In this video, Alex Battaglia breaks down the visual make-up of Assassin's Creed Valhalla on a per settings basis then stacks up a range of PC GPUs against the PS5's fidelity and performance level. Oh, and if you're looking for optimised performance settings for the PC game, look no further."
Assassin’s Creed has always been a staple for good cutscenes that engage the audience. However, it's grown lacking of the latter now.
The story was at its most interesting early in the series, but has eventually ended up spinning its wheels going nowhere. The games don't feel linked together anymore. This is to make it easier to constantly churn out endless sequels.
The smaller more intimate maps and historic references are lost. The setting used to be a character in AC. Now it’s just a massive empty shell of its former self.
There's never been a better time to get into Assassin's Creed thanks to these deals.
@Cobra
The older ones are kind of a chore. I did enjoy Syndicate and Unity, though.
@Hoologan
I had a good time with Origins for the most part.
Waste of money, after the Desmond story arch, but even worse is that its a waste of time. The franchise is just spinning its wheels going nowhere. The further you progress through the series, the more 'corporate' it begins to feel, until its nothing but an empty husk, begging for you to spend money on its micro-trash-action store. There are loading screens in Origins informing you that if you spend money on "fun costumes" you'll feel better! Despicable.
Save your time for something better. Modern day Ubisoft is garbage.
To each their own I guess? I really enjoyed them up until odyssey and valhalla was decent. I still really enjoy exploring the massive detailed worlds and the characters, stories, gear, and combat.
I have never once been swayed by a loading screen trying to get me to buy DLC as these games have 10x more content than you would ever see anyway. I do agree the series seems to be going the wrong direction at the moment, but would still highly recommend origins, odyssey, and to a lesser extent, valhalla if you enjoy adventure and exploration games.
not every AC game is worth playing tho ha.
i feel like it stopped being good after 3. and 3 was even a stretch.
1 and 2 tho? amazing.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
100% agree
All these ubisoft titles, Farcry, AC, Ghost recon, boast huge maps, but with the same, 3 missions or the same base to clear 100s of times. Hour 1 of any of those titles is the same as hour 100, there big for the sake of being big, with the illusion of player freedom, where we really want depth and player expression.
Give me a solid 15-20 hour engaging single player driven IP any day. Life's too short you dig.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter
It's been a problem with pretty much every modern AAA game all through last gen and this gen. God forbid you point it out tho because all these big games are masterpieces and people lose their minds if you criticize them. Death Stranding is a fetch quest fest, but people will die defending it cause it's a "masterpiece".
Summary
Dynamic rez for PC is set with anti-aliasing
PC lowest dynamic rez 1836p
PS5 lowest is 1440p
XSX lowest is 1188p
PS5 Quality Settings Equivalence to PC:
Shadows Ultra High
World details Very High
Cloud settings between High and Ultra High
Environmental textures High
Water High
Clutter setting is above PCs High setting
PS5 cloth moves at 30fps and 60fps on PC, medium setting
PS5 alpha effects at lower resolution than PC
PS5 lower resolution allows for higher settings
RTX 2060 Super spends most of its time sub-60 fps with same quality settings as PS5. As much as 20% slower.
PS5 performance is similar to RTX 2080 in the selected test area
RX 5700 outperforms RTX 2060 Super in this game
To think a console that cost 399 can achieve this! Cerny and is team are really amazing!
3060Ti needed to match/exceed PS5. Looks like a 3080 is needed to get numbers in the high 70's @ 1440p according to other benchmarks
Wow a console that costs £359 performs better? Of course if you buy an i9 and a 3090 you will brute force your way through but is it worth it any more if you want to play a game.
And to think going forward all the new IP and existing franchises like God of war etc I can confidently say God of war Ragnarok will have best visuals on any platform
performing like a 2080 right out the gate, and that terrain quality
