The switch is basically the ps3 version that runs better. Can't complain though, seeing AC4 running so well on a handheld is impressive.

[kenteets]

The porting companies do a remarkable job getting the most important stuff in while lowering detail in places that are not as important.

[xfurygamingx]

For a handheld game i'd say it's good

[OscarTheSage]

I’m down to buy Assassin’s Creed 4 again for the fourth time.

[Forduss]

It’s impressive for a handheld system, the differences are so minimal

[noodlegrannybill]

I love Black Flag..some of the most memorable characters for me.

[LSelecDgns]

Very impressive port, especially after AC3 earlier this year.

[aimgrace]

I feel like the roofs are redder and cleaner on Switch, and the sound effects are SO MUCH CRISPER on Switch as well. Pretty amazing for a handheld, I’d say!

[Logi_Bear-svjg]

How does it almost look the same! That’s amazing

[JulioHernandez-nnoz]

I'm impressed nintendo is trying hard to close the big gap that they have had after nintendo 64

[hypermaniksk]

only difference is it is running on a bit lower graphics settings and on 720p, and it handles the game on 30fps? it is good

[kaitodesire]

Now we need ezio collection on the switch. I hope ubisoft and Nintendo will do that

[zudy]

Holy crap, the swicth is so goddamn impressive compared to other handhelds out there right now!

[NotBorno]

usual differences... ambient occlusion, texture resolution, shadow resolution, vegetation quality(also ps4 has dynamic vegetation), draw distance...

[NvA]

For a switch port these graphics look great

[juanrr]

People forget the switch is a fuckin handheld console

[MuscledRMH]

Such an awesome game that I still need to finish..

[abhinav]

for a handheld game its really nice I've been playing AC 4 on my switch and it looks really nice i have no complain i just wish if witcher 3 also looked this good on switch.

[philipfang]

You don't really see anything wrong until they are matched up. Nicely done Ubisoft

[ImmaPandaRawr]

One other difference I noticed is when sneaking through foliage. On PS4/Xbox One the environment moves around you whereas on the switch it is stagnant. But the port runs and plays well! I almost didn’t notice a difference until I saw this video.
