The IQ is worse than I thought, still impressive for a handheld and the production values are off the charts of course.

I hope we can hide in snowmen and pop out and assassinate children and their fathers.

I'd love to assassinate a father accompanied by his children and have them bemoan his death, that would put some emotions into the game.

I think the bullshots look fantastic. But what generation do we have to wait for to get actual ingame graphics that look like this? ANd for that matter, could we just pop in old games and have them look as good? It makes me mad that Ubi can get away with this and fool so many customers. Are there any screenshots available from the AC games where you can mouse-over and see that actual ingame shot? I'm curious to see how gaping the differences are.

I expect the PC version to come reasonably close. ACII was pretty good in that regard, only things that itched me were shadows and LOD.

Liberation might well be the first AssCree I buy since 2. Does it have any multiplayer nonsense?

It indeed has multiplayer nonsense.

Stallion Free · Sep 23, 2012

Eh, I expect PC to match these fairly easily. Here are some bullshots I created from PC Revelations (3 will obviously have higher quality DOF and other DX11 features on PC):

Ubisoft has outdone themselves with those Liberation bullshots. :lol

A yearly cycle of motherboards, graphics cards and CPUs, there are yearly generational cycles on the PC even manufacturers acknowledge this.

Does anybody think that there is going to be brotherhood/revelations-esque sequels for AC3? I Know that the development team said there would not, but what are the chances of UBI going back on that?

I'm hoping they decide to take a few years off after AC3, then come back next generation with a new story, protagonist, new modern day character etc. Then again they have put in a lot of effort with the new engine and it would seem a bit wasteful to have just one game use it.

Stallion Free · Sep 23, 2012

I just want them to drop the whole modern day bullshit pretense and just give us period pieces with the assassin theme. Ezio's trilogy would have been better if Desmond was just gone and dropping the modern day thing would allow us to see some dope time periods we missed feudal Japan.

Anvil Next also powers Liberation, so it's two. I wouldn't be surprised if it's powering the new Prince of Persia either. I can see Ubisoft continuing to make Revelations/Brotherhood-esque games for PS3/360/PC/Wii U while another team works on AC for PS4/720/PC.

So far only tesselation has been confirmed, I hope that other DX11 features are in.

Improved DOF is a given, the one in Revelations was so low quality it *has* to be improved.

I'm not sure how janky animation would show itself in stills ... ?

It's more the thought of everyone getting super excited about how the game looks in bullshots and then being completely deflated once they see the game in motion, that's all.

The last screen on the right (the young Connor) is interesting.

Could it be the tutorial ?

The devs did say in multiple interviews that the game would span over decades of Connor's life. Playing him as a kid and as a teenager for game elements introduction and general pre-Assassin's phase would be of no surprise.

It really does look great, I hope it ends up being a great reason to own a Vita and not a mediocre AC game.

Badass. So hyped for Liberation.

Teknoman · Sep 23, 2012

I havent seen a bad looking game from Ubi in awhile, so I know they'll both look great...but I just hope they're more challenging to play. Aside from finding all the hidden stuff, Assassin's Creed 2 was a cakewalk. Havent played the other 2, so not sure if having access to many more tools or followers helped in that aspect.

Doctor Decimate · Sep 23, 2012

even if Liberation is fantastic, one AC is more than enough. if this wasn't a yearly franchise, fine, but i think the Vita would have just been better off with a port that supports Cross-Buy; i imagine the people buying Liberation over III will be few and far between

Ubullshot. Sounds like an image editing suite, actually.

Ubi hasn't gone into detail other than to say there'll be a DX11 renderer and that the PC version has its own team. That said, tessellation is a lock, I'd wager -- I just hope it's implemented efficiently and not Crytek levels of haphazard application to the tune of "let's tessellate the shit out of concrete barriers as well as water the player under no regular circumstances will see".

Err Uncharted on Vita looks just as good as those shots minus the AA.

Tessellation is confirmed :
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/ubisoft-reconfirms-assassins-creed-3-pc-dx11-support-will-feature-higher-resolution-textures/

To be more precise, the water – during the naval sequences – will be tessellated on the PC and will sport a new feature to simulate the water’s surface, called ‘approximation of subsurface scattering.’

Soft shadows, HBAO and bokeh would be nice as well.

Well if I were able to downsample Uncharted like these AC shot sure it could look a lot closer. That's the main difference. With the lighting, polys, textures etc I don't see any reason to think that AC on Vita will not look like that (minus AA)

Goldrusher · Sep 23, 2012

These should be about 5" diagonally - Vita screen size - on the average PC monitor:

I don't blame Ubisoft for adding a little polish to the screens, so that viewing them on a PC, matches the game in motion, on a Vita.

Yeah even looking at those Uncharted shots, on my Vita they look great but on PC they look quite jaggy.

Guess they probably showed off one of the indoor platforming levels as well as a bit of free roam/naval stuff.

SSAA adds a lot to the perceived quality of that foliage. I can't wait to see the real scene from the game from that exact location. Everything looks so nice and seamless on that screen, the way everything is lit, the clothes on the character. AA aside, I find it hard to believe it can be matched, but the game in this blurry video does look pretty crazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jORWYhIImTc
