Does that look somehow next gen compared to, say, AC Unity which is a much better performer overall?
That is quite a bold statement here
AC:Unity (MSAA aside obviously) has a bit higher level of performance, sometimes worse depending on the situation, than Mankind Divided for me with everything maxed out.
Except that Mankind Divided offers a better overall visual presentation in my opinion, and yes, some interiors in Unity are still stunning, I know. Better and consistent skin/SSS shading (the quality of the teeth at the beginning somehow surprised me actually), nice and natural volumetric lighting, better materials (it can be a matter of taste since some aspects are art-related), lot of real time reflections...
Well, better and more recent techs mostly. Which is quite normal since Unity is nearly 2 years old already. DX:MD can looks beautiful when everything is mixed altogether.
