It honestly looks really good but I'm only sceptical since it's a ubisoft game. I really don't like their open world checklist formula that makes games feel like a chore to play.

I wish Ubisoft would go for a more linear semi open world structure like the GOW games, personal I think that is the best balance.

Get rid of all the other filler and bloat
It'll probably get repetitive fast.

As soon as I see "accessible, fun, and action packed as possible" I switch off, Maybe let the consumers decide what is fun and action packed instead of Ubisoft devs and focus testers. Anyways I know what I am spending my money on in august and september and this ain't it, with the excel sheet worth of various editions ubisoft is sure to release it will turn off more people

I couldn't see any relevant difference between the ray reconstruction on and off...

EDIT: though I did watch it on my 12" tablet.

There is a difference but do we really need all this resource hogging stuff for what appears to be a tiny difference? I don't know, all this new stuff seems like a waste of resources to me.

???

What you're seeing here is not the difference between raytracing and the absence of it, you are looking at the difference between raytracing with and without ray reconstruction, and the difference in performance cost between the two is negligible, as seen here:


It's the raytracing itself that incurs the heavy performance cost you're referring to.

EDIT2: On my 4K 32" monitor I could see that the reflections seem to move around a bit in the results without ray reconstruction.
Though this is really easy to miss. I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for the rectangles they put in there.

Ubisoft kicked off the show with a brand new look at Star Wars Outlaws gameplay with a trailer and actual gameplay ahead of its August 30 release. Over 10 minutes of gameplay was shown along with nearly four minutes of new looks via the trailer.

Trailer looked better than before. I still think this should have had a character creator, no “cute” pet, and a little more darkness/grittyness.
