Visual quality isn't really our point of contention on consoles, though - that comes down to performance. The sequel holds-up more solidly on consoles, while the original suffers from noticeable performance issues.
A full-on graphics comparison of Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Ultimate Alliance 2. And on top of that, it's better than the PC version of the original game too.
#MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE PC VS PS2 PS4#
These are relatively small visual blemishes in the grand scheme of things, and don't always stick out noticeably during gameplay, but on the whole it's the PS4 version that provides the most refined presentation across consoles in both titles. For example, shadows are unfiltered on Xbox One and PC in the first game, leading to pixelation around these elements, while normal maps are handled differently in the sequel on Microsoft's console, with brickwork appearing slightly flatter as a result.
A similar set-up is also present on PC, where graphical settings are limited to high, medium, and low presets, though you can of course adjust resolution and toggle v-sync.įor the most part all three versions share the same level of asset and effects quality, although there are some differences in places.
#MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE PC VS PS2 1080P#
This lends the presentation a smoother, more refined look over the 1080p mode found in the first Ultimate Alliance on PS3, which operated with the full pixel count but utilised no AA at all. Both games run at native 1080p on PS4 and Xbox One with post-process anti-aliasing in play. There's a massive difference between the first two games, with the original offering up shaky performance levels while bizarrely, the sequel delivers far more consistent frame-rates.
Uneven frame-rates and some horrific bugs show up the lack of polish embellished on these conversions and to be frank, we deserved so much more.Īnd when we talk about variation in quality between the quality of the ports, we aren't joking. The extent of the disappointment is as variable as the quality of the ports themselves and indeed the platform you choose to play them on. A remaster that came out of nowhere, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and its sequel arrive on current-gen consoles (with a PC port of the sequel) but it's fair to say that the experience falls well short.
