The blur is likely from the AA method. IMO some blur is worth the elimination of shimmering in motion (as in Ryse, or with txaa)

This thread just keeps on delivering

Eh. Whatever you guys say I guess. Just judging the SCREENSHOT, not considering the SCOPE of the gameplay area, it is not that crazy of a statement. The limited texture-resolution, the lack of self-shadowing, ...

(his foot clips through the railing) Sorry, couldn't resist.

Between this and the foot clipping through the railing I'm dying here. Tries to exit on a goodnote, shows a bullshot clip with a fail in it.

Wouldn't normally bother me, but it's a cutscene, how do you mess that up?

edit: did someone update that gif or something?

Redesigning assets after the animation was validated. Update the engine and there.

to me it looks like both feet go up and over the railing really quick, hard to tell though without frame by framing. but id bet no clipping

edit: well nevermind, knee looks to clip through.

still a minor nitpick.

 

[Goldrusher]

Zoom in on the lower portion and clearly watch his entire foot clip through the railing.

--> right leg clipping

--> right leg clipping

I'm pretty sure Yves ninja edited that gif. I exploded it before and his foot did not clip through. But now it snaps up in a very unnatural way. Oh well.

 

[Jedi2016]

Dat next-gen. Um... I guess. I can't really see it.

 

[TGO]

.

I'm not seeing this clipping.

Well, to be honest, we don't know where the sun is in relation to the character. If the sun is setting and is behind some buildings then the character wouldn't really cast a shadow. I guess it all depends on how good their lighting really is.

Maybe this will help.

Leaked screen from the cancelled PS3 version for comparison?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

If you're on the mobile site on your phone you can make it 60fps.

Preorder = cancelled

 

[mugurumakensei]

I don't think you have played the game...Sure there was LoD like in any game, but draw distance was consistently impressive, and fog was there based on ToD. It looked good in the early morning vistas.

You could always view my trophylist. PSN id is yammyriyalgo.

 

[Randam]

anybody found a shadow yet?

 

[ironcreed]

This looks like me bailing out of this thread.

Indeed. Nobody is going to give two shits that his right leg barely clips in that scene. Most will not even notice.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Yes.

It's

here

 

[cormack12]

They're all in Mordor.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Fair enough. I don't agree with you.

On the other hand, I think this game would be very impressive...if it has decent IQ. Bad IQ could kill texture detail which will make it substantially less impressive than it could be otherwise.

 

[SJRB]

Indeed. Nobody is going to give two shits that his right leg barely clips in that scene. Most will not even notice.

Fucking NOBODY would notice that if it wasn't looped into a 2-second gif.

This is getting kind of silly.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

anybody found a shadow yet?

Yes, look back at the OP's screen shots. The game does seem to use a much more realistic lighting model. Not saying the overall game looks good visually, it doesn't, but the lighting definitely seems spot on.

 

[VICTORsaurio]

The difference his huge! See how obvious it is, when I make a before/after gif that's totally zoomed in and blown up?

The difference is there, the difference is undeniable. But it's closer to subtle than huge.

DAT 1080p ass.

 

[Piggus]

They're all in Mordor.

hehe

 

[GreyWind]

This reminds me of AC Revelation's lighting.

 

[LOLCats]

Maybe this will help.

nubs, love me some nubs

 

[Wind's Howling]

No, you need to get your eyes checked if you think that. Did you play the ps3 version of Black Flag or something because the PS4 version looked fantastic. This game looks like vaseline smeared shit.

Have you played the game? Please. Tell us how it plays because you are clearly not judging this based on a few screenshots.

Your Unity post bashing is not doing you any favours.

 

[Ken Masters]

Blurry timeeeee

Oh lord...

Holy shit at those faces

 

[Piggus]

The pic isn't zoomed in. It's just isolating that one spot... The difference is just as obvious without cropping the image.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

From the screens, it really doesn't look that far removed from a PS3/X360 game. GTA5, Last of Us, and a few other games come to mind.

 

[Business]

Maybe I forgot how last gen looked but I'd swear not much worse than that.

 

[eot]

Fucking NOBODY would notice that if it wasn't looped into a 2-second gif.

This is getting kind of silly.

No one is actually upset about the clipping.

 

[NullPointer]

I don't know what to glean from screenshots alone when it comes to current gen games - they all tend to look so much better in motion. So I'm assuming a good amount is lost and flattened out in these shots. That and games with dynamic lighting tend to have really nice shots and really horrible shots for the same content depending upon the lighting conditions.

 

[julesodies]

Is the blurriness cause of the low res or the use of FXAA filtering?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

very historical looking

Shadows are futuristic,

 

[Jonm1010]

Compressed videos and screenshots of the game? With the videos that look even more compressed uploaded with facebook looking better than the game does in screenshots.

Lets get something on record here

1.) Do you deny that Ubisoft has downgraded the game that they told consumers was real-time when it was released and later shown in gameplay form at E3?

2.) You are aware Ubisoft has admitted to seeking parity with the title?

So why the constant damage control and water carrying? Regardless of whether these screens may not represent the full graphical fidelity of the game at release are you not at a minimum fed up with institutional deception that Ubisoft employs when marketing their games? Or more applicable the forced parity that is by its design holding back one version of the game?

 

[ironcreed]

Yeah, I am going to be too busy playing the game. Not pressing my face against the screen, counting every pixel and analyzing each frame with a fine tooth comb. It looks fun, it has great characters and a wonderful environment that looks gorgeous in all of the actual gameplay footage. That is all I care about, personally.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Rumor is the day one update is a refund.

 

[EightBitNate]

Is the blurriness cause of the low res or the use of FXAA filtering?

900p is hardly "low-res"

I'm curious how compressed these screens are.

 

[rbanke]

Were the videos in the OP taken down or does it require facebook to see them?

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

So much hyperbole.

 

[R3TRO]

Looks good.

 

[EightBitNate]

Were the videos in the OP taken down or does it require facebook to see them?

Looks like they were taken down.

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

Looks like its been rendered at a lower resolution, I play on a laptop, and sometimes im forced to play at 1024 and add some AA, and it usually looks as blurry as that...

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

They should add black outlines to everyone, then say they were going for The Last Express look:

haha, that would be amazing. day one purchase if they did this.

 

[Shaunboy97]

Fucking NOBODY would notice that if it wasn't looped into a 2-second gif.

Absolutely... These devs didn't bust their A for a few years just to have people rip it apart. It's pretty sad. I for one am buying the hell out of this game

 

[Muffdraul]

I already addressed that. And if it was already that obvious without cropping then DF wouldn't have wasted their time cropping it.

 

[twobear]

Yeah, you forgot.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

damn, we were having so much fun too. Ubisoft ruins everything.

 

[impact]

Holy shit at those faces

it's like he jerked off directly up and then smeared it all around his beard

 

[Business]

Yeah, you forgot.
