Poor girl. Now she can only hope no Gaffer will make a new thread about this.
On Twitter. Exact source is buried somewhere in those 50 pages.
I thought they were confirming the other trailer as being PS4? Not the trailer the car gif was taken from.
Didn't realize that had been said. I read through the first 20 or so pages and no one mentioned that.
That being said, if it's the same exact trailer, I still think it's safe to say it's representative of the 360 version. Even AC: Black Flag looked obviously different from old-gen.

There is a difference. It's a sunny day without wind or rain in that gameplay.
The first video actually contains sections that have the exact same location and time of day fyi.

I agree with this too. She said some dumb stuff IMO, but just leave her alone on Twitter.
To be fair she is doing absolute PR no-nos. Not Adam Orth level but it's still the kind of stuff you shouldn't say.
She just tweeted this:
Believe me the game is not downgraded, that would just be a bit ridiculous.

Yep thats whats bothering me the most. The character models don't look all that bad but there was so many cool elements in that initial reveal that just seem to be completely gone now.
How does that change the point she was making let alone make it untrue.

Oh, there's no middle ground between crappy and masterpiece? Huh...

But they also showed a video a long while back, during the day, of the character walking down a street with Autumn colored tree's and it was very very full of life. Unlike this new video.
I would put a link up but I'm at work and can't search for it.
It's not a visual masterpiece, but it still looks pretty good.

Yea, no need to cause a fucking explosion over it.
Keep it in the thread.
That's the short way of saying she will get harassed and receive abuse for just stating her opinion.
Oh god, make it stop. I doubt that she even has any real insight into development
It looks pretty damn good, it's also small budget, and running at 60fps.
It looks fantastic considering.
Seriously.you guys are going to make the poor girl lose her job
This thread is really highlighting how over-reactive GAF has become. It's fun to some degree but this is just out of control.
I don't think anyone is saying that. It's more that it's crisis mode at Ubi and this person is likely getting mixed messages on how to address messages she's getting on Twitter.
Or she's just botching basic PR tactics. Who knows?
Well, I was replying to a conversation thread that started from this:
in which case we would have a universe in which Ubisoft does not release PC ports that are utter shit.
In reality though, I guess you're right in saying that we would probably require better rigs.
Having said that, I've got a GTX 670 from 2 years back and it still runs Assassin's Creed 4 much, much better than either of the next-gen consoles could, and at the same time allowing the game to look* much better. I don't think the $150 card in question (a 750 Ti) is much worse than a GTX 670, so I'm not sure how badly PC gamers will be hit by Ubisoft's shitty PC ports
Why would she care?

Seriously, that's the only difference you see? Even in comparison to all the other release footage of the game?
You say you're not defending this game, but all I've seen you do is insult people and say that essentially the bad footage doesn't exist because there's some better sequences too, which are great because to you its good enough.
I think the best of that footage is much better than the gif people were throwing a fit over, and that the reveal was nothing more than a sales pitch. But I'm not going to ignore the bad parts that are there and what has been demonstrated by the company in the past and other open world games, especially with this supposedly a PC lead platform game.
Anyway, I still hope the gameplay is fun and hasn't also been compromised in some fashion. Some of the multiplayer stuff sounded great.
That's true, yeah.
The trailer doesn't look anywhere near like the E3 2012 reveal either, though, and I find it very hard to believe Ubisoft would give out b-roll footage of the last-gen version. Hell, except for the Aisha Tyler trailer they haven't shown the last-gen versions yet, not even to journalists. Why include scenes of it in b-roll footage that'll get used by magazines for their video previews?

She's 100% right about Outlast.
I was thinking the same thing. Tell him.
We don't want partially baked truths sprinkled with good feelings. If she's "kind of right" then she's mostly wrong.

The original 2012 E3 reveal looked fantastic with smoke blowing about the street, I certainly hope it gets those little things to as they really help with the overall feel of a living city.

I think it's fine to discuss what Ubi PR is saying and if we disagree with it.
That said, I wish they wouldn't throw her under the bus completely and I hope people don't start blowing up on Twitter.

Sorry? You must think you are funny.
Even in this vid you can see leaves and a can rolling down the street. But the weather is completely different. There will be rain and wind in the game, don't worry.
The game does look good enough for me as a Crossgen open world game, yes. Not as a nextgen only title. And yes, Ubi lied to us. That's what Ubi does.
That doesn't mean however that the gif in the op is representative of the game. That is the shame of this thread.
I'm not even sure i want this game. But if i don't buy it, it's not because of the graphics.
It would be like the old days, perhaps, which could be interesting. We'd have games where even the fastest available PC hardware would struggle to run them smoothly. I'm sure they'd look amazing, though.
Since the E3 footage, I went into a media blackout on this game just like I've done for Dark Souls 2 and Witcher 3. I rarely preorder but I was planning to preorder this as soon as we get a release date,
Seeing this now, the 'instant preorder' sentiment has turned into a 'cautious wait-and-see'.
Ubisoft you fooled me once with FarCry 3, not falling for this kind of bait-and-switch again.

That's the reason why Star Citizen has 42 million dollars funded. It's going to be insane and blow everything else away, anything less and I'll be disappointed.

The graphics are not crappy though, and besides the PR face of Ubisoft should not saying such things about another game all things considered.
Become? lol.
Depends on what your standards are, I guess. It looks decent at times. Not so good at other times.
Also, where did she say something that was 'factually' wrong?
People are seriously getting ridiculous in here.
