The draw distance does seem to suck a bit.

I'm disappointed if that's the sort of scene i see in Assassin's creed III. We didn't get this crap in other Assassin Creed games. I thought graphics and rendering were supposed to get better not worse!

there is an aweful lot of games i could make look equal bad if i just picked the right 1 frame out of a full experience.  I'd like to see this in motion to really judge.  ..but i do admit, that's a pretty horrid looking screen.  :P

I'm torn between the PC version and the PS3 version, largely wondering whether the exclusive missions are worth it.

Of course it's going to have great reviews, all signs point to it being fantastic.

Hmm seems to be quite buggy. Probably did a rushed job to get it ready for a holiday release.

After that it could very well end below 90. AC2 is exactly 90 (the version with the most reviews) and that game was nearly flawless in my opinion.

Dissapointed the one review talks about bugs....

Im really hoping it was just a bad copy or something that will be fixed with a patch, because the game looks phenominal

I'm expecting mid 80s since it doesn't look like its trying anything new apart from the wilderness and more enemies on screen.

That screenshot looks beyond terrible. PS2 terrible.

i agree, the scale also looks off... is the assassin as tall as a house?

2 reviews isn't saying much. Let's wait for more reviews before saying too much about this game. I still am hoping it turns out to be great but two reviews is nothing to get excited about nor to get upset about

i dont really believe that picture.

I took it straight from the magazine and it's kind of reputable (no.1 Spanish language gaming online mag).


could it be taken when the animus is loading up the world (though that would usually have the blue sparking lines). it just seems too bad.

The caption says "the game abuses the mist effect to render these Boston views properly". You can see in the pic that the horizon is indeed full of this "mist", it's not just an effect.

Best case scenario, they looked for the absolute worst example they could find, but it seems legit.

 

This (and the bugs) may be alleviated with a patch though. Let's hope.

I really don't see much mist at all.

I'm assuming that enormous blue-grey mass at the top of the image is the sea.
