I’m suspicious of that gif since Saints Row The Third and IV both looked better than that.
It’s from this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEJSBu20Hqs
And apparently it’s footage from PS4
EDIT:
From this article.
It looks pretty bad even for the PS4. And one of the articles had the dev say that the PC version will be identical to the next gen version just with a higher resolution and framerate.
Are surface reflections really that advanced of a feature that the hardware couldn’t handle it? …
Half-Life 2 has those. At least, in the form of cubemaps, I think.
They were for last gen. That’s why with all these next gen games you see reflections everywhere, because these consoles can finally do them. I mean you see games with reflections and stuff on the 360 and PS3 but not many with puddles of water reflecting or windows. Perhaps it’s more difficult in an open world game but even GTAIV’s water reflected stuff and every open world game since forever has had car reflections which you don’t even see in that video.
I’m starting to think not everything went well with the game’s production. Those graphics are beneath the machine’s capabilities.
Ubisoft must not live in the same reality as everyone else.
She even says the game as it is is better than the original footage in some ways and that at the very least it hasn’t been downgraded at all from the original footage.
Edit: Also they’re apparently doing a stream to address this stuff, on Twitch, but I don’t know the link.
Yes, reasonable aware customers who aren’t sheep are just haters and all of us want to see Ubisoft burn and that’s why we make up these false accusations. Obviously, it looks worse only because we want it to look worse, it’s self suggestion.
highly likely to be fake, that car looks like it came straight from gta3 and the lighting looks ps2 grade
It’s not fake, it’s from a preview video of the game. I just watched the video though (as I thought that was from the story trailer but just rewatched it and it isn’t) and it’s the worst looking part in the video so I don’t know what’s up with it. I think people did jump the gun on complaining about this though. It’s from a video of the PS4 version too so it should look a little bit better at least on PC. One thing I noticed in the video though is that most of the indoor parts have no shadows pretty much at all.
My hope is that the guy was actually on the PS3 version and simply got confused with which version he was playing.
What boggles my mind is if Ubisoft fucking claims that the game hasn’t been downgraded since the E3 2012 or as they say "people are using footage that has different weather conditions,no wind or rain or “it’s not the same time of the day” than why the fuck don’t they just show us footage that has all of that,like the
E3 2012 demo ?!?
Downgraded poly count and texture resolution, the most noticeable drop in quality are the lighting and shadows, no surface reflection, shitty looking static skybox, less objects on screen at once, different color palette/filter and so on.
Seriously, people should know by now, all the good looking stuff was just to make people buy the new consoles and games. We were promised “next-gen” so they had to show us what we wanted to see in order to fool us.
And this is why I’m a console hater. Just think about how we will have to stick with this level of “quality” for the next 6-8 years, if not longer if they decide so.
Something you can’t replace is a bad investment in my opinion.
Blame the devs, dotard. The PS4 is more than capable of those effects and more. Just fucking look at the new inFamous ffs.
Suddenly Infamous gets a srs graphical downgrade
Doubtful, the Infamous devs are very open about the game.
I don’t think it’s capable of what was shown originally but it should be able to get pretty close. I just want this to come out already so we can see for sure what has been downgraded.
Oh, physics have been downgraded as well. This is a good one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q0P5r5rX0A
I notice that in the original trailer when the explosion happens it’s nice and clean but when there’s the explosion in the new trailer it blurs the entire screen. I wish they wouldn’t do that.
