Looks fun but please, Ubisoft, do a better job with your target renders in the future. By "better job" I mean "more representative of the final product". Stop with the wow factor reveal videos that anyone who pays attention knows you'll never live up to.

Exactly. Everyone would be more excited about this game if they showed this to begin with. It still looks great but people feel betrayed because of the downgrade in graphics.

How can you even talk about a downgrade when you don't even know how the game looks on a high end PC?!

[KarmaV12]

Games are generally shown off a year, at least, ahead of release. How could they know the precise amount of graphical fidelity and features could be handled on a product shown so far from release?

This argument is always towards them and I don't understand it. Often, they reveal their game well, well ahead of release, meaning the game is probably being made on PC first then shrunk down and rebuilt on consoles. Therefore when they show it, it will NEVER be what you see as the final product. Tweaks are made up until the game launches and even after.

A game like Fallout, revealed a few months before release, there you go you get the expected quality. And what happened with that? People complained it looked like garbage. So either way, devs can never get it right.

All I'm saying, try to understand the development process. Next time you see a Ubisoft game, expect those are PC graphics. And that goes for more than just their games. If you want ultimate quality like they show off, get a PC that could handle it. Don't expect to see the individual snowflakes on a budget gaming system.

"This argument is always towards them and I don't understand it."

Ubisoft is easily the downgrade poster child for this generation.

"Next time you see a Ubisoft game, expect those are PC graphics."

I've known that for years, but I still say it's deceptive to show visual quality that even relatively few PC gamers will see. I understand the marketing aspect, but marketing is often deceptive.

The game looks better than last years version,and people with certain PCs can get closer to the reveal render. This is still considered one of the best looking games.

[Pongwater]

I think it still looks very nice and I will be buying it, but for marketing hype purposes Ubisoft insists on showing quality that even relatively few PC gamers will see. That's what I have a problem with even though I understand why they do it. Lots of marketing is full of it.

[Rimeskeem]

This looks nothing like the reveal. The snow looks like crap now and the building look very plastic like compared to the reveal.

The map does seem a little small?
