Incompetent Ubisoft
Nice
Night shots look way too dark but other than that nice.
I find it hilarious that a single, unpaid guy can do better than an entire studio with development experience and all the resources they need.
Those road and water textures look REALLY nice.

most of the shaders were already in the game files
Feels a bit more like 2014

Why would they [I]not[/I] make them available on PC?
It would be too obvious how much are current gen consoles already behind?
Waiting for "GRAPHICS UPGRADE" DLC?
That third picture is just ridiculous, however. He did state that the lighting changes are a WIP, so hopefully that gets better.
Ok water and street textures looks really impressive, but that makes me wonder, if the goddamn files are all IN the game, why are they unaccessible to people by default, even to those who have the 3gb gpu power to fully harness them and select 'super ultra turbo' settings? What went wrong, where, and how? It's mind boggling.
Also some random guy doing in 2 weeks a 1000 people's-5months work, ubi made a fool out of itself twice now.
The second pic looks crazily real with the boat.
When will people realise that constant heavy DOF is stupid and impractical? It just looks ridiculous.

Just like real life!*

Are there any videos?
super ultra quality DLC $19.95
It boggles my mind why wouldn't they ship with the non console nerfed shaders already enabled on the PC.
Some comparison pics would be handy.

this
as someone fairly badly shortsighted, the lame fake depth of field blur modders seem intent on having in every game ever really annoys me because it's like I'm not wearing my glasses even when I am.
things out of focus irl aren't just blurred.
I think the DoF is supposed to simulate a movie-like camera quality, as if the game's camera is focused on aiden and whatever is in a 10 yard radius around him
cool in theory, fucking stupid in execution
I have no idea how or why, but this makes the game run better for me. Had slight stuttering on High before, can now run it on Ultra.
the depth of field is simulating a camera lens
which is pretty dumb
It's Ubisoft Montreal, they're not exactly known for their team cooperation.
Why would you put DoF on? In pictures it can look good, in motion it looks awful.
Knowing this, and after the whole female character bullshit for AC:Unity, I finally realize what a worthless company Ubisoft is.
[QUOTE=JoonazL;45119718]the depth of field is simulating a camera lens

I don't even think that there is any real lens with DoF like that. Looks unrealistic.
But how does it look in motion?
[QUOTE=Winner;45119763]god damn it looks like actual photos or concept art
I don't even own the game but I want it now[/QUOTE]
you can right now.
you know...
Do me a favor and not read the first 5 pages of that guru thread. Two modders eye-scratching eachother over who was the initial creator.
Whatever, the mod looks wonderful, and you should check latest thread pages for upgrade links, since it's still a WiP.
