I'm going to reserve judgment on Connor but as for the other two, I definitely have to say Altair despite the fact that I like AC2 and ACB better than AC1. I never really could accept Ezio as an assassin. He was setup as an easy-going playboy and despite the tragedy, the game never convinced me that he really transformed into a master assassin.

I liked Brotherhood the best with AC2 a close second. I liked the gameplay and mechanic improvements in ACB although having it mostly in one city took away some of the immense feeling I got from AC2. I thought Revelations was the weakest of all four.

I'm kind of repeating myself, but the answer at this point sounds like a massive NO!

I posted this on the non DE forum, but the news about how they did the port sounds downright appalling. Reports are that the game will be locked at 30fps and the internal rendering engine only renders at 1024x720 (which is then upscaled to your desired resolution). I'm not sure if I would want to buy this if this is the end result.

There is no reason they would limit this..GunEye
I'm totally speculating here but I can make an educated guess being a programmer myself. They probably never gave any thought to creating a port for the PC. When they built their engine, they decided to just hard-code the supported resolution in it since they only needed to worry about exactly two hardware configurations. So the actual programming of the engine may have those numbers (1024x720) hardcoded right into it (in lots of places) and there may be components written in such a way that they assumed these numbers would never change. If that's the case, modifying the engine to support multiple resolutions could be harder than you'd think. Of course, this isn't a great way to program but that doesn't stop developers from doing it.

I've been pretty interested in getting this game for the PC since the reviews have been so good but the news about how they did the port sounds downright appalling. Reports are that the game will be locked at 30fps and the internal rendering engine only renders at 1024x720 (which is then upscaled to your desired resolution).

And how about stop asking? I've taken the survey a couple of times. Seems pretty stupid to keep asking me.

GameFAQs is NOWHERE near as easy to use as GameSpot was. That site has always been an absolute mess with features being absurdly difficult to find, nothing is clear, and it looks straight up out of 1997.romana86
Yeah, I totally agree which is why I've always been a GS user. The GF system just sucks. *But* that's where most of the users are (at least where I hang out). Up till now, it's been getting the best of both. I've always wondered why GF users don't just come over to GS. I think they think that GS users are generally immature and stupid. Although I'm not sure if they can tell where a user comes from because they don't have avatars like GS does.

Does anyone know if the GF forums are going to be completely dumped at some point or will they remain around in Readonly-mode for the forseeable future? The board management at GF lacks the ability to see the last posts in the forum which I find a very useful feature, particularly for the low traffic boards.

It will be all systems combined though so no more seperate PC. 360, PS3. etc.Dracula68
I think this is one good thing about the change. I feel silly having 12 different Assassin's Creeds boards in my favorites list when I could just have 4. Of course now I'll need 16 if I want to keep the GF ones and add the GS ones :-(
