Assassin’s Creed The Ezio Collection - Announcement Trailer

Its odd that the trailer is underwhelming when the original trailers are some of my favourites. Particularly the Revelations one. The music still gives me chills though. Regarding graphics, I always thought the faces were terrible, but I played AC2 right after Uncharted so that didn't help. I remember looking at Ezio and being baffled about how the main character could be so ugly, teeth were a particular issue for me, awful.

Are there people in this thread who are happy they excluded features in this re-release because it'll make for an easier platinum? Are you for fucking real?

Absolutely. MP trophies/achievements are literal bullshit if only because for some games you can't buy it even 6 months later and have a good community especially when Ubisoft thinks things like hit level 50 in MP is achievement worthy. It's not about an easier time it's about being fair to all players. You can't go buy AC brotherhood today and get the platinum. It's dead. Very dead. If they added in MP and didn't give it trophies/achievements then by all means do so.

Wow, even with the upgrades it went from a bad looking game to merely a less bad looking game. ACIII and Unity really were huge jumps.

Didn't expect much out of this anyway.

I sure would be, if I ever wanted to subject myself to Brotherhood again (I absolutely don't).
 
Some of my favourite games last gen. I will buy this, I don't give a shit if it's a lazy-ass port (as it obviously is) these games were so fun I will happily revisit them.
 
These games aren't very replayable I find. I liked them at the time of release (even Revelations) but time away from this franchise after ACIII has soured me on the games.

you can tell the improvements in Lighting we have seen on the current platforms, it looks so flat and dull and its only a few years ago really.

Felt like the odd one out when people were saying there was barely any improvement, even though i haven't touched the games in years I thought it was obvious.

Disappointed about no 60fps, but will wait for confirmation before dodging it.

Wait - do you realize how old AC2 for example is? The recommended CPU requirement for max PC settings is a Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 @ 2.6 GHz

Are you joking? Is this some kind of new sarcasm? I'm not sure anymore.

An intel Core 2 Duo E6700 is MORE POWERFUL than what's on a PS4:

Remember that the PS4's CPU is roughly equivalent but underclocked to that AMD CPU. Severly underclocked if it's under heavy GPU load.

Just like every Ubisoft CE, this will be $30 in nine months time. These never sell out.

Not anymore. I think they're made to order now to an extent. Because I'm pretty sure the Watch Dogs 2 CE isn't up anymore. They only sell them on the Uplay store now too.
 
I will be picking this up. Three of my favorite games in one set and sinc my PS3 has been wigging out on me, it'll be nice to have on a newer machine.

Wish they'd bring Rogue to X1 and PS4 though. It shouldn't be forgotten.

I would buy Rouge, like yesterday. I really wanted to play that.

Any word on if 3D support is getting dropped for Revelations?

I freaking hate it when remasters downgrade themselves by removing that feature.

Leaning towards not buying it. I love II & Brotherhood buuuut no MP? That's not a big problem for me since the SP is great but the fact that it's excluded..... It's all about the principle.

Ummm I'm still waiting to get syndicate and Unity for that price. Where are they?

As others have mentioned Unity has been super cheap for a long while now. I bought it a year or so ago for 15 bucks at Target.

OT: Disappointing to see what seems like little work put into this collection, would have been nice to get some updated textures/geometry and 60 fps but it is what it is. I'll pick it up at some point as I've only played an hour or two of II and not played either of the other games.

Leaning towards getting it and I'm actually glad there's no multiplayer for Brotherhood and Revelations included. You try doing Abstergo Employee of the Month trophy/achievement in Brotherhood or dealing with Revelations' multiplayer where it's constantly looking for host.

Still, collect them feathers in 1080p.

Would have strongly considered it, if it was 60FPS.

I may as well just re-play them on PC. What an unusually lazy collection.
