Really want this, but €150 is far too expensive for me right now. Wish it was at least a while away (January maybe?) so we'd have time to come up with funds, but with 23 days to go, it's impossible :( xx

Wow at that steel book
Looking at 6 discs for the Xbox version
So not a g1 steel book
But a big box steel book like the modern warfare boxes

Yeah, I still think it's a jumbo though, because that's just a render, it could quite possibly be a normal size, but we'll need to wait and see. If it's normal size, then possibly some of the games will be redeemable codes, but I'd rather have all physical discs xx

There's gotta be an English release for this!? Otherwise, why would they release a promo teaser (at a ridiculous resolution size that's really difficult to read)?

We need more fine details...and still lol at the price! Unless those Lithographs are very limited and number?!?! :O

which ps3 G2 steelbooks you know of has more than 2 disc holders ?
the ac collection like the mw3 collection cases aren't good enough for 150 euros price tag :p
4 disc holders in a genuine steelbook is the way to go :D

That box seems kinda big for just a steelbook?
150 euro is to much money though. Hope its not to limited and can pick up later discount.

Also why they show just three disc, did they combine multiple games on one disc?

Twisted
11-06-2012, 04:16 PM
it's a nice steelbook..but there's nothing really special going on with that box..just a bit plain looking..plus the japanese one at least was limited and had unique art work...i'm assuming these will be standard disks..and since AC1 is years old..it will probably be essentials or greatest hits format..plus 150 euro is very overpriced..but i think they want to take advantage of the holiday crowd..if there not numbered..and available throughout europe etc..the prices surely will come down...100 euro would be fair.

Twisted
11-06-2012, 04:19 PM
and is this really a complete anthology?..is there no assassins creed 4 on the horizon?..as soon as AC4 hits..this will be not much of value...i think it's a safe bet..as to when or if they do end the line with assassins creed...let's say with a 4 or a 5 etc..then they will reissue another complete collection more truer to it's purpose then this one..again..it's OK looking..packaging can look better..BUT 150 EURO WORTH?...NO WAY!

Where can you get Assassins Creed 3 for 30 euro especially with the season pass?

And I doubt to get all games of Assassins Creed brand new for just 10 euro, maybe you can get AC1, AC2 and Brotherhood for a price like that but not revelations.

And the liyhos are only G1 size at best
Unless there gonna bundle all soundtracks I'm still not convinced
Maybe this is anthology one
The Desmond miles arc anthology
And next we get a new protagonist
A descendant of Zhao jun and an Egyptian assassin from the Japanese cell
Yes I know Zhao jun was Chinese not Japanese but Desmond was American not Italian or where ever Altair is from, masyafian

for it to be a true anthology..it should have included the PSP game release, the Nintendo DS game release and the PS Vita game release..along with some sort of Bonus content, that could ONLY be found in this set.and it must be individually numbered.then they can feel free to charge 150 euros all day and night.:) because it's looking like to be europe wide..it will be mass produced..i can't see the price staying that high for long.

Ubisoft have been treating AUS real good actually. None of the CEs are overpriced in comparison to the rest of the world. I will bet $200 or $228 for the anthology

Twisted
11-08-2012, 01:15 AM
"if" and i mean "if" it does come to the US...i doubt it would be the exact package...if it's US $200...no one will buy it..it will probably be a different set up..and can't be priced more than $150 otherwise it will sit on shelves.

I'm just saying the US won't get this particular edition in the same packaging, if the US does happen to get an Anthology of some variant, it probably won't be packaged like the PAL version!? Same goes for the Trilogy that the US got that PAL territories didn't.

we all know that ubisoft always gives EU and AUS the best non standard editions for some reason. like konami, namco bandai in recent years and square-enix to name a few.
i dont think an anthology pack will ever release in the US, the only thing they can do or actually done it is decreasing the price for the digital and the retail releases of AC games.

Lemur
11-08-2012, 02:28 AM
They timed this reveal just after AC3 released so sales of AC3 would not be affected. I think many people would have bought this instead of AC3 on it's own if it was announced earlier.

And end Nov release just in time for christmas season when the casual shoppers start buying gifts and 5 games in 1 would be a great gift. They just forgot to put a christmas theme on the box :lmao:

Will wait this out and see if it gets bargain binned. Even as a 5-in-1 Christmas bundle, this is still too expensive for a casual shopper as a gift considering the age of the games.

That wouldn't be surprising nor is it the first franchise to get similar treatments. It's been done for dvd/bd movies and music and I don't think video games are any exception. Just look at what Bethesda did for 'Oblivion' five years after release upon release upon release.... :lmao:

Well I won't be getting it from Australia then
And if it is the last ac game then it won't sell put and they'll keep re stocking it to get more people to buy it
And if it is the last ac game then the price will drop as no one will buy it
And it will be massively dropped and offered at super low price before the next one is out to get people hooked to the series and once you have one collectors ed of a franchise you can't just buy a normal copy so you'll be forced to buy the CE of ac4

Brilliant business plan

It's a no brainer that they will make more AC games in the future, because who would willingly kill their most profitable franchise ever?
But I doubt there will be another game for this generation of consoles...even though I wish there was a new AC every year, like for the last 4 years.

