Oh Look, Assassin's Creed III Remastered Has Finally Been Confirmed For Switch

It's cool that liberation is included, I was surprised by that!

The worst one

Not for me, but there were plenty of goodies in the direct for me anyway.

Hope it's not as much of a slideshow as it was in the Direct.

This looked pretty awful if I'm honest, certainly much worse then the attached screenshots would have you believe

@IHateTombs I also caught that huge frame drop at the very beginning

Frankly doesn’t look as good as it did on the Wii U, which was a low point for me in that consoles life. Yawn.

@ReaderRagfihs Or one where you grow marijuana, called Assassin's Weed. Or one where you're an electrician, called Assassin's Lead. Or one where you run a tavern for Vikings, called Assassin's Mead. Or one where you make necklaces, called... All right, I'm sorry.

Indeed the direct made this look terrible.. make it £20-25 and it will sell enough copies.. £40? No thanks.

I will get this i just hope the performance gets better i mean it was on wii U.

Still no Spyro, though. Not that I'm desperate, but just seems weird that we've seen listings and it's been heavily rumoured.

I do hope AC plays well on Switch. It's possible to get games running well, but it doesn't always happen.

Hopefully not as juddery as it looked!

The worst creed game, looked bad frame rate wise too

I think all you people saying it looked low FPS and stuttery were just having stream issues, it looked perfectly okay by me.

I haven’t played these so would be pretty keen to have a go. Still feel like I might be waiting for a review or two before I make my mind up...

Assassin's Creed 3...frames per second.

One of my favorite games in the series...and since the series is dead to me now...YAY. I hope we get the rest of the 360 versions at least.

Erm Ubisoft? I'm glad it's coming to the Switch but that looked like it needed polishing.

Delighted with this and I’m sure it’ll look and run fine by release. Hopefully

The irony of the leak is that the box art is different lol

@Mgene15 Worse than Unity? The one that was incredibly glitchy and freaked everyone out with the freaky people with floating eyeballs and teeth?

Great, the damn thing's been confirmed and we won't have to suffer this any longer:

"Assassin's Creed 3 is coming to Switch."
"No, wait, maybe it isn't..."
"Actually, it looks like it is coming after all."
Etc.

@Heavyarms55 Even looking at the official trailer it still looks poor in some areas. Gonna hope it's YouTube compression making things miserable again.

Welp, that's a double-dip, I guess. After months of PS Store giving me jump scares where sale pages repeatedly showed no sign of purchase (and Liberation was the fourth Vita game in my library back in January 2016, thank you very much) and drove me to recheck my download list, the joke is set to be on it. Probably not at once (I'm still in early AC1 and then there's the matter of Ezio Collection even if I were to skip AC1's portable spinoffs), but it's a very welcome addition to my wishlist regardless. Only moreso when it's two Ubisoft open-worlders on Switch for 40 bucks.

Still never played one of these games. If the Switch version performs OK, I'll likely nab it on sale at some point.

It is AC on the go, so I will be getting this. I wish they did Rogue next. I like Liberation on Vita, but hated the costume changes and how you were stuck in a costume. Hopefully the remaster fixed that.

I'm not sure if I'll pick this up, at least for myself. But I'm hoping if this does well, they bring over the Ezio collection. I have a family member who I just got into gaming, bought her own Switch, and I think she'd like the core gameplay of Assassin's Creed. But I'd hate to pay for this one out of all of the other AC entries. Especially since I started her on BOTW and Skyrim. This one just doesn't feel like a good start. Lol

@Heavyarms55 it's not a matter of live streaming. anyone with eyes can re-watch it again and see for themselves that this looks jittery.

I hope that was unfinished footage, it looked worse then the ps3 version.

Good god. They really did not put much time into this "remastered"

After Origin and Odyssey - no way going back to this. Some games better left in the past - especially when you have better ACs today🙄

Ah... I see that the whiners have already entered the fray... pffff...

"Months of rumours"
How many exactly?

Oof those frames, the PS4 version me for i guess.

@IHateTombs I was thinking the same thing ....the game seemed to be chugging a lot in the video. I'll be interested to see some gameplay footage down the road.

That trailer really didn't make the game look good. Does Ubisoft really expect us to pay for that? Holy balls the graphics and frame rate is atrocious.

Looks to be low resolution and serious framepacing issues and FPS drops. This may even run worse than the Wii U version. I certainly hope that's not the case.

Still, it's not the worst offender. That honour goes to Dead by Daylight for its sub 720p resolution with framerate issues galore.

Never played AC3&Liberation day one purchase for me

I hope it plays as good as it looks.

Way to go AC3 here it comes.

Not the AC game I wanted but finally an AC game. Hope it does well so we can get Ezio collection and AC1. It be great to see AC Rogue and Blackflag!

The framerate needs to be a consistent 30. Otherwise, don’t waste our time please. Thanks Ubisoft in advance.

Unlike mpst people here, I'm really happy about this. I only played a little bit of 3 but never played Liberation (even though I bought it several times over). I'm just glad to finally have the series on Switch.

BUT...they BETTER not make Liberation download-only. This was only just announced so I haven't had time to look into it yet.

@IHateTombs Yeah it looked extremely choppy

Haha! I’m glad it’s been confirmed. Hard pass though.

So is this exclusive to Switch, or is it also coming to PS4 & XB1?

Love people complain about framerate before games are even released. We have no clue what state anything was in when it was filmed.

And the framerate didn't even look bad to me but I guess I'm not "sensitive" to it like some people.

I kind of wish there were more video games site during the American Revolution.

@Koudai1979 it is going to the twins as well. Comes with the season pass for odyssey (which is why I bought it so I’m a little annoyed but whatever. I’ll double dip).

Ill buy this if it runs at an okay fps, looks really choppy in the trailer. Hopefully they clean it up in time for release.

Since I haven't played anything in the series since the first game, this might actually be worth a shot.
Although the graphics look like I'd be better off buying it on PC. But then again, I'd probably never play it. ^^

day one for me

@Ryu_Niiyama Cool. I used to have this for my Wii U, but I didn't like it as much as IV, but if I had a Switch I'd still pick it up for the DLC & because my niece & nephews loved it.

I've never seen a trailer look so bad. Ugly textures and shocking frame rate

It looks awful. I own it on the Wii U and I don't recall it looking that bad. Actual I know for a fact that the Wii U version looks better than what was shown. I remember being impressed when playing it. The Switch version looked bad in every scene.

Well I can admit when i'm wrong, honestly thought this wasn't coming especially seeing as the remastered Rogue didn't show up early.

@TAndvig Please mind your language!

@Octane No?

I would have loved it to be Black Flag.

@TAndvig Yes. Profanity isn't allowed; please read the Community Rules.

Nr III was the worst one for me so a bit sad that's the first to come to Switch streamless. But I never played Liberation, so.... maybe?

@TAndvig Wow. Did the moderator actually reprimand you...for saying "balls" or did I miss something?

@Dang69 Seems like it. I understand wanting to moderate 'excessive' use of curse words but I can't accept being "hushed" for something so little.

@TAndvig I think the moderator was just busting your balls cuz you were ballsy enough to speak a word of criticism on something Nintendo related on this Amazon affiliate link hype site. But yeah the game looked really crappy, Ubisoft is always better than that, was shocked.
