No way it ll look like that on consoles at least. This s high end pc footage. I dont trust Ubi 1 bit. Watch dogs still hunt me.
Thats what I kept reading lol.
Considering this is ubisoft, its going to be Watch dog in star wars and will get a massive downgrade
Not a fan of Star Wars vut this looks really good, hopefully it doesn't get downgraded like Watch Dogs did
I know that as usual this is real gameplay. Not sure if it's also the case of this game, but traditionally all gameplay reveals of the big Ubisoft games were real gameplay (in most cases for the old games, a vertical slice) running on some high end PC from some of their devs.
These PCs typically were monsters to compile or render fast games that still weren't optimized due to not being in final stages of development, while on top of that running profiling and debug stuff.
So often these PCs have an specially insane amount of RAM. I remember that the PC running the gameplay reveal demo of The Division 1 was running on a PC with 64GB of RAM, something that as I remember was nonsensical and I think wasn't available in normal commercial gaming pcs back then.
In the past games were announcing showing a vertical slice, meaning it was a super early stage of the game, where tons of optimizations were still to be done, but was their creative goal. Later, when fixing bugs or optimizing it to get a decent performance on consoles and commercial PCs some visual stuff had to be toned down or some effects cut. While at the same time, improving other things or adding other effects.
That downgrade happened specially in cases like Watchdogs, when time after announcing it they found out the real next gen console hardware specs turned out to don't be as good as they were promised, and where they also decided to also release it in WiiU.
Time after release, higher end PC hardware became more accessible to people, and with game updates they added back some stuff that had to be cut or toned down, so most of these game look better now than when they were announced.
Regarding the Star Wars and Avatar gameplay shown, I asked people working there and what it was shown it's also in-game real gameplay and cutscenees with no tricks. Unlike as happened with the games that got downgrade controversies, Avatar got its gameplay debut half a year before release, and Star Wars around a year before release.
In recent years Ubisoft focuses the last year of development of their AAA games on testing and bufixing, meaning that Star Wars or Avatar won't almost change until release. But in high end PCs, potato PCs or Series S obviously won't look like this.
Game must be a really small scale, because that looked like 60FPS to me ...
Make sure it was running on a very high end PC. I wouldn't expect 60fps for let's say Series S or potato PCs.
