Assassin's Creed Rogue unfairly fell slightly under the radar upon its initial release back in 2014, launching at the tail-end of a generation and the burgeoning sophomore years of a new one, alongside French Revolution counterpart Assassin's Creed Unity. While Unity was riddled with bugs and a bit boring, AC Rogue, by comparison was rather good, even if its protagonist's weird Irish accent wasn't.

Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered gives an under-appreciated game a second bite of the cherry then, and if you've yet to play the final AC game to be released for last-gen platforms, this presents a golden opportunity. Turning Creed conventions on their head, Rogue has you playing as man with three first names, Shay Patrick Cormac, a one-time member of the assassin's order who joins the Templars to hunt down and kill those he once considered brothers.

In short, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is well-worth playing, regardless of the visual upgrade. But how much better does the game look on PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro when compared to the last-gen original? Is it that much of a graphical upgrade, or will you be struggling to see the difference beyond the obvious hike in resolution? Check out our comparison video below and see for yourself!

  • Ever since the PS3, I can never seem to tell a huge difference between past and current gen when I see split screen comparisons... The PS3 still has pretty good playability in my mind.
  • PS3 still a beast in graphics, that cause of it hardware structure (Cell) only AC1, AC3 and Liberation (HD) that have been on main consoles that are yet to see a remaster, hoping maybe a remake for original, especially with new game engine they now use
  • ACR ran, and looked, like a dream on a console that usually struggles to maintain a stable frame rate on most any game, let alone a big open world one. Tellingly, there isn't much of a difference between PS3 and PS4.
  • I was hoping for 60fps.. Didn't get it. Won't bother getting it then.
  • @2, Liberation HD was already a remaster/port, it's from the Vita. Although if they remade the game for PS4, I'd still buy it again :D
  • I really enjoyed this game back on ps3. It ranks as probably my second favorite AC after 2, but I will say it felt really short to me. Maybe I was just greedy and wanted more. Not sure if I would buy it again just because I have kind of burned myself out with AC, I may come back to the series but I can't see myself doing it right now. Granted for AC fans who never got to enjoy this game I hope they give it a chance.
