Plus this shit looks bad on here maybe his PS3 fucked up but I my game on Xbox 360 looks lot better on my HD 1080p 32' TV.

The PS3 version looks a bit more "dreamy" and in general pixelated. The PS4 version is a definite improvement here. But I feel like the lighting in the PS3 version is more atmospheric in some places. But that might be different because the scenes were recorded in different ingame times? Besides that, really nice video, very well made!
i might be wrong but i think that the dreamy look is inspired by the sfumato technique that was used in renaissance paintings. its a technique that create like a soft and blurred effect in the image. Da vinci is known for using that technique in his paintings such as The Mona Lisa.

prof.jpg it looks that way for the same reason ezio looks like desmond technology of the "animous" at the time or game, that's why in ac revelation ezio has a different face
Well...I have to say I really, really loved the fact that every city had its specific "fog" and "color". Like how Monteriggioni was "green and grey" and Firenze was "red". I mean, I can see lots of graphic improvements, figures were not as sharp or defined before the remastered version, but I really wish they hadn't taken out that foggy and dreamy atmosphere that made places look so beautiful and unique.
ps 4 graphic's look amazing but the original graphics give you the good old vibe behind the game.I mean ,the new graphics lose all the nostalgia of the game because they seem like a simple ps 4 game .I don't know if you understand but if you do ,you know exactly what i mean :)
I came here to say exactly this. I don't know what it is, but I feel the same way about Fable: Anniversary. Something about the old grime of the games makes them feel like they were handmade, you know?
The noon and the nights are better in ps3 but maybe San Gimignano and Forli's nights looks better on ps4. By the way the afternoon with the sun hiding in the mountains in Florence in ps4 is more accurated than in ps3
Ps4 sucks... The only good thing is the new Lightning sistem and The hd textures but in Monterigione without that Green Mist you can see all the missing textures and things from all of the map
I don't get why they completely threw out AC2's style of colour grading and bloom, it's what set it apart from the others and created very specific moods for each location. The "remaster" just looks flat in comparison to the original. It's all the more baffling since they didn't change Brotherhood or Revelations AT ALL.
I didn't like the bloom effect in AC2. it was good, but by today's standard it's not, And i'm glad that they (Ubisoft) remove that bloom effect in this remastered version. Now just wait them to release this version to PC.
@Good Morning Listen imbecile, this is a video game with an art style/aesthetic that has been stripped away from it in this "remaster". More realistic =/= Better
Ye , at 7:43 the water .. Ps3 water looks like something you'd want to remember , Ps4 water looks like something realistic that you intentionally automatically ignore.
i hate when people do graphic comparison videos they can never seem to do both versions at the same time of day in the game like in this video the ps3 version always seemed to be at night and the ps4 version was during the day if you want compare graphics do it at the same time of day in game

@@VanpyroGaming0 Why? Just because you were bad at it, it's the one thing that kept me coming back to Brotherhood and Revelations due to the fact every match was unique.
I love both for different reasons. It's like they say, "you may look at the past with fresher eyes and things may seem clearer but you can't feel exactly what was felt in that moment ever again." Ezio's trilogy, especially AC2 and Brotherhood, will always have a special place in my heart whether they're remastered or not. The music, the ambience in both, the storyline and music will always be engraved in my memory regardless of the quality. The game/s represented a time in my life where things sorta made sense and I just disappeared into the gameplay for hours on end. And despite loving the remastered version for ps4, I can see why that little bit of magic is lost with the finer details. When AC2 first came out it was a dream for me. I adored every aspect of the game. Still do. I remember being in love with some of the facial features some of the characters had and I can admit they lost that little touch in the remastered version. Even with the Subject Sixteen memories...the beginning of each memory of his always had this dangerous darkness about it, like we were honestly discovering this dark truth about our society and the whole darker ambience of the dark grey shattered glass and fragments made it seem like the whole thing was a blur but in the remastered version... that screen where Subject Sixteen was talking was made a lighter shade of grey and it lost that dark shattered mind affect. I love them both for different reasons.
If you give me the PS3 and PS4 version, I will still prefer the PS3 version, both versions are good, but the PS3 version is more atmospheric for me, and I think that in the PS4 version the characters are a little ugly.
Pure technical conversion. PS4 is sharper but they completely butchered the art style which relayed heavily on specific type of lighting. With volumetric lighting this could have been fixed but now the end result just looks really bad and flat. Stay away.