Anyway good luck for anyone who has never played any AC and buys this package and tries to quickly play through them all in one go. You will be completely exhausted :V

all though i like it..wish to grab one as soon as i can budget/afford it...after watching the unboxing..i was dissapointed to see not much content in it at all for the price,...i would of liked to have seen each game on a separate disc and each game have it's own case and the steelbook as a bonus to warrent the price there asking..to have a total of 3 game disks shoehorned into 1 steelbook and 5 pieces of paper aka lithograph for around $200 US..is outrageous...but i'm one of the suckers :D..who will try to get it regardless..although value is clearly questionable.

I assume you mean like a download code for the first two games of the xbox edition?

Both consoles have this ^ capability and have done it for games in the past.

In the PS3 edition, all the games are present on the 3 discs themselves.

I believe it's like this:

Disc 1: AC 1 & 2
Disc 2: AC Brotherhood & Revelations
Disc 3: AC 3

Trouble with xbox is it's limited to DVD's which are so small compared to blu rays.

Disc 1: AC 1 & 2
Disc 2: AC Brotherhood & Revelations
Disc 3: AC 3


from the real pics posted above, it pretty much shows that's the way it is for PS3, as also shown on the rendered cgi "unboxing" ^_^

yep, it's been priced that low since it started popping up for pre-order weeks ago. Ozgameshop being the cheapest because it has free shipping, and even Mightyape has it for that low excluding shipping fee. ^_^

I've just found PS3 version for 106 EUR and xbox for 118 EUR. I dont like that green stripe on xbox box and its more expensive than PS3 edition. Could someone take some more detailed pics of the steelie from xbox and someone another for ps3 please?

The Xbox 360 steelbook will look exactly the same as the PS3 version Platfus, except it will be G1 instead of G2 :) xx

Platfus
12-03-2012, 10:16 AM
Yeah, so the only difference is dimensions?
And that xbox one can hold 6 discs? AC3 is on two discs like in PC edition?
Thanks :D

12-03-2012, 10:21 AM
Yeah, I think the steelbook will be exactly the same, with no difference to artwork or anything, as they aren't console branded. The Xbox one will just be G1, instead of G2 like the PS3 copy.

Yeah, I think I read somewhere on here that the Xbox one holds 6 discs, so that's another slight difference, but only to the plastic inside the steelbook (so 6 disc holders instead).

Obviously the outer box is different, but you've already noted that up above (the Xbox one has the white/green logo at the top of the box) etc.

But yeah, think that's all the info I really know about it haha :)

Really want to get one, but have no money right now :( So will just wait on a price drop :) xx

The Anthology is supposed to cover the story of Desmond Miles, ergo, AC3 being the final chapter. Ubisoft even said that they will release more AC games with a complete new cast of characters, which may include more female protagonist?!

If anything, the PlayStation version of the Anthology should have included both the PSP and Vita AC games in it imo.

Obviously Ubisoft won't kill of this franchise, but I was hoping they'd give us a break in 2013 :surrender:

On a side note
How many fans of the series want another game where for a thirds of the game we are taught how to play the game
And all missions follow the same pattern of
Assassinate this person
Pickpocket this person
Protect this person
Loot some chests
Does it not get a bit repetitive doing the same actions at the same time every year?

And BTW I'm not saying I am sick of the franchise just that I can see it happening if the gameplay (NOT STORY) does not see a major overhaul

i was reading on one of the video game blogs or newsfeeds about the next game being set in brazil..either it was on n4g.com or kotaku..and it said something along the lines of ubisoft recruiting some expert on brazilian portugese history and whatever happened to them back in the day..and ubisoft was denying the game even existing, but then some employee let it slip that indeed they were working on the next AC game and it was set in brazil..all this is unsubstaniated...remember ubisoft has DENIED them.

EDIT: oh my god, its actually 6 holder lol damn file that under (its 5 in the morning and i just woke up) didn't see clearly the extra middle holder :p
but you can say its basically designed to hold 4 which interests me, the extra holder because its Dvds and cause of AC3 being the first game to have 2 discs on the xbox.

Also the center divider/ disc holder is the standard type
As you can see I remover in in the last pic
So its possible to change it up for a 4 disc holder making this possibly an 8 disc case
And seeing as there are a lot more assassins creed games to come I might need to buy a second case
As I don't think they'll release an anthology volume 2 for game ac4-10
I'll contact there product design department and set this idea in motion
Identical box but in contrasting white and a "II" after anthology
See what they say
As they'd look so sweet next to each other

No no think you're ok with that one... :whew:

Great idea too :) :thumb:

Mags you'll get one eventually
But these are not unlimited
We all thought they would be
But they where a one run edition
Granted UBisoft biggest production run to date but they'll disappear eventually
Best bet is to stab one off eBay for 80gbp although I would have liked to have paid 75 tops for mine :( (99.99gbp paid )
The white box anthology 2 is a great idea
And the whole box in a matt white and the ac logo in glossy white so its only visible when light hits it

That the last one I saw, well done I think 75 is about right for what you get
Seeing as ubi have there own giclee printer so they only costs like 2 GBP or less to print
The one before I wanted as it was opened then I'd of had one of each
But it ended at 5pm and life was sooo busy that day I missed it

Does anyone know if the Uk anthology has multiple language options??? Ps3 - mine is sealed so can't check and my Mexican friend is asking if they play in Spanish or Portuguese :)

Thanks!! :)
