US Trailer

So I went back and watched the cutscenes on pc to find like for like scenes. Seems like they redid a lot of the texture work and lighting in AC2. Some quick and dirty comparisons.

With faces that move like that I can't imagine rebuilding the models and reusing the animation data would go over well. >_> Add these comparisons to the OP?

 

[Theorry]

Hmm doesnt look that much better if i am honest.

 

[JaseC]

Bah, no PC release, apparently. I was hoping for a correctly-functioning PC version of AssCreed 2.

 

[Ivan 3414]

It's crazy how bad those faces look now.

 

[Rogas]

Hello again, square hands.

 

[HonMirin]

... Does nobody like Altair?

 

[purseowner]

Beautifully remastered in stunning 30fps.

 

[SlimySnake]

looks like a straight remaster. no extra texture work done.

 

[bananafactory]

Beautifully remastered in stunning 30fps.

Seriously. What the hell

looks like a straight remaster. no extra texture work done.

Thats just a port, not a remaster. But I agree.

 

[jelly]

Watching that, I really don't miss Assassins Creed.

 

[Calibos]

Excellent trio of games. Worth it for new players, but not sure if it would be worth it for the upgrades. They were my favorite in the series because the sorytelling and gameplay were pretty spot on.

 

[Alpende]

The trailer left my underwhelmed.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Yup, I'm getting this sometime next year.

 

[Salarians]

No multiplayer

 

[Chase17]

Same day as watch dogs?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Bah, no PC version, apparently. I was hoping for a correctly-functioning PC version of AssCreed 2.

What's wrong with it? Played through it last year and it seemed fine. Shadow draw distance was shit but eh.

30fps is very, VERY disappointing. Especially with the upgrade not looking particularly huge.

 

[Frostinferno]

They just took this and made it 1080p and called it a day.

 

[oni-link]

Still no Rogue on current gen then

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

Requiescat in pace.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I loved all these games at release, but I could not imagine buying this and playing through them all again back to back to back.

 

[frontovik]

I noticed that they didn't feature the boring modern day segments in the trailer.

 

[boinx]

Damn dude these games kinda look like poop these days

 

[Morts]

Maybe digitally they'll let me just buy Brotherhood.

 

[Max_Po]

30 fps..... LOL

 

[Nori Chan]

NOOOOOO

NO MULTIPLAYER 😭😭😭

 

[SJRB]

Releasing on the same day as Watchdogs 2, are they fucking crazy?

Why?

 

[Mifec]

What's wrong with it? Played through it last year and it seemed fine. Shadow draw distance was shit but eh.

30fps is very, VERY disappointing. Especially with the upgrade not looking particularly huge.

LOD settings don't work.

 

[mitx]

Didn't remember the faces looking so bad..

I don't think i can go back to those games, but that trailer made me miss Ezio..

 

[JaseC]

What's wrong with it? Played through it last year and it seemed fine. Shadow draw distance was shit but eh.

It's not just shadows; the entire LOD system is broken. The game is certainly playable, but also quite an eyesore. It's utterly shameful (though not surprising) that Ubi never fixed the issue, frankly.

 

[DeathSparks]

Free movie ticket included, thanks Ubisoft

 

[GhostOfSparta305]

Beautifully remastered in stunning 30fps.

Nothing to see here then.

 

[etta]

The hell, this just looks like a 1080p port.

 

[Elginer]

Hmmm... kind of want.

 

[matrix-cat]

I loved all these games at release, but I could not imagine buying this and playing through them all again back to back to back.

I was going to say this. They're all very, veeeery similar, and playing them one after the other would be a real slog. All that trademark Ubisoft bar-filling and checklist-ticking. All those towers. I guess if you just wanted to blast through the main story it might be OK.

 

[Ascenion]

No multiplayer

NOOOOOO

NO MULTIPLAYER 😭😭😭

Thank god it isn't there. I don't want my 1000/1000 fucked up by bullshit achievements because you know they would put those back in too.

 

[Hjod]

Ehh no.

Even though I enjoyed them when they first were released I won't be double dipping this time. And 30fps? Come on.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

The craziest part of this trailer is at the end where they claim that a "free" movie ticket can be covered by $8.

 

[rdytoroll]

What a lazy ass port

 

[capitalCORN]

... Does nobody like Altair?

For some strange reason, I prefer the first Assassin's Creed. Mostly because I couldn't stand the fucking Italian accents during Ezio's run, and Altair had a real man's voice.

 

[LordBaztion]

Hope revelations still comes to BC. Also I still haven't played Roger because no BC.

 

[Give War A Chance]

... Does nobody like Altair?

i do

 

[Creaking]

Hardly (if at all) touched up graphics, 30fps, no multiplayer.

 

[ComputerBlue]

No multiplayer, hardly much of an upgrade, if any, 30fps? lol.

They are some of my favorite games, especially AC2, but yeah...This collection seems pretty effortless.

Might pick it up when it's on sale for $10 in a years time.

 

[Hoje0308]

i do

I do as well.

 

[tearsintherain]

Still no Rogue on current gen then

I finally played Rogue recently on PC, was always hoping for a PS4 remaster but gave up. Its... not that good. I like to think of it as AC4, but with the Carribean replaced by Canada, the pirates replaced by Canadians, and the redcoats replaced by The French. Soooo... yeah.

I mean its worth a play through for any AC fan, but it was pretty boring and has all the usual AC flaws without anything really that interesting going for it.

Its too bad this trilogy is kinda weak, I mean I'll probably pick it up when its $10-15 digitally - 3 or 4 months after release - and I'm sure it'll be fun, but it looks like the remaster with the least amount of effort to date.

 

[killroy87]

Hmm, these visuals don't exactly stand up to just a simple upres.

Doesn't look that great, to be honest.

 

[EmiPrime]

Will buy 6 months from now for £15 like every Assassin's Creed ever.

 

[IgotElbows]

It's weird how some games are being remastered by stripped of multiplayer.
Bioshock 2
AC 2/Brotherhood.

I imagine if DeadSpace2 gets a HD port it will be removed as well.

 

[Palette Swap]

... Does nobody like Altair?

When he'll learn to swim.

 

[Kinyou]

No improved graphics and apparently not even 60fps? I have to say I wonder a little why they took so long.
