Assassin's Creed Anthology coming November 29

[jak_1811]

Hi collectors, good news for us, today Amazon.fr put up for sale this new edition called AC Anthology. It should contain AC1, AC2 and AC3 but just PS3 and Xbox versions, not PC.
No pictures has been shown, just name, release date and price which is 150 euro, a price too high for a bundle of three games. So we should expect some kind of amazing box with gorgeous stuff inside for that price!

I assume that for this price, brotherhood and revelations will be included as well. Would seem weird to leave them out.

[Ryaku]

it's only in France ?

[jak_1811]

Yes it seems so. @Ingmar well an anthology is a collection of the most important pieces of a whole, not a set of every single part. Brotherhood and Revelations are at the end just AC2 expansions, so I don't think they'll be included in this pack.

[Ryaku]

too expensive for 4 old games that we can find for 15 euros and the last for 50 Euros

Depends on how you look at it. I think brotherhod and revelations are important because of the desmond miles story they tell. For instance, in brotherhood desmond finds an apple of eden and that one he uses to open up a door in AC3.

So as said i think both of them are important to the story as a whole

[LowlyAssassin]

It comes with three books too

Edt sorry I read it wrong

[Evilhawk]

where do you you see that?

[LowlyAssassin]

Nope I read it wrong

[jak_1811]

Thanks Ryaku this justifies that price... Hope they'll upload pictures soon

[Twisted]

how can release be less than a month away?..with no official ubisoft announcement?...no official pics?..not sure where Ryaku got his information?.not that i'm discounting it..just there's no description listing...and such..plus price of 150 euro...i mean, this damn thing better be similiar to japan and limited edition to 5,000 :) and for that price,..it better not be those greatest hits style packaging either!...we need either new art or black labels.

No figurine or statue?!! Pass! :bday:

But steelbook and lithograph collectors may love this.
Will be interestingthe see what "Pachet special". I'm assuming it means special box? Kinda disappointed with the cardboard materials using for Freedom Edition and JoD Edition when they claimed it was a "collectors box.. :think:

The EU freedom was really nice. Are you referring to the Asia freedom edition being cardboard?

[Twisted]

Ubisoft sure knows how to milk us fans to $$$$$$$ death for this franchise..that they keep rehashing and repackaging over and over and over..and we all clamour and jump for it :)..at least AC fanboys and fangirls :D

[LeX]

Interesting,
Now I can disregard the Japan Ezio Saga, and go with this one instead..
what's a pachet special anyway?

[ingmar1988]

it translates as special packaging. Could be anything really.

[mosavon]

ANOTHER Assassins Creed 3 Steelbook? ffs...hope its the same as the Freedom Edition one i cant take anymore spending on this damn game.

Lemur will be pleased :haha:

[jak_1811]

Bad news. I chatted for a while with an Amazon employee, he told me that there is no content in the box except for the games. Here is the original message

J'esp?re que ces informations vous seront utiles.

Merci d'avoir choisi Amazon.fr.

[Twisted]

that's mighty expensive for 5 old release games..i hope it's more like Japan and in a fancy package and not some greatest hits or essentials type bundle in a generic box.

[Ayiu]

a promotional picture has been released

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/news/acanth.jpg

seems that it comes with the lithographs and the Steelbooks despite what the guy from amazon.fr told us. He probably just quoted the listing from the product because he didn't know it better :)

[jak_1811]

:nosleep: Want that steelbook....
Here you can see better the picture http://www.assassins-creed.ru/uploads/images/ac3_anthology01.jpg.
All AC games, all DLC, five lithographs and that amazing steelbook :drool:
I want it!!!!!

[jak_1811]

It has just been officially announced by Ubisoft, EU exclusive (not just french) and includes ALL the DLCs released until now and in the future!
Well, it rocks :bananayes:

[Twisted]

does anybody know if the steelbook will be G2 for the PS3 version?

[mosavon]

Highly doubtful, there hasn't been a single G2 assassins creed steelbook to date.

[NaughtyDogJames]

Actually Assassins Creed Liberation was a G2.

[LowlyAssassin]

And the assassins creed revelations black box was g1 and g2

[vhal_x]

Actually Assassins Creed Liberation was a G2.

