Assassin's Creed 2 remaster has strange differences

We don't remember seeing that face before...
Fabrizia Malgieri 19 November 2016

Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection is now available on PS4 and Xbox One and, if you don't know what we're talking about, it's a massive collection including three games starring Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the most important and loved Assassin of Ubisoft's long-lived series, such as Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

A video comparison between the remastered edition of Assassin's Creed 2 included in this collection for Xbox One and the backwards-compatible edition of the original game for Xbox 360, both played on Xbox One, has been created, showing off all aspects of the game.

Although with landscapes, buildings and lighting it has done a great job, the same can't be be said for the characters. In some cases, it seems that Ubisoft - especially with NPCs - exaggerated the corrections, giving life to rather grotesque characters like the guy you can see below:

The same applies for Ezio's movements, especially when he climbs buildings, which appears rather unnatural compared to the original version (they were excessively speeded up, in a slap-stick comedy style). If you want to know more about that comparison, you can follow this link. Have you found any funny differences?
