Oh, now this is ironic because I remember you, OP, before the launch of Infamous:SS...you constantly berated the game and claimed it was downgraded in what seemed like most Infamous:SS articles over at N4G. You even cherry-picked off-screen, heavily compressed, shrunk down shots to try and prove that the downgrade had occurred.

So I'm wondering why you're so hell-bent on this defending this game against claims of it being downgraded, when it clearly has been, when you were more than happy to bash Infamous every chance you got?
pathetic.

Nobody should care about crossing Eden threads regarding ubisoft. Clearly has a vested work related interest in their products selling. directly or not.

How the Amazon guy gets banned yet this guy is still here creating a shitstorm in every ubi thread is beyond me.

What's up with the life story? How is that relevant?

Game looks like ass, stop excusing for Ubisoft, they deserve all the backlash they got/get/will get for the bullshit they have continually been spewing, sadly the game won't bomb though.

Imho he was truly emotionally affected by how this escalated yesterday and how here and all over the internet people were only talking about pixels, AA and technical problems while he was happy to share his experience on a french forum and enjoying the game.
I don't think he wants to fight with you about the bluriness of the game or anything.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
You sure it's because of that, and not because I proved you wrong with my own screenshots via PM?
I remember you showing me this screenshot.
infamous-second-son-screenshot-glorious-screen-2.jpg
after the leaked gameplay that didn't do the game's visuals any favor came out. You should also recall me saying to the devs, "Just saw the first twenty minutes of Infamous SS, if the game keeps up that momentum throughout the entire game then it'll be a goty nominee." and also being irate on twitter when the download wasn't up until like 4am. And beating the game in one day.

People get that Crossing Eden's tag is a joke right? Like no one seriously thinks a Ubisoft insider (with little inside information ever) would be this heavily associated with gathering coverage from forums in disguise?

No, we really think he's Yves and not a run-of-the-mill fanboy who wields a sword and shield for a video game company.
 
You know you can change them? Also no matter how many copys you make it'll carry that metadata with it even after compression?
Whilst true... why would they go to the effort of faking the meta data when all they were doing were sharing the love of AC with the world, not at all foreseeing this 'episode', and why would they want it to seem like they were properly exported images by faking the meta only to then say they were just bog-standard shared images and not properly exported?
 
And fucking LOL at that latest wall of text, damage control-a-ton from this guy. Why do we need to know his life story? Why does he need to spew that "c'mon guys, let's just enjoy the game, visuals aren't everything!" garbage?

We know that games can still be fun without them looking amazing. But that's not the issue here. We were shown the game months ago, and it looked amazing...now we have seen the game again, and it doesn't look as amazing. That's the issue here. Ubisoft continuously lies to our faces.

I never understood why the Amazon guy got got. He was clearly marked as such, and he's going to try and sell stuff. He's fine on CAG and other places, why here?

This thread is like a roller coaster.

From Eden being Eden to Marcel pulling his condescending bullshit again, it's the worst roller coaster in history

Also...I have no idea why that guy posted his whole history. Maybe to vent? This will likely be the biggest audience he'll have in a while.

It's funny cause I earned this title with the ACU hype thread. It's good when people joke about it like calling me yves and stuff like but a bit irritating when people go like "never listen to him, he's just a ubi fanboy/he works for ubisoft/conspiracy. I've stated many times on the forum where i'm actually from and what college I go to and what I do on a daily basis. At this point I think it would be best to just ask a mod to change my title so that it stops derailing this thread.

If I had a vested interest in Ubisoft products selling then I would be hyped for the crew, which I am not, it's not a fun game. I would also be planning on buying far cry 4 day one, which i'm not. In fact, the only Ubi products i've bought this year are Child of Light and WD. The company's success is not a priority for me in anyway shape or form. Sorry to disappoint.

I guess we're supposed to be touched that his parents bought him consoles his whole life, or that he worked in a McDonalds. The music should swell when he goes into his final amazing apology for Ubisoft's nonsense.

Well yes Ubisoft LIED on screenshots posted and published videos so far and it does not hesitate to criticize them. And the big point is the low quality textures in the distance.

Isnt that the whole issue. And isn't it sad that's the buzz when if they didn't lie and treat their customers and fans like idiots, people would probably be focusing on the positives?

There's a lesson here. Hopefully Ubi is listening. Stop with the blatent disrespect your marketing department is throwing out at your consumers and let your games speak for themselves.

Its amazing how many people dont understand this. Its not just about pixels its about Ubi blatantly lying about all of their flagship titles.

He already said in his previous post that Ubisoft lied and that this doesn't look as good as the E3 footage.

They can't hear you over the sound of cash registers. They had a record year. They're not changing shit.

You willingly sent sensitive information to someone who doesn't give a shit about you. Oops.

I'm free to release it as it was sent to me.

Haha, oh man. Reading through this thread I finally found the first person I'll put on my ignore list. Congrats - biggest idiot I've seen all week.

Didn't Fable Anniversary on pc have a similar blur problem?
It seemed to be screwed up radial blur (and DoF), since turning that off helped relieve the problem.

Thats my point. You have people thinking this is just about 900p. The issue is Ubi fucking lying on a constant basis about their titles. I love their games but god just be at least halfway truthful. I really hope this new vid coming looks awesome and those screens were just a poor representation.

It's ironic how in the 'one image that summarizes modern gaming' people acted like developers only care about graphics and not substance. And now people are skipping this game because of seemingly subpar IQ and stuffs.

No, I sent you this screenshot:

After you previously used these "comparisons" in one of your comments:

No in the comments I remember you specifically sending me the screenshot that I posted. And double checking my pms on n4g you sent me this gameplay.

Downgrade? What downgrade?

That looks amazing....................wow .

And I remember also not being able to respond since you blocked me.
Quite frankly this is all semantics and I already said that I regret doing it so it's quite irrelevant to the thread in all honesty.

Well those aren't Facebook uploads, who said they was?
Btw I just been looking at my Watch_Dogs captures, exactly the same.
But Watch_Dogs looks better in motion, perhaps ACU is the same? it definitely has the same fuzzy look to it.
Uhhhh.

He wasn't using the USB method. The USB method looks much better than the direct upload method. Come on now, that was established months ago.

Well, if AC games had a great narrative or didn't recycle the same gameplay every year, I'd agree. This is AC, which doesn't have much outside of spectacle.

Yup. Which means gamers as consumers should be louder then ever. Otherwise it will get worse.

Just as we now have exclusive DLC content within DLC packages. Consumers need to speak up, even more so when these companies are making bank.

it's not irrelevant if you can't make the same allowances to posters who are shitting on how this game looks, which you obviously can't as evidenced by this thread's creation. it clearly demonstrates your hypocrisy and bias, and your words and defense have little weight.

The worst part is I'm a part of the problem. As much as Ubi pisses me off I love their games. Ugh
 
It wouldn't surprise me Ubi PR was behind this to be honest.

I hope you are joking because if you are not, you do know that the game is releasing to the masses in 10 - 11 days, reviewers will review it and DF will take apart the game piece by piece so that everyone can decide to get the game or not so, what's the problem with people waiting? I'm in the boat of lets wait and see when the game is out. People who have the game are reporting that it looks better than the screenshots posted and i'd be inclined to believe them for now because they OWN the game however, soon everybody will get to read about the game from everybody and not just a few people.

I don't condone the lying of UBI though. Hopefully next time they will shut the fuck up about their games so that then only their game footages are available for people to come at with their own judgement's and nothing else.
