Draken Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 It's a me! Mario!!!!!epic... game is pretty cool so far, and for those of you who are confused, you'll get it eventually... Only beef with the game so far are the graphics, definitely could be A LOT better. I think they are excellent, they are sub-par for you compared to?

The character models in the cut scenes are a bit iffy but the environments are ace. Saying that the 360 is now 5 years old and beginning to show it's age. Compare MW2 with the PC for example. The difference even on a 720p resolution is astounding.

Compare MW2 with the PC for example. The difference even on a 720p resolution is astounding. MW2 isn't a great example, it's an engine focussed on multiplatform scalability and due to it trying it's best to run at 60FPS across both platforms it's not the greatest looker. The PC will always be better looking than consoles if you have the hardware, but on consoles exclusive games will always show off real hardware scalability. In saying that though I definitely think the Sony 1st party devs are doing a better job at showing off the PS3 than MS' devs. On that note though MS don't have the depth of 1st party Sony do and often rely on 3rd party devs to create exclusive 360 software.

Draken Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 hmm yeah, some textures are low res too, but nothing near like DA, that game is hideous on consoles and not to good on PC. whoaaaa another great moment!! boom headshot!!! :woot: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/843506-official-assassins-creed-2/page/5/#findComment-591855956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted November 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2009 My copy shipped today from Gamefly so hopefully I have it in a day or two. Anyone have any number for how long the SP Campaign is in hours? I am obviously renting it since it is GameFly and just wondering if it is feasible or not for me to even beat it.

TIA, DL Clocked 13,5 hours here before the credits and mainly only did the storyline and only 2 or 3 of the extra challenges. It's a pretty big singleplayer 'campaign', something you don't see too often these days. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/843506-official-assassins-creed-2/page/5/#findComment-591856186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not including the side quests and the secret Prince of Persia-esque aeras. 27 hours sounds a little high though. 15-20 hours first play-through and I'll be happy.

Colin.B Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Here's some screenshot comparisons for those who are undecided which platform do get the game on, PS3 or 360 I know I'm torn. I'd say the differences aren't as noticeable as they were with Dragon Age Origins. Maybe it's just me but the 360 version looks a little bit better. Oh and no, this is not a post to get the fanboys bitching. http://www.gameswire.net/comparisons/compa...-360_split.html Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/843506-official-assassins-creed-2/page/5/#findComment-591858018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelli Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The colours seem a bit richer in the 360 to the PS3, think I will pick it up for the 360, haven't played it in a while so could do with a good dust off. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/843506-official-assassins-creed-2/page/5/#findComment-591858252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelli Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just finished watching the Assasins Creed Lineage videos in HD from a certain non-landlubber cove. Very impressed and loved the setting and direction, really stoked for the game now.