While the higher resolution and sharper look is appreciative it misses the gloomy renaissance oil painting look of the original, and looks too bright most of the time. The original game admittedly looked way too "smeary" and was covered in a bad Vaseline-like filter, but I feel they could've done a way better job preserving the original look of the game while updating it.
tbh the remastered version looks like a huge improvement from the original one, the original looked phantom like, or if It was blurred for console limitations, they removed the green filter from the original, made it sharper, raised the resolution by a substantial amount
It wasn’t a green filter, it was Green, red, yellow, brown, blue. Every city had it’s representative color. The game was fucked up with all the colorless cities looking the same 😒
The haziness gave it style. It made the world feel mysterious and dreamy. Plus, it had the added effect of hiding the blocky graphics for the most part. The graphics look even more dated with the lack of blur. Also, Allan's right, every city had it's own unique colour and atmosphere. Not so much now.
The remaster definitely has improvements, but I disagree that it's better over all, I've played through both, and I prefer the original due to the look and feel.
besides the resolution bump and texture upgrades,i think the remastered version kinda sucks..it still has most of the bugs and its lighting is bad and its lost the whole environment that the ps3 had..ps3 environment and lighting is alot better in my opinion
@@zacharybonia5853 thankfully i kept my ps3. i have the first 4 ac games and 1 doesn't hold up that great. it's ok but if you never played it but played the ezio games, it's a pretty big step backwards from ezio.
The reason the PS3 version had so much fog is because the PS3 couldn't render all the buildings fast enough so they hide it behind fog. Similar to bo2 transit zombies. Dense fog and those annoying zombies that grab onto you slow you down so the PS3 can render the map. Now that this game is on PS4 they could remove all that shit and brighten the game up.

I will stay with the PS3 version. Look at the smoke bombs on PS4, it seemed as they were made of flour. Also, too much definition ruins that sensation that you are the main character... the dreamy sensation of Ps3 is because it seems as we are only focused on one vision plane, while the Ps4 version shows you the smallest detail of every corner and makes me feel that indeed it is a videogame

PS4 version might have better graphics but tbh the ps3/xbox360 version gives off a better vibe and overall a atmosphere more suited for the game but that's just me.
For me as a gameplayer and as a graphic designer the Original PS3 looks and flows very very beautifully!... This is a flagrant example how the most simple things can be more pretty and magical... But to do it you have to know how you can make it happen! Its 'painted' by the myst, fog and the contrasts... Great video and great Music choice! Congrats and cheers c[*] look for me in mugstunning at AC4 Multiplayer guys :) im still there c[*] as PalmBay78
polygon counts and resolution don't mean all that much to me, i still think chrono trigger is one of the most beautiful looking games i've played, and it still amazes me every time i play it. then i'll try a game like ff15 and it looks dull and boring by comparison, even though it's far more technically superior.
I was having a hard time deciding if I should buy the remastered version (my sister has the original 360 version) for my PS4 and this has definitely sold it for me. Thanks for posting this. Though, I do feel like the PS3 version had a better (for the lack of a better word) atmosphere. It was more engaging like a dream, a time long past and still haunting. Doesn't stop the Remastered version from looking fucking gorgeous though.
I still don’t get why they took out the representative color from every city. Blue Venice and it’s glowing water it’s magically gorgeous. It’s all gone in the remaster, all the cities look exactly the same... 😒
Here’s a neat thing I discovered in this video. If you pay attention to Ezio while you’re scrolling through the video timeline, in some spots he looks like he’s standing still but the world around him is moving. My guesses are where his walk animation is so in synch.
I know the PS3 version was more blurry but I felt like that was distance blur included. Everything being in focus in the PS4 version just looks weird. Plus the PS3 had this mystical coloured lighting that is completely absent in the new version.
I prefer if they kept the PS3 Dreamy Bloom effect with the PS4 Sharpness & Details together... That would've been much better but no.... PS4 Version may be more detailed & has higher resolution but it feels so Flat without the original beautiful atmospheric art style of AC 2....
The Ps3 Version is a lot better the colors the Water the smoke its so Dreamy the Atmosphere the Bright light in Venice Yes the Ps4 Version is Sharper Higher Resolution but without these things it didnt fell right.
Maybe it's my TV doing some fancy processing but to me AC2 on PS3 looks a little clearer than here. For some reason on the video Ezio looks blurry to me, but when I look on my TV he looks clear. Nice comparison though, the textures are much higher detail on the updated version. (Are we sure the PS3 video was captured in 1080p and not upscaled somehow?)
Ps4 had a good thing going for the sharper image.... But! I love how the ps3 had more of a own atmosphere like experience... Too bad they changed the lighting a night bolder... Instead of the nice glow in the ps3 version...
It also depends a lot on the timing, the ps3 version was captured during sunset, everything looks more red and orange, the ps4 was captured in daylight, remember assassins creed 2 already had day and night mechanics
The textures, lighting, resolution and antialiasing are definitely greatly improved and sharper on PS4. But I feel like that was achieved by stripping away the atmospheric feel of AC2. This game definitely had a gloomy/sad tone to it and that definitely added to its charm (probably due to its dramatic storyline). Now all of this is absent from the remastered AC2. Bad move Ubisoft.
i replay this game all the time since it was on ps3 and now on ps4, and honestly i dont even really mind how they took away the unique tint each city had. at first when the ps4 version initially came out and i saw this comparison video, i was not satisfied with how they basically removed the atmosphere the original had, but after replaying it over the last few years i hardly even notice it and think its totally fine. ofc if you watch this video then youll see a clear difference, but if youre playing it yourself without comparing it, youre hardly even going to notice the change. i do like the original look better, like how each city had its own colored haze to it, then looking at the water its a lot more dreamy than the ps4 version, but again, if youre just playing it and not comparing then youre barely even going to notice.
i think the original ezio trilogy (especially AC2) have that style of graphics cuz the producers wanted to express the art of italy in that period u can see the game looks like it's painted with pastel colors in water on canvas by a big artist in that period like Leonardo da Vinci that's why people said "why they go from realistic (ac1) to cartoonish (ac2)" i think that's why

