Coming from Ubisoft I doubt the game will look like this even on PC. Probably another Ubi hallmark: bullshots
 
Just finished watching an hour of Angry Joe playing.

I was a bit underwhelmed.

Enemies are bullet sponges, and aren't injured even when health is low.
They're pretty dumb, or should I say, non tactical.
No stealth isn't a deal breaker, but what were they thinking? Ubisoft has stealth incorporated into all of their games. Why not here when it can create a strategic advantage?
Weird cover system and invisible walls obstructing your ability to shoot when your gun is clearly above the obstruction.
Enemies ice skating to cover, and barely using cover to begin with.
The map is 3 times smaller than I was lead to believe. I thought Brooklyn and Queens would be accessible from their e3 presentations, but the guy in charge of the demo Angry Joe was involved in said the white borders are the only places you can go to on the map. It's like from Central Park to 14th street. And doesn't really look up to scale. I'm nitpicking here but I wanted to explore more of my digital city.
The guy in charge was also very excited about "closing car doors" lol.. It doesn't look as good though.


The game looks great though. It doesn't look as polished as e3 (I mean, what ever does?) but it's still visually pleasing to me.
There's a bunch of detail, the crafting system looks fun.

This looks like a fun game to play with friends. Hopefully linking up with friends won't be a pain. Matchmaking nowadays sucks.

Does anyone know how the hosting will work? Will they be dedicated servers or hosted by players?

Lucky you. I don't have time for dealing with that, especially at those wage rates.

Back on topic, pre-ordered and signed up for the beta. Can't wait to see if this hooks me like Destiny did, but maybe without all the self loathing that game caused(Destiny first-year problems).

Well the video impressions feature these screens in the actual video and does not say "The game does not look like this". He actually says this is what to expect when playing the game at ultra 4k. And he has not only seen the PC version, but played it.

I tend to believe those that have played it, and those that are making it, over those who are just speculating based on images given to them by those making the game.

Same here, no problem with them.

When taking shots you max out everything and up it to 4k so you can downsample the images later. Who gives a fuck if you're getting 10 fps as long as you can get the shot. That's what I mean, so now you know..

What?


It's 2016. You know many of us play all of our games at native 4K now right? It's not just for downsampling screenshots now. That's how the games look when we are playing.

I also tend to believe those who have played it, but those who are making it? Not really again coming from Ubi's track record I don't believe them a bit!

Like those Ubisoft released shots?

Excuse me a second...

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ok.

I'm talkiing gameplay, not graphics GTFO. What from a gameplay perspective is misrepresented?????

The "vast minority" and "many gafers" are not mutually exclusive. GAF is itself a minority, so many GAFers kind of goes without saying...
Click to expand...

GAF is a minority already, 4K displays are an even bigger minority overall, the overall minority of 4K users is really minor, like a handful.

Minority. You know when you look at a word and it doesn't look like a word anymore? Yeah that just happened.

You just repeated what I said, using slightly different verbiage... was that your intent?

You realize when you are referencing those static images people assume you are comparing it graphically, you are saying it "looks like that", which automatically makes people assume you are referencing graphics, not gameplay. Gameplay will be the same across the board, but it can look different based on graphical options (i.e. better looking explosions).

You are moving the goal posts, but even then a vast minority of GAF PC users are capable of playing at 4K.
Click to expand...

I dunno that I am moving goal posts. When I say "Many of us", I am referring to PC gaf. Many of which play at 4K or DSR for gameplay, not just screenshots. Unless I am mistaking frequency of posts for unique users. Obviously not tracking anything in any meaningful way...At anyrate, I think implying that the game will run at 10fps maxed out, or that Ultra 4K is just for screenshots is silly. That was the base of my point.

10fps was just a broad example. My point being sub-30. From PC gaf I can only think of 2 or 3 names that have 4K capable gaming rigs. I can hit 4K but not playable. Anyway, my intent wasn't to derail Division talk, not that we have much to go on right now anyway.

I was a little disappointed with the scale of the city but honestly I would rather explore a detailed digital midtown and get high quality expansions that recreate downtown, uptown, Williamsburg, etc

I'm impressed by how they've gotten the "feel" of NYC right just walking around the streets. Hopefully the PC version looks better

Wait are you saying companies owned by Ubisoft are not UBisoft?

Last I checked they were Ubisoft Massive
Click to expand...

Ubisoft Studios are different than a company bought by the publisher. Yes.


Wolfenstien New Order and Fallout 4 are both owned by Bethesda. One is made by Bethesda, one is not. There are still different expectations for different developers. Whether or not they are under the same umbrella, or now have a different title than they had before.

Nevermind, my mind is fried just thinking about it.

I was referencing a comment that "Gameplay wont look like the screens" .

I stated that it does. Does it have the same lighting, textures, res, etc,, No. But nothing going on in the screen from a gameplay perspective seems exaggerated to me.

I read Gameplay as gameplay

It seems to be written as Gameplay = what it looks like when playing the game.

Did't read it that way and I appologize. And lol using my avatar to mark me as a console'/xbox fan.

I updated my post, it's just confusing the way you worded it. It's hard to discern how gameplay will look from a static image, which many assumed you meant graphically. I also looked into that users post and sort of tried to make sense of the whole situation once you mentioned gameplay as it seemed weird. Your avatar didn't help as well. Which led people to believe either you were a blind fanboy or just trolling. Maybe those were not your intentions but they came across that way, it's why I redacted my original post.

Also remember people every time you guys look at a Ubisoft screenshot, just think back to Watch_Dogs. Don't fall into the same trap. WE KNOW BETTER! WE CAN FIGHT THE UBIBULLSHOT DISEASE!

Yeah it's why people assumed, you just see a controller and you don't do a double take or realize - I mean would you look at the face buttons to make sure it has a PC reference in it? It just leads people (such as myself) to easily assume he said it to be an ass, which he didn't. The whole thing was just a mess of misunderstandings.

I'm not normally one to cry about CA, but oof. I'm hoping it's just those screenshots, but looking at them literally made my eyes/head hurt a little, like I was trying to focus on something that couldn't be focused on.

You can turn off CA anyway.

Oh, I know. I didn't say that in an attempt to slander the game; I was just commenting on those particular shots.

When the CA is overbearing enough that it bothers someone that CA doesn't traditionally bother, that's saying something.

I'm glad the PC options are as extensive as they are, and that some of that type of thing are finally leaking into the console options.
