"Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 3&amp;#039;s project lead has discussed the leap to the next generation of consoles. Creative director Alex Hutchinson said the jump will be an &amp;quot;interesting hardware transition&amp;quot; due to higher production costs.   &amp;quot;I remember going from PS2 to 360 or GameCube to PS3, there was a huge jump and it really gave us the opportunity to do much bigger open worlds of higher fidelity,&amp;quot; he told Digital Spy. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s not a lot, really... graphically obviously there&amp;#039;ll be new stuff and a little bit more detail, but with higher detail comes higher cost. &amp;quot;So in a weird way we&amp;#039;re at that point where everything that is a plus is also a minus because we have to pay for it. I think its going to be a very interesting hardware transition for the business.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;I remember people saying the PS1 to PS2 hardware transition put a lot of companies out of business. I think the distance between your blockbusters and your lower budget games is going to get even wider.&amp;quot; Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 3 entered development after Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 2 was finished in 2009. The title is on course to break Ubisoft&amp;#039;s record for the most pre-ordered game of all time. &amp;gt; Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 3 E3 2012 preview: Eight anticipated features &amp;gt; Read our Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 3 interview with Ubisoft Watch a trailer for Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 3 below:   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
