Sad AC2 is not a good game to play in exio collection because it looks horrible.

I recently bought a PS3 Slim, it was my dream when i was a kid and now i was able to get it, it came with the 3 ezio games, ffxiii and GoW ascension, good pack for 150 euros (including a TV), and i noticed immediately the vast difference between the original AC games compared to the remasters, i personally like the increase on texture resolution, but for the rest they broke the atmosphere completely. Back then they made the games working around the limitations of each system, and thanks to that they had to get creative when working on the visual aspect of the games, that ended up with these really marked designs that looked really good, since nowdays they have such huge amount of resources many don't tend to think about how they made games 10 or 15 years ago and when working on projects like this, they tend to break the original atmosphere of the games...

There is more wrong with ezio collection, he failed to mention the new yellow piss filter in ezio collection of brother hood which makes the lighting look much worse than the original. Also when you climb to a high vantage point at night, all of the light sources are gone in a ezio collection of AC2 and brotherhood, which completely ruins the vibe and gives the city a eerie dead feel. Also there were shadow glitches in Venice in AC 2 where shadows weren't rendering properly. The bloom is an aesthetic choice and adds to the dreamy historic vibe of these games. The originals are way better imo

The Switch is such a brilliant console, we have never had such a huge supply of high-quality games in a portable format.

Lost me at 30fps. Seems like a lazy port.

My guess for the audio mixing issues is not due to performance, but rather due to an aggressive loudness compensation/volume normalization filter. The port developer likely did this because the expectation was that most hours will be played with these versions on the small, relatively tinny speakers on the Switch, so they compressed the audio mix to make it more on-the-go-friendly. It would be nice if, when docked, it would return to a more dynamic audio mixing, like the original games or the Xbox One/PS4 Ezio Collection mix. Alternatively, it would be fantastic if there were settings to change to a more dynamic mix if you are using wired/wireless headphones.

The very real possibility of hardware DLSS 2.x support in a Switch 2 is exciting. It's no longer a pipe dream, since Nvidia has the Ampere mobile parts and laptop parts now. They also contain optional extensions for prior gen back compat. - including Maxwell era. So a Super Switch/Switch 2 could absolutely feature the mobile Ampere part or hybrid mobile/laptop APU part, and support Switch 1 back compat. along with full DLSS support. Performance/battery saving for sure. And then we have an interesting possibility with the Switch 2 dock. If the docking bus bandwidth interface between handheld and dock is sufficiently wide, you could include a small array of specific Tensor/CU cores in the dock to enable stronger ML/AI for DLSS. I.e., 1080p to 4K reconstruction towards 4K display output. Anyway, lots of opportunities there, and the manufacturing cost will be reasonable by the time Nintendo is ready to move forward with a Switch successor.

AMD just has no real counterpart to DLSS. You really can't run Ray Tracing at both high framrates and higher resolutions without it. That's why I haven't been impressed with these new consoles. Cyberpunk for instance can only run RT shadows losing it's intended aesthetic. Even regular rastureized games on the new unreal engine are going to struggle to hit anything near 4k if they choose to cater to people who expect atleast 60fps in every game which seems likely. I've yet to see any impressive looking game without compromises from these new consoles. Spiderman Miles Morales being the only exception so far. With Nvidia in their pocket not only should they implement in the next switch but they should make a non portable powerhouse leveraging Nvidia and market it as a true next gen console, because we all know sony and microsoft will go the enhanced console route mid gen. Nintendo can swoop in and take the hardcore audience as well.

This is pretty cool and would love to revisit these games. Although I’d love to see them shoehorn the latest games like Valhalla.

There is no way to scale down Valhalla and make it "decent" looking on Switch. It demands too much CPU and RAM. They couldn't even downscale AC Odyssey, and perhaps not Origins.

It seems like the biggest downfall is basically that they didn't base it off the original 360/PS3 versions, but I'm glad they run and look well. Hopefully been a patch since this video as I'm genuinely going to purchase it. Also just to add Assassions Creed 3 launched rough with performance issues, but they genuinely fixed that up. Pretty much all AC games on Switch perform pretty great now. Think the best AC port goes to Black Flag so far.

The only glaring issue I’ve seen so far in AC2 is when you drop a smoke bomb. Other then that I’m so happy I can play this on the go.

It would be cool if you did a steam deck comparison as well

Nada melhor que poder reviver as aventuras de Ezio no banheiro

Great Oliver, analysis, thank you

this is a random thought but i wish they would take assassins creed and give it more of a Sifu style combat. It just seems more realistic and involved to me

You lot should start including comparisons between Switch and Steam Deck.

Looking forward to your GTA5 comparison.

I started AC 2 on PC and got 20 hours in and my save file deleted itself.

The Ezio trilogy is still best played on the PS3 or X360. The load times may be a pain, but they look how they’re supposed to. Ezio remains the best AC protagonist.

I would have preferred a 900pD/600pH rather than them shooting for full res and just cutting a ton of image enhancements.

Wish there was a port for the PSP.

Well the ezio collection was native 4k on ps4 pro

To bad you didn't say a word about the new option on the horizon of portable handhelds because there is a new kid on the block! So I wonder *how the original releases work on Steam Deck?* Maybe even with downscaling from 1080p or even higher to get a sharper image (if that is possible on the Deck). Maybe from Steam or even GOG cause I was told it should be easy to install the Linux versions of GOG or EPIC store in Steam OS? When the original versions are more aesthetic wouldn't it be wise to play these without paying the extra on this special port? +Digital Foundry And for my taste you would not have to cover dock mode as much because such games could be played easily on XBox, PS or PC the last years. The only point in buying it for the switch is portable gaming - at least how I see it. Otherwise ... somehow it's a pleasure to see this "youngtimers" back again! It wakens good feelings and makes me want so play them. Good job!

brahs, I have been playing gotg on Series X, and I honeslty think the difference between the 1080p in performance mode, and 4k mode in quality mode is fairly negligible. Ray tracing mode (1440pish) looks the same as the 4k mode. and I game on a 77'' tv

I don't want to hate on Switch, because I think it's a very cool hybrid console, but let's not fool ourselves: it just isn't meant for multiplatform games. And now with Steam Deck and a huge library of compatible games, there's even less reason to buy a Switch if not for exclusive first party games.

I imagine because One S is the closest point of comparison.

If you are planning to compare playing older games on steam deck, it would be nice if you could include one of the AC2 games to the comparison. It would give some additional perspective to Nintendo switch and where the handheld PC gaming has evolved and to see how enjoyable the games run for example 30fps vs 60fps taking the battery life to comparison as well. Great content 👍

@@stupendously_silly I recently beat the game on Switch. Not really sure how bad it was pre-patch but Performance wise, I give it 7.5/10 or even 8/10 There are still a lot of bugs which frustrated me during gameplay. *SPOILERS* For example the Father and Son mission, where Connor has to disguise himself as one of the mercenary. After killing and looting the mercenary, the marker brought me back to the area where I left Haythem, however the marker indicates underground. I spent nearly 10mins before looking it up on google only to find it a bug. Then the Charles Lee Chase scene, at one point, I caught up too quickly to Charles and he just stood there with no interaction. Only later to restart it and find out that I had to let him go ahead of me to trigger a cutscene. The homestead mission where I had to rescue this person from the cliff after killing the mercenaries, triggered no interactions. Only because I killed them too close to the boulder. There are quite a few more but overall, I enjoyed the game. Hence 7.5/10. it's worth the money, if you're looking to go on an AC marathon during quarantine. I know I have. AC4 on the otherhand, freaking amazing. 10/10 no issues whatsover.