Yeah, but it was for a handheld game, so used the same jumbo G2 dimensions as the 3DS steels, just with a different insert.

And the assassins creed revelations black box was g1 and g2

That's not a steelbook though, and I believe it was created by Game4Game themselves (or gamesonly, whichever one it came from) xx

[NaughtyDogJames]

Still an Assassins Creed game though and the inserts were the only thing that seperated it from a normal Steelbook.

[mosavon]

& the fact its a jumbo one?

[LowlyAssassin]

What's a jumbo one?
In this new pack?nobody knows yet

[mosavon]

What? i'm answering naughtydogjames.

[NaughtyDogJames]

The insert is what makes it a jumbo one isn't it?

[vhal_x]

No, a jumbo one is twice the thickness xx

[NaughtyDogJames]

Derp. I wa thinking only the insert was double the thickness. Not sure how that would work. :facepalm:

[mosavon]

Lol James, Jumbo steelbook's are massive and ugly, you wont see lemur collecting that haha

[LowlyAssassin]

What? i'm answering naughtydogjames.

You ended with a question mark and didn't quote anyone so I thought this was a question

[NaughtyDogJames]

Lol James, Jumbo steelbook's are massive and ugly, you wont see lemur collecting that haha

Obese infact ;)

[mosavon]

I answered under james, so its pretty obvious really. Besides, the liberation jumbo was the talking point, so obviously talking about that.

[LowlyAssassin]

Notmnecesarily
As some people just read a title and then jump in with a question but OK thank you for clearing it up and I appologize for my obvious stupidity

[mosavon]

No worries :D

[Lemur]

Lol James, Jumbo steelbook's are massive and ugly, you wont see lemur collecting that haha

Hey I have a couple of jumbos, I just don't show/display them. One day I'll do the jumbo parade for those with obese fetish :rotf:

[Matrix6]

I hope it's not a big boned steelbook :S

[Cosmic_Link]

I hope it's not a big boned steelbook :S

Fatty's need some loving too! ;)

[Hans Groesse]

What's the platform to go with this boxset? Xbox or PS3? Is this right, that the PS3 version of AC3 has more content in terms of side quests? If yes, will these side quests be available as dlc for Xbox some time? If not, then I will definately buy the PS3 version - if so, the Xbox version. What do you think?

Thanks!

[NaughtyDogJames]

PS3. Exclusive 3 and Brotherhood dlc (not coming to Xbox).

[Hans Groesse]

Alright, cool, thanks! :)

[Twisted]

also look at the PS3 collection exterior collectors box..it is all clean and in 1 color totally harmonizing box..while the xbox360 has that giant off putting white and green banner making the box look ungainly..plus the PS3...has a collection of HD BLU RAY DISCS..the standard of the future and more expensive to make..while the xbox360 has older dvd disks..for the same price...which one you will take if you have both systems?..

[Hans Groesse]

Hey Twisted, thanks for the info! Now it's clear, I'll buy the PS3 version.

It's going to be my first Assassin's Creed buy so far. For some of you I'm sure it's hard to believe. (No, I'm not living under a rock, just was not interested in the AC franchise so far) :D

[LowlyAssassin]

My view is the reason the ps3 has the exclusive content is that don't paid for it as the sales figure for the Xbox 360 are a lot higher then the ps3 version
and I think that's the main reason, yes I know there is a big history of creed initially being planned as a Sony exclusive but I don't think that's why there is only exclusive doc for brotherhood and 3, if it where true I would expect exclusive for all five games

When you look at the stats for ac3 ps3 vs 360. The 360 blows the ps3 away, so imagine if there was no ps3 exclusive content
Last check there was 32 centuries and 66 years of single player on 360
And 29 centuries and 37 years on ps3
Multiplayer figures
1 c 55 yr ps3
2c 24 yr xbox

[Hans Groesse]

Very interesting piece of information LowlyAssassin. Thank you for this insight!

[Twisted]

does anybody know of any real life pics of this set?..or better yet,..an unboxing video?

[Hans Groesse]

It will be released on November 29th ;) but here is a pictures of it:
