I can't seem to read or watch a review of this game without someone pointing out how awful the PS3 version looks compared to the 360 version. Some have actually gone on to say that the PS3 version is unplayable. I've officially played both at this point and the 360 version definitely looks and plays a bit better, but it's not by some astronomical margin. Am I blind here? I've never seen a version of game this badly exaggerated to look worse than it is.
Assassin's Creed II
Game » consists of 27 releases. Released Nov 17, 2009
The second installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise follows the life of Ezio Auditore da Firenze as he seeks revenge on those who betrayed his family.
360 vs PS3 (exaggerated)
The PS3 version has a bad frame rate and i've noticed that most reviewers need a solid frame rate or they say a game is unplayable at spots.
" Mass Effect and Fable 2 were a frame rate disaster but it didn't keep me from enjoying them. What you need to do is check up on the people that said this game is unplayable on the PS3 and see if they said the same thing about the two games I mentioned. "I haven't seen anyone say the PS3 version of Assassin's Creed 2 was unplayable i was just taking a guess to why they would say that though, seeing the OP said reviewers are.
" How does this game run in comparison to fallout 3 on the PS3? Seems to be a similar situation? I played fallout 3 on the PS3 and want this as well, so I'm curious to hear how the two compare. "I've played both on the PS3. Fallout 3 on PS3 is worse in comprison to the 360 version than Assassin's is compared to the 360 version. With that said. Assassin's runs much better in comparison to Fallout in that respect.
"In my 18 hour experience from start to finish the frame rate dropped a grand total of once. "
Same here, Although once I completed the game, it has crashed about three times, Once when it was loading and twice mid fight sequence,
I also noticed that the textures pop in after I finished,
" How does this game run in comparison to fallout 3 on the PS3? Seems to be a similar situation? I played fallout 3 on the PS3 and want this as well, so I'm curious to hear how the two compare. "I've played on both consoles and there is virtually no difference.
I played through the entire game on PS3 and the worst that I saw was some pop-in and sudden texture detailing. Nothing out of the ordinary for any large, open-world game.
Check here for side-by-side of the game on the two consoles.
" Played the PS3 version yesterday, had a very low frame rate the whole time. I wouldn't say unplayable but close. "Close to being unplayable? far from being unplayable. There are games with much worse frame rate out there, especially considering the frame rate on both consoles only differs by 5-10 frames, 10 being the worst and also the most rare.
