    AC3, Will PC Version look better than Console?

    I think I know the answer already, but should I wait and get the game for PC instead of Console? My computer is pretty strong, so I'm confident I'll be able to play on Max. But will there be a noticeable difference (better hopefully) between the two? I've seen people play Skyrim on consoles, and I pity those people >.> So if AC3 will run stronger on PC, I'd prefer to wait. Any one know?

    Never had any issues with Revelations on my high end PC.

    1980*1200, 2x MSAA, everything maxed and it ran as smooth as silk.
    i7 940 @ 2.93 GHz, 12 GB DDR3 RAM, 2x 1 TB HDD and a MSI Twin Frozr II GTX580 1.5 GB

    Back on topic though: it should look a great deal better. I have all AC games on consoles aswell as the PC versions on Steam and all of them looked a lot better on PC.

    Slightly better draw distance, sharper textures on characters and the environment and better shadows, the ones on consoles always were pretty ugly...

    Future Soldier on the xbox360 looked just as good as the pc version, in fact i think in some scenes the 360 version looked better than pc. It's difficult to say until you actually get to see for yourself.

    We will find out tomorrow!














    Oh...







    Just playin, I have no doubt the PC version will be far better graphically and performance wise than all the consoles. It always is. I seriously wish I had a high end PC so I could max AC3, but my cruddy laptop can't even handle AC1 on minimum graphics lol. I imagine the wait will be worth it.

    Of course it will!!! Every game looks better on PC than console, goes without saying.

    And I have never had a problem with optimisation with any AC game and all have been played on max settings.

    It will have a better quality, but I don't think this waiting worths it.

    Paper and crayon drawings look better than console graphics, so I would imagine this will look pretty darned good on PC.

    Actually not true if its a port the graphic is never better it might look so but its not if you put the game up on a TV you would see it is not so. But if the game where not a PORT but build for the PC you would be right.

    Actually its not difficult any game ported will be no better than the console its ported from in reality its not possible.

    Yes even if it use DX 11. But a game build for PC and Console sepretly which some companiese do the PC version will always be better in all areas.

    Well there should be a difference due to how PC's work but if its a port in reality its not but due to PC systems it will look like it.