It really doesn't matter if it's quality or not, a game is a game for me everything looks good mist or no mist it all about the mind of the game and how you play it.
Idk this is one of those rare cases i like the bloom effect on the old one, although theres moments id like those hd scenes like during cutscenes or in the morning time
Imagine assassins creed 2 with syndicates graphics and shading
Jose Lemus u'll have to wait when they announce AC II remake lol. But i really wish that'll happen one day

Meh, Syndicate looked like a late generation PS3 game

In venice the shadow rendering is just piss poor with shadows cutting out and appearing out of thin air at close range. Ill take the original any day of the week.
I will stay with the PS3 version. Look at the smoke bombs on PS4, it seemed as they were made of flour. Also, too much definition ruins that sensation that you are the main character... the dreamy sensation of Ps3 is because it seems as we are only focused on one vision plane, while the Ps4 version shows you the smallest detail of every corner and makes me feel that indeed it is a videogame
Mauricio Dávila so less detail makes you feel like it's more realistic?
Non Legit somehow the ps3 version is more realistic... The world is kind of foggy, not a drawing sketch. Idk it's just weird but it's my opinion
They royally fucked up the lighting in the Ezio collection taking away that surreal historic feel the originals had. Brotherhood in particular has a piss filter for lighting. Plus this shit looks bad on here maybe his PS3 fucked up but I my game on Xbox 360 looks lot better on my HD 1080p 32' TV. On my set It looks slightly sharper on PS4 with worse lighting and slightly better shadows and textures.

@@ajsingh4545 Damn man you're pasting same comment everywhere, why do you even want people to validate your opinion.
So its wrong to expose laziness ._.Got it
How can some people honestly say that their is almost no improvement in this remaster? It looks so much better on the PS4 and even better in 4K on the pro.
Sam Sung Thank you!
Sam Sung The ps4 version looks like a ps2 game in high definition. No atmosphere it is so dull and boring. The original is better.
Sam Sung true but sadly the character models look worse did see in that chapter were the guy throws a stone at and the person near him doesn't look the same from previous gen he looked ps2 go look up ign

