In what has been described as a “special partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment”, Copies of Assassin’s Creed Revelations will come with the original game thrown in.
There is a catch though, as this offer only extends to day one copies of the game. It is also unclear if this offer will come to the EU, or just the US. Launched back in 2007, the original game didn’t get the best review scores, but did pave the way for what has become a fantastic franchise.

Hey, that’s nice. Was planning on getting a platinum or PSN download of that one, so good job. I will defo be pre-ordering now.
If the offer is valid in Norway, that is.

Oh yeah, is it a physical copy, or a download voucher?

what if i dont want the original game? as I have every AC release lined up on my shelf? ps3… ds.. psp.. graphic novels (including the french unofficial) and the novles.
posem
actually this is a good idea, as my best mate is finally getting a ps3 soon. I’ll give him this.

From what i’ve read elsewhere, AC is going to be included on the AC:R BD, so you wont be able to “gift” it.
posem
do you have a link for this?
X-Pensive Trash
I’ll try and remember where i read it and dig up the link.

Hmm, the article says it’ll be on the disc (as does another article i’ve just read), but the quote from Ubisoft doesn’t actually state that.
posem
aye, shopto reckon it’ll be a voucher code, hell, its not even confirmed for the UK or EU yet!

Anything planned for the box of X? The mrs wanted to try AC but i told her to start on AC2 as i thought it was more accessible for her. I suppose she could always take over my ps3 and play my copy lol

Good deal, even though I already have the original. Would replay it if this new version had trophies, though I find that very unlikely.
posem
wasnt it reported a while ago that the new version wouldnt get trophies? much like the MGS4 rerelease?

I think it was which is a big disappointment, would give both these games a new lease of life – and sell a few copies as well I’d wager
xdarkmagician
this is exactly it, its a great deal for new fans, but for those of us who have been assassins creed fans from day 1, it doesn’t really do anything. I say they should patch just this preorder bonus copy of assassins creed with trophies so the die hards can feel like they’re getting something too.
posem
aye, i mean, old HD classics can easily get trophies put into them? im sure its not too hard to do it for a game thats not even that old, whilst I appreciate the gesture, this just seems a tad lazy by Ubisoft.

This is cool, I started with AC 2 as with the low review scores and lack of trophies I never could be bothered getting the first.

Same.
I doubt this version will have trophies either but i’d still like to give it a bash. Not sure about day 1 only, though, will be a bit busy playing Uncharted.

i care so little about trophy’s, but the timing of AC2 fitted with me not having games to play, and then i found out AC1 was not very good (according to people comparing the two), so didn’t bother getting it either. Might do now though… if UK gets the deal

ShopTo have announced there will be ‘tokens’ given away to download it, however it hasn’t yet been confirmed for the UK or EU, only USA

This is okay, many will have it already, but the first game was really very good. I think I preferred it to the second, there were parts that were definitely better. I kinda lost hope in the series when it stayed in renaissance Italy after AC2, wanted somewhere new, also, the final boss was just poor. Wont spoil it for anyone that hasn’t played it, but it was truly awful.
posem
the whole point is that Ezio and Altair were amongst the most prestigious assassins in the series, so Ubisoft wanted to create a ‘trilogy within a trilogy’, Ezio’s trilogy inside the main trilogy of games. As his story was so important and titular to the storyline, thats why it remained. I can understand your sense of hopelessness though, as i was unhappy aswell that it didn’t move after Brotherhood. However Revelations has been confirmed to be the last Ezio-centric game.

I have fond memories of the original, it was a great ‘launch’ game.
Origami Killer
Nice touch but added trophy support would be better
