It looks pretty good from what I could make out.

I think that's the X1 one version. If it is, we've got nothing to worry about. Looks exceptional.
Ive been following the ps4 version , this looks pretty much identical graphically. But the ps4 gets some exclusive side missions on this game.
Link? I knew about the OP's vid (it's about a week old or so). Thought it was the first direct feed footage available. Looks identical to PS4 version to boot. Add it to MGSV and BF4 on the list of games that seem to be identical. I can almost feel the stampede of the Sony fanboy backpedalling.
You got a vid posted with direct feed from both next gen consoles. Are your eyes not reliable enough for your own judgment?
I'm talking about an actual dedicated video. Not picking out some small second long clips (that might or might not be next-gen) in a larger video that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Why is that so wrong of me? One of the things I have been wanting to see in regards to the next-gen is comparisons. Because I want to see just how much has changed.

Yes, because everything there is to know about the next gen will be decided with multiplatform launch titles.
To quote Ceger, "You guys crack me up."
Well that sure is cute. That's been the assertion from the Sony camp since January. All the sudden the predominant argument/assertion/assumption made this year has conveniently evaporated. *poof*
Like I said, the backpedalling is amusing to watch. All the sudden multiplats don't count, and soon we will be hearing excuses for why the exclusives don't count either.
Soldier, if you mean you want current gen vs next gen comparisons, both of their making of vids have talked about the differences. Have you...ya know...watched them? If you mean differences between PS4/X1 versions there's no rational reason to believe any exist. We have footage of each version, direct feed, and nothing seems to look any different.
No one in their right mind is looking at launch titles to show anything substantial that either system can do. You talk about the Sony camp and fanboys and backpedaling, but I don't see it.
Some thought that there may be a difference however slight. But I haven't seen backpeddling or excuses yet.
I think many (including myself) wondered why there wasn't more footage of multiplayer games until recently. There was either PS4 footage or Xbox One footage exclusively.

Must be comfy living under that rock of yours. If you aren't making such arguments, then clearly my point wasn't directed at you, but let's not play make believe and pretend as if the prevailing 'wisdom' around the internet since January was anywhere near as passive. The predominant assumption has always been that multiplats on PS4, even from day 1, would be demonstrating utterly huge visual differences. We heard claims of 1080p vs 720p, 60fps vs 30fps...all sorts of nonsense.
The counter argument was always that X1's architecture was much mroe divorced from PC design and more complex, so ppl leaning on PC parts for guiding their intuition were only setting themselves up to look stupid. The push back from that point by Sony fans was that the architectures are both GCN and in their version of reality that means the architectures are the same (because GPU architecture is synonymous with graphics pipeline design to ppl too dim to pay attention to X1's leaked info). The conclusion ppl drew from that, and one which is still pushed to this day, is that if the architectures are the same and if PS4 was way easier to dev for and if PS4 was dramatically more powerful then it's a perfect storm for X1 multiplats to be mercilessly slaughtered in comparisons.
Obviously both machines will be far from tapped out day 1. That's got nothing to do with the arguments being levied. Never has. The claims were that everything was conspiring to expose X1 as totally incapable of being competitive visually speaking on day 1, right from the get go, and that it'd get worse as time goes on. Now all the sudden the goalposts are being moved. Now multiplats don't count and it's because MS are evil and money hatted DF, devs, pubs, etc. Or MS is secretly showing off PC versions but the REAL X1 sku looks nothing like that! Or lazy devs who betrayed their fanbase by swearing allegiance to MS. Or whatever other emotionally convenient mental gymnastics the ever creative drones come up with between now and November 22nd.
In the meantime, Sony fans are backpedalling like crazy. Multiplats? Don't count anymore...unless they favor PS4. Exclusives? Don't count since it's launch...unless it favors Killzone. In that case the victory is decisive and damning for [reasons]. What about 2014? We will see PS4 dominance! Year of the PS4! Yup...any day now. Just gotta be patient. Totally not the same bulls*** mantra the nutjob fanboys peddled with 'year of the PS3' year after year last gen! Yup...totally different! Derp.
Guys we're talking about a cross-gen game that clearly really isn't even looking that special. I'd be shocked if it didn't look exactly like the PS4 version. But probably as you can tell by now, i'm not too fond of AC anyway. Goddamn milked out franchise and instead of improving and getting some truly new cool stuff over the years...it's just the same old s***. Look at GTA V and compare that to GTA IV, oh my! But compare AC1 to AC3 or AC4......way too little differences, dumbed down/made to be even more easy. Ubi,f*** off with AC already. A franchise with wasted potential and i can already see it happening for Watch_Dogs.
Well I certainly remember Sony fans claiming that the launch PS4 games were going to blow the X1 away, and that 50% power differential would be seen right away...now they are saying that launch titles don't show anything substantial...certainly looks like backpeddling to me.
I guess I just don't take that crap serious (re: PS4 50% moar power). Anyone that's paid the least bit of attention to the game industry knows that multiplats are developed for the least common denominator.
Sorry AC IV thread; please, carry on...

