The AC3 Remaster launched with a very noticeable visual problem. In cutscenes, the massively improved lighting model made characters look as though they were made from clay. The remaster also had heaps of bugs and some significant problems with its PC port.
I gotta admit. I am... a mite concerned looking at this changelog. Fixing the character models in cutscenes is a very important improvement. But the remaster currently has a lot of bugs. And the massive patch makes no mention of fixing them. One hopes that they've simply neglected to mention the fixes. As someone who is rather fond of AC3, the sorry state the remaster released in has been quite depressing, especially since Ubi clearly put a lot of work into the remaster overall. Remasters shouldn't be buggier than the original version. Especially since you can't buy the original version (which was also full of crippling game breaking bugs, mind you), on Steam anymore.
