I was looking into this game based on that time anomaly video. Will wait for PC reviews I guess, cant imagine this running well on a 2500k and 770.

what the heck the game looked way better in trailers and gameplays showed early

This game is made by Ubisoft, this is how they do. Remember the trailer for Watchdogs and then how it looked when it was released? I expect modders to find graphical improvement code for the pc version of Unity like they did for watch dogs lol. Ubisoft loves to take the hype train to 11 and then right when we are all excited they pull the rug out from under us and release a game with last gen graphics.

I've been told Spaceology is the real deal... perhaps we can Space Star Order the non-direct capture Unity footage/screenshots of our dreams?

Looks meh.
definitively not as good as they suggested it would be.

Also: no way that those screenshots require such a crazy high specs as suggested before, right? That would be ridiculous

I think something is seriously wrong with those screenshots, like someone set console output to 720, then upscaled or something. Shouldn't HUD elements be sharper/ rendered at native resolution? Or is this this only Xbox One feature?

People that complain about FFXII should consider how great that game looked so late in the PS2's life cycle.

I think it's the scale that did it. Didn't Resistance FOM have a similar situation, but they made it work.

ff12 has jaggiest texture of the ps2, character is huge step back because of the somewhat open areas but they are really really polygonal even for ps2....
I'll never understand the technical hype for this game.

The bit where the severed head doesn't move in time with the hand holding it (and doesn't look like it's swinging by the hair either) is pretty amazing.

That's some real next-gen stuff.[/QUOTE]
I'm more bothered by the bottom of the frame being more saturated. Certainly a keen eye responsible for that.

Huh? I'm pretty sure this isn't right. Far Cry 3 ran great and I've seen benchmarks putting the minimum framerate of a single 970 at above 60fps.

what in the hell are you talking about
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_970_STRIX_OC/14.html
so 63.3 average frames per second at 1920x1080, at max settings, with 4xAA is now only "BARELY" running and "ABSOLUTELY AWFUL PERFORMANCE".

If no card exists that can run the game consistently above 60 FPS, then I excpect zany good graphics. Far Cry 3 didn't have zany good graphics.

Edit: Maybe "absolutely awful" was an exaggeration. The game ran fine; but definately not great, or as good as people are saying.

PS360 games could render the HUD at native 1080p and upscale everything else.

There's plenty of Xbone games with sub-1080p HUD.

I've always bought the other AC games day one, really enjoyed the previous games. But nope, not this time, no money for UBI this time. Nope.

I can't really believe that those screenshots are for real, if they are it's going to be interesting seeing the reviews.

Nope a 670 could max it out easily.

This is simply untrue. I was running it at 1080p60fps with a HD7950 with everything maxed except AA. My 970 shits all over it.

Looking at three benchmarks right now. Neither a 670 nor a 7950 can run the game at 60+ FPS.

From those captures, it's visually super underwhelming.

I wish Ubisoft would give us some proper screenshots- no bullshotting allowed!

I want the game- but some of those captures are absolutely horrid.

Did you miss the part where I said maxed except for AA? All those benches have 4xMSAA. Also I presume these are cards at stock speeds, whereas mine was overclocked to 7970 levels at least.
 
I have never really touched the AC IP.

Played AC1 and some of some other one... but I am really considering maybe purchasing this down the road.

IMO you should try Black Flag. It was my first AC and I absolutely loved it. The pirating stuff is so fun. You can probably find it for cheap too.

You are right. Nobody is using their eyes when playing video games anyway. It's not about the graphics.At all.

The only time when "its not about the graphics" is applicable, is when the gameplay is absolutely rubbish by trade-off. Gameplay can claw back and entertain without "graphics" tipping the overall rating of the game to "fun + enjoyable" but AAA gaming is all about the eye-candy and will always be held on a pedestal and judged with its competitors.

A game WITH eye-candy and amazing gameplay, can become GOTY material and is what can set itself apart, but excluding graphics is imo disingenuous.
 
I assumed that the screenshots would not look too bad considering GAF likes to freak out way too easily about this kind of thing.

But I am surprised how bad it looks. It is really, really awful. Someone at Ubisoft has to be ashamed of the way it looks, right?

Yeah, good idea :) I think though, like with a lot of other big AAA IPs, the attention doesn't hold me long for whatever reason. But if the story is nice enough, I think I can do a playthrough.

Or maybe I can shareplay it first.

The story is pretty good, it's roughly half typical AC stuff (Assassins/Templars) and half Kenway's story (Pirate lore and his family). The latter I really enjoyed, the former not so much, possibly because I don't really know anything about the AC story.

If you want to try it this weekend I can set up a shareplay session and let you try out the first hour. Add me on PSN - zeroskater18
 
Looks significantly worse, actually. Also, notice how the crowd density doubles from building to ground and the insane amount of pop-in before he hits the hay. That looks really bad.

It doesn't look worse than the Xbone footage at all...apart from poor quality footage compression. You must be tripping...

WHAHAHA, they actually said this? May I have the link so I can have a laugh?

Based on these screens, AC:U isn't even allowed to wipe Shadow of Mordor's ass in terms of visuals. It's almost sad that a cross-gen game looks significantly better than a current-gen only game that apparently has been in development for 3+ years. And I assume it will look a little better in motion, but SoM's screens look way crisper than AC:U.

Demons Souls looks quite bad but still won GOTY awards. Dark Souls looks a bit better but still not on par with the best of its peers.

Xenoblade was only 480p yet was one of the best games last gen as another example.

I'm not saying graphics don't matter but some people are definitely not as concerned about this stuff as some of us might be.

I'm being completely sincere and not at all hyperbolic when I say that I've seen SNES Mode 7 graphics that look better than this. If you disagree then you might consider going to the optician, because you are obviously very blind.

Heh.. All I can say is that the best way to tell if someone is whipping out the hyperbole is that they insist with as straight a face that they're not being hyperbolic. ;-)

This should be added to OP.

Agreed!
