Shadow of Mordor is damn impressive, too.
Cloth physics and rain is the measurement of next gen.
Off topic:
Holy shit that's Shadow of Mordor? I'm going to get that game tomorrow. I had no idea it looked so damn good. I haven't followed it at all.
On topic:
Dat pop in. And from everything I've seen AC4 still looks better...but I honestly won't know until I see a full HD video of AC:U.
You forgot screen tearing too.

I knew the game would not look as bad as the leaked screenshots and this confirms it.
This looks really good to me. Since there is a Day 1 patch, I think the game will look pretty good.
I have been reading/hearing about large crowds and all, and of all the things that Unity is promising to deliver, it was the last thing I was excited about. Now I am looking forward to raising hell in the middle of a large crowd.

He specifies image quality.
Uploading via the Share function means 720p videos IIRC. The video itself is 720p.

The french version is really the definitive way to play. The crowds are impressive. I can't stand the gameplay in these games though.. (the combat and how they stick to ledges)

Yup, it's great. Hope you enjoy.

The way the player can climb buildings is just ridiculous.. it's strange, they make this really immersive (visually) game world, but then they make it seem like you are some superhero or alien with superpowers. It totally makes you stand out from the 'scene'.
And then there's all the futuristic stuff...

Was thinking the same thing. Wish there was an option for English subs and just French voices.

There is.

SoM is really inconsistent in that sense.
Cloth and lighting (depending on the tod) are great, humans look like creepy puppets, environments have nice textures, but really bad geometries and level design.
Also everything fucking looks the same, in a map that is painfully small, to boot.
From behind Talion, specially the ranger skin, is really great looking, though.
Feels more like a tech demo for the Nemesis system, than a full game.

I played a lot of Watch Dogs, that is not the same animation.

You can run once again around and upgrade shops in Unity.

That's obvious. I'm just saying it's much more natural. And I was hoping there is a way to subtitle the game in english but also have french dialogue.

Lol google "watch dogs running animation". First hit is "Why is Aiden running like he's in Assassin's Creed?"

I think "You can play in French with English subtitles" needs to be the OT subtitle for this game.

Looks nice. Pop in in definitely noticeable in video but that may change during normal play even without improvements. Been playing Sunset Overdrive which has some pop in but during typical play with eyes on the center of the screen its hardly noticeable.
The crowds look impressive and I know its been a big talking point regarding the game but I hope they do more with it than this dense wading. Haven't followed this much so I don't know if they've talked other uses of such numerous NPCs.

I don't really get this critique. You have people who parkour just like this in real life. You also have clips out there of people climbing above a "normal" persons ability. Of course they stretch it in order to make a fun video game. I mean this is a video game and not a life simulator after all.

Why is it so fucking bright in this game?

Yup, the english version is laughably immersion breaking when they characters are pronouncing names and place in british accents.
The sun is out.

They've clearly made some really bad initial dev choices and now don't have the engine to make it a reality.
Or to be clearer, an Ubisoft game.

France must be a desert now I guess because the Sun was never that bright in Black Flag.

I can confirm that's definitely an Assassins Creed game.

It really should. With their talk of including last-known-position, redoing stealth and making straight up combat more difficult I thought they would learn a lesson from how Splinter Cell Blacklist balanced stealth vs guns blazing. In Blacklist bullets hurt, and you really couldn't shrug off damage. That kept combat very quick and very deadly, and thus provided stealth with a natural incentive, all while being, well, really intuitive.
To see the guards here getting stabbed in the back so many times - its so gamey, and not in the good way. I'll want to stealth just to avoid dealing with what looks like very clumsy combat, not because of a sense of danger.
Hmm... I see virtual historical assassins, but I have seen no creed. Then again, I don't know how many games its been since the actual creed of the Assassins has meant anything.
Black Flag and Unity don't share the same lighting tech. Also...it doesn't look that bright outside of that bloom games use to transition from inside to outside.

There's quite a lot of customization actually.

Yep.. im in the middle of my black flag playthrough, its on pace to be the best ac game but for sime reason im finding it hard to push through the game. im close to entirely quitting the game and not coming back to it..
My hype for this game died too. As much as i like paris this game has that been there done that feel to me. I wish ubi would be brave enough to make an AC game where majority of characters are from the non white nations. A drastic change in cultural setting would probably refresh my interest in the series.

Man...watching this gameplay footage just really reenforces why I don't want to buy this game. It's just so familiar and tired to me at this point. The same damn tactics and trips that have been in the series for years at this point, just with a different coat of paint on it.
My complaints with this game really have nothing to do with graphics. I can care less if it really ended up being one of the best looking games ever made. After playing through the entirety of AC4, and doing a lot of side stuff, I just felt exhausted...very rarely have I played a game so much, and felt so unfulfilled by it as the Assassin's Creed series has done to me. I acknowledge that the last game made me feel compelled to play it for hours and hours, but I feel like it was more of an addictive tendency than me actually having any kind of fun with it.
This game really looks like exactly more of the same of that.

Dat pop in...
Also, what's up with the combat? I never expected good combat from AssCreed, but I think this time it looks even worse than in past iterations.
Dat lighting, though.
