Latest Gameplay - very disappointing | Forums

Ubisoft...what have you done to the game?? Watching the last few gameplay videos online and...wow...the game seems to have nose dived in quality in my opinion. I had geared up to pre-order but on this face value I'll hold off until I get hands on at some point.

THIS is not the standard I was expecting at all for a game so close to release.

Heya, Quinch! Do you mind elaborating on what issues you have with the videos? It's possible I might be able to ease some of your concerns.

Graphically they've significantly depreciated since gameplay we saw previously months ago. Textures are really low, animations on the characters are poor...jerky and non-fluid. Particle effects are several generations ago in standard. Players seem to be getting suck on cover points when they didn't seem to on previous gameplays.

Placement of the UI is horrible (in particular that HUGE reload icon!).

Audio isn't as polished as before...ambient audio seems as good, its just the effects audio. Are they "place holders"?

Fire and explosive effects appear almost "pixel" in nature as well.

Discounting the people playing just poorly the general look of the game isn't as immersive or upto current PC or Console standard.

Comments?

Are these early Playstation builds?

these are some future soldiers for sure, UBI please explain, why does the night-vision just appear?
Do they have it inside their eyeballs?, beacause I can't see no equipment on their face/eyes whilst using NV.

This is so obvious and weird, you really should think about fixing it before the release.

I preordered the game but seeing this last gameplays I might regret it...

For reference. Gameplay video from THREE months ago...

...side by side, they're different games!!

@UbiKeeba - Please know that I want this game to succeed. I'm a huge fan of The Division (300+hrs) and I regularly support the game on forums and with videos etc...Its fantastic work in my opinion and I was really looking forward to Wildlands to be of the same quality at least.

I just want to know why these latest game play videos look so awful!

I wasn't impressed with the IGN videos to be honest. Polygon did a better job, but the best job so far showcasing the game video wise is AI Bluefox, and Iceycat. I actually found out a lot of what I wanted to know via those.

I'm less concerned with how they play the game but ... graphically? What version or rendition of the game is IGN and the others I listed using? Do those posted by Al Bluefox for example LOOK better, run better?

I didnt even mention the laughable character models ... yikes!

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXe...4bhY3Vi_QC0Nyg Blue's videos.

They seem to look better to me, and run better. IGN also tends to have horrible compression when they put out YT videos.

As for the laughable character models, nope, not seeing that -- especially after watching about a half-a-dozen customisation videos.
