Neh, even though I have a pc that is capable of running unity at max, It just doesn't look interesting enough for me



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Meh... an unoptimised game with forced parity is not my idea of a next-gen showcase.

Can you finally run in Unity without automatically running up buildings if you get too close? That would be an improvement.

My guess is you will run up the buildings even faster :)

With the extra interiors it wouldn't surprise me if you automatically run inside when you come near a door. So annoying in AC when you want to run away
and you end up humping a wall over and over.

OR

A company that makes a bad PC version on purpose so the consoles dont look underpowered compared to a PC  just makes the last gen version subpar on purpose (even tho they could make it better) so the current gen version looks better in comparison.


 

You know, PC guys sometimes are really paranoid. Maybe aliens are involved in this plot too.

The game is simply badly optimized. Look at InFAMOUS SS. It looks better than any openworld game on PC or console, and it is 1080p@40fps. But I get the idea: game runs bad on PC because it's badly optimized. If it runs bad on console it's because console is underpowered. It doesn't make sense, specially when you factor in that Unity doesn't even look that good compared to other next gen titles.

Assassin's Creed is pretty fun for the first few hours, but then it just gets boring to me afterwards. I hope Unity improves upon the formula. Should be fun to watch streamers play it.



Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward = best game ever made.

What the hell are you talking about lol? Let me clarify what I ment. "A company that makes WatchDogs subpar on PC can also make Assassisn Creed on last gen worse than it could have been so PS4 and XBO look better in comparison". So in theory the big improvements can also be artificial not only because of power.

Next time try to re-ead and if you are not sure what I ment just ask me please. (but I agree that my comment can be confusing if you dont know about Ubisoft and Watchdogs PC)

off topic
Little psychology lesson: (because I am bored)

Dont go the "maybe aliens are involved too" route. Why? Because this is what people usually say when they want to hide something. (Dont get me wrong I am not talking about you)

if someone "investigator/conspiracy theorist" has a hot scent and is going to bust someone who hides something/the truth etc. then the guy that is going to be busted uses something the "conspiracy theorists" said and then adds crap like aliens to it so that the thing the "conspiracy theorist" actually said looks ridiculous because a potential audience automatically connects it with aliens. (or nazis or whatever)  Someone in straits always tries to move the attention/spotlight/focus away from oneself.

This is working because people most of the time remember the last thing they heard the best. (thats why in competitions the one being the last always has an advantage)

Another example of this behavior is when  there is a group of lets say 5 people. 1 feels unconfortable for whatever reason (maybe the group talks about sex and the above mentioned guy  is the only one who never had sex) To distract from this and his insecurity he starts to downplay another person like "I bet X never had sex because he is fat"  or something like that.

Well, it doesn't change much. WD was subpar on PCs and consoles. AC Unity looks to be subpar on PCs (the requirements and visuals simply don't match) and consoles. It's a yearly franchise and this year Ubi developed two games. They simply didn't had time to make something decent, even if they want to advertise it as a "real next-gen title". Of course, there is that parity thing and that is something that is really possible because an Ubisoft guy said it, even if he tried to explain it after the buzz about it.

Of course, the game has improvements, but not just because they got more power to do it. They are trying to say that they will innovate with a game that has yearly iterations and that's pretty hard. You barely has time to make your game, so you can only put some improvements on it before shipping the final product. The real innovation won't come from this franchise.

My original point is that everytime people think consoles are underpowered compared to PCs. Even when games like Second Son are actually the best looking open world game available. That means Unity could look like it, but they simply don't have time to make it.

I don't think it looks unoptimised, its technically the most impressive multiplat on both PS4 and XB1, and anyway I buy games to enjoy the gameplay and story, not the graphics.
