During the first part of my hands-on, I guided Aveline through the treetops of the Louisana bayou, swinging from branches and leaping nimbly over tree stumps. It all looked and played a lot like the tundra free-running of Assassin's Creed 3, which is no huge surprise given that both games run on the AnvilNext engine. Ubisoft Sofia hasn't simply bumped up the resolution, but has reworked the visuals and presentation from the ground up. Cutscenes have been remade with new animations, and the camera work has been tweaked, bringing Liberation's look up to par with other AC console releases. Besides the HD textures, there are new lighting effects, new shadows, new meshes and renders, plus fully remastered audio.
