Lens of Truth Head2Head: Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Analysis

Lens of Truth writes - "Welcome back for another exciting Head2Head! This time we will be looking at this year’s new Assassin’s Creed title. Over the series’ lifespan, there has always seemed to be a little bit more going for the 360 version in the past. Overtime however, the PS3 versions of this series have gotten a little better with each release. Could this new entry be the game that matches or even surpass the 360 version, or will this old habit of shoddy porting die hard? Lets put this “Revelation” under the lens and discover what lies beyond in both versions."

Holy screen tearring Ezio! Looks like a flat out tie to these eyes!

[FACTUAL evidence]

A birthday win for the ps3. Also it's my moms b-day today happy b daaaay! loll.

[MAJ0R]

the cutscenes look a little less washed out in the PS3 version, other than that they look pretty much identical

[stonecold3]

ps3 wins this one ?

[DonaldBeck]

yes stonecold3, the Playstation 3 version is better than the xbox3360 version that they were comparing it too.

[meetajhu]

Ps3 wins!

[potedude]

Looks pretty close, I think the PS3 just wins it. The textures are a little sharper on the PS3 and some of the screen shots are a little blurry on the 360.

PS3 is a little darker too, I prefer that look.

[Motorola]

I agree. But someone explain why they only used the first 20 minutes of the game for the H2H. What about the city? Go to a high point overlooking the city and screen cap it on each console. Not that hard LoT....

[DonaldBeck]

ps3 wins it, big time.

but i dont think lens of truth uses full RGP on the ps3 versions of games all of the time, because some games they compare make the ps3 version looked washed out, it looks like they finally used RGP in this comparison finally.

[Soul Train]

Its actually RGB, and they have had it set to "Full" on the PS3 forever. Check their FAQ page.

[Tapioca Cold]

You are not supposed to use "RGB Full" on a television, nor are you supposed to have the HDMI expanded (360) on televisions. It just causes black crush and goes to show me that YOU and most others out there (gaming websites) have no idea what they are talking about. Black crush just takes away details.

[byrnezy]

Pretty close, maybe ps3 by a bees ____

[Trainz]

Niko?

[rowdyBOY]

why does ps3 version look like your always in a cave. no lighting at all .even outside on a sunny day .

they both look pretty crap , graphics havent got better since assassins creed 1
even though 360 still wins , Aagain and again and again

altayer will always be > than ezio

[Skate-AK]

Haha dude you didn't even spell Altair right. Also if you didn't know you play as Altair and Ezio.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Well to be more precise it is pronounced Atta'er in arabic. The letter 'l' and letter 't' can't be next to each others in arabic.
It is pronounced like this: http://www.ivona.com/us/?tk...

Ubisoft didn't maange to get it right damn it!

[CoLD FiRE]

@PLASTICA-MAN That's not true. "l" and "t" can be next to each other in Arabic. If a "t" comes after an "l" and the "l" was preceded by a vowel sound then it becomes silent. So the right spellings would actually be either "Altaïr" or "Altayer".

[PLASTICA-MAN]

At CoLD FIRE: No you are wrong. Make some arabic lessons. Try to say alchmas then lol!

[CoLD FiRE]

@PLASTICA-MAN Seriously, is your native language Arabic?

Anyway, what I said was perfectly correct. I'm not sure what you're trying to say by "alchmas" but in this case the "l" is NOT silent.

[ziggurcat]

if they somehow added trophy support for the PS3 version of the origina AC then it's a no brainer for me.

however, i may go with the X360 version because i have so many friend who will be playing it on that platform (and they love the MP side of the game).

[lMHl]

This game is gonna be balls deep

[SDF Repellent]

X360 Won 2 out of 3 categories in performance and loading. So X360 won. Turn the gamma down a bit on TV for the X360 and it is the same as the PS3.

[gypsygib]

360 has too much bloom but at least it's not crushing blacks like usual. Regardless, both are close enough for single console owners to not feel at all bad.

[assmonkey]

Well said gypsygib! I usually don't even bother with these comparisons because most of the time they are almost identical. Like you said both console owners will be pleased.

[Kran]

Why does Desmond and Ezio's faces look so much uglier than Brotherhood? ¬¬

[Jake_Butler]

WOW why does this game run like crap? Did the other's run this bad? If I had to choose i guess i would get the PS3 version. Tooooo many games to buy this year
