Fair warning now – there’s going to be a deluge of Assassin’s Creed coverage over the next few days, as the game’s creative director, Patrice Desilets, has ventured out from Ubisoft’s Montreal studio to visit Australia. We saw a presentation of Creed today, and there’s a one-on-one Q&A tomorrow, so expect me to make the most of it.
For now, here’s a shot of the official Assassin’s Creed faceplate for Xbox 360. Ubisoft handed them out today along with a quill and some pink ink, just in case I suddenly feel the need to scribe how hetero I am on the walls of my house. There’s also a close-up shot after the jump.
If you have any questions you’d like me to take to Patrice, be sure to leave a comment!

Ask her when the game will be available in Aus, and whether they’ve gotten around the troubles with dvd size, and PS3 memory.

Monday, October 22, 2007 at 2:07 PM@ Andrew Low: Patrice Desilets is a guy :p
I would sincerely like you to ask him the following:
1) With a cross-platform game as anticipated as Assassin’s Creed, do you find it necessary to ensure that both the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions are as similar as possible?
2) (follow-up to previous) You’ve previously highlighted the contrasting design decisions made with the 360 and PS3 (HDD vs. larger media (Blu-Ray). Are there any plans for future development to utilise each system’s strength? What do you see as the differences these strengths would make for Assassin’s Creed in particular.
To clarify #2:
- ‘Assassin’s Creed developeed solely for PS3 would be different how?’
- ‘Assassin’s Creed developed solely for XBOX 360 would be different how?’

Tuesday, October 23, 2007 at 5:44 PMSame questions as Andrew. Would be very awesome to get a confirmed Australian release date (please dont be the 30th) and will the face plates be available in Australia as well?
The only other question is…Can i come to wherever you are at and play AC with you and Patrice? :D

As for the faceplates, they’re promo-only. However, you can win one: http://www.kotaku.com.au/games/2007/10/win_an_assassins_creed_360_faceplate.html
