Ubisoft Montreal’s Phillipe Bergeron has moved to quell fears that the PlayStation 3 version of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood won’t be up to par with its Xbox 360 counterpart, assuring owners of Sony’s black box that the studio has taken steps to ensure both versions are the same.
While met with highly favourable reviews, the PS3 version of Assassin’s Creed II attracted considerable flack from critics and gamers alike claiming the game lacked the polish of its 360 counterpart.
However, speaking to the chaps at IGN, Bergeron has assured PS3 owners that the team have worked to address these issues with Brotherhood, revealing the game’s frame runs identical – if not better – on Sony’s console compared to the 360.
“At the end of ACII we realised that the PS3 was sort of an afterthought – or, not that it was an afterthought, but we hadn’t fully debugged it until the very end, and we had a bunch of frame-rate issues and quality issues,” he said.
“This time around we knew that, because we went through it once, so we decided to attack it from the beginning and I think the final product is much more on the level, and even on some parts, the frame-rate is probably sometimes better on the PS3 than it is on 360.”
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is pencilled in for release on November 16 in the U.S., with a European version arriving on November 19.