Ok i take it back, most of the time it looks quite good. Basically like AC3 but looking incredibly crisp. It however isn't 100% sure yet if that's Xbox One footage. Look around 02:41 and you see they got AC4 minimalized and it's in Windows.
I think some don't really believe that. It's kind of like how people say that the real beauty of a woman is on the inside, yet there are still shallow jerks out there who might say it, but not really take it seriously. They are in it for looks.
Silly equivalency I know, but it feels like that sometimes.
Wii U then?
Logical people know that type of stuff...fanboys are seldom logical though.. but yes ACIV thread.
I am actually starting to take a fair interest in this game, originally my interest was in W_D and not ACIV, but lately they have started to switch.
I think it will be about 2-3 years before we really see what the Xbox One can do outside of a few exclusives along the way. By that time titles like Halo 5 will be out & also the 360 will no longer be the system in the background that they are still centering around from the "it still needs a port" mentality from next-gen backwards to this current gen.
It's already been stated that Call of Duty is still using it's old engine only scaled up because they need to make current gen ports. Two years from now, who knows. It's rumored that Infinity Ward made this Ghosts as a side spin-off then Sledgehammer games might be making Modern Warfare 4 for next year. With that, it would finally give TreyArch a year off to make an entirely new engine. (something they couldn't do these past 5-8 years because of Activision's strict "it's gotta come out every year" business structure)
So, as you can see, that is an example of how 2-3 years from now visuals might take a step up once the current gen is out of the picture similar to how visuals stepped up this last gen the same way.

I'm not sure if the difference between AC3 and AC4 will be huge and groundbreaking, but the difference between AC1 and AC3 or 4 is astronomical.
I'll be that guy who says it's the PC version, mostly because I doubt either version will have anywhere near as nice AA as that video shows. The AA in that video is a step up from the PS4 videos we've seen, definitely much more than simple post processes. Well that and the mouse cursor that's present in some of the footage.
Or alternatively we can go with the angle that the XBO version has better AA than the PS4 version.

Graphically probably yes, but gameplay wise AC3 was more and more dumbed down from AC1. I'm gonna mention GTA again. GTA V improved on pretty much anything that wasn't too good in GTA IV. The shooting mechanics, the melee combat, the animations, the physics, the driving, oh my the driving! Activities, the three protagonist thing and the much better variety of missions. If AC could have been similar in how things have improved and changed for the better...i'd still love AC. but in my book they ruined it.
Yeah I think its PC too. The AA indeed is quite impressive, on the other hand...we're having next-gen systems here, i'd expect some decent enough AA. But in the video it can be seen around 2 minutes or so that it seems to run in Windows. Not long now, and we'll find out.
That's funny, I feel completely the opposite. I feel like the graphics didn't change all that much, but the game play difference is night and day.
