Pictures say a thousand words:

It could also be that someone lowered the lighting option on purpose to make it look like Ubisoft did it.
Can anyone who unfortunately bought the game confirm?

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.

Bloody hell Ubisoft. EA had a bad run last year, but it wasn't at all as bad as Ubisoft. I think I've seen something about Ubisoft doing something bad every week for the past 6 months.

People want better graphics, when their HW can't handle it, they complain, when the graphics are lowered, they complain. GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER PEOPLE.

I don't see the sarcasm tag...

 

AC:U had many bugs and performance issues(even on consoles) because Ubisoft was incompetent, not because people do not have good Hardware...  TB had a Haswell extreme CPU + dual 980s(well above the recommended specs) and he STILL can't keep this game at 1080p 60fps+ at max settings, and this game does not look nearly good enough to justify that kind of performance on that kind of hardware...

I have the game on pc, and i think i saw 1 bug, where 1 woman came up from the floor, and that's it, also i was playing with the settings on high, minimum filters and 1080p at above 40fps with a 7950 and a 3570k.

 

So no, it's not sarcasm, i know other people with a better pc that would tell me that the game runs almost perfect with the last patch.

 

 

I really don't understand the hate towards ubisoft this time, the game needs a little bit of better optimization for pc.

 

The game looks good, and to look good you need hardware, or what, you want the graphics to keep improving and you to keep playing at the same quality with the same hardware? Stop spreading this made up hate for AC Unity, it runs like shit on consoles, on pc is fine if you have high-end graphics card. All ubi needs to do is to optimize the game so you can run the game with a mid-end graphics card like a 760, a 280

2 things : 

  • Unity is displaying square, triangle, circle and X on PC instead ABXY ? Never encountered this myself. I got some Dualshock 3 and no Xbox controller so that's cool :)... Or suspicious ! :P 
  • I won Unity in a giveaway and didn't play it yet... I'm still waiting for the game to be fixed before even trying to play it. Looks like I got some waiting to do... if I ever play the damn game xP

Don't know why I read this, Assassin's Creed is boring to me.

The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.

What other people?

 

You don't understand the hate towards Ubisoft yet you just posted the reason why we hate Ubisoft...

 

The game looks bad now that they lowered settings for you to trick you into thinking they fixed the performance issues.

All ubi needs to do is to optimize the game so you can run the game with a mid-end graphics card like a 760, a 280

Which they didn't do.

Also, for me the game looks just the same, with just less lightning effects, i hope some1 can tell me somewere where a big difference can be seen, because i look at the floor, the walls, the clothes, they are all the same, just with more lightning on the older one.

Actually, this piece of shit game stutters and glitches on extremely high-end hardware, because Ubisoft overloaded the draw call pipeline in DirectX.

 

The responsibility is 50% on Microsoft and 50% on Ubisoft.

 

And let me tell you one freaking thing

 

CUSTOMERS SHOULD NEVER STOP COMPLAINING

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I agree with the last part, but this is on console, people on PC shouldn't complain about this untill the patch is on pc, all i see is a major lightning downgrade, appart from that the game looks the same.

Yes they draw less light source to lower the load on the system...

You saw it.

Yet you say you don't see the different.

What makes you think everyone only care about PC?

If major lighting downgrade is on console, that most likely means ubisoft didn't find good enough way to improve performance for any system.

Well i'm starting to think people want magic, they want the game to look exactly the same, and run 10x times better, with no graphics quality loss or anything like that.

 

What do you do on a pc when the game runs bad? You lower the settings, it's what ubi did on PS4.

Most people clearly don't understand this.

Realistic lighting is probably one of the more largest under appreciated parts of newer games. From just toning down the lighting on the PS4 they can gain performance but the difference is highly noticeable.
