sucks for those who were hyped for this game. Hopefully it comes out looking better.

I think we have every right to be considering we spent hundreds on next gen console and have been flat out LIED to.

There were many people here that thought that might happen around the time the delay was announced. Unfortunately they were right or at the very least half-right.

Lied to? In the original reveal, gaffers were pointing out that it was running on a 680 - far outclassing the upcoming consoles.
You'd have to spend hundreds more to have a powerful PC.
Agreed!

I hope so many people ask about the graphics that they are forced to acknowledge that comparison gif
looks better than that in my PC, haven't played console ver.

The problem is that the game won't look like the initial reveal even for those with a powerful PC if Far Cry 3 is anything to go by.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with the fact that the trailer looks poor, but you really do need to have the final product in hand before you can definitively say the game looks terrible. Maybe the final build does look better? Maybe the recent trailers were old builds?
You never know. Maybe the final game looks just as bad, but you can't jump to conclusions.

Lol thanks...but wow seriously? I loved outlasts graphics. Obviously not the greatest looking game on the planet but I would never use the word "crappy" when describing it. She seems kind of clueless IMO
I thought he was always a bit too brutal. Even in the reveal gameplay he executes an unarmed man (let alone killing civilians by hacking the traffic lights). That's not batman, that's punisher
There are at least two people on this thread who are insistent that the game does not look any worse than it did in the reveal, just saying.

Yes lied to. The latest reveal doesn't even come close to matching any trailers they put out for "next gen" versions, I don't care what hardware it was running on it was outright dishonest.

Yeah. Especially when the PR rep is smokin' hot.

Uh... careful there.
If she appears clueless, it's likely because there was no PR strategy or word from the higher-ups on how to handle a controversy like this. She's doing the best she can in a bad situation with likely no good guidance from Ubisoft.
Edit: It doesn't make the Outlast comment any more necessary, though. It's not a good thing for a PR person to say anyway you slice it.
If I remember it right the first image is from a cutscene from the reveal video. The cutscene had higher quality assets even back then compared to ingame.From this
To this?

The sad part is some aspects of that footage are better looking than what the final game will be (ex: AA)
I don't think of the cause of the downgrade is 1080p... it's not 1080p on both.
Maybe that's why they had to delay after GTA V came out, they couldn't even match GTA IV quality, :lol

Not to mention that Outlast had a smaller budget and dev team than Watch_Dogs! I bet if you gave them the resources UBI gave the Watch_Dogs team, it would look a shit ton better! (Not saying it looks bad, cuz it doesn't!)
nothing like shenmue, basically GTA...
No, don't cry. It's still a really good game.
I can't wait to read further input from you on this forum

I hope people are ready for exactly the same story to happen with The Division.
OK, that makes sense why they would cut back a little. Kind of sucks the new design looks like some mercenary as opposed to a nerdy hacker.
LOL thought the same thing.

I'm glad the hate train is going strong. I wasn't able to sleep last night. I woke up sweaty and gasping for breath as I remembered the difference in how the cars look. The blurry texture. The bad concrete sidewalks.
NO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm kidding but game still looks like bad graphics wise

Totally agree! It's straight up hilarious she went there with outlast, an indie game which was made by a team of what...30 or 40 people if I recall correctly lol? Crazy

Yeah, what a way to start out, doing the same thing people with thousands of posts do

Dude, chill. He's probably just trying to keep you from getting banned.

Why don't they just put a PR guy on their Twitch stream and run some gameplay so people can see for themselves? Like, in a week's time or whatever, prepare a demo segment and run it.
I admit, got a chuckle out of me.
Honestly though, even if the graphics did get downgraded which I admit sucks, if the game turns out to be fun who cares? Titanfall has some really bad textures, but the games enjoyable and I can get over those textures.
So that's as much of an official confirmation on a radical downgrade as we can dream of.
i can already see the brutality of the comments, I hope the devs are prepared
If this happens with Division then there would be no "they didn't know next-gen specs" excuses.
This kind of marketing technique needs to die already, I don't even think the games looks bad (apart from that gif and some spots) but they set people up for disappointment and mislead them.
Show the game when it's ready to be shown and it's representative of the final product, not an hard concept to grasp. And, if some things change down the line, just be upfront about it.
