It does. Ubi released a "next gen effects" trailer months ago, demonstrating the rain, sea waves and foliage upgrades.

Will check that out, it was one of the things i really disliked about FC3 that the foilage just kind stood there and you glitched through it.

 

[heyf00L]

Sharper shadows are not realistic. Shadows blur the further they are from the object casting them.

AMD flew journos down to Hawaii, unveiled new GPUs, a new API, and new audio technology.

But according to you the only difference (your words) between these two events is the fact that AMD streamed the event themselves?

Did you see the AMD conference? Maybe we're not talking about the same one?

You think the press at this event are there on personal expenses?

The game has PCF shadows for umbra pen umbra... I think they know that.

Also... the game really does not look THAT impressive.

That part kind of confused me as well, I thought he had his slides backwards or something.

Where did I say that?

 

[ashecitism]

I went out after the break. What happened? Anything interesting?

 

[Grief.exe]

That weird porn music.

Ubisoft bullshitting around.

 

[Nethaniah]

It does look like Ubisoft is putting some effort into the ''next-gen'' (and pc) version of this game, wonder why Watch_Dogs looks so uninpressive compared to it.

 

[artist]

Where did I say that?

"AMD flew" ..

In this case, Nvidia flew press to this event as well. Like I said, the difference is that AMD decided to stream it themselves and Nvidia didnt. This is also getting tangential to the thread, so I wont continue this ..

 

[angular graphics]

Such bullshit.

 

[k4n3]

yes please stop filming now..... and cancel you're pre-orders

 

[Stitch]

oh fuck you ubi

 

[Zoned]

And.....

 

[mephixto]

Again, fck off

You know when to quit with your nonsense, at least you have that going for you.

 

[Raxious]

Wait, so because they dont want to show a cheat menu, it has to be blocked?

 

[Revolutionary]

This is stupid.

 

[heyf00L]

The game has PCF shadows for umbra pen umbra... I think they know that.

Also... the game really does not look THAT impressive.

Where did you see or hear that? Didn't look that way.

And no, when they're trying to pimp god rays, translucent leaves/sails, and POM -- all of which were in Crysis in 2007 -- I'm not that impressed.

 

[Nethaniah]

Is this the last bit of the event for the day? Cause if not, why not put this at the end...

 

[Lostconfused]

It does look like Ubisoft is putting some effort into the ''next-gen'' (and pc) version of this game, wonder why Watch_Dogs looks so uninpressive compared to it.

A lot of those features were already in 3 or are improvements on them.

 

[NotSelf]

There doing you guys a favor.

Yeah, definitely not impressed on my end consider Crysis 1 had all those things like you mention.

I am pretty sure the game has PCF shadows... but your doubt puts doubt in my mind.

I guess we will have to see when it comes out.

 

[Nethaniah]

A lot of those features were already in 3 or are improvements on them.

Oh, well i never really got that far into 3, figured this was mostly new for the series.

 

[Gestault]

You know, I have about $500 bucks to spend on a PS4 + games, and I have half a mind to just say fuck it and get an upgrade from my 7850. Also Watch_Dogs delay did not help PS4's cause

The PC version of Watchdogs was delayed as well...

 

[Grief.exe]

"Assassin's Creed, one of the best franchises ever"

 

[HariKari]

Three games (AC4, Batman, Blacklist) + $100 off a GPU if you buy a shield...

 

[Lostconfused]

Oh, well i never really got that far into 3, figured this was mostly new for the series.

At least on PC AC3 was already the "next gen" version. It really undermines the feeling of generational shift where the game that spans the generations has the least changes to it when compared to the games launched on previous gen consoles.

 

[artist]

You know when to quit with your nonsense, at least you have that going for you.

And you dont even know that.

 

[k4n3]

so no new GPU? oh well r290x it is then

 

[SJRB]

Is this guy wearing an nVidia moo moo?

 

[Dictator93]

Three games (AC4, Batman, Blacklist) + $100 off a GPU if you buy a shield...

that would be horrible

 

[HariKari]

I spy a Battlebox/Steambox, GeForce Experience, and 4k gaming (possible 4k display?) for tomorrow.

 

[CountAntonius]

I missed it. Anything Shadowplay related?

 

[Nocturno999]

Please be excited.

 

[MutonCommander]

Eh, not much going on today for us common users. Roll on tomorrow!

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Three games (AC4, Batman, Blacklist) + $100 off a GPU if you buy a shield...

I thought it was "Three games (AC4, Batman, Blacklist) + $100 off a Shield if you buy a GPU..."

 

[SniperHunter]

Also Watch_Dogs delay did not help PS4's cause

oh please, the game looked like complete ass. all the missions they showed this year looked boring and lame as heck

 

[Grief.exe]

I will watch tomorrow, they seem to think the stream will be more exciting.

I swear that if I even see a Ubisoft logo I will rip the Nvidia cards from my PC and sacrifice them on a pyre of burning ash.

 

[EatChildren]

Consolidated more or less everything about Batman, Listen_Dogs, and Black Flag here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=698893

 

[AndyBNV]

Tomorrow is announcement day, basically. Starts at the same time, and I believe PCP are streaming it again.

Stay tuned to your favorite hardware sites today for off-screen gameplay and impressions from the demo rigs (4K ACIV, Project Cars, Batman, etc), interviews with on-site devs and NVIDIA staff, stuff from their studio tours, and live hockey scores from the match tonight.

Edit: Holiday Bundle details are being uploaded to GeForce.com

 

[soulstoner]

Guys, get ready for the super secret announcement that will change everything:

AssCreed 4, Batman Origins..

Oh, nevermind...

 

[HariKari]

I thought it was "Three games (AC4, Batman, Blacklist) + $100 off a Shield if you buy a GPU..."

Re-watched it, you are correct.

That's awesome. Already have a 770 so not getting, but cheap AC4 on eBay I'm all for it .

Very nice.

Now I just need to see a GTX 780 price drop.

 

[HariKari]

I really hope for some game changing anouncement and not just more tech that we kinda already know of.

Some big hitters are there and the Nvidia guy who came on as the stream ended promised it would be big. Your hype train is cleared for departure.

"Those interested in SHIELD should head back to GeForce.com tomorrow for news of a major SHIELD software update that further extends its capabilities."

ShadowPlay?