No, they fucked up for PS4.
I love this remaster but I hate the color palet they used for brotherhood and revelations (especially brtherhood that looks too yellow)
PS4 version might have better graphics but tbh the ps3/xbox360 version gives off a better vibe and overall a atmosphere more suited for the game but that's just me.
10 years old and Assassin’s Creed II is still the best game ever made along side Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood of course! ❤️
For me as a gameplayer and as a graphic designer the Original PS3 looks and flows very very beautifully!... This is a flagrant example how the most simple things can be more pretty and magical... But to do it you have to know how you can make it happen! Its 'painted' by the myst, fog and the contrasts... Great video and great Music choice! Congrats and cheers c[*] look for me in mugstunning at AC4 Multiplayer guys :) im still there c[*] as PalmBay78
polygon counts and resolution don't mean all that much to me, i still think chrono trigger is one of the most beautiful looking games i've played, and it still amazes me every time i play it. then i'll try a game like ff15 and it looks dull and boring by comparison, even though it's far more technically superior.
Hey wanna be friends and play together? I also have ACIV and i play multiplayer my online name is LVP_Assassin
@@LordonWiserman i have been out of AC4 multiplayer. My PS is full and i need to clean it up. Once i reinstall black flag i will add you. c[ * ]
PS4 version is too „Clean“ . If you understand what i mean
3:29 tells me all i need to know, ps4 is superior guys, ps3 is just the nostalgic dreamy effect of venice and forli
Great work
Thanks for the great video.
I was having a hard time deciding if I should buy the remastered version (my sister has the original 360 version) for my PS4 and this has definitely sold it for me. Thanks for posting this. Though, I do feel like the PS3 version had a better (for the lack of a better word) atmosphere. It was more engaging like a dream, a time long past and still haunting. Doesn't stop the Remastered version from looking fucking gorgeous though.
Your are showing the night time view in PS3 & day time view in PS4. Great Comparison.
The textures have improved on PS4 and they look sharp and distinct.
I still don’t get why they took out the representative color from every city. Blue Venice and it’s glowing water it’s magically gorgeous. It’s all gone in the remaster, all the cities look exactly the same... 😒
the water in venezia looks better in ps3/xbox360
Here’s a neat thing I discovered in this video. If you pay attention to Ezio while you’re scrolling through the video timeline, in some spots he looks like he’s standing still but the world around him is moving. My guesses are where his walk animation is so in synch.
I never liked the fog, so it's an I'm improvement to me.
I know the PS3 version was more blurry but I felt like that was distance blur included. Everything being in focus in the PS4 version just looks weird. Plus the PS3 had this mystical coloured lighting that is completely absent in the new version.
I prefer if they kept the PS3 Dreamy Bloom effect with the PS4 Sharpness & Details together... That would've been much better but no.... PS4 Version may be more detailed & has higher resolution but it feels so Flat without the original beautiful atmospheric art style of AC 2....
The ps4 version is clearly better, but the ps3 version gives me unexplainable great vibes.
That’s the nostalgia vibe bro
The marble in the villa doesn't have the reflection effect on PS4 version
There's universal acclaim for the music of the games that include Jesper Kyd composing. I wonder why they don't have him more often.
the beautiful realistic atmospheric colors of the ps3 vs ps4 in one picture. I miss it!
Yeah I love the added shadows and the orange hue instead of the depressing blue hue
The Ps3 Version is a lot better the colors the Water the smoke its so Dreamy the Atmosphere the Bright light in Venice Yes the Ps4 Version is Sharper Higher Resolution but without these things it didnt fell right.
Ps4 has better textures, ps3 a better atmosphere. Ps4 4 looks sometimes too many "clean"
Maybe it's my TV doing some fancy processing but to me AC2 on PS3 looks a little clearer than here. For some reason on the video Ezio looks blurry to me, but when I look on my TV he looks clear. Nice comparison though, the textures are much higher detail on the updated version. (Are we sure the PS3 video was captured in 1080p and not upscaled somehow?)
Fans : we want new quests graphics and ...
Ubisoft : YelLow ShAdeR
I'm thinking about buying he Ezio collection for ps4, i have never played an AC with Ezio, do you recommendit to me?
Ps4 had a good thing going for the sharper image.... But! I love how the ps3 had more of a own atmosphere like experience... Too bad they changed the lighting a night bolder... Instead of the nice glow in the ps3 version...
Damn even the music was so beautiful. It was an amazing game
Love the in game music
i think ps3 version is better. ps4 version's graphic is good, but background's mood is feeling sadly...(?) that's what i like it more.
There are improvements to the remaster that I like, but I definitely like the original feel after playing both of them.
Venezia Looks amazing In the PS4 version
It also depends a lot on the timing, the ps3 version was captured during sunset, everything looks more red and orange, the ps4 was captured in daylight, remember assassins creed 2 already had day and night mechanics
The textures, lighting, resolution and antialiasing are definitely greatly improved and sharper on PS4. But I feel like that was achieved by stripping away the atmospheric feel of AC2. This game definitely had a gloomy/sad tone to it and that definitely added to its charm (probably due to its dramatic storyline). Now all of this is absent from the remastered AC2. Bad move Ubisoft.
i think ac games on ps3 looked so good even though it was 720p.
MAN THIS FRANCHISE IS SO GOOD!!!
love the music
How do you record 1080p on ps4? My ps4 only lets Me record in 720
Esse fundo musical é incrível adoro todos assassinos Creed
So basically they added the sunlight, a good addition to a game mostly taking place in Toscana
PS3 version looks way better. It has that glossy light effect which looks very pleasing. Ps4 looks so watered down
I fw the PS4 graphics but something about it feels like something is missing..🤔
I do remember that monterogni had that weird greenish hazy looking effect to it
And I like it. It always changes my mood when I enter that city. I love the cloudy rainy weather in that city
I think it would be better to compare with the same day time in both games .. it's so obvious that I did not even have to say
Great, thanks!!!
i replay this game all the time since it was on ps3 and now on ps4, and honestly i dont even really mind how they took away the unique tint each city had. at first when the ps4 version initially came out and i saw this comparison video, i was not satisfied with how they basically removed the atmosphere the original had, but after replaying it over the last few years i hardly even notice it and think its totally fine. ofc if you watch this video then youll see a clear difference, but if youre playing it yourself without comparing it, youre hardly even going to notice the change. i do like the original look better, like how each city had its own colored haze to it, then looking at the water its a lot more dreamy than the ps4 version, but again, if youre just playing it and not comparing then youre barely even going to notice.
man... Would it really have been so hard to put these remasters on PC?
Ideal remaster would be 2 options for playing, best graphics for and with 60 fps or best graphics for and with 30 fps (with much improved graphics)
The best assassin's creed game.
i think the original ezio trilogy (especially AC2) have that style of graphics cuz the producers wanted to express the art of italy in that period
u can see the game looks like it's painted with pastel colors in water on canvas by a big artist in that period like Leonardo da Vinci
that's why people said "why they go from realistic (ac1) to cartoonish (ac2)"
i think that's why
PS4 looks a lot better
Pomik no... no it doesn't stop lying to yourself
Pride Is Too Cool To Be A Kid The colors are more alive and I like it.

