Assassin’s Creed 2 Xbox 360 vs PS3 – via Lens of Truth Flame On
   November 23rd, 2009 clock image 9:00 am

On Friday I posted up a Assassin’s Creed 2 comparison article based on the findings of Digital Foundry and was subsequently told that we can’t believe Digital Foundry as they are Xbox 360 fanboys and if we wanted a valid comparison then we must use Lens of Truth.

Normally these sorts of comments just ignored but since the chorus of people against Digital Foundry has been growing I thought I would just follow up and see what the difference between the two sites were and whether they had come to the same conclusion.

In short, yes they had. Both agreed that the two games are very similar but the Xbox 360 wins it due to the PS3 version having far more screen tearing than the 360 version. The PS3 version also generally had a lower FPS rate but it wasn’t bad enough to be an issue.

The load times are marginally (4 seconds) quicker on the 360 version and the PS3 version is also missing one or two assets but again they are not important enough to alter your experience.

So all in all both sites came to the same conclusion and hopefully this will help stop the fanboy accusations that get levelled against Digital Foundry.

    Digital Foundry must’ve paid Lens of Truth! :devil:

    • SlippyMadFrog

      …and Microsoft must have paid everyone. :biggrin:

  • Uberutang

    MY wive has informed me that I’ll be getting the PS3 version, as the PS3 makes less grinding noises when I play :-)

  • Fred

    Get on playing the games people …. Where’s the review Lazy? The XBOX PERFORMS BETTER AT MULTIPLATS , I THINK WE CALLED IT LONG TOME AGO.

    • http://www.designwave.co.za Nick de Bruyne

      Hey Fred, The review copies arrived late for the game, so we weren’t able to have a review out already but should have one this week

  • Pillay

    Why do comparison screenshots of Lens of Truth always show one platform more washed out than the other? I have both consoles and neither one has ever been more washed out than the other.

    I call bullshit on Lens of Truth and their methods.

  • Super_Bonk

    what happened to this site. I was gone for a few days and the sh!t hit the fan. I am dumbfounded, I am refering to the earlier articles and comments.

    • http://www.designwave.co.za Nick de Bruyne

      Don’t ask, Global Warming is apparently the hot (lol) topic at the moment in that other PSN thread.

      • Super_Bonk

        Global Warming? Well that is easy, we all know M$ is responsible for that. Bastards for causing the extinction of life as we know it.
