Damn the game looks good. Wasn't sure about preordering before, but if the PS4 version looks that good, I can only imagine how good the PC version is gonna be.
Jesus Christ the entitled whining in this thread has reached epic proportions
Here we go again
- game was advertised as a something amazing looking next gen graphics, fx and so on
- receive bullshit final product that has almost nothing to do with pre-release supposedly in-game trailers
- whine that other people are fed up with bullshit, you clearly can swallow one more
- post yt video which looks like shit in 720 and every texture is one big blur - say that you dont see the vaseline effect

Fixed that for you.
Good one
Btw, gameplay videos are already being removed, info from gamersyde - This video is for a game under an embargo and won't be visible until 2014-11-13 00:00:00 CEST. All that they have on site now is the official materials and trailers.

That must mean we've almost caught up to the apologists whining.
Nobody cares about your personal preference for what looks fine as it's irrelevant. They chose to sell it to us another way for the past 9 months, and now we can see clear differences.
And 'looking fine' has fuck all to do with 'looking as advertised', eg: the Ubisoft bullshots. This also all started from a leak, meaning they were quite happy to let people continue believing that it was something it wasn't by not showcasing how the game actually looked and played before release.
But please, go ahead and defend that
Dat Irony
I'm not defending anything, why do you act so surprised? Seems like you've forgotten or choose to ignore the watch dogs debacle of what was promised and what was delivered, seems like this game is on the same predictable track
They in the business of making money, you don't want to give them your hard earned money because they selectively chose to deceive you by selling you a mediocre product don't be mad at them, hate the industry's standard of operation.
No use hating on the game devs they're people like you and me with real jobs and deadlines to meet so its inevitable that they have to make concessions down the road, if you ever worked in a similar industry you'd know this.
If you don't like it....don't buy it, don't support the companies that make it, I've been using that approach with COD franchise since MW2, I simply stopped buying and caring, it just isn't worth it.
But Jesus, stop with he entitled and elitist attitude, its gotten so pathetic.. it's even rubbed hard on the consolites who expect their $400 "next-gen" machines to beat or match a $1500 PC in terms of performance.
It simply isn't going to happen.

Nice offtopic No one here cares about the consoles, but as we already know almost for sure, pc release will look the same and will be lacking in technical aspects due to them.
... "b..b...but look at all those people! The crowd! That's never been done before! Surely that's worth a graphical downgrade the likes of which has hitherto been unheard of!? Surely!?"
To be fair, NPCs in Hitman: Blood Money were just zombies, they didn't have any AI at all and were just wandering around, getting stuck on objects etc:
Quote:
Yeah, everyone in the crowd looked like zombies because they didn’t move their eyes. They just walked around without eyelids. It was mainly animation – or lack of animation – that made them look like that. We had other problems too. For the crowd, they would move around almost like water in a stream but in the corners they got stuck and walked around in circles because they were kind of trapped in geometry.
It's almost the exact same case in Absolution, sure, there's a lot of people on the screen, BUT they are mostly zombies, and as soon as you fire a single shot, all the people magically disappear It's really jarring.
Anyway, my point is: you can put a lot of (HQ) NPCs in a linear level where you can predict everything and the number of NPCs is static, it's a whole lot more difficult when the player can move around the city and the number of NPCs is adjusted automatically.
The most jarring thing in that video is the lack of detail on the buildings, they look like cardboard cutouts (from 1:40 onwards)
How is there any irony in personal preference when I'm basing my distaste on false advertising?
Notice how I didn't have an 'attitude' when I bought Shadow of Mordor, Lords of the Fallen or Alien? Because they looked exactly as advertised from developers who are all interested in making money. It has nothing to do with an industry standard of operation. Christ, you are full of shit.
> "I'm not defending anything"
> ~3 paragraphs of defending what they've done
Lol you're gonna call them out on false advertising? have you been living under a rock?
And there wasn't a lot of expectations from Alien Isolation or Shadow of Mordor, they look good in their own right but neither of them are on par with the technology of a sandbox game like Assassins Creed, the complexity is on a another level.
I would say the game dons't look exactly next-gen and if you asked a novice he wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference between black flag and unity but I don't think ubisoft really care, they advertised the game with huge crowd simulations as one of the next-gen features which may seem useless to you but its their game and their vision
this may sound like defensive tripe but at the end of the day games are an art, all entertainment is, most people are sheep who will embrace it. You will choose to whine until you accept that there isn't much you can do other than just play the game or sit on the fence.

Oh I'm sorry for going off topic, please continue to whine and crib about a how a company who has milked a franchise dry is shafting your gullible ass (peen) one more time.

Like I give two fucks about AC franchise youre just full of bullshit, nothing to see here.
"They fucked us every time, why you complain if they are going to fuck us once again, just bend over" attitude, mixed with some weak trolling, flaming and offtopic "arguments" to support your sentences. Too old for that.
True. The amount of bullshit in this thread is increasing every day we get closer to launch date.
The game doesn't look good. And no, more bland, cannonfodder NPCs on the screen can't be an excuse for that.
And same as with Watch Dogs, almost nobody would bitch about the graphics if what's seen in the leaked videos was remotely similar to official Ubisoft gameplay videos.
And this part is pure speculation but it's Ubisoft so it's not a long shot; the PC version will be an unoptimized piece of shit, while looking marginally better than its console counterparts.
Boggles my mind when I see people defending that crap.

After watching some E3 and other videos I kinda agree it's a downgrade but the city does look great although i'm not a fan of the Paris setting.
The huge number of NPC's on-screen are definitely the reason they had to compromise on the level of detail. No doubt.
It's playing out exactly like the watch dogs fiasco and judging by the system requirements it's going to run absolutely terrible on mid ranged systems.
We will have to wait for tweaks and fixes to make the game run well enough first. Just like the stuttering fix in watch dogs Then we can look forward to make it look better.

Just because something has happened before, does not mean it's fine when it happens again. People can complain about something that has happened before.
Whats wrong with those videos, there are almost no differences between 360 and 720 modes, wtf.
To be fair, judging anything based on a YT video isn't a good idea at any resolution, even 1080p is highly compressed and blurry as shit compared to a lossless video.
(and to pre-empt the bitching: I'm not defending the game or ubi, I already said how I think the downgrade and fake trailers are despicable, just saying that a compressed 720p YT video won't tell a full story)

I know. But those recent AC videos are ridiculous in that manner, usually you can see a jump in quality between 360 720 and 1080. In those videos I dont see any, maybe its just the case of terrible PS4 compression and then again YT compression.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
