Why wasn't The Ezio Collection released for PC?

[StoNem.-]

AC2 looks less good talking about its graphics these days, but why the heck wasn't there the same remastering it had on consoles?

Games like Mafia 2 and others were remastered for all platforms

Ubisoft please take that as a suggestion.

I asked them a few months ago, and Ubisoft answered that the Ezio Collection is not on PC because the graphism and quality of Ezio Collection is exactly the same on PC having all graphic options at its best.

Hope this answer to your question.

It still would be nice to own collection like this. I don't like how original Ezio trilogy represented now, no achievements, stats and even some languages (I'm still mad that there is russian language from the box on PS4/Xone, but not on PC, and consoles aren't even popular in Russia), Brotherhood doesnt support cloud saves, Revelations lack DLC included important story stuff about 16 and Lucy. Bought everything on ubisoft connect btw

Do you know where I can still buy The lost archive DLC for revelation? It says it got deleted on Ubisoft connect

You can do it only buying gold edition on steam. I thought just like in case of AC2 I will get all DLC for free. And what makes it worse it's impossible to refund in ubisoft connect.

It was a console remaster. Be thankful you are on PC and don't have to deal with planned obsolescence like on consoles. They have to rebuy all their games every generation and there is a whole cottage industry around soaking them for double/triple dips of rereleases from previous gens.

I'm very glad we don't have to deal with the remaster stupidity and needing to rebuy all our games every 5-7 years.

So you're saying a modern pc can play every pc game released? We both know that's not true. Also planned obsolescence? No... Consoles are easy, people like easy. I have a high end pc but I still buy consoles.

I am actually playing the Ezio collection on Xbox as well as the Uplay PC version(in 4K at the highest menu settings) at the same time and I can attest that it is not the same. The Ezio collection has better textures and doesn't look as faded as the PC version.

However I believe the console versions are still capable of 30 fps while I am playing the PC version at 60 fps.

It is still the same game. The remastered version just looks better and have improved draw distance and a host of improved visual post-processing effects.

Not with Xbox consoles. They have back compatibility for many games from previous generations including the AC games and some of them are enhanced to higher resolutions up to 4K with improved fps and auto HDR added even to games that didn't have them originally.

Of course you can still purchase the remasters if you like but you don't lose access to your games from previous generations.

Their answer is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, obviously. No reasonable person can seriously claim that the level of visual quality were comparable.

You not only will NOT get the DLCs on PC no more... but you will lose them all on PC! LOL

I find this hilarious in hindsight. The collection does not look the same as the PC version maxed out. They were just purely lazy.

Even though they may look the same, in some cases better and others worse, I would still love to get this trilogy on steam, especially now that Ubisoft is adding achievements to their games, I would love to 100% these games all over again. Also the controls on the PC versions of these games are and absolute mess and the DLC for Revelations is not even playable anymore. I'd say they should definitely release this trilogy on PC. I would 100% buy it. Especially if it has steam achievements.

Indeed, the same for me. But Ubisoft made a lot of bad choices since years and they are starting to regret it.

Honestly, good. They are finally getting their just desserts for making the most iterative games over and over again and running franchises into the ground by refusing to innovate.
