Hey but at least it's 60fps which is the most important thing right?! What was that? Nobody cares? Okay then....
It's cross-gen and it shows. I don't know what it is about Ubisoft games but they always look so stiff.
Hmmm...The story set up plays out fine...I am just not impressed with the visuals so far. I wonder if the Deep Dive vid is even representative of how the game will look on any system, including my PC...
I feel like I need to see a side by side comparison video between Odissey and Valhalla to understand why so many seem to say the game looks terrible. I feel like it looks similar to Odissey, which was pretty good, is that the issue? Is the criticism that the game doesn't seem to have evolved much in graphical fidelity, rather than it actually looks that bad?
The sound design seems buggy and the entire direction of the cutscene feels really awkward. I wonder if the day 1 patch will fix the audio (assuming something is indeed missing) and make it feel more natural.
2020 was the year where I finally set reasonable expectations for a new AC title and I am very, very glad I did so.
This looks like the definition of "wait for sale."

Correct. This isn't the next-gen version.
A lot of content for review is tied to release dates and content won't be available until the launch date.
Again there is no way this is the Xbox one version. It is running 60FPS, they cap the framerate in the xbox one/ps4 version of the game. This is the Xbox Series X version I'm assuming using a review code.
A reminder of how AC Unity looks, a game that released in 2014...
To be fair, Odyssey isn't even the best looking AC game this gen. That crown would go to Unity and Odyssey imo.

They need to show footage of the game looking like this. so far the gameplay has looked pretty current gen, rather than even cross gen to me - 60 fps aside which is a nice bump.
Yes, it is kinda sad that a 2014 game looks considerably more impressive than a ""nextgen"" one in 2020
Even models and animations are far better
I get what you're going for here but 2 points:
- This game did not run 4k 60 when it released in 2014 so not a good comparison
- The video of Valhalla is 1080P, take a look at the Deep dive trailer to really see how this game looks in 4k
So is this without the Series X update? I mean if they have the retail XSX copy of the game, they don't need the update...
Remeran: not a single piece of live gameplay footage released from this game yet has looked like the Deep Dive trailer.

Exactly: Last of Us 1 & 2; Horizon Zero Dawn; God of War; Red Dead Redemption; Spider-Man; Castlevania - all tripe with a main character with a tragic background. Not an original idea in the bunch.
from what i've seen horizon facials are generation ahead of ubisoft potato baked facials animations
Will Ubisoft ever release an open world game without dreadfully compressed audio? If I have to go through another generation hearing those tin-can footsteps or cassette recording voice work, I'll lose my fucking mind.
I'll wait until I am able to play it. I don't expect games to look truly next gen until we mostly ditch current gen. Maybe 2022
Looks like Odyssey but not as vibrant, which I guess makes sense because this video is all snow-covered woods. I'm not panicking yet. I never expected a gross gen game to be the mind-blowing graphical showcase for new hardware.
this looks so curated, there is a cut every 3 seconds or so. all the jank seemed to be edited out.
i consider continuous gameplay footages to be much more representative of what you'll get
I'm reviewing the console. This is not the next-gen.
If it is, this is likely a leaked copy without a day one patch.
we are just sure this isn't patched, because the next gen patch will only be available on nov 10th.
I'm sorry but this is an awful comparison. Unity was not cross-gen. Compare it to Black Flag instead.
That looks like a step down, visually. Some of those textures look crazy low-res and the lighting is nothing like in the deep dive trailer, for example.
Pet peeve I guess but it's kinda annoying to me that the shrubbery straight up clips through the character with barely any interaction. I mean, come on now.

Good to hear! Even with the cuts in the deep dive footage, this looks a decent step down from that visually.
Lol, but what do you know? 😂
Thanks for your input, honestly. People are so quick to dismiss a game, it's tragic.
So you're saying that the Xbox one version of this game is uncapped? I find that extremely interesting considering no other AC game has been uncapped since Unity. If so, why do you think they'd do that?
It could well be that it is built so if the xbox one version is put in a series x it simply runs in a 60fps compatibility mode but its still the last gen version, if this is 60fps, I can only view on my phone.
Glad to hear next gen looks better.
