IGN stated the differences between the Xbox 360 version and PS3 version of Assassins Creed. The differences being smoother framerate on Xbox 360 and abymal v-sync problems on the PS3 version.

IGN said:
do come at a severe cost on PS3. There is considerable texture pop-in and noticeable framerate issues. Playing back-to-back with the 360 version, it's obvious that Ubisoft did not devote enough resources to the PS3 edition. The framerate is considerably worse, so much so that it begins to affect gameplay in the later levels.

GAMESPOT

Gamespot stated the PS3 version was the definate version to buy. both having better framerate AND less v-sync problems.

Gamespot said:
There are few differences between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. PS3 owners are blessed with a slightly more solid frame rate, although the 360 version features a little more contrast in the lighting, so it's pretty much a wash. But regardless of which platform you go with, you'll have an amazing and unforgettable game. Assassin's Creed is the kind of game you tell your friends about, and one that should be in your collection.

Between these sites its VERY obvious one of the two is totally lying on the very obvious problems of one of the versions.

In the shop we hooked up both systems and ran the game during the same conditions and lo and behold, the 360 version is absolutely the game to buy. The 360 version is running a lot more smooth and keeps up 30fps most of the time. Only when the game dips below 30fps some very minor v-sync problems start to appear.
The PS3 version is abysmal by comparison, having a framerate thats rarely 30fps and having v-sync problems running all over the place. The game is very hard to follow due to extreme jumping around of the backgrounds and so on.

How deep is the moneyhat going around the different sites and how much longer before someone calls Sony out ?

Or one of them is just incompetent at this. No need to grab the money conspiracy hat every time.

Gamespot might not have been playing retail discs. We've heard lots of stories of pre-release 360 discs not running as well as the final product.

Anyway, if you are so keen on the conspiracy aspect, why not post that rubbish here?

I'm not paranoid dude ... its not a life and deatn situation ;)

Why am i REALLY pissed onthis issue. Simple, i run a shop and my opinion is on one side based on own experiences and on the other hand on the general consensus on messageboards and the bigger sites.

Turning off a load of options in the PS3's dashboard is rumored to speed things up.(Ticker, Wi-Fi, PS2 upscaling etc.)

Can anybody confirm this is the case?

Jade Raymond threw money from the grassy knoll, leaving Patrice to be apprehended in the book depository, thus setting in motion the greatest conspiracy ever concocted.

I heard the v-sync goes back and to the left most of the time.

Ubisoft coder says Gamespot has them mixed up...

Since the cat is out of the ol' bag, I'll just go ahead and say that Gamespot mixed their platforms up. Dunno about contrast (PS3 games always seem more washed out to me), but from everything I know, the 360 runs better.

Also, I'm really not surprised about the wide range of reviews. I've always been convinced it would be a love it or hate it game.

So far, the loves are winning, so I'm happy!

More resources were spent on the PS3 version.

Did anyone else feel the Gametrailer's guy was going out of his way to avoid the problems with AC and insist it was so awesome it overcomes such trifling limitations? He seemed really pressed to make that reassurance, which struck me as odd.

I thought it was interesting that Charles claimed the PS3 version had more resources put into yet it doesn't quite compare with the 360 version.

The same was said for Ratchet.. its false.

Anyway, too bad Ubisoft didnt have the power to step up. Might skip on this game now. :/

I have the PS3 version, and I can confirm that there's some tearing (v-sync issues) and it doesn't run 100% smooth all the time, but the so-called "slowdowns" are so small that it really doesn't matter at all. It's the tearing that's the worst part, and not even that is so bad.

Haven't tried the X360 version, so can't confirm wether it looks better, moves better or tears less. I only bought the PS3 version 'cause my wireless X360 controller have gone to the heavens, and not returned. I'll probably won't get a new controller until Lost Oddyssey or something huge like that. I've not been convinced with the battle mode in Mass Effect, so I probably won't get that this year.

Nope, does nothing at all. Lowering the resolution isn't doing anything to the v-sync problems.

Yeah... Sony is really being treated amazing by the media the last couple of years, something has got to be suspicious. :sarcasm.

Seriously, not sure why Gamespot did that but to attack Sony for money hatting with the amount of hate they've gotten from every media outlet since E3 2005, you've must of been living under a rock.

trust me, its bad ... real bad. The 360 version is in a whole different league.


As to wheter or not you can trust me... well, you can't, just take my word for what its worth and check it out for yourself. IGN in this case is correct and Gamespot is totally wrong. The PS3 version is really bad COMPARED to the 360 version.

Don't state anything on one version or the other if you have not tried both versions, your opinion is biased by default.

Wait, did I miss the thread where the PS3 version of COD4 was inferior? I presume it's that way around.

You forgot Eurogamer's Sega Rally is 60fps faux pas too.

2Nd is exact, overall identical (worst in some way , better in other)
Cant say about uncharted, didnt play the final version.

ANyway , this thread is shit, if every fanboy make his own thread about his bias for every multi game, were going deep down..

Apparently if you get super close to the walls in the game the 360 versions textures look better. This is how nitpicky things have become.

No no.. you have to use the in-game scanning electron microscope, at those extreme levels the PS3 version lacks a certain form of subsurface bump-mapping, possibly due to XMB taking up a whopping 79% of the system RAM.

Reviewers didn't seems to spot any differences with The Darkness, where one version ran at 560p and other 720p with AA and motion blur. Most people either can't see it, or don't care.

Assassins Creed has a more consistent framerate and slightly less pop-in on 360. CoD4 has lower resolution textures on PS3 (1/16 resolution in some cases).
