Wow, just wow. It looks very very close. I can't believe how quickly he achieved this.

wtopez4103d ago

Oh boy. I can't wait until actual games start looking like this. Now that engines like Unreal 4 and Cryengine are becoming so accessible to independent developers, I believe that we're in for a big boost in gaming quality overall in the coming years. Good stuff indeed.

starchild4103d ago (Edited 4103d ago )

Yeah, it's going to be great. I can't wait for a game with similar graphical detail as the Infiltrator demo.

It might seem impossible to some people, but the top Unreal Engine 3 games looked at least equal to, if not a bit better than, the early UE3 demos.

Just imagine what the 1st party game engines will look like. Halo 5 if it does release in 2015 will blow everyone away, especially when they take full advantage of dx12 even tho some devs will use partial of it later this year. And of course ps4 games will look awesome too because of course they will.

ironfist924103d ago

That was quick. looks great

its_JEFF4103d ago

looks amazing... I can only imagine the type of rig they used to run this.

FlyingFoxy4103d ago

They used a GTX 680 to show off the UE4 engine demo's before.

Probably any card above that should be able to run games fine @ fast fps.

Hercules1894103d ago

1 thing you have to realize is that UE is made for optimization. It might look better on powerful hardware but not by much. And the tech demos, like the infiltrator will take probably about year+/- after UE4 is available to achieve.

I was hoping for Ubi to use the Snow Drop Engine but Unreal Engine looks fantastic

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy85461d ago (Edited 461d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Five small but brilliant maps in games

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis939d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde939d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils939d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia940d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack939d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain939d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall939d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast939d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
