Not sure why the graphics comparisons keep revolving around Ubisofts games. They are impressive in their own right, but it does seem a little odd that upcoming open world tittles from EA and Sony have been mentioned far less when they are raising the bar as well.
Maybe its the theme differences, the lack of concrete release dates, Ubisofts history of open world tittles, or just what is currently taking up the mindshare on NeoGaf. Could also be the setting, but then again the Pacific North West is about as similar to Red Deads locals as Montana. (Each are different of course, but a lot closer than say ancient Eygpt.).
For the record I do think this Red Dead trailer looked good. Not mind boggling amazing but still a lot better than GTAV and very competitive with the slate of holiday 2017 open world games, maybe even surpassing them in a few ways. Its what comes later though that I think may give it more competition. Then again Rockstar has an army of people working on the game and weve just seen a tiny slice. I would never doubt their ability to push the limits with their resources.
