Revelations on the other hand is gorgeous. Ubisoft had a lot of work to do in a short amount of time with the two in the front of the collection, but seemed content on just upgrading some visual features instead of a bunch. It’s comparable to some nice animation for 70% of the experience versus some hard-to-watch animation for the next 30% of it.

That’s not to say that some things like shadows, light, some details, and draw distance haven’t been improved with the remastering, as they have, but things like cut scenes are painful to the eyes. While Ubisoft certainly seems to have done their best with what they had, and wanting to maintain the integrity of the original experience, when compared to Revelations the other games, AC2 and Brotherhood, seem light years away from each other. Assassin’s Creed 2 and Brotherhood look visually dated at times. On the remastering portion of these titles it’s really a hit and/or miss with this collection. Included with the collection is Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed Revelation, all of which are strong titles, though some older than others in terms of gameplay and visuals.

They have opted to take some of the more popular releases in the series starring Ezio and re-release them into one single collection that focuses solely on the single-player experience. Ubisoft has taken a year off from creating a new Assassin’s Creed for the holiday season, which might be a fine idea considering the more thought put into the next release, then potentially the better, to release a collection that is revered by many AC fans as some of the best stories in the series. The best in the Assasin’s Creed series makes it to the PlayStation 4 in one single collection.
