Assassin's Creed 2 WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! — Xbox One Remaster Vs. Original Xbox 360 - General

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmnJvv-peF4[/media] On top of details being lost such as fog effects, it looks like the climbing became really glitchy. Yikes. At least it looks a bit more colorful.

AC2 was never really a good looking game so of course increasing the res is gonna make it easier to pinpoint how nasty everything looks

This isnt even a half ass job this is a quarter ass job [QUOTE=cdr248;51387857]AC2 was never really a good looking game so of course increasing the res is gonna make it easier to pinpoint how nasty everything looks[/QUOTE] Thats not even the point in the video. They ruined things that worked like the animations for climbing and whatever the fuck they did to that poor guy.

His face looks so fucking dumb in the beginning, especially on the remaster wtf

I miss when Assassins Creed was good. But holy shit that remaster looks bad.

The colours and lighting are clearly improved but oh god those animations, how? And I know the point was to give finer textures to the game, but what the fuck is that fucking thing

[QUOTE=A_Pigeon;51387995]fakefactory?[/QUOTE] It's not stolen, unnecessarily hi-res, or slutty, so no.

ACII was pretty damn awesome.

[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;51388027]ACII was pretty damn awesome.[/QUOTE] we'll never have an assassin's creed game this good again

What's with remasters being so incredibly shitty this year? Wouldn't it take more effort to make a game worse than to just port it over with a higher resolution some texture filtering? How the fuck do you break the animations and the models like that?

Can't think of anything else...

"Remastered"

I'm glad somebody gifted me ACII before the series started to feel meh. Even the Remaster is killing it.

Holy shit, how did they fuck up the climbing that bad? The way it's acting my first idea was that the original was locked to 30fps and they just turned it up to 60 without considering animations being locked to the framerate, but nope! [URL="http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Assassin's_Creed_II#Video_settings"]The original release of AC2 on PC ran 60fps by default.[/URL]

Dear god those climbing animations look awful. And those models on some of the characters. Damn shame too, AC2 is one of my most favorite games.

wow what a shame. Impeccable timing for this too, seeing as I was actually doing another playthrough of AC2 since I ended up forgetting how awesome it was. I guess their idea of remaster was increasing the texture quality and fucking the models up? In the original a lot of the characters suffered from cartoony facial features or just generally weird looking faces. Not to mention the facial flexes looked a bit exaggerated in a lot of the cutscenes. Lucy has major fishface through II and Brotherhood [img]http://puu.sh/slSkX/abc0ef631f.jpg[/img] and then in the remaster they fucked up her nose? [img]http://puu.sh/slStK/ca2ac8b15d.jpg[/img] nice

it's like Silent Hill all over again

[QUOTE=sipderbat;51388580]it's like Silent Hill all over again[/QUOTE] Wouldn't surprise me if it's based on beta code like the Silent Hill HD Collection was.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;51387905][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/EoT8vpz.png[/IMG] [editline]17th November 2016[/editline] REMASTERED[/QUOTE] This guy looks like he just came out of Elder Scrolls Morrowind.

I'm so tired of "remasters" being downgrades. Lately there have been far more downgrades than upgrades.

Good lord, how do you go about and changing up the textures and appearance of NPCs and straight up compare them and say "yup that looks better". Reminds me of that botched job of someone trying to restore the Jesus painting.

It's alright. They can still release a remaster of the remaster in a few years.

My guess is that they ported it to their current engine, maybe the faces are weird because it's less static and have more expression like the new assassin creeds, but the art they made with it is just awful. Maybe the climbing is broken because the old assets are not working well with the improvement they made over the years. As stated above, a simple upsampling and better texturing would have been enough, maybe they tried more than they could chew, who knows.
