Aveline's world looks better on Vita than on home consoles

Small comparison of graphics in the ACIII games

[Muffins1223]

Well,this comparison is weak due to the fact that one of them is a farm type of area and the other is in a city,assassins creed 3 on consoles has better graphics...

[DivineAssault]

i agree but the vita version isnt lacking graphically.. The choice of landscapes in the 360 version was obviously chosen to make vita stand out.. However, the simple fact that vita does look richer in some areas over a home console is a great accomplishment.. Im surprised at how well it looks on vita.. This is a handheld & not a console but it feels like a console & looks like a console build.. Thats amazing considering that other mobil devices wont receive software giving this type of experience..

3ds simply cant do a game anywhere near like this & tablets dont have buttons to give it the feel nor development resources to build a detailed game like this..
Cant wait to get it tomorrow.. Ill play AC3 on PS3 after i complete liberation..

Sooo, the 3DS comes into play where? Man, stick to the topic!

OT:Obviously everyone knows the console version looks best and that these pictures were clearly chosen to make the Vita version shine. It's just funny how they use the least populated area on 360 and the highest density are on Vita for the comparison. People are smart enough to figure it out...

YoungPlex The point his trying to make, back in the day when the vita launched it was always 3DS VS PSVITA grafically. Nowadays it's PS3/360 VS PSVTIA. And for a handheld it's F@#king impressive.

I agree that in these screens AC3:L looks better, but I saw a PS3 gameplay video yesterday and it definitely looked better than VITA's AC. This comparison is a bit tricky to be honest.

Though Liberation is still an amazing achievement, especially knowing that this is an early game in VITA's life cycle.

[GribbleGrunger]

Yeah, this article is disingenuous to say the least. They've clearly selected certain screenshots with the sole purpose of proving their point. AC3L does look fantastic, there is no doubt, but the 360 version has definitely got the edge. I've seen plenty of footage of the PS3 version and, other than the extra content, the 360 looks exactly the same.

[paranoid1971]

How can the 360 version have "the edge" when you then say it looks exactly the same? Surely that would give the ps3 version "the edge" as it has extra content

[GribbleGrunger]

The article compares 360 screenshots with Vita screenshots, hence: 'the 360 has the edge'. Then you'll notice I place a full stop after the word 'edge' and make another comment. It's closely related to the same point so there was no need for another paragraph. And you'll notice, because I make that comment about extra content a sub-clause, that the main focus is still on 'graphics', which is what I am responding to. Hope that clears it up.

I find it weird they made this article... AC3 shipped early for me (futureshop messed up), and Im going to pick up ACL tongiht, but those areas in the screen shots are very rural areas, where as the screens in ACL are more urban

Here is a shot of an actual city in AC3

I capped this one, also this is relatively early in the game

Essentially these guys tried to get hits by saying the vita is more powerful than current consoles... so they used a bias

[r21]

Is it me or is the draw distance on the vita...better? Maybe im thinking wrong.

[violents]

Im a PS fan and i dont think that's a fair comparison, the farm pics on 360 dont look as busy as the vita city pics. So its hard to say which is better. I would imagine that they all look good but come on, at least compare screens that are similar.

[jjb1981]

They did a great job with the vita version.

[cmpunk53]

Might not be as good as the console version but they definitely did an awesome job for th ps vita! I cant wait for when ready at dawn, square enix, or hopefully bethesda finall develops a game for the vita.

[newn4gguy]

Those are terrible screens. They need screenshots from the PS3 version with the naval war part. That looks gorgeous!

[Ron_Danger]

Regardless of whether or not the vita version looks better, it's still an amazing feat that Ubisoft pulled off on a handheld

With this, NFS, and the just released version of SFxT, the Vita is proving its power. I picked up SFxT yesterday and it's shocking how close to the ps3 version it is

[blackbirdi]

it's not too close they are some alpha maps dumpd down and the shaders are completly different the ps3 use some specularty which is completely missing.... some background textures where low res not like the console version... jin kazama model has less polygones then the ps3 version even some post processing effects where deleted from ps vita version but it stilll fun to play

[violents]

@forrealz

Even tho you got tagged for trolling, your right, that was a known fact before vita even came out.

[profgerbik]

I can see the Xbox fans raging now. No this is not possible!

Not a great comparison sure but with the bonus of having both versions for Vita and PS3 it is just a better package than the Xbox's ever could be..

Same with the Wii U.

I will say even though the areas are clearly different the Xbox's color is extremely bland and the fact the Vita practically looks close enough and is more vibrant is enough of an achievement for me.

Of course though I doubt he was playing on an LED TV so that doesn't help either, bottom line it looks mighty close to a console type experience.

[Zydake]

... Im sorry but how in the hell did they get 360 footage?

[tubers]

Looks pretty unfair.

Are those outskirts on the 360 SS? and in town on the VITA ss?
