yeah the model in-game was the same but the animations was not so complex like in the cutscene....now we'll see how uncharted 4 will manage the whole thing...

OH MY HEART :O <3
Shoots myself in the head </3
BTW, is tessellation released? I know Far Cry 4 is waiting for Hairwork patch which will kill every card. What are the promised features not available in Unity yet? I expect Tessellation , when enabled with all the previous features, to put your high end rigs into an ordeal lol.
tesselation is someday lol. Think they are frantically fixing other stuff atm before releasing that update :X
Still can't access customization/skills as of update 2 on pc without hard crash

If I create a custom resolution of 3200x1800 @ 30hz, disable v-sync, and cap the game at 30fps, I get a silky smooth experience with 4xmsaa. The game still feels really good at 30fps, especially when it's stutter free. For those of you having performance and stutter issues, try locking it to 30hz @ 30fps
EDIT: never mind, it still stutters...probably a VRAM limit

I can't wait for that, but I haven't seen any dates yet. Tessellation in this game is just icing on the cake, but I wonder how extensive it will be...
It's definitely going to be a performance hit, but I can't imagine it taking a chunk of 15-20fps like PhysX smoke in Black Flag does. God forbid I have to play the game at 2560x1440 @ 2xmsaa
I think Unity has better looking splashes as well. Effects for player interaction with water (outside of the boat) were surprisingly bad in Black Flag.

Yup, they didn't want to spend extra memory for the LoD models.
They most likely culled non-visible polygons with SPUs, so the cost was not as bad as one would think. (RSX never saw polygons which didn't occlude sample point in a middle of pixel.)

Yes you are right. I remember them running out of time to get multiple LOD models optimized without filling more memory that is why they kept the original model for Kratos that they used for every distance. Yes, I have a vague memory about them using SPUs like you said to overcome that problem.

Somebody should make a new thread just for AC: Unity screenshots so we can just dump everything in one place (there are also a lot of amazing shots in the PC screenshot thread).

Well wouldn't Ubi make another Assassin's Creed game next year too?

Pretty sure the team next year is going to be less ambitious so as to avoid the blowback from this release.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Chances are that the next one is already in full production for a 2015 release.
Well of course it is, though they may tone more stuff down exaclty for the reason stated above.
After this year i doubt Ubisoft is going to be graphically ambitious with their games ever again

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Hopefully the app and other stuff considering that apparently the npcs aren't the main issue for the framerate problems according to their tests.
The Division.
What i should have said is after all of there announced games are released they wont release another graphically intensive game again
They are going to keep releasing games like Far cry 4 using 2-3 year old tech and people will praise them for there optimization
Crossing Eden
Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Well they could be right now working on rebuilding everything from the ground up for the next AC that will inevitably come out in 2017 while simultaneously reusing assets for the development of AC 2015. Seems like this series has trilogies before moving on to the next stage. I could be wrong though it remains to be seen. And ACU's tech is quite frankly a bit ahead of it's time for all the things that are happening at once. We can only go up from here.

I really wish they had included an option in the game to reduce NPC count to boost performance. I really don't care anything about having a ton of NPCs on the screen. It can be impressive sometimes, but in the end, I'd rather have a higher framerate.
Agreed. I was thinking about ubisoft going forward and some people here speculating about ubisoft not pushing graphics anymore after this. They propably will want to get people excited with graphics in the future too 'cause that seems pretty easy to do, so I think they will continue to push graphics but they obviously have make a compromise if they don't want another debacle about bad performance so I think the easiest way would be to just accept that thousands of NPCs on the screen at the same time is not a killer feature and just dial that down.

Didn't the guy who modded Watch Dogs also find a way to increase or decrease civilian density? Wonder how that can be done in Unity through modding.

Yep, they must have been playing on pentium 4.
These jokers are present in this thread and will defend that game to their deaths.. fair enough as visuals can be subjective......... but I have a hard time wrapping my head around that idea. AC:U is stunning in all aspects... Black Flag looks like just another game.

I haven't played the game, but looking over those images in the OP it still jumps out to me that Altair's outfit is my favourite in the series so far.
It's a great outfit, although I would have to say that the updated version of it looks even better. The black version of it, you get it from the Nostradamus quests.

This is my personal favourite shot in the game.
I really love the tech and attention to detail nearly everywhere in an open world game, I'm not even mad about the performance because what it's pushing is just impressive as fuck imo.

People underestimate how much of a difference IQ can make.
A perfectly sharp image with no jaggies can make even older games look amazing. Unfortunately this usually requires supersampling or downsampling, which is very demanding.
Makes me wish games were still DX9, you could force 4xSGSSAA and get almost perfect image quality at a reasonable performance hit.
But these days most devs just slap some post-AA on and call it a day.

wow...that's actually a fairly large difference in IQ. I was not expecting the PS4 version to be so blurry by comparison....
Yeah, the console version seems to be missing some fine detail on the wall, but it still looks great. Wish it was 1080p though
Crysis 3 used it.
Ryse has bonkers eye simulation. Two last slides here.

Wow. I just got an email from Allegorithmic telling me to check that AC Unity used Substance. No wonder the game looks cool: https://www.facebook.com/AllegorithmicSubstance/posts/803476943048232

I hope it is set in Ancient China or Feudal Japan. Those settings with this engine (especially improved) would be simply stunning.
That would be sad. If developers cave to this attitude that a game is "poorly optimized" just because it is demanding, with no consideration to what the game is doing from a technical standpoint, we all lose.
Assassin's Creed Unity's performance is in line with what it is doing graphically and from an overall technical point of view. It runs well, in my opinion, considering how good it looks. There are quite a few games I could mention that aren't too different performance-wise, but are much less graphically advanced than AC: Unity.

This is what I want more than anything. Please bring on China Ubi.
I'd say Unity has some nice looking water too. I especially like this area.
I want to swish my hand around in it.
It's going to be forever before I can play this on my PC.

That's some difference. Crap PC looks great. I still like my pic on top though : )

water is always so flat and useless in all assassin creed games. Only in watch dogs is decent...
