Assassin's Creed Revelations to include first game on PS3
by Andrew Yoon, Sep 19, 2011 6:30pm PDTHow do you fill up the extra space offered by Blu-ray? Just shove more games onto it, apparently. The PS3 version of Assassin's Creed Revelations will include a special system-exclusive bonus: the original Assassin's Creed game from 2007.
Altair, the protagonist from the first game, makes a reappearance in Revelations, meaning fans will be able see the beginning--and potentially, end--of his story.
Sony has sweetened many of their high profile third-party offerings over the years, by including additional games on the Blu-ray disc. Dead Space 2, for example, included a PlayStation Move-enhanced version of Dead Space Extraction.
"Whether being introduced to the award-winning original Assassin’s Creed for the first time or going back to relive the start of the epic journey, players will be drawn into the secret war between Templars and Assassins in ancient Jerusalem," the Ubisoft press release reads.
The press release notes that the deal is available on "day one copies," meaning this offer may be limited to the first few million copies of the game that are printed. So... don't delay?
Assassin’s Creed Revelations will be available on November 15, 2011.

I kind of agree about the lack of forward momentum in having new places, people and times to discover in AC:B/R, but I also kind of disagree, and think that they're very much worthwhile endeavours on the side. However, what they really need is to make them full-on edutainment. Picking through the games' conspiracy and rewritten history to learn a little about the Third Crusade and Renaissance Italy has taught me more about such interesting times than my school's history classes ever did, and if they had a proper "Here's the Assassin's Creed timeline and how it differs from reality; look at how incredibly fascinating the events and important people were in real life" thing, in addition to better research on the Animus database entries, it'd genuinely be an unrivalled learning experience.
(Along those lines, everyone should read Geop's 'Let's Play' of AC1 from the SA forums. He's great at discussing the motivations behind and events of the Third Crusade while playing through the game, along with other historical trivia like the architecture in the cities, the religious icons, their economies, and things like that. Overall, probably the best history lesson you'll ever enjoy. http://lparchive.org/Assassins-Creed/ ((And he's in the middle of doing the same for AC2 and the Renaissance on the Something Awful 'Let's Play' forum)) )
