people who are interested in trying Vita are also interested in playing PSP games that they might purchase before Vita comes out, and will not necessarily choose the digital version. So there is a lot more demand… to introduce a program like that. “The other point is that when you look at PSP titles sold digitally in the States or Europe, games are sold for a really reasonable price. You can buy Final Fantasy Tactics for $10. That’s a great price. There are many, many games that are sold at an affordable price. Because people in Japan are not getting the digital copy for free, because it costs us money to develop and maintain the system so we are asking people to pay somewhere between $5 and $10 to receive the digital copy in addition to what they have on the UMD. When you compare that to the price of games here, PSP games in Japan are sold at a much higher price, so people see the value in spending the $5 to $10 to get the digital copy. But when the games are already sold at a lower price in the U.S. we see less value in introducing that kind of system. The combination of the new titles available, or the lack of, and the price difference, the company decided to do that.” Thanks to Monster Hunter in particular, PSP has been wildly successful in Japan — far more so than in places like the U.S. and Europe. Knowing that, and looking at recent and future PSP game releases both here and in Japan, it stands to reason that there would be more demand for the Passport program in Japan. However, that doesn’t change the fact that there are plenty of people outside of Japan who want to enjoy their PSP games on Vita without having to purchase them all over again. It’s not as if there is a shortage of quality PSP games worth playing, and we know they can look a whole lot nicer on the Vita’s gorgeous OLED screen. Yoshida may point to Final Fantasy Tactics for $10 — a fine price indeed — but that is not the case with every game. Purchasing a digital version is also not a choice for every PSP game Vita owners may want to play; there are numerous games missing from the Vita’s PlayStation Store. Many gamers are sure to be cynical about this, and perhaps rightly so. Rather than provide gamers with a cheap way to upgrade their UMDs to digital versions (which, while not ideal, is better than having to buy the full-priced digital version outright), Sony will potentially make more money by selling those full-priced digital versions to existing owners of PSP games and those who might otherwise purchase a cheap UMD to pay the upgrade fee for a digital version. This is sure to be compared with what happened to backwards compatibility on PlayStation 3 (with PlayStation 2 games) and, to a lesser extent, on Xbox 360 (with Xbox games). Sony saved money by stripping backwards compatibility out of post-launch models of PS3 and began selling PS2 games through the PlayStation Store, something that is more profitable than letting people play their old games. Now here the company is again leaving something out which owners of the previous system would appreciate in favor of a scheme that could make more money but does nothing for those existing fans. Now that PlayStation Vita is readily available to anyone who wants one in North America and Europe, we can see whether the lack of a UMD conversion program has any real effect on people’s interest in the system. If you didn’t decide to pick one up today, was this at all to blame? Let us know in the comments below.
