I'd agree 900 isn't low-res, but every game I've played that is (900), has tons of jaggies and seems blurry. The 1080 games I've seen that also had noticeable jaggies were at least very crisp.
Also thanks re:videos. I'd like to see it in motion before I decide if I'm picking it up.

UBISOFT BULLSHOTS AGAIN !!!
UBISOFT BULLSHOTS AGAIN !!!
Reddit is the next door, thank you.
...I mean because it's a LOT worse.
Because it looks like a SNES game.
With worse lighting.

It is probably 13 days before the Digital Foundry article.
I am having the feeling that some people will find it impossible to reserve their judgement and just go out and say that Unity will be a guaranteed graphical freakshow.
GAF never fails to deliver in these kind of threads.

What a blurry mess
Edit: My friend played it today at some show in Helsinki. He said AC IV looked better and now I believe him. He played Unity on X1 and ACIV on his PS4.
I thought the blurry mess comments were hyperbole, but then I looked at the images. They are very blurry
the faces are pretty bad, but I think what you are refering too is a lighting UI effect, that blueish rim lighting going all around him. Basically a fresnel effect. Not to be confused with man suace.
Um, okay. The DF method is to give examples of places where resolution has an impact. Those areas are no less glaring when the whole screen is displayed. It's a lot easier to do that since you can compare versions side by side without having to switch between two full size screens.
The compression isn't that terrible. The blurriness is from upscaling from a lower resolution to 1080p.

My question is, why are getting "leaked" shots? Isn't the game coming out in just over a week?

And I'll be paying close attention to it for the breakdown on framerate more than anything, along with general IQ.
Broken street date seems like.

Pretty much. That article will make me decide between Inquisition or Unity.

benevolent sexism
I agree but it seems you get shot down for that opinion.
Black flag looks great compared to this to me though I admit i don't appreciate all the technical details going on.
I think it would be chalked up to the more realistic/softer lighting and larger scope. The videos showed some nice vistas. Games just had different priorities and focus.

Am I the only one that does not really have a problem with these shots??? More importantly would people be giving a shit if it was 1080p??
Imgur compression is pretty terrible.
I don't disagree, it just really puts Ubisoft in a tough spot because of the whole resolution and framerate debacle. They hyped the hell out of how good the game was going to look and it's clearly gonna come up flat (no pun intended with the seemingly lack of any shadows in a lot of areas...)

Fuck this is super disappointing, I love the AC series, and when this was first revealed.. i knew it was too good to be true. Hopefully the gameplay holds up, I dont want another AC3. I almost gave up on the series then, but Black Flag was amazing.
Isnt it double compression at that point? Ps4 screencap compression to imgur adding even more shit.
While these screens are worrying, I think we should wait til the game is out proper just to be sure. It would be very strange that this actually looks worse than Black Flag.
Hehehe. Fear the same fate for the division.
If that's how the screens were taken, yea definitely.
If it came from a capture card, then no(although capture quality might not be high in the first place, in which case, then it would add another layer of quality loss).

This reminds me of AC Revelation's lighting.
Revelations at least had a day/night cycle, this game does not.
From a technical aspect, since I know nothing, what's more taxing pre-baked or dynamic? I'm assuming dynamic.
This game doesn't have dynamic time of day?

Am I hallucinating or doesn't Unity have some form of global illumination? If so I could see some things taking a hit so that the lighting can have more depth and variation.
It doesn't? Well, shit.
Wait theres no night day cycle?
Wow. It's almost embarrassing Ubisoft said this was created solely for next-gen.

Nope, probably cause it took up 25 gigs for the current lighting alone apparently.

It does not. Similar to the first game and games like inFamous there's no dynamic day/night cycle. Unfortunately.
yeah does look more flat, and the game was presented that it would add all these cool new features and be bigger, but not at the expense of IQ. which now seems to be the case. and the shadow thing isnt exclusive to Unity. Seems we have just one source shadow, and a little bit of AO. most screens look to have the character in the main overall shadow. But wiith a lot of fill light/global illumination in the shadowed areas, so it doesnt come across as a shadowed area. game could benefit from more or stronger ambient occlusion fake shadow solultion in these areas.

According to a Kotaku article from the summer, it doesn't. Yves gaf account also said there was no day/night cycle, and that email that giantbomb received after the parity debacle mentioned pre-baked lighting.
I'm still hoping there is a day/night cycle, but right now it's looking like there isn't.
This 25 gigs thing give me an headache.

That is pretty much why I suspected they looked that bad.

I don't understand. If you're baking the lighting, wouldn't that all just be put into the color texture and be essentially "free"? The statement that they're baking lighting, and it took up 25 gigs seems incongruous to me, but I'm probably just confused.
