@Nictel: I have played AC2 Brotherhood and haven't played Rev, Ryan talked about a recap of the the last games in 3(during a podcast iirc), so I haven't watched it when it was live and I advice to not watch this, because they play the game from the start.

Yes, if you haven't played Assassin's Creed 3 and have been kept pure do not watch this quick look.

I don't plan on watching this one yet because of spoilers but can anyone tell me if this version of the game runs well?

@JOURN3Y: It's very, well, OK, i guess. However, the thing is, they didnt not get a chance to show any footage of when you really get to explore the world, but judging from the beginning of the game where there's a bit of slow down, i wouldn't say it'd run great.

While the second screen use may be disappointing, lighting and shadowing are visible better than in the 360 version along with the overall fidelity of model close ups. Everything looks a tad nicer.

Want to avoid spoilers (have not played yet), so what's the consensus on this? I skipped around near the end trying to get a 'final word' but didn't really hear much. I get the impression it's probably at least as good, maybe some framerate hiccups, Game Pad is poorly implemented. Is that about right?

ryan, the blacks arent black because.... they arent!

However, there is some unwelcome news - specifically that the HDMI output is locked to limited-range RGB only, with footage from all games we've captured thus far revealing absolutely no information in the 0-16 or 235-255 areas. Many digital displays - PC monitors in particular - don't operate correctly with limited-range RGB, giving washed out colours principally defined by blacks being more grey-like in nature.
