Assassin's CreedCóż cała litania:
Wersja z PS3 jest rozśmieszającym cieniem tej z X360
Nawet przy najprostszej akcji na ekranie płynność animacji leci na łep i szyję.
Troszkę łagodniejsze krawędzie przez niepotrzebny i za mocny blur który rozmywa wszelkie szczegóły robiąc z obrazu na PS3 papkę - tym gorszą jeżeli włączysz programowe (i znowu kiepskie) skalowanie do 1080.

W czasie potyczek gra na PS3 jest powolna w reagowaniu na polecenia gracza.
Konwersja na PS3 jest rozczarowywująco słaba.
the PS3 rendition is a mocking shadow of the Xbox 360 version.
A patch is apparently forthcoming to fix 'freezing problems' but of far more consequence would be a complete optimisation of the game engine. While the 360 game drops the odd frame here and there, by and large it's refreshing at a steady 30fps. Not so with PS3 where even the most basic action on-screen sends the refresh rate tumbling dramatically. While the detail levels and texture quality appear to be identical cross-format (though PS3 has harsher contrast), the Sony machine employs a different anti-aliasing method than 360. The result is softer edges (good) but an unnecessary blur that masks a lot of the intricate detail you'll find on Xbox 360. The blurring effect is amplified still further should you play in 1080p, which I strongly recommend you avoid if your display accepts standard 720p - as all 'HD Ready' sets do.
Scaling and blurring aside, it's the frame-rate that is the key concern here, not just in terms of visual smoothness - essential in maintaining the in-game illusion of reality - but also in the perceived response from the controls. Sometimes, especially during combat, the game just feels sloth-like and cumbersome. Combo kills and counter-strikes depend on a split-second timing, and the muted response on the PS3 version makes this much more difficult.
In short then, one word sums it up for me: gutted. Despite its undeniable array of shortcomings, Assassin's Creed is definitely in my top ten titles of the year, a testament to the sheer ambition of developers today and a tantalising glimpse at the technical possibilities of the games of tomorrow. The fact that this ambition doesn't extend to offering the same quality experience to PlayStation 3 owners is bitterly disappointing.
