Ubisoft is already developing a remake for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, indicating that the company does indeed have an interest in revisiting older games. Recent demos for the Unreal Engine have teased what this generation of gaming is capable, so even a fraction of that power being put into this remake would surely yield great results. This can be remedied with the polish treatment, updating and/or overhauling old assets. Character animations that were once smooth as silk are now clunky, while previously gorgeous locations look drab and dull. This is expected, considering the constant improvements made to gaming hardware as years go by, but still a valid point nonetheless. While a technical marvel back in 2007, the original Assassin's Creedis beginning to look rough around the edges by today's standards.

Thankfully, gaming seems to have entered an era of giving older games a fresh coat of paint, with high quality remakes like Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy 7: Intergrade breathing new life into aging titles. The combat was functional but shallow, and in-game objectives became very repetitive, especially with a lack of decent side quests. No more than a year into this generation, the original Assassin's Creed was released in 2007, launching a mega-hit franchise with regular releases from Ubisoft to this day.Īlthough praised at the time for its unique premise and visuals, the original Assassin's Creedhas unfortunately begun to show its age, especially compared to subsequent entries. The PS3/360 era made huge leaps in high definition gaming, with graphics being pushed farther than ever before, with a laundry list of titles showcasing what was possible. Just as the gaming industry is ushering in a new era of consoles, it has already been 15 years since the PS3 and Xbox 360 launched, two generations ago.
