How does this make you feel?
I wana hear it from both pcfats and consoletards
>>323040485
>downgrade
One of the few /v/ triggerwords
>>323040485
Ubisoft does this to all their games nothing new
I am a bit concerned that I accept this as the norm now.
Because console is shit but people are still stupid enough to buy them
>>323040485
Unsurprised. Not that I was going to buy it, look generic as fuck.
I'm surprised anyone is excited for this knowing it's a ubisoft game.
If you still care about ubisoft games you need your head checked.
>>323040485
Just a reason to boycott
Pretty shit, but the game was console exclusive in the first place.
What really bothers me is that enthusiasts who are willing to pay money for performance aren't getting the experience they paid for since consoles can't handle it. Do they seriously think console players will switch to PC due to graphics? They still need to pay the price, it isn't given.
>Everyone who plays video games knows that PC's offer the superior graphical capabilities.
>Developers still dumb down the PC release graphics to fall in-line with consoles.
I don't get it. Even as a console gamer I don't get.
>>323040485
I will be getting it on console because it will be hacked to shit on PC.
I have friends on PS4 and the general experience of these games are better felt on console.
Ubisoft games can barely run on PCs even after being downgraded, god forbid they actually had all the fancy graphics shown in trailers.
>>323040485
>a few things
Kek. There is an hour long video showing xbox gameplay somewhere: game looks like absolute shit, nothing like reveal trailers. Literally everything looks fucking horrible, from shooting to animations.
>>323042213
They code the game like shit to lower framerates to give the impression that the game is graphically demanding. But actually devs are just lazy fucks.
sasuga ubisoft wwwwwwwwwww
>>323040485
It hurts, but not cancelling my preorder. Game looks epic as fuck.
>>323040485
At least they're honest this time.
>>323042450
You seriously want to endorse this kind of bullshit?
>>323042180
Ha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
You're an idiot.
>>323042180
The first one, you have a point. The second one is just audiofag-tier delusion
When will you just be able to upgrade your console?
You can do it with harddrives already, just let people plug in new graphics cards or shit for it.
>tfw idort
I can't lose nigga
>>323040485
I think everyone knows since 2007 when Crysis came out as a PC exclusive that consoles literally hold back videogames. Obviously this only applies to multiplat tittles but this is something that everyone should already know and simply deal with it, because it's not going to change.
That said, it's a very different thing to accept that multiplat tittles wont be as visually impressive as PC exclusives than to have a developer promise you a game that looks like X and then get one that looks like Y. That's what happened with say, Dark Souls 2 and the Witcher 3, when they were announced they looked amazing and then they didn't deliver and later backpedaled by making excuses and justifications on the spot for what they did.
In this particular case we are being told before release(I assume i know nothing of this game) that the PC version isn't going to look as good as it could so what is there to say about it? Nothing.
Also the division looks like a shitty game regardless of grafics so i don't give a single fuck.
>>323040485
I just cancelled my pre-order.
What a shame. ESO sucked a fat dick once you got to level 50/veteran 1+, and now this shit.
Thanks developers, you're doing a great job.
>>323040485
expected
also reminder that The Division is going to be Car Door Closing Simulator 2016
>>323040485
>we will also be using online servers and have to produce a synchronization that higher graphics add to the latency
Since when did graphical fidelity have anything to do with latency
>Ubisoft
After watch dogs is anyone surprised?
>>323040485
Don't care about Ubishit.
>>323040485
I don't care, most PC users have a toaster anyway and consoles are shit so it doesn't matter
>>323042649
Yeah you're losing, if you get it on console it looks a little worse than PC. If you get it on PC it won't look nearly as good as it could of.
>>323042594
older consoles had RAM upgrades.
>>323040485
>this guy is still trying to shill his shitty blog
Just fuck off already
>>323042721
Are you implying anyone at Ubisoft actually knows how that shit works?
This game always looked so boring and uninspired, and the fake E3 demos almost made me puke.
1. don't give a single fuck about ubi and the division
2. despite that, that quote applies to pretty much every other multiplatform game and is one of the reasons the gaming industry in its current form needs to die
>>323042713
they've cut Car Door Closing Animation already
>>323042785
So basically everyone loses?
>>323040485
It's actually one of the last pics that made me change side. After seeinf this one and a few others I thought "That's it, I'm done!"
A few months later I was building my first PC with a friend's help. I don't regret it.
Now I kinda hate console users, but I'm pretty sure I would have never ever done the transition if not for being on /v/. So I can't really blame normies for their ignorance and not wanting to take the step.
>shitty one man blog
>"we won't revear our source dev"
>implying any dev would care to talk to that moron, or even leak shit there.
How to spot bait 101
I think the people who think that the whole "consoles hold back gaming" is just a meme are retarded and i think that's never going to change because consoles are more popular with normies and casuals and that's 99% of the population on earth.
Picture related is what big companies think about it and since it's not going to change it's what you should think too.
>>323040485
>instead of doing that one thing that'll make the game better for everybody, optimize it, we're just going to be lazy and not learn anything by downgrading
>so not only will it run more poorly and look worse on PC, we're also going to leave it so it runs more poorly and looks worse on consoles
>>323040485
But this was published like a year ago.
So yup, welcome to the party, one year later.
>>323042665
I am completely fine with crysis games not existing. They are a terrible idea from a business viewpoint and really, for most gamers.
>>323043070
Yes and we (consumers) are to blame because we endorse this by buying it. The very least we should do is complain rather than shitposting golden faces.
>>323040485
>westernshit
Oh boy.
