I really hope it looks that good when it releases because that is damn pretty.

 

[Seanspeed]

So everybody is assuming that's gameplay footage, huh?

Cant wait to hear all the whining and complaining later when it doesn't look nearly that good.....not because of a downgrade, but because they were thinking a CG scene was gameplay.

 

[GlamFM]

Misleading thread title.

This is a CG movie.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

The French Revolution as a back drop for an AC game is pretty great.

 

[Blimblim]

Super HQ quality version is up, seriously it's super high bitrate

[BrassDragon]

Even for Assassins, it"s important to check your pocket watch when Paris' greatest clockwork is chiming...

 

[jond76]

I think its real time. Reason: the paper particles in the street scene fade away after floating a bit. Looks nice.

 

[twobear]

If that's what they're aiming at wrt the population then I can see why they waited before doing the French Revolution.

I'm perchedT as hell.

 

[Vinc]

Well, this certainly looks like a proper next-gen game. I'm pretty excited, though I still need to finish Black Flag.

 

[Bold One]

don't believe their lies

 

[Dark_castle]

Impressive graphics.

Too bad the setting wasn't my cup of tea. When will there be one open world RPG or adventure game set on ancient China or Japan?

 

[Castef]

PC footage will be downgraded for consoles.

This whole "downgrading" thing has already become quite tedious.

 

[Deadbeat]

lol
Ubisoft haven't learned after the Watch_Dogs debacle.
Jesus....

They have learned that the gaming media will defend them to the grave so who cares if they make up lies?

 

[lantus]

Looks nice, too bad it will still fall into the same trap all assassins creed games do.

 

[Lucifon]

I applaud Ubisoft coming out and just teasing the game after it's leaked. That's what a company should do, not pretend the leak never happened and go "Surpriseeee!" to no fanfare whatsoever.

Looks great, but after Watch Dogs I'm sceptical of the visuals...

 

[SolidSnakex]

Misleading thread title.

This is a CG movie.

From the video description

So here's a true first look at in-game footage from Assassin's Creed Unity.

 

[Nikodemos]

Will play this in French, for the extra authenticity.

 

[Clevinger]

Cant wait to hear all the whining and complaining later when it doesn't look nearly that good.....not because of a downgrade, but because they were thinking a CG scene was gameplay.

"the following is alpha game footage"

It's probably bullshit, but they're absolutely claiming it is.

 

[w00zey]

Looks like they learned their lesson from the Watch_Dogs fiasco with the footage with the alpha disclaimer. I really don't think there'll be a downgrade, that looks really good but it's not mind-blowing. Plus is this the next-gen only one?

This is how I feel as well. Though I know why most people are cynical. At some point though what we are seeing isn't exactly mindblowing and what is should be doable.

 

[anexanhume]

Obligatory Wii U am cry comment.

 

[bigas]

No onde else noticed slow down when the trailer goes outside?

 

[ichtyander]

I like the time period and locale, I can even believe some of the graphics (with certain downgrades) but if they don't change the gameplay drastically, I can't see myself not getting bored early in the game.

Played Black Flag after a longer pause of AC games and had a lot of fun but it was still a chore playing it from about halfway through the game.

The series desperately need a revamped gameplay system, increased difficulty, stealth mechanics that are maybe more similar to the Hitman and Splinter Cell series and less of Ubi's trademark blueprint gameplay of "conquering" checkpoints and areas.

 

[jelly]

Remember when AC3 was three years in development.

Not falling for it Ubisoft. You have a lot to prove in game play as well as graphics.

Says in game in the description.

 

[Impeccable]

Not sure what is so unbelievable about what was in that teaser to be honest, guess we are still over reacting to the perceived WD stuff.

 

[Interceptor]

Misleading thread title.

This is a CG movie.

Nope. It´s tretty apparent that this is not CG. But i doubt you can reach this level of fidelity on consoles. But we will see.

 

[Seanspeed]

"the following is alpha game footage"

It's probably bullshit, but they're absolutely claiming it is.

Have we not learned yet that 'in-game' or 'game footage' doesn't automatically mean gameplay footage?

I swear I learned that lesson like a decade ago.

 

[Interrobang]

Unity sounds like a free-to-play subtitle. Hope it's not final. Assassin's Creed V would be much more impactful.

 

[KingJ2002]

That crowd looked amazing... i wont be as skeptical as the rest of you guys. I think they will deliver.

 

[dopemethodz]

is this really that hard to believe? i mean it is only xbone, ps4 & pc right? i think the visuals are doable.

 

[F0rneus]

French Revolution deserves a V. Drop Unity Ubi. Looking real good in any case. Hopefully won't be always-online.

 

[Pitmonkey]

From December.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Time is a flat circle.

 

[BakkaGames]

I don't think that an anual franchise can look better than the best exclusives to date (ryse and infamous). If this is true, next-gen is going to be even more mind-blowing that we expected.

If this is a shitty tech demo to hype us, Ubisoft will receive the biggest rage in history.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Obligatory Wii U am cry comment.

Wii didn't cry when there were PS3/360 exclusives and this game likely wouldn't sell on Wii U anyway. Having these sorts of games isn't going to solve the Wii U's problems.

 

[Braag]

Looks niiiice and I like the period they've chosen.

Graphics look crazy good which can only mean that it will be downgraded later on

Edit: I don't really like the title Unity either. Sounds generic like revelations or brotherhood... which is exactly what ubisoft wants I guess.

 

[Toa TAK]

Don't care about the graphics, as long as they're presentable. Just really excited for an AC game in the French Revolution!

 

[Coolwhip]

Has next gen been mind blowing so far to anyone?

 

[RoKKeR]

Getting serious AC2 vibes, I like that it's back in. A big city.

Obligatory prepare for downgrade comment.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

French Revolution deserves a V. Drop Unity Ubi. Looking real good in any case. Hopefully won't be always-online.

I think they're leery of calling it V because of the fact they're pushing two versions out (last gen and current gen). They probably don't want to have two different games called Assassain's Creed V and feel a subtitle after the V could just imply they're ports of each other.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Have you even looked through this thread?

Half the responses are doubt and downgrade related.

 

[mattp]

wait, this is the ps3/360 game? lol...

Why wouldn't it? I mean if you think about it this game has been in development a lot longer than Infamous and Ryse. I expect Batman to be just as impressive.

 

[injurai]

I really hope the go all out on the AI and gameplay. It's the first nextgen AC game they have to buck the trend of rehashing the same formula with the same problems.

Especially if they expect the series to last another generation.

 

[krameriffic]

Seems odd that after the positive response they got from changing up the formula in AC4 and focusing on the ship combat and a whole new setting and style that they would go back to something much more like AC2. It's a much better idea than AC3--American revolution era cities just aren't that interesting to explore, but people haven't forgotten the fatigue they felt from the previous entries.

 

[Kouriozan]

I WANT I WANT!

 

[dosh]

That looks amazing if in-game. Huge jump from cross-gen stuff like AC4 Black Flag!

In engine, probably. Ingame, highly doubtful.

Funny that it comes right after the Watch Dogs downgrade and "but Guillemot asked us to show it earlier than we wanted to" debacle.

 

[Haines]

clearly says our "vision"

This is not what it will look like.

 

[Awntawn]

one of the things that's always bugged me about open world games is that the world always seems like a scaled down miniature.

downgrade the visuals all you want, if the scale of the environment remains that large, count me excited.

 

[Kinyou]

wait, this is the ps3/360 game? lol...

Next gen only. The leaked screenshots definitely made it look like a 360 game though
