replies: text: Really? Than why were you linking to CVG instead of OXM, and why is CVG the only one who seems to know about this? Just another rumor. 
edit: Joystiq links to the CVG article as well, but again, the only source that says this is CVG. Let's wait for news from IGN and Gamespot.

message: Added Parkour to features since producer Jade Raymond mentioned this in a video interview with Gametrailers.com. For confirmation go here: http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?fs=1&id=2581 or more specifically: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=10528&type=mov&pl=game (note: 46 MB)
     I also added Parkour under Categories because it's one of the more important aspects of the game. Tom F 22:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems strange that everytime it is mentioned that this game Had or will have something to de with microsoft or the xbox it is removed with out an explanation. Like the details with it being shown at an old E3 with microsoft - Romoved no question- It being listed as rumoured on the xbox 360 - Removed no question. What is going on? Even facts are being removed, I think we have some stuck up fanboy going crazy.Jimmy93211 14:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Funny, I'm stil waiting for those officiial announcements of game being multiplatform. I don't think you want to start an argument of who the real fanboy is here. 
Edit: btw, I don't know who removed the lines about the game running on 360 hardware or anything of the sort, if they are sourced they should be put back in. I only remove release platforms other then ps3 (we had 360, pc and even wii listed plenty of times, all without a shred of evidence other then rumores that have yet to be substantiatied.

message: It says that Assassin's Creed uses a Proprietary engine, but the Unreal Engine page says it uses the Unreal Engine 3 (look under the Announced projects section of UE3).  Perhaps this should be looked into and cleared up? Luckless666 14:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for that IGN link. The GameSpot one didn't confirm if it would ship along with the PS3 version. The main body of the article still needs some cleaning up to do in regards to this subject. I'll see if I can't remove some of the out of date information from the article.

thread_title: Better on 360!

message: I was browsing around the Xbox game forums and found a thread with a post about reserving a copy of the game. I was sceptical that the guy who wrote it was lying but I found it. Maybe the only one out there but on the EBgames website; there is a section for Assassins creed on the PS3 and Xbox 360 (http://www.ebgames.com/search.asp?Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&Ntt=assassins+creed&N=0&find.x=31&find.y=16&find=Search) should this be considered a reliable source of information that we could add to the release date instead of just Q1 2007? Tom F 22:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: they are accepting reservations for the game because that's what they do, they sell reservations for the game.  even if they are privy to release date information before the developer or producer announces it publically it's still not offical until the dev or pub does so.  all other release dates are, by definition, speculative.

message: Who keeps on removing the line about Altair's missing finger?
It's fact. According to Jade Raymonds he IS missing a finger in order to make room for the mechanical dagger on his arm.
I forget where I read this (almost certan it came from jade's mouth or on OFFICIAL website.)his finger was also taken off as a initiaition (and the blade) to become one of the higher ranking assassins in the sect.might want to add this
Jade said it in the only Dev. Diary on the website. --Plankton5005 05:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing Finger 

message: i found on this link Altair's full name http://ps3.qj.net/category/Assassin-s-Creed/cid/1643 which says and i quote "His full name is Altair Ibn'La-Ahad which roughly translates into "Altair, Son of None." 
20:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On this topic, I suggest transliterating "Altair" to "الطيار" in the sentence detailing his name - I'd do it myself, but to be honest I've never edited a wikipedia article before, so I'll just stick to the comments page for now. The suggested transliteration is from Google Translate for "the flyer" but it is the same for just "flyer" as well. I am taking an Arabic class and can vouch for the pronunciation, anyway. I have not seen his name spelled in Arabic on any website based on the game but it doesn't make sense to me to not include the word. Any native Arabic speakers to add some weight to this? 24.16.155.89 06:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  What the? 

message: Who changed the release dates?
There's been no confirmation from Ubisoft at all...I'm reverting the changes.
: i think the logic was that since ubisoft has confirmed a 2007 release date and that it is already almost april that it would have to be second half of 2007 to come out this year since the first half is pretty much over.  whether or not this would be considered 'official' is up for debate though even though it's clearly the only logical result of a confirmed 2007 release. Tetracycloide 16:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: the first quarter is over (only about a week left) and release dates in the second quarter have been announced.  assassin's creed was not among them hince the 'second half of '07.'  anyone can take the information we have on the release and come to the conclusion that it will be out some time after june '07 which places it squarely in the second half of '07.  that's not to say that we should put that in the article even if it is the logical implication of the information on hand since it has not be explicitly stated by ubisoft yet.

message: Someone should consider locking this page because there are too many people putting the release date from EB Games as the official one.
IT ISN'T.
:locks are usually reserved for serious cases of vandalism, one or two unique editers a day putting up the wrong release date in good faith quailifies as neither serious nor vandalism.  Tetracycloide 15:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yah. Locking an entire page because 2 people keep changing the release date is overkill. Im new to Wikipedia as an editor but if anything (if possible) just lock the release date portion. If thats not possible then dont bother.

:Hi - can you describe the part were the quote ""Nothing is true.

thread_title: PEGI Rating

message: There are two reliable and respected sources (Eurogamer and Joystiq) stating that its release is November 9. Indeed, the Eurogamer article states they were contacted by Ubisoft because the dates for Haze were incorrect. Wouldn't Ubisoft also have told them if Assassin's Creed was incorrect? As long as the sources are there, and remain Nov 9, that's what the release date should be. If Ubisoft come out and say it's not November 9, and someone can provide a source, that's fine, but at the moment, Eurogamer and Joystiq are what we have to go on. Fin©™ 23:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Play.com uses November 9th as the UK release date. That's three reliable sources. I think it's enough to put in the article.