lmao i actually prefer last gen
Pomik ps4 is too sad
The music in the ezio trilogy is the best
Just here for the music
PS3 in fact looks much better in real, than in this movie.
Assassin's Creed 2
They both look great but in the day, the
Ps3 = looks like the Afternoon
Ps4 = looks like Early Morning
Want to play ezio triology again, but i don't know if i should get the remaster or the old one
Wei Shen you have played it previously right ? (The old one) so now get the remasteredones.
can't stand how some of the environments are drowned out by light on the ps3
How did you make the game look that good on PS3?
It really doesn't matter if it's quality or not, a game is a game for me everything looks good mist or no mist it all about the mind of the game and how you play it.
Ahh memories so much memories
Bgm made this game classy.
What if ubisoft make a new game combining AC 2 and brotherhood with syndicate graphics and shading
That would be a legendary game ❤️
What kind of ps3 did you have? Why the 480p? lol
Idk this is one of those rare cases i like the bloom effect on the old one, although theres moments id like those hd scenes like during cutscenes or in the morning time
The original looks way better, and I'm not being nostalgic, because I played the remaster first.
Edit: 7:40 Just look at that.
Honestly PS3 looks better// feel like ps4 is too clear if that makes sense
ps3 wins hands down. its way to sharp on the ps4 which takes away the purpose of the game thats meant to feel in a dream like state
