Um, what? Have you even looked at those AC:U shots? It looks like a blurry, jaggy mess. The IQ in AC4 is much better....but that's about it.

Its AC, it doesn't look like much new have been added so if you liked the previous ones you'll probably like this one. I think I'll be skipping this, it was mostly the ship combat that I liked enough to complete AC4.

Looks just as blurry as Watch Dogs. Ubi, whatever you're doing do it differently.

Looks good to me. Too bad AC games never really grabbed my interest. I like the majority of the game when you play as the actual Assassin, but the futuristic parts really throw me off and take me out of immeresing myself in the game. It just seems so out of place, and unneeded, the side missions are also repetitive as hell. I've heard they've really worked on the latter, so I'll keep an eye on this game after its release
Half of that is lighting.

So the alpha footage was recorded on PC, right? It will still look like that on PC.... right?

Thats what it looks like to me. Its like they went for a painting look.
The same stuff used in Black Ops II on PS3.

An Nvidia Trailer was released a few days ago detailing the advantages of the PC version.
It looks much better than the PS4 screenshots, but not as good as the reveal. I don't expect anyone without a pair of really high end cards and a very beefy CPU to get those visuals with decent performance, though.

This does not look like "the most graphically-impressive game ever" that this one Ubisoft employee was touting.

They can. AC4 - PS4:
Now there is a nice looking game ...why cant ubi do something like that for unity ?
GTA5?
Game had terrible frame rate. That killed it for me. I'm very skeptical about the "remastered" version of this game. No way I'm pre-ordering it. Going to wait until it's released to see how it holds up.

It doesn't look like just being 900p upscaled to 1080p is the root cause of the poor image quality. Other 900p games look far superior.
Just happy there are millions of people who don't give a crap about this and it's only a small percentage of people on obscure forums who are so uptight about this.
It's delicious to read some those comments.
Ubisoft claim that ACU is the most beautiful and powerful next gen made so far and it doesn't look anywhere near that. They always set the bar so damn high and promise us the moon only to under-deliver. People seem to have had enough of these bullshit claims.
I know it's taken it's toll on me and I'll pass Unity, the first time I'm dodging an AC game for a while (sure what the hell does this even matter to Ubi the giant).
They can keep doing this for a while as the masses will always definitely buy, but I do feel a slight core is disenfranchised with AC.

Right? Lol. Oh, Ubisoft.
The HORROR!
If you think 900p looks like this then you've never seen 900p.
There is something up with these pictures but taking any bit of a second to look at sunset overdrive and you'll notice that it looks nothing close to this bad.
We have no idea how old this build is.
Looks like not buying and not supporting it at all is the way to go with this title.
It's the AA they are using, it blurs the image and then sharpens it to artificially induce high frequency details. But in effect what you get in the end is an image that has lost most of its detail.
Keep in mind this is an overblown image and when it gets applied to an entire screen in the game the effect is more pronounced and blurry.
I was objecting to his notion that BF4 looks like 1440p compared to AC:U. It doesn't, it still looks like 900p but with better AA than AC:U.

If you're interested in the game and have a top of the line PC I don't see why you would have a problem with it.

So much for the "new engine".
This game is running on the same engine as old AC with a few lighting tweaks, no more no less.
The IQ is absolutely crap and I don't see what could justify the 900p resolution for the PS4.
Another game, another Ubisoft fiasco : Will people ever learn ?

Dude, no it doesn't. That shot looks terrible. It almost looks like a last gen game (if that's what it actually looks like).
Τhis.
Also, I would advise people to hold their PC expectations at bay...remember Watchdogs?

I think Chobel is right here. It's a bad combination of 900p, poor post-processing AA, and screwed up gamma. The AA needs a sharpening pass and the gamma needs to be lowered a notch or something like that.
EDIT: Maybe the person capturing the screens turned up in-game gamma?
The guy is literally getting giddy at the idea that people are upset at false advertisement.
He's not worth engaging.

You can look at parts of any screenshot and find issues...the guy in the corner looks like shadows are obstructing his face and hbao is blurring out some details (just like distance and focus does in real life)
Looking at the entire screenshot it looks excellent
Not when the issues are that glaring. It's not like you actually need to search for most of the problems.

This is important...they want it to have filmic qualities and this is how they get them

What did AC4 900p upscaled to 1080p look like? Can someone post screenshots?

Yup, I've repeatedly said this in this thread. The AA solution is what is making it look so blurry.
Digital Foundry will have a field day, they hate shitty AA solutions. Being 900p they likely wanted something that would smooth it out as much as possible.

...why?
I'll wait to see officially released shots and video on Gamersyde.
Otherwise it is completely up in the air where these screenshots came from.

Hopefully a day one patch sharpens the AA solution a bit.

And if they showed a great quality doctored/pc version with bells and whistles video that must mean resolution (image quality) does indeed matter.
What resolution was the reveal video?
