Answering provisionally since I've only played a small part of one game (AC2) but that part looks fine. It's a game designed with 720p machines in mind running in 720p on a 720p screen, so it's definitely not a blurry mess. Probably the biggest visual issue is that it doesn't seem like there's anything being done to combat aliasing, which is visible on just about every diagonal line.
I think they both do a good enough job in that respect anyway. You're right that they could have coasted on a strong established character but Brotherhood goes and builds a mostly-new cast around Ezio and they're almost all good characters, and Revelations does well at adding new layers to both Ezio and Altaïr.
I agree, but people playing through the trilogy starting with AC2 are probably going to give it a pass on a lot of those flaws. Several of them only become noticeable after going back to the game after having played later games that fixed them. Revelations also kind of front-loads its flaws by taking 40 minutes to get to Constantinople and then going through lots of tutorial missions, which is going to be tedious for anyone going through the collection in short order. AC2 has lots of tutorial stuff as well but for new players that's going to feel more necessary and at least it instantly starts in Florence.
Revelations has that hook. That hook could cure all the evils in the world if they only let it. That is my roundabout saying that I did exactly that, take a long break after Bro came out before I actually played Revelations back in the day and I ended up loving it (because that god damn hook is so good!).
What a weird comparison video. It shows a lot of the intro but nothing of the main story which is kinda like the most important part to show the differences? lol
At least there it looks pretty good. Lack of AA is noticeable though, but that's expected on Switch games
I agree only using the beginning as a comparison is strange. The PS4 version looks so blurry. Will look for another comparison video.
Edit:
This is the ps5 vs switch version and the ps5 version looks blurry too.
My guess is that the blurriness has to do with an AA implementation
I just started this on Switch and in AC2 there's pretty noticeable input lag, you can really tell moving the camera or in the menu. This Screenrant review mentions it too and says it's in all three games.
Is this an issue with the Switch port or was the Ezio collection like this PS/Xbox too?
