AssCreed PSP will unlock PS3 content News
PSP News by Robert Purchese
Ubisoft producer Frederic Lefrancois has explained that PSP game Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines will unlock content on Assassin's Creed 2 on PS3 and vice versa. Both games are due out in November.
"As players unlock health and Hidden blade upgrades in Assassin's Creed 2 PS3, the same upgrades will be unlocked in Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines," writes Lefrancois on the US PlayStation blog. "It also works the other way round: on the PS3 you will be able to access any Templar Coins and special weapons you've collected on the PSP."
Bloodlines begins after Assassin's Creed finishes, and follows Altair on his quest to bring down Templar rule on Cyprus. Our white-robed hero is no longer bossed by Al Mualim, however, and so treads his own curious path.
The story, Lefrancois says, should fill in the blanks between AC1 and AC2.
Griptonite Studio will develop under the supervision of Ubisoft Montreal, and Lefrancois believes Bloodlines to be a "huge benchmark" - "As this kind of freedom of movement has never been seen before on the PSP."
Free-running across rooftops returns, as well as eight extra mission types to compliment the existing investigative techniques.

Quite interesting. I always wondered if it would be possible to have the same game on both platforms so that I could play at home on the PS3 and then continue the game on the commute to work on PSP.
This sounds like it is going someway to achieve that goal. |

Worth getting for my trip into work. Nothing like a good shanking to get the day started.

Stop with the AssCreed now! At least space it out. Unless it's actually called that now, which given the industries love of name changes is actually surprisingly likely :P
Still, I do love AssCreed (it's actually quite catchy) so I knew this a while back, it's a nice concept. I also do love the series story, and did almost all the assasinations as intended, as a blade in the crowd. Of course no matter how stealth you do it there is the scramble out which kind of ruins the atmosphere, it'd be better if you could sneak away. |

It's great to see the PSP finally getting the support it deserves. My support for the platform back in 2006 appears to have finally paid off, devs are finally getting on board with it. I hope for more PSP/PS3 integration in the future as well.

Looks impressive but putting it out at the same time as Assasin's Creed 2, will be interesting if they can sell it as an original game rather than have it confused with a port like other PSP titles out in the holiday season.
BTW the look reminds me a bit of Mark of Kri, makes me wonder if Sony couldn't ask Bottlerocket to finish the trilogy on the machine, could be good and if they use the assets from the first two (more the first than the second) then it wouldn't be too costly and it would be a great way for them to bounce back after the Namco saga. |

I hate shit marketing strategies like this.
If the product is quality it speaks for itself. Trite tactics (borne out of an underhand desire to serve the publisher's needs) like this make me want to punch someone in a suit. More wine, barkeep!! |

^ You would have to track down certain people and "attack" them from behind.
And god knows how Altair is trained in his little cult. |
