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.
Thanks, so if they simply made it 1080p without that blurry AA it would look much sharper right? Is so, why didn't they go with that option? Is it about the parity I've been reading?

yikes. the game looks better in motion and well here's to hoping the game is good and fun.
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
This shot looks horrendous. Vaseline everywhere.
Honestly, some of the shots I'm getting Liberation Vita vibes from Arno.
How do you know?
Because I've watched shitty Youtube gameplay videos and it still looks impressive.
Seriously stop saying AC4 looks better than this because it's simply not true. It might have better IQ on the PS4 but assets and lighting in Unity look almost CGI to me and absolutely gen-leap, whereas AC4 PS4 looks like an upres PS3 game, which is exactly what it is. Were you expecting all of the NPC to have insane face detail? 4K resolution and 60fps in a Playstation 4? What the hell do you think a PS4 is? I'm actually quite surprised of how incredibly good this game looks in the console.
And I don't like Ubi nor have an interest in playing this game.

Surely even the last gen had better hair texture on characters than this? Awful
heard there going to be a beta of the game, but i didn't know this was the finish game.

Mannn, those screens are ugly as hell !
Look like a PS3 game. There's some crispiness missing in those screens.

It would but increasing the resolution is a lot more expensive than AA
I don't prioritize visuals in my purchasing decisions, but this looks impossibly bland. Zero stylized art direction and technically inept. It's as if they didn't even try.
Have they gone back to the drawing board with AC and this is their first go with a new engine or is there something else going on here?

Just imagine that plus xbox sharpening filter plus the aggressive sharpening most TVs do by default.
Yum yum.

I'm more worried about other things with this game than resolution and "jaggies". Like the newly reworked structure to the missions. I hope they are actually able to deliver on being able to tackle assassinations in a variety of ways, tailoring to different play styles. I hope we get more options for stealth/social stealth and have everything less linear, having you play by the developers rules with a bunch of secondary objectives.
I see we've moved on from legitimate complaints and on to insane hyperbole.

Not exactly... Ubisoft went out and said that resolutions "aint finalized yet"...

Thats insulting to PS3 games. Hell Black Flag on 360 looked clearer than that. I really hope there's just some tomfoolery going on here. I'm playing Sunset Overdrive now and its only 900p and lacking some AA but it doesn't look like a blurry mess.
I see that the hate and the consequent desire to bash because of the parity debacle is really strong in this thread....understandably.
Looking at things more objectively, I see that the game clearly lacks the picture clarity of 1080p games, but there are many impressive things (lighting, scale, NPCs) and played on a TV in motion this will still look VERY impressive, screenshots just don't do justice to how games look in motion in any case.

Infamous SS really looks like it is leaps and bounds above these screens.
What do you not get?
A company, let's call them Ubisoft, releases a bunch of screens and trailers for a game, let's call that game Assassins Creed. The game looks crisp, highly detailed, and graphically superior to almost anything shown prior. Ubisoft markets it to be what you can expect to be playing by years end. They have developers going on record claiming it's the greatest graphical achievement around. Claim it's real time footage. Encourage pre-orders.
Then some time passes and that same company admits they are going to intentionally gimp one version to create console parity. Then they try and walk it back by saying resolutions aren't finalized yet.
Then as release date approaches we get screenshots that show not only that Ubisoft intentionally gimped the more powerful console but that they completely misrepresented the game they revealed and promised to consumers. The game we will get will be a Far Cry from what was revealed to us.

We also didn't know how the game truly looked like.
I think they captured the likeness perfectly
LOL. Man, you guys crack me up.
I don't care about screenshots, I'm talking about the game in motion. I've played games that look like a completely different game when I play it than when I see screens of it and I've learned the lesson already. Go along with it and outrage if you want though.
There's an internal beta happening right now at least on ps4. I saw someone on my friends list playing it about an hour ago.

They dropped the numbers to AC. What would you call Rogue? AC6?

But it hasn't even been announced yet!
I'm still in for Unity, I've seen bad screens, good ones, and good videos.
I knew I should have elaborated. I don't think these shots look like they could run on a Vita, or that they look like Liberation. But Arno, and only Arno, in this image
doesn't look much better than Aveline's model in Liberation. I don't know if it's the vaseline filter, the upressed shot or something else, but it really doesn't look very impressive. A far cry from Edward in ACIV too.
Ewww..
I can't wait for this game, but this thread is a goldmine. Funny shit.

Anyone?
I feel the same
No colors, bad textures, no AA, Everything is just awful
WHAT THA HECK HAPPENED ?
Could be a big downgrade
It's official - everyone in this thread is f*cking CRAY CRAY.
All the gameplay videos I've seen look great so far, especially the hair. Most of these shots look compressed to hell. I'm going to wait on proper video coming out before I make my mind up.
Yes, Ubisoft downgrades, but they also release good looking games generally.

Doubtful.
These seem to be released by someone who is craving to destroy Ubisoft even more.
Bad publicity has been running down on them with this project for months with the whole no female protagonist and parity issues. This is just another simple icing on the cake.
If I am wrong Ubisoft are destroying themselves. Which will be laughable at best.
Ok, that makes more sense.

This sounds like the most putrid form of anti-aliasing I've ever heard of.
