Assassin's Creed: Unity - 13 Minutes Of Gameplay Footage From Single Player Campaign

YouTube’s ‘Connected Digital World’ has released a new video, showing off 13 minutes of gameplay footage from Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s Single Player campaign.

[TheGamingArt]

Well, it's a graphical improvement lol.

[MRMagoo123]

Did you see the frame drops tho wowza! it must be hitting the low teens in a lot of places, look at 9:35 onward where he is climbing the building. I cant believe they had to make it 900p and still cant even get 30fps. At 2:20 or something like that he just glitches through a window lol.

The gamersyde vid makes it look like the land of jaggies and the fps sucks.

[LamerTamer]

It IS the land of jaggies, AKA 900p.

This vid is from the xbone, maybe the PS4 version will be smoother at least since it is so low res.

[Eonjay]

Its the cinematic effect.

[ReesesPuffs]

Shots fired Ubisoft lol. Regardless of the performance I'm sure it'll still be fun. The 30 fps is kinda a bummer but I'm still looking forward to it. November and December outta be sweet for every gamer regardless of platform.

[starchild]

This is the Xbox One version. What you guys are saying about this footage further supports the idea that just because the resolution and framerate target are the same between the PS4 and XB1 versions doesn't mean that they are the same in terms of performance and other elements of the graphics.

For example, the PS4 verison may maintain a more stable 30fps, or it might have better anti-aliasing or improvements in other areas of the graphics.

[DragonKnight]

@Eonjay: I was just thinking that it's like being at the movies. Where's the popcorn? XD

[PLASTICA-MAN]

There is also a coop video: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[R6ex]

Jarring screen tears!

[Th4Freak]

I really really liked the A.I at 2:31, 2 complete strangers with swords irrupt in the house through the window and the NPCs didn't even notice them.

True next-gen A.I right there.

[MrPink2013]

The game looks beautiful and is rendering a very large area. You can go into rooms and interact with many other characters. I think more so than even GTA V. I'm not sure we've seen a game yet on this type of scale on the new consoles. Asking for 1080p and 60 frames per second out of these systems is a pipe dream for open world games like this.

I think this is the first time we've seen the PC able to outdate the new systems this quickly. I know which platform I will be getting it on.

[purpleblau]

This looks so last gen. Not sure if it has to do with xbone, I doubt it. In terms of graphics, nothing exciting.

[bigbearsack]

Looks horrible. Same animations too.

[funkybudda]

This is on the "do not buy" list for me. Reduce the resolution on PS4 version for the sake of parity is a crime against PS4 gamers that shouldn't be tolerated.

[cleft5]

Same here and its not just PS4 gamers that should be pissed off either. The Xbox One is capable of 1080p games, look at all the crazy things happening in the new Quantum Break trailer. Ubisoft is just being lazy and screwing over ps4 and xbox one gamers. I am not going to support a company that does that so I will not buy this game.

[starchild]

That's a ridiculous way to frame the issue. Every system is capable of outputting 1080p resolution and 60fps. It's always comes down to a trade off. On consoles the trade-off generally isn't worth it. You only have a limited amount of hardware performance and very often there are better things to spend it on than just resolution or trying to achieve 60fps.

So again, yes, both consoles are capable of that resolution and framerate, but to say that those things are always more important than other aspects of the game is just incredibly ignorant in my opinion.

I don't want games this generation to be crippled by this fanatical obsession with 1080p and 60fps. I want developers to be free to spend the rendering budget where they think best makes sense for their games. I see people like you as the enemies of the progress that I value in gaming.

[DragonKnight]

@starchild: Would you give it up. For starters, labeling people as "the enemy" of what you personally want is just a tad melodramatic don't you think?

Secondly, the parity issue is the core of the problem, not the resolution. You and Death both have comprehension problems. No matter how many people tell you, and no matter how similarly they word it, both of you can't understand that people are upset about WHY the resolution is, now WHAT the resolution is.

So allow me to speak for everyone when I say, what you want matters to no one. So if you want to go around making enemies for yourself, perhaps you should question your own priorities and life before you start criticizing everyone.

[starchild]

I'm strongly opposed to that kind of thinking, that's all I'm saying. I've seen you rail against a huge number of things so you are no one to talk.

Second of all, you must not have actually read a single one of my comments on this subject, because I've made it clear in nearly every one of them that I understand that people are upset because they believe Ubisoft purposefully gimped the PS4 version to make the two console versions the same and they believe (rightly) that the PS4 is more powerful so should have a graphically superior version. The whole crux of my comments has been to point out that people would be right to be upset IF we actually knew that the two versions were in fact equal, but we don't know any such thing and most of the evidence points to the fact that likely won't be the case.

So stop with the straw man arguments. I know full well what some of you are complaining about, I simply don't agree with the reasoning behind it. You're the one that hasn't comprehended what I have said, not the other way around.

Oh, and let me speak on behalf of everyone, nobody cares what you think or say about anything either.

[MeliMel]

@starchild, great comment. Bubble for well said.

[DragonKnight]

@starchild: Yes, you have seen me rail against many subjects, it's called having an opinion. There are 2 differences between you and I.

The first is I don't go around calling people my enemy because they don't share my opinion, only to later try to backpeddle and say "oh I'm just opposed to their thinking" which is basically saying the same thing. I don't turn into a politician that rewords things to seem less of an attack or overly dramatic. I say what I mean and I mean what I say.

