Leaked AC Unity gameplay videos up in the wild (edit: re-uploaded)

I can see it just fine in the compressed to hell and back gameplay footage. Even then, I can tell that it is going to look gorgeous on my screen.

Seriously, the way some of you describe it, it's as if the game looks like this:

pixel540.ashx
No, it just looks like this:

Which is terrible by any reasonable standard.

Please, you can't deny the blurriness.

This entire thread proves that the actual game looks better than those screenshots, even in a 720p video.
What does it prove about the image quality being any better except some people may be overgenerous when mentally compensating for the video compression?

That's what it looks like with everything toggled. And each game since AC3 has had 3-4 years of dev time. This game is rebuilt and not reusing assets from previous games like the ezio trilogy or kenway trilogy, it's basically like how AC3 was the "base" for AC4 and Rogue. This is now a new base for sequels until they decide to rebuild everything again.

It may still be a new base with a 3-4 year dev time but that still doesn't change it's annual release cycle. How can you materially change any IP if it comes out every year?

The fact that it does means there is an almost factory line dependancy of the product being the same, as "this is what people want". Regardless of the dev time it can't change if the series is still an annual release.

And for a new base, it's still not different enough from anything else post AC2.

Yes, I have seen those and I have also seen it in motion. The game is easily going to be the best looking AC yet and I can't wait.

Again, sorry it's not doing it for you. But many of us are still excited. Perhaps the eventual next-gen versions of Rogue or maybe even the next entry will be more to your standards. Regardless, I am done arguing with people who clearly have no interest in the game at this point.

That the capture on gamersyde at a lower resolution doesn't look as blurry as those screenshots. Considering that the game will undoubtedly look better on my tv, i'm perfectly fine with this. Shame that you aren't. But to say "you can't appreciate the visuals at all" is definite hyperbole.

Well going from a pirate simulator the Caribbean to 18th century French is a good start. And I don't think you understand the amount of work that went into the game. If you were to play Unity and then go back and play AC2 it would be a night and day difference.

The SHARE video uploaded to Gamersyde looks objectively blurrier, even in motion. It looks MUCH blurrier than the SHARE screenshots.

If the video in the OP is the blurry version of the quality I can expect i'll be completely satisfied. As will many others if this thread is anything to go by. If it's not enough for you, just play it on pc.

There's literally no way you can ascertain that in a 720p video. Because it's a 720p video. Factually, objectively, you cannot determine that.
Think we need a direct capture using a capture card then uploaded directly to gamersyde to determine then. I'm completely satisfied by the game's visuals, and the kept promise of crowds with the gameplay.

I'm buying the game from the US PSN Store. Can I adjust the settings so everyone speaks french and that I get english subs for pretty much all that is said?

Thanks!

Well, you've pretty much admitted that you have no quality standards whatsoever. Unless it's inFAMOUS Second Son you're looking at.
 
Seeing people on this thread trying so hard to shit on the game is rather amusing. I mean, it's clear they have no intentions to buy it, yet they keep coming here to talk shit.

Yes, the game is not perfect, and I've expressed my disconformities with it, but people here are taking it to another level.

So because I'm not analyzing every single pixel of the screen, and won't be doing so while actively playing the game I have no standards whatsoever. Your elitism is appalling.

"Game looks good here"

"Nah it sucks there in that screenshot"

Everything has been said more than 10 times by now in every AC related thread. I dont understand the arguments. Its starting to get boring now.

I wish there was just one thread discussing about what is in the game based on leaked videos (like there are threads for every other game that is about to come out) instead of making every thread about how good or bad it looks based on f'n leaked shitty screen captures.

If you think it sucks, then dont buy the game. If you are on the fence then just wait for the reviews/DF analysis.

Before anyone points it out, I know its a forum and people discuss things here. But this has already been discussed (and argued over) to death in multiple threads since the last 2 days now.

You don't need to analyze pixels to see how blurry this game looks and your lack of standards:

How does that make any sense whatsoever?

It's a shame because for about an hour people were actually discussing gameplay. And when we've had multiple leakers as well as another gaffer say that the screenshots are not as good looking as the actual game it's just repetitive to keep bringing up the exact same screenshots over and over. I'll take the word of people who're actually playing the game over people who don't like the series or even the company in the first place.

Still scratching my head at how ACIV is 'virtually the same' as AC1, beyond sharing some central core mechanics. But that's how sequels work. If you don't like those core mechanics, stop buying the game.

