Looks incredible, so excited to play this (am saving it for my XB1X), haven't played an AC since I tried Unity, so great to have the Black Flag team at the helm for this, hope the extra time was used well :)

It looks good to me. I feel like people were expecting the PS4 version to be significantly worse looking based on X1X marketing deal.

that would never happen... Ubisoft aren't going to cut themselves off from a market of potentially 80m PS4 users.. they'll be some parity between systems, but I expect the xbox one x version to have a more consistent frame rate, better textures, and some other bells and whistles..

How is the exploration and combat system?
Does it have a feel of Horizon Zero Dawn/W3 to it?
How you finding the story so far?
Click to expand...

Combat system is best described as 'clunky souls', but it's satisfying. Exploration is very nice and rewarding.

It most definitely has, exploration, vistas etc.

Too early to tell, the beginning is a bit rushed and right now I'm exploring.

Quests/ side quests... More like the Witcher 3 or just your usual AC busywork?

Busywork.

Average? I've had games that made my PS4 go louder than this.

That desert footage looked sweet. Been a while since I played an AC game. Might jump on it eventually, but I'm afraid of the Ubisoft Busywork™.

Honestly not surprised about "busywork sidequests". I certainly didn't expect W3 level of writing.

Also I don't mind some sq being busywork as long as it's not 95% of them.

Could you elaborate on the clunkyness? Is it animations,responsiveness to pushing buttons?Maybe it's similar to the problems W3 had with controls/combat?

Too many games in backlog to get this at launch but this is first AC I’m interested in getting since before we found out AC3 sucked. Hopefully reviews are good and I can give this a spin eventually. Love the setting.

Does it run in 1080p at least?

Ugh I hate that Microsoft paid so much money for the marketing rights. I could get the game on default PS4 tomorrow but who knows how that'll run.

It's both, some animations can look stiff and button responsiveness isn't consistent, one time you may find yourself pressing R1 3 times for a combo, but not always Bayek will execute 3 attacks, you wanna do 2 lights 1 heavy? Sure, press R1 twice and then R2, sometimes he'll do it, sometimes he won't follow-up with the heavy after 2 light attacks... so more often than not you're better off constantly mashing to be absolutely sure he's gonna do it.

Similarly with dodge, also spotty, sometimes he's gonna evade an attack and sometimes he won't.

Like I said, clunky souls.

Looks pretty crisp so I'm going with my gut on this one and say yes, it does. Though my eyes ain't digital foundry so take that with a grain of salt.

I was afraid of that...So basically they pushed the combat in all those promotional videos/trailers but the combat still isn't that good.

It will be interesting to see what other people will say about it. Thank you for giving me a thorough answer :)

Sounds like the game needed another few months of cooking, Oh well still looks decent.

Trying to whether the storm here, so won't be posting much until it calms down, but people playing this version I have a question. Do you think its 1080p or 900p?

I noticed in the village video its stuttering.

Is that in the game or is that just the video?

I'd bet it's 1080p

Game doesn't stutter at all, sometimes the framerate dips during combat, but that's about as bad as it gets.

Busywork sounds disappointing. I thought the side quests would be meaningful and worth it. I did read that.
Click to expand...

Yeah. But I also remember reading the very same thing just before MAE released. Didn't believe Bioware then and didn't believe Ubisoft now. I guess I'm a cynical person at this point after seeing many promises from devs over the years.

I think it were a few media outlets that said this though. Ah well, maybe there are side quests like that and also the typical shitty ones. I'm sure reviews tomorrow will tell us.

Nice! Any chance to get screens as uncompressed pngs? ;)

Visually, what would you say? Comes close to/surpasses Horizon Zero Dawn as far as open world games go on PS4?
Click to expand...

Too much bother, sorry. :p

Game has some low-res textures however overall picture quality is very impressive, surpasses Horizon? No, but the scope of this world is like 5 or 6 Horizons and personally I vastly prefer its art direction to Horizon.

Centerstrain has a bunch of PS4 Pro gameplay videos for those interested. It looks great. Once they patch in 4K/HDR on November 7th, I do think that it will be debatable in regards to which game looks better - ACO or Horizon. ACO is bigger and multi-platform where as Horizon is smaller and only on one platform. Can't go wrong either way. I know that the videos are from a PS4 Pro but I don't think the base PS4 is that far behind going based on the base PS4 videos.
