The rain effect is way better on next gen

Pintheshadows3853d ago

Lighting, textures and smoke effects are as well. To be expected though. The PS3 version does still look nice though.

ZBlacktt3853d ago

The whole game plays like this. Same game play, but visually not even close. This is one epic looking game and one everyone should get lost in!

JimmyLmao3853d ago

gahh, why can't they just compare the PS4 and the XB1 version already? it honestly cant look that bad on XB1 that they wont show it to anyone.

OrangePowerz3853d ago

Because nobody has seen the X1 version yet.

N311V3853d ago

I'd say reviewers were sent PS4 versions so they don't have any XBone footage to compare to. I expect them to be fairly similar.

Destrania3853d ago

I think it's worrisome that people still haven't seen Xbone footage of this game. Or some other multi-plats for that matter.

James Vanderbeek3853d ago

little disappointing. ps4 looks better but there isnt anything wowing me

I am still buying a ps4. getting nba 2k, killzone and call of duty

Sleebs3853d ago

I don't think this game was built from next-gen hardware. So you're probably just seeing a better looking PS3/Xbox 360 game.

Pintheshadows3853d ago

Yeah, I don't think this was built from the ground up for the next gen but regardless, the added details are nice.

OrangePowerz3853d ago

The Anvil engine is quite outdated it showed it`s age already in AC3.

AAWELLS093853d ago

It looked fine on PC with "Textures will be "double-res in most cases, but quadruple in some,"(PC Gamer.com).

OrangePowerz3853d ago

AC games don`t look impressive since a while especially the character models don`t look that good even not on PC.

I hope the AC games will use the Watch Dogs engine in the future that looks considerably better.

starchild3853d ago

They're still some of the better looking games around.

I_am_Batman3853d ago

That's the way it is with cross gen games.

ZBlacktt3853d ago

See it in person then come back and reply. Never ever look at a video on the Internet and think this is a true assumption of what it will look like on your flat panel HD TV.

TomahawkX3853d ago

Not really a big difference, I wouldn't buy a PS4 just to play this since the PS3 version looks just fine.

AAWELLS093853d ago

Then you dont know what your looking for then if that's what you think. This video isn't a good representation of either game tho.

starchild3853d ago

I've seen the PS4 version first hand and it does look very impressive. I seriously doubt the PS3 version will actually look nearly that good.

I'm getting the PC version when it comes out, but the PS4 version did look very good.

Gore-Content3853d ago

Sorry, but there's little to no differences. What did Ubisoft do? The PS4 is more capable than this! Take a look at Battlefield 4!

N311V3853d ago

I see the opposite to you, big differences!

Most of the differences a I see are on everything but the people. Perhaps it's because your focusing on the character models? Actually asking, not being sarcastic.

Gore-Content3853d ago

Watching it again, in 1080p full screen mode, the differences are more noticable. But not as much as I want a next gen game to be.

I'm more impress with what DICE has done with PS4 version of Battlefield 4.

N311V3853d ago

@ Gore-Content

Yeah I was hoping for more of a difference too.

Early days though, I'm sure they'll keep getting better and better.

ZBlacktt3853d ago

Go play the game in person and then come back and say that. I've already played both AC4 and BF4 on the PS4. Nothing moved me more then AC4. The best damn water I've ever seen in a console game period. The best looking real environment as well. Never ever judge anything by a video posted on the Internet. You cannot get the same "real" experience first hand. I cannot say that enough on this website. Better yet until then, go read all the reviews. Every single one says jaw dropping graphics and visuals.

PoE: Deadfire, Unless you have a or PS5 or an SSD don't bother, loading times are insane. A minute and a half to go into a room to investigate a desk in an inn and then an additional 1 1/2 minutes to leave the room and then load to leave the inn???

And they never fixed it.

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag vs Skull and Bones Video Comparison Is an Eye-Opener

Ubisoft has just released Skull and Bones on PC and consoles. And, from the looks of it, the game wasn’t received well by some gamers. Not only that but it appears that Skull and Bones can be worse than Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, a game that came out a decade ago.

I wanted a Black Flag sequel so bad. It's still my favorite AC entry. The fact that they ignored everything that we loved about that game in this "spiritual successor" is making me enjoy watching this game crash and burn quite a bit. Either do it right or don't do it at all. (I understand the legal binding they got themselves into with the Singapore government to release this game at all costs)

isarai90d ago

My thing is, if the Singapore govt was forcing you to do it at all cost, why not make what people wanted? How did ubi delay it for 5yrs, then again for 1yr and not just make a similar experience to black flag? How do you spend so much time and make so little?

Chocoburger89d ago

Ubisoft did make a sequel, Assassin's Creed: Rogue. It has a short campaign, and its packed with filler side quests for upgrades, but it's still a decent time.

It released on the same day as Assassin's Creed: Unity, so it was mostly forgotten.

porkChop89d ago

11 years of development. Multiple restarts. All the while people have been saying they don't want some pirate game where you can't even get off your ship. 11 years of people telling Ubisoft all they want is a pirate game that's basically Black Flag without any of the assassin or animus stuff. Yet they still served up this trash that no one wanted, charged $70 for it, and had the balls to call it AAAA.

The Guillemot family honestly needs to be forced out of Ubisoft. They've doubled down on everything players don't like about their games, they want AI to create "rough drafts" of their stories rather than letting their writers do their jobs, and they literally do not give a shit what their playerbase actually wants. 5-6 years ago their stock was worth more than 4x what it's currently worth. The company is dying.

Jin_Sakai89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

What has happened to developers? How can you possible make a worse looking game 11 years later? It’s honestly mind boggling.

darksky89d ago

It's because the older developers were better at it. The new generation pass most of their exams by copying code from around the web so are not nearly as good at understanding what they are developing.

LucasRuinedChildhood89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

No, here's the truth:
https://www.channelnewsasia...
This was made in Singapore and it's the first game of this scale to be made there. Ubisoft would probably cancel it normally since it clearly wasn't shaping up well but they were getting government grants to try build up the industry there.

Do you really think game developers are radically different than just 10 years ago? And this game has been development since Black Flag released.

Using one crap game to trash a whole industry of developers is stupid. It's like saying "Alien Colonial Marines proves that game developers suck now."

yeahokwhatever89d ago

i know this to be at least part of the puzzle from experience.

senorfartcushion88d ago

It's the multiplayer aspect of the world. MP games look worse than single player games, period. Every comparison we keep seeing are for games like Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad and Skull and Bones. They all have multiplayer focusses.

SyntheticForm89d ago

God, I'd love a remake of Black Flag.

Yi-Long89d ago

Enough has been said about this game already. The gaming world shrugged when it was announced so many years ago, and instead of listening to all the criticisms from the community back then, Ubi just sailed on and kept making a game nobody really wanted. What a waste of money and effort.