Yeah, I haven't played an AC since Revelations, but I assume if i pick up this one after skipping three or so titles, I'll notice enough differences where it wouldn't feel like a yearly release, but instead a typical videogame sequel. Most importantly, I wouldn't have played a AC every year for the passed two or three years, so I won't be as burned out.

And now we're back to trying to discredit the screenshots when they're far more reliable than someone's opinion.

aren't you literally the guy who said "well yes Ubisoft LIED on screenshots posted and published videos so far" idk how you can keep defending that. like if this game turns out to be fun I'll get it but goddamn ubisoft is the worst when it comes to graphical fidelity and lying about it.

Oh yea I forgot. Also remember not to take anything I say seriously either because I work for Ubisoft and have an agenda for their games to sell well. :p

That's what one of the leakers said, not me. And technically if the pc version looks just like e3 then they didn't lie. Ofc I play mostly on console so I would't know. Although the "targeting xb1 specs" part could be considered a lie.
 
I'll wait for the DF analysis but it looks fine in motion, wonder why those screens were looking so bad. The pop-in can be kind of annoying but the scale is huge & parkour seems a lot smoother.
 
Guys at this point we're not going to win and let's just face reality. Ubisoft will continue to make games that sell up the wazoo. They'll continue to have early demonstrations of the game that looks way better than the final product. And I'll continue to play them because graphics aside I enjoy playing them. I just won't expect much in the graphical department from them anymore. The game itself looks better than previous AC game, IQ aside, so fuck it. That's as good as it is gonna get so might as well enjoy the title itself. Though I'm way harsher with AC than with other titles when I play them. We'll see if I get bored with it. Sneak mechanics are a welcome change and the story looks like it might be up my alley.
 
I realize that pixel counting is serious fucking business, but tone the vitriol down just a bit, people.

I suggest waiting for the final product before crying deception, and then fighting over it.

Yeah I was down to debate this Unity stuff up until last night / today. Its become far too many personal attacks of users bashing each other and its clouding most of the real debate. Luckily we all have less than 2 weeks before we can all see for ourselves what the game will really look like.

People with eyes? No need to feel sorry for us, as we are able to better avoid games that apparently didn't get their priorities straight. "Thousands of NPCs on screen at once...that will magically appear 30 yards in front of you, wearing different clothes than when you're right next to them." Great job, Ubisoft.
I agree. Not buying until some kind of patch is announced. Is it even possible to fix stuff like that at this stage?
Also, Ubisoft please bump that resolution for PS4 like you did for Black Flag.

woah, the night time looks awesome. They both look great though. I cannot fucking wait for this game

I never got into any of the AC games, I played Black Flag, but was not engrossed in it, but the more I see of this game, the more I am interested in it. Hopefully when the OT goes up we will be able to talk about the game versus what is happening in this thread, especially by those that swore off of it, yet they are posting in every other page in this thread to shit on it, even those that have NO INTEREST and have expressed NO INTEREST, yet they still are posting the hatred for it.

Congratulations. You posted a compressed screenshot from shitty Youtube footage.

Do you think you actually prove anything?

If there ever was a time that Gamersyde should have direct feed footage it is now for this game. With all those blurry screen shots and stuff, this game needs a proper video put on-line showing actual real time gameplay and there is no one better than Blim & Team Gamersyde.

Yes it does, congratulations on linking another screenshot.

> But mah pop-in

Yeah it's awful, I agree, but it doesn't look like that screen shot.

Even then this video isn't true quality, but looks better than the screengrab you decided to link of it.

Hating on this game is a 24/7 job, this guy has been shittig on these threads non stop, I go play Bayo 2 for a while, grab lunch, go do some errands and when I come back he's still there with a bunch of posts saying the same thing over and over, lol.

There's filters and an embargo so they can't put it on their sight, only trailers and "official" videos.

Joke's on you. I made this screencap myself from the exact same video.

I posted this screencap just because Eden said even in the 720p video it looks better when it clearly does not but yeah i'm done guys, you know my viewpoint by now and i'm getting tired of repeating myself. I'm not hating on everything. I said countless of times that i think Arno's animations and the scale are amazing, they really are but everything else eeeeh not so much. Anyway have a nice day.

Holy shit. That map.. Haha. I genuinely laughed at all the icons on there. That is one huge clusterfuck. I hope you can turn that off.
You can filter out which map icons you want when you are on the paused map in the previous entries.

How about a PC game from 25 years ago?



There is just so much more they could be doing.

Come on. That's not even a 3D comparison. And it sure as heck doesn't have the fluidity of Assassin's Creed. Pick something of similar visual complexity.