The second is that, unlike you, I know my opinion matters only to me. I don't pretend like it matters to anyone but me, something that you've yet to learn.

You've been in every AC Unity article trying to deny or downplay the parity reason Ubisoft used, trying desperately to get people to believe that there are other ways in which the games will not be equal. You ignore everyone, and their opinions, to parrot your own as though it is either fact, or foolish to disagree with what you consider your own opinion to be. That being supposedly moderate, yet obviously not.

Here is what we know about AC Unity based on what was said. The PS4 version had its resolution gimped to be equal to the Xbox One version. Talking about other areas of the game is pointless because that's not what Ubisoft spoke of themselves. So trying to deflect focus away from being rightly upset that Ubisoft is purposely gimping an aspect of PS4's version of AC Unity for parity, to "well you know the lighting might be better on the PS4" is laughably absurd, and completely irrelevant.

That kind of deflection, that attempt to evade the topic so others focus on something else, is as sleazy a move as any publisher or politician could make.

So allow me to continue to speak, if I may (and if they don't want me to they can say so), on behalf of everyone who is upset about this parity issue and say take your deflections, evasions, and attempt to shift focus off of what we are upset about and go away. You've no right to tell us what we should or should not be upset about, and your opinion remember is only important to you.

[Riderz1337]

The parkour animations are really well done this time around. You can see him stumble sometimes and try to regain his balance which adds a level of realism to it.

[brew]

Lock picking looked terrible.

[poppinslops]

Georgeous!

Day 1.

[Software_Lover]

Can someone tell me what the resolution was of the video.

I can't tell.

[Eonjay]

Its whatever you set the YouTube quality to. Also, be aware that YouTube compression isn't the same thing as the native resolution you see on a TV screen. Someone would have to upload a video with a lot less compression (the file would be huge) in order to gauge what it really looks like.

[Software_Lover]

...... it was a joke, but I do appreciate your efforts.

[AidenPearce]

This game looks good, hopefully it plays good too. Reminds me a lot of AC2.

[TheUpbringer]

This video is several days old. Still good, but I've seen this posted everywhere.

[LamerTamer]

Not buying this 900p parity crap...

[audiophile101]

yes go cry a river and then beuild a bridge , and take your poor little feelings over that bridge.

[alb1899]

Go home and cry like baby!
They did took the best choice for their game and money, I even can't see any difference, you guys like so much the drama......jajaja!
I can even believe some comments here!

[LamerTamer]

Yeah just accept whatever crap they shove at you. It is only your 60 USD that you pay, what do you expect to actually have them use the hardware? Parity is more important so xbox fanboys won't cry about getting a lesser version for their weaker console and avoid debates and stuff.

Hell you know why stop at parity with xbone, Wii U owners will cry too, maybe games should all be at parity with the WiiU. 720p and 30 FPS is good enough right, gameplay > graphics and all of that crap? Parity not just consoles either, it applies to PC now too you can't see a difference. PC gamers with Titan Z equipped rigs will be happy with 720p and 30fps because "gameplay is what is important" and "you can't tell the difference, just upscale everything".

[Eonjay]

You probably wont have to; unless you want it on Xbox One. Chances are that the PS4 and PC versions will wind up with resolutions optimized for those platforms.

[ginsunuva]

Buy the up-to-4K parity version on PC

[Kingdomcome247]

Man, Paris looks dense. Loads of 'splorin to be had.

[AgentSmithPS4]

Exploring, wouldn't that be nice, in AC:BF chests were marked for me so I wouldn't get lost on land or under water...

[poppinslops]

Play without the HUD... It's prettier and more of a challenge.

[Kingdomcome247]

Ehh... to each their own. I for one am going to enjoy it thoroughly. Especially the Notre Dame cathedral, and all of the other accessible building interiors.

[xXRampage07Xx]

The graphics looks amazing without a doubt. However, frame rate is still somehow choppy and unstable. Hopefully, Ubisoft will fix it by release.

[Gore-Content]

Fix your resolution and I'll buy your game.

[marioJP87]

Proof this last gen looking piece of $h!t was held back on PS4 because of parity.

[StormLegend]

The frame rate is droping in some places, I hope the PS4 version is locked 30fps

[Meltic]

pirate anyone PC ? wont support them..

[PCBOX]

The power of the XO. The game looks great and extremely detailed on XO. Hope they bump the res. Up to 1080p on PS4 with lowered assets please!!!

[jhoward585]

I'm kind of getting the reason why UBI might've dropped the res on Assassins Creed Unity. They did say Assassin's Creed Unity Will Have Microtransactions. But to what degree I asked, and on what scale/size are Microtransactions will it be. I wonder could it be that UBI needed the memory space to add all kind of weapons/skins/etc. For a mutiplayer game loading time would be even more important in the game. not so much for single player game. That said, its possible Dropping the res can give them more memory space to add stuff in later in the game with out ruining the multiplayer experience due to long loading time.

[hello12]

Its a Youtube video, the graphics will look better. This video does explain why the PS4 version is only 900p the games frame rate isn't stable from the look of this video.

[HeavenlySnipes]

Everyone talking about the graphics but this looks like every other Assassin's Creed game

I'm waiting for them to make their "assassin games" revolve around stealth more than action with get away mechanics.

Another pass for me
