They don't even stop at "high-end PC". It's the "highest-end" PC, apparently. And yet it has minor aliasing that is common on most console games. That's what started the confusion.

My most anticipated multi-platform game this early in the gen. Can't wait.

Pretty sure you know the answer to that
Pretty sure Jonathan Morin will answer if someone had tweeted him. Has anyone done this yet?

Basically, since Ubisoft provided the b-roll, they're assuming it's PC. This is pretty much FUD.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
This looks pretty fun but why is everyone the main character? That was a lame move.

I wasn't expecting so much of a generic cover-based shooter.
Looks decent but might as well wait for the sale price after 60 days.

These threads have been putting me off NeoGAF recently, so much crying and whining about graphics downgrades, I always saw NeoGAF as a safe haven from the usual gaming blog post comments section. I'm really not butthurt that the game doesn't look like some unrealistic trailer that came out two years ago, because I didn't hype myself up with stupidly high expectations two years ago.
That being said the robo spider trip sections looks like loads of fun, seems like there will be a wide variety of gameplay so i'll be grabbing this at launch.

they are but aren't, as in you always play as aiden, but you look like any other npc on other people's game.
I really do hope they have some bs parallel universe lore for this though!

Yes, i think the poster and that site are just guessing.

I wonder how the last gen versions run. Cinematic 24fps framerate and clystar clear 600p resolution.

How in the hell does this make any sense at all? The DS4 doesn't have native support or drivers for PC, so why would Ubisoft waste a bunch of time developing a UI for the PC version that includes graphics for DS4 button prompts?

Looks okay, still cautious, wasn't expecting such an action focus though, ubi might surprise us, maybe not, will wait for opinions.
To avoid more downgrade controversies? It wouldn't be the first time.
Not say it is or isn't, just replying to that question in particular.
Anyway, I'm still skeptical on this game but hope it's good. I just don't want stale gameplay that bores me within a few hours.

Looks like lots of fun. Graphics are also pretty nice. Must say, though - disappointing lack of pedestrians and vehicles in many sections. The city looks kind of dead.

They did it for Ass Creed IV
Sony probably has provided drivers for developers because this would not be the first time Ubisoft demoed something on PC using a Dual Shock(The Division).
Edit: Then again, we have conflicting reports here on this thread.

Haha, funny to see Gamespot and other saying the difference is very very noticeable.
Weird.

If they're still being weird about this game by using PC footage overlaid with PS4 prompts, that would be unbelievable. I'd like to think Ubi smartened up to all the noise online and wouldn't want any more confusion regarding stuff like that. I hope the simplest answer applies here, that being PS4 prompts = PS4 version.

- Other than that, the main mission number is disappointing. Sleeping Dogs had 30 and that game felt too short. The story missions better be substantial and well made with that number because even something like GTAV had 69 missions and still felt underwhelming.
- Gun sounds are not good. Why is RDR the only open world game to get this right?
- Still not a fan of the AR/trippy side mission gimmicks. In concept I thought it went against the tone way too much, and in practice it looks like something ripped right out of Saints Row. Reeks of them just throwing in any old content to pad playtime rather than creating tonally consistent side activities. To be fair, this is an issue I have with nearly every open world title. This won't be a big deal as long as the hacking based side content is fulfilling.
- Mechanics look snappier than GTA, thank God. Should be a better playing experience on foot. Driving looks a little stiff and vehicle damage isn't doing much for me, but I can forgive these as long as driving works well combined with hacking and police evasion.
- The world itself looks fine. I still say the lighting is a step back from GTAV, but pedestrian activity looks okay. Hard to get a real feel for this without playing it for a few hours to see how everything ebbs and flows.
- Multiplayer integrations looks good. Who knows how it will actually work with randoms and unstable connections though. Aside from straight up campaign co-op, open world multiplayer has been rather boring in most of these titles. We'll see.
All in all, I'm about where I was before these previews: Unsure. Still waiting for impressions from like 15-20 hour playtimes to see how this all comes together.

A Dutch website called tweakers.net describes a similar experience. There were multiple PS4 stations available and only 4 with the PC version. The guy did not notice any big differences between PS4 and PC which he found a bit disappointing.

this actually looks pretty fun. visuals aren't anything special but the gameplay looks really fun. i might give this game a shot down the line.

Expectations tempered for now. I'm sure it'll be fun in a lot of parts, but so many Ubisoft titles are not great at story mission design that I can't get excited right off the bat. The multiplayer footage definitely looks interesting though. My two dumb nitpicks otherwise: I'm tired of shooter games having "heavy" or "juggernaut" type enemies, and I'm sick of skill trees.

He basicly says: if you're worried about a downgrade, don't.
Pretty good video quality too by the way.

I expected that everybody is going to talk about graphics again...
Gameplay looked really, really good. Can't wait to try everything out. Looks way more divers than GTA V.
It also looks very nice imo. If I compare the rainy night time parts to the reveal trailer I'd say there isn't any downgrade visible.
Some things have changed obviously, but I wouldn't call it downgraded.
Can't wait to play this game.

Yeah, on this note is there footage showing what it looks like for the player who wants to invade another game? Starting things up I mean? Do you just select an online mission and get a loading screen before being thrown into a random game?

Looks boring as hell. Must resist the stupid hype for this game.
What did you expect? How else can you transition from single player to multiplayer without a player noticing and also give them the freedom to just continue the campaign?

The only version I will be able to play for some time yet is the 360 version, so i'm very interested in this. Honestly, I suffered through 15fps on Borderlands 2, so as long as the game is feature-complete on 360 i'm happy no matter how hideous it is.

well its the age old 'i can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps' question.
I'm pretty sure the extra nvidia fluff effects will make pc look better, but not drastically better, so framerate will be key, and not everyone is as sensitive to that.
Seriously. If Ubi is being knowingly misleading at this point it would be absolutely appalling and prove that they really cannot be trusted.
Glad I'm not the only one. Those weapon
sounds are embarrassingly weak.

We've reached a point where differences are there if you are sensitive to noticing them. Comments not backed by analysis end up sounding like "I see what I believe" and not the other way around. This is going to be a long and entertaining generation filled with conflicting reports and confirmation bias.
What constitutes a large or small difference is different to each person. There are people (possibly trolls) who think Killzone: Shadow Fall looks like a PS3 game after all.

Lol, i just heard about a narcoleptic hooker in the game.
So everyone gets to play Aiden Pierce. In multiplayer, you're always Aiden though you see everyone else as a different character.
