Assassin's Creed 3 Remaster vs Original (2012 vs 2019) Comparison

I compare the remaster of Assassin's Creed III with the original game from 2012. I use side-by-side comparisons, stills and the same sequences. Both are set to max quality settings on the same PC (my rig is: GTX 1070 8GB, Intel Xeon E3 1231 3.40GHz, 16GB DDR3, Samsung SSD 850 EVO). You can see that the remaster has serious problems with lighting that doesn't fit the old models. I did not change the brightness or the gamma values.

I think it really is case of style. They tried to go for a much more crisp and vibrant look than the original which (while limited in technology) went for a more realistic dull look in most places (that sea part with the ship sailing was fucking awful on the remasters part). It really does feel like they decided to be more cartoony with this, im sure the fact that they didn't update the models doesn't help much either

Ubisoft "Remaster"- lower textures + max out brightness

[@Lifeislikeadoughnut]

Well more like keep everything the same and change the lighting system but not updating any models and textures to accompany it. So it’s basically they designed the models in a way that the lighting hides the imperfections to cut down on effort but with the remaster it seems they forgot that the old lighting was hiding their laziness.

[@whensue9386]

MONSIEUR MILLUER!!! And lower the frame rate somehow..

[@adibster0]

AK740 exactly

[@lucacontini7405]

well ... it could have been the best remastered ever if they not changed the lighting system and left the textures as they were. Because they also made improvements that no one has ever done with remastered, which is improved polygons like Connor's head which is now no longer angular like the original and the face is much more like the cutscenes now. They have improved the mechanics of the gameplay that were not there before, but which now have also brought here, namely being able to whistle even in the bushes, double stealth kills with the blade hidden in low profile, being able to change weapons when you want and not go every time in the shops, improved some secondary objectives, in short they tried to make it look more modern, the only thing they didn't have to do I repeat, is the change of lighting that does not reflect well with the models of the characters, and the textures of all the characters, NPCs that used to really give the effect of fabric, now look like they are made of plastic except Connor's.

Looks like Watch Dog’s graphics downgrade virus is still around lol

[@marwankthd1629]

R.U.S.E had beautiful graphics back when it was in VIP beta (probs Closed beta) in 2009, Ubisoft fucked it up and downgraded it, probs one of its first victims. edit: in VIP Beta you were able to zoom in to the ground to the point where can you see a whole tank in extreme detail, fires looked WAY BETTER in CB than in the RELEASE VERSION. Just watch some VIP Beta videos of R.U.S.E then compare it with the release version.

[@toniopotonio3925]

There’s a theory that Ubisoft have been getting paid a lot of money because of the downgrades

[@adrianstypinski3975]

It's probably because they assumed that watch dogs will never be playable enough for 90% of computers in our houses. They downgraded cuz hardware requirements was too big for most computers.

[@GtaRockt]

They downgraded it because M$ and Sony told them to so people wouldn’t realise how weak PS4 and XBO graphic power is compared to a gaming pc. You could actually change some settings in a confit file and it already looked much better. Not as good as the presentation and trailers but it was a strong improvement (game was still boring as heck though)

[@alexbastos6960]

It helps if you adjust game brightness to 4 in the Options menu instead of the default 5. It doesn't fix it completely, of course, but trust me, IT DOES HELP! It makes most cutscenes look less weird and makes the game look a little bit like a "remaster". All things considered, I'm actually enjoying replaying it. 👍