And some people say consoles dont hold back gaming
The last visually impressive game Ubisoft made was AssCreed Unity and that was a catastrophe that didn't run well on any hardware, so really, they should stick to making games that look like PS2 games because otherwise they wont be playable by anyone on any system anywhere.
>>323042785
>could of.
NO
>>323043096
I can imagine being ignorant (like I was), but it's just sad when they fall for the lies and cling to them.
>>323043415
Do you really think it couldn't run well? There many other games with great graphics that run on toasters. The Serious Sam games are a great example
>>323043658
For starters, remove mobile games, undeage, since they generally don't have the money to build a pc, and casuals, and you already lost a lot of people in the gaming community. The rest could be easoly shown the truth I'm sure, but again, you need people to show it to you. If not for /v/ that "opened my eyes" and the friend that helped me with the PC, I would have stayed with console.
Honestly, doing the "transition" alone is fucking hard.
But yeah, it's terrible to see one of your hobby slowly taken apart by people who like it as well, and don't even realise what they are doing.
Already pre-ordered the game for 35 bucks on cdkeys
You guys should at least give the beta a try, you can just pre-order the game on amazon and get a beta key within minutes, then cancel the order.
I enjoyed the xbone alpha so I'm waiting to see how good the pc version is
Bullshit like this hasn't surprised me since 2008.
What's annoying is this is gonna be one of those things that reflects what vydia journalism should be. And how this story won't, but should, explode.
>being French
I hope none of you guys do this.
>>323046346
Why is Piglet there, senpai?
>>323047404
To cover the gamertag of the person breaking the alpha nda
>>323041253
Every bug publisher does it... Can't wait when pic related will get downgraded to shit and /v/ gets buttblasted.
>>323040485
Feels good man
>>323047517
Of course, nobody likes false advertisement
>>323040485
Pc here
and i don't care for i don't purshase ubi soft titles anymore.
>>323047493
>some kind of post-apocalyptic zombie shooter
>streetlights still work
>>323048494
No zombies
Shit just went down in new york, thugs and criminals took over, you're sent in to reclaim the city
>>323040485
>How does this make you feel?
Makes me feel really fucking sad. Like, I knew they are going to do this, as they do it every time, but I hoped I get to goat over it when they go full damage control and denial on release. They took even that from me.
Ubisoft truly allows no fun, not in their games and now not at their expense.
Exactly what I always said. And to think there's even people on this board who refuse to believe consoles are damaging the industry.
>>323047517
False advertisement is illegal
>>323040485
>we already took out quite a lot of screenspace reflections
That seems like a pretty odd statement. My understanding is that screenspace reflections are a post processing effect that is applied to all objects based on their roughness (smooth vs. blurry reflections) and doesn't have a performance hit based on scene complexity. (so the amount of objects doesn't matter) Only increasing the rendering resolution or rays per pixel has a performance hit.
>>323050017
It's not when the devs tell you that they downgraded like 2 days before release when they've baited everyone already, then they have an excuse because you bought it anyway and you have nothing to complain about.
I don't give a shit about downgrades. Functional, playable and smooth is more important than being all flashy.
Graphicsfags are playing games for totally the wrong reason

As I thought. Screen space reflections have a minimal performance loss with scene complexity.
So why would he talk about removing some SSR as a way of improving performance?
>>323040485
I don't think you can downgrade Division's gameplay anymore, unless they somehow scrapped everything and just made a badly programmed pong.
>>323050614
Do you enjoy living in the past
>>323040485
Graphic downgraded? Main feature of the pc was the engine and the graphics
I won't be buying it till someone find a fix like watchdogs
I already played the console version and the blurry textures are awful
>>323040485
It was going to be downgraded anyways, even if it was PC exclusive, because no one would have been able to run what they showed at E3.
>>323040485
i wont purchase it becasue of uplay alone
and i already guessed they'd pull this meme with downgrading.
>>323051329
No but I've never had to quit playing morrowind to download a mod to change how it looks. Crap graphics don't bother me, I feel like the demand for prettier games stomped out a lot of devs.
>>323051750
that's pretty much a lie, when the same shit with watch dogs happend it was removed purely because consoles couldn't run them.
either you're a marketeer or you're talking about things you dont know.
>>323040485
It's okay when CDPR does it
>>323052143
It never is okay, and i'm still upset about the console excuse for witcher 3
>>323052089
Do you remember the graphics the first E3 demo had?
No way those could scale back to run on most PCs.
Game developers can't make games just for people with high end gaming PCs, or they won't make a cent.
>>323052418
You can easily toggle those things off for the plebs
but no, they remove them to make sure nobody has a better looking game.
and that pretty much is everyone that owns a 780 / 290 or later graphic card.
>>323052510
I don't think you understand scale-ability.
You need to axe some of the high end, to make the lower end go lower.
Remember that the vast majority of PC users use toasters. Gamer PC setups are a tiny minority.
>>323052143
The problem is that W3 is still the best looking game.
>>323053049
I don't agree on that end.
Witcher 3 looks OKAY. There really isn't enough detail to make it be "best looking", because it suffers from the same skyrim does, and that is a huge load of empty.
>>323053049
GTA 5 and far cry 4 look better
>>323053412
pwahhahahaha
>>323053461
>pwaha
What kind of retard laugh is that
game looks boring as fuck
>>323042213
>MOM!
>>323050329
This is why preordering is bad
>>323040485
Feels good knowing I am helping fuck over pc gamers.
Indifferent, I don't expect much from AAA titles. Lies and shitty games are par for the course, so why would I be surprised at this now?
>>323051889
I still play cs 1.6 and quake live. Asking for better graphics in 2016 doesn't make you a graphic whore, its just logical.
