What's the point in having that on the back of the box when everything will output to 1080p?! Just seems silly to me.

When you start the game, it installs a small section then while you play it installs the rest. I'm pretty sure it would have finished installing by the time you are in Paris. Took me 10-15 mins I think.

Oh I read on Reddit that digital versions had to completely finish downloading before starting the third sequence.

My Irony detector is going off the charts!!
On Topic. This is actually the first time I'm holding off on an AC game, had every other one at launch but I've never seen so many people complaining about performance this much at launch either. I was kind of relying on this game to be good too since there isn't much else that interests me coming out this year.

I guess it's possible to output in a different resolution, 1080p is just the standard for now.
It's a PC Retail copy, so its all installed already.
The game works fine, I'm in Sequence 4 now but this mission just wont pop up on the minimap.
Maybe its a bug.
Did someone else get that
Rift
the Belle Epoque section
PS4?
I was more curious if the back of the box listing was always output or native. Now I know. Thanks all for answering my question.
My thoughts exactly. Which is why I was wondering if it was Native or Output.

Did Ubisoft instruct the composer to completely rip off the Dark Knight soundtrack for the main theme? Holy shit.

That's just what I was thinking. Where's the ability to move through crowds we had in previous games? They actually make huge crowds now and you just magically push them aside with a forcefield, it's ridiculous.

What? Damn this game sounds like a complete mess. Damn you Origin, unlock, so I can laugh at it myself.

They need to go back to the last gen engine. This one is pure dog shit.

Lot of open world jank going on, but I'm really enjoying the game so far. I kind of go against the grain on AC as AC 3 was by far my favorite of the series. Not liking the cover system too much though. I wish they had just straight added the Splinter Cell system as opposed to a halfassed one. Can we not switch corners of an object?
This is the engine they started using since AC3, the Anvil engine.
The huge crowds are amazing.
The glitches (passed a floating man not 30 min into the game) are ridiculous.
The city detail is magnificent.
The loading times suck arse.
The character models are beautiful.
The clipping and disappearing/reappearing people are horrendous.
The refined control is a breath of fresh air.
I'm still running from one view point to the next while hunting treasure chests (zzz).
Such a gorgeous, yet ugly game.
I'll still play it until the wheels fall off because hey, nothing can be as bad as AC3, and I may as well since they have my money
Besides, I'm of the few who actually gives a toss about the story.

Nothing against Troy Baker but it's nice to play a game where the main character isn't voiced by Troy Baker.

The game's director said on Major Nelson's podcast last week that this is the first AC game on their new engine. I'm not sure how much is buzz-speak but I thought that AC3, AC4, and AC Rogue were on Anvil Next and that this is a new one.

I popped it down to 720p and get 60fps. This game is seriously fun. The animations and missions are fantastic. The changing missions are very very fun. This is seriously the most fun AssCreed I've played yet. It really reminds me of what I was hoping the original AssCreed was gonna be when I first saw it previewed.
I left all settings maxed except shadows and TXAA and lowered the resolution to 720p and it's pretty much 60fps 98% of the time. Lowering the res might seem like blasphemy to some, but it is the right move for this game at least in its current state. i74770k@3.8Ghz/GTX 780/8gb/Win7. Seriously super fun. Going back in. Waiting for Mickeyknox to get it going to play the coop.

Goddamn, in one of the first missions you're infiltrating a party with hundreds of people, dressed in nice robes. Yet from the moment you step in a guard's line of sight, he just knows you're not supposed to be there. Are these guys telepathic?
I'm already starting to regret spending even 30 on this rubbish.

I think this is AnvilNext, a different branch than the AC3's.

Yeah, 720p on a monitor is an absolutely no-go. The fact that you are playing on a 780 makes it even more ridiculous. But to each his own, if you are cool with the blur, more power to you.

They made some really great design decisions in regards to Menu UI and navigation. Managing your club and various outlets is a snap.
It shows your username, because "you" are connected to Helix/Animus/Abstergo.
No need to worry, unless you're one of the many that want to change your PSN name because you thought xxXxN0OBK1LL3R4EV3RxXxx was awesome.

Nah not me, xxXxN0OBK1LL3R4EV3RxXxx still is awesome
I was more worried about what it might imply for the focus of the gameplay. Assassins Creed has always been fun to me because I've been able to play it alone, a heavy focus on making everything Co-Op friendly sounds like something I wouldn't enjoy.

Not only that but the intro to the theme is a straight jack of Ezio's Family.

Yeah, it would be wonderful if Sony could jump on that. I hate my psn name so much.
I'm not sure I have seen people playing the game online but me and 4 other friends couldn't connect to the servers for the last 3 days.
Honestly I'm getting tired of half functioning products lately. I know it's only been a few hours since the official release but games like this and Driveclub have no excuse for their online portions not running properly or not running at all.

How is it? I honestly got intrigued by the setting and charaters and their possible interactions.

Where are the reviews??
Reviews are embargoed until after release.

Someone earlier in the thread said the embargo is noon PST, which is insane. I saw people on Twitter were receiving the game from Amazon yesterday.
Reviews will be out in less than 2 hours. 5pm GMT

Speaking of weather, AC4 had amazing rain effects in the next gen port, how does Unity's rain compare?
I'm still undecided as to whether I should get this on PC or PS4. Obviously I want the better performance from the PC version but Uplay really annoys me and most of my friends are getting it for PS4 so I'll have to get it there to play with them. And remote play sounds enticing.
Does anyone have remote play impressions? Ubi games usually have the best remote play.
I'm sure you'll enjoy your tenure here on gaf.
Also I know literally one guy who has a xb1, all my friends have PS4s. Maybe he fact that the ps4 sold twice as much should clue you in on the fact that people are more likely to have friends on ps4.

I got to the start of sequence 3 last night.
Paris is gorgeously realized, amazingly detailed and the lighting is sublime
In the first 30 minutes I saw some NPCs appear from from the sky
The story, setup and character so far are the best since 2
The game has the feel of 2/B
Modern day segments will make a lot of people happy
The game is on track to be the best AC yet, but Ubi have got to fucking improve performance and fast.

Man, I totally want to play with you guys as well. I just don't know when I'll get the time to really dive in until the weekend, and I'll probably be going through the story mode first.
Worse IMO, but a lot of it is to do with how it reacts to the environment. AC4 had trees blowing, ocean waves crashing and lots of elements that very noticeably changed with the weather. Unity not so much, the ground gets muddy - and stays muddy even after the rain clears up, your boots kick dirt up - you leave footprints, but it isn't really stuff you would see unless specifically looking for it. Also wood and cloth surfaces and the like that you run on don't seem to change which is odd as rain should affect them. So ACIV wins, but mostly because it's in a position to make more out of weather.
This has the potential to become one of the best review threads.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I with you on this, AC3 is my favourite by far
If this is even close to that I'll be happy.
