An overview of Ubisofts downgraded games (video)
Hah, intersting compilation video. This comparison shows differences inbetween E3 demos and the retail version of recent Ubisoft games.
I encourage you to not only focus on textures or lighting, but also on animation, level design, assets, physics, and sound. Recorded in 1080p at max settings on PC with a controller. Check it out:

I bought Far Cry 4 for few bucks on Steam sale, and i don't complain
Made me laugh greatly, and reasures me that not buying ubicrap games is the right way for me personally.

Oh well, thankfully i never pre-order or buy at launch these days, so i am free of getting caught out on this stuff, but bummer for the pre-order crowd. lol

Could have gotten it for free, still politely declined
But you're right, on a budget things look different. Not much to complain about graphical fidelity if you don't pay 60€ launch price, the pricing argument changes things greatly (or if the game is already a year old etc.)

This is scary stuff but also well known.
Though I'm sure they wouldn't downgrade Rayman

I've already made a conscious decision to boycott any game designed to run on anything other than PC only.

Sadly, that will leave you with almost no games besides indie ones. And there are still worthy 'big' titles out there, too. But I know what you mean... it's just the environment has changed... PC is the overflow of console sales these days, instead of a seperate branch in the gaming business.
I bet you won't hear the words 'we won't bring this to consoles' anytime soon.

False advertising, they could be sued.

we all know E3 is maxed out PC graphics + hidden options. If the other footage is console i would say that you can't compare both.
We all know consoles can't run these games at what ever E3 is showing lol.

At the beginning it says that all the actual final gameplay footage was recorded on a high end pc with everything maxed and a controller, time code 0:24.

I doubt even the PC versions in those videos were ever real or looked anywhere like that in real time, videos always looked ike they were totally staged.

I agree with everything you guys said!
^ Disgustingly deceptive ^
I want to add that even with the downgrades, the performance of Ubisoft games are really bad.
Since they play tricks on us, play tricks on them:
Buy their game at a discounted(downgraded) price on "key sites"!

This dramatic downgrades are just because of consoles. PCs could probably run E3 games, but consoles can't, not even in a dream. So to protect console market witch is big they downgrade PC versions too, so the console fans wouldn't complain about the epic difference.
Today we would have much, much better graphics in games if it weren't for consoles witch are suffocating graphic's progress on PCs.

Bashing? Where was it?
BTW, I agree with the others - there shouldn't be such practices and if there are - they must be punished. That being said though, even The Witcher 3 had that, but it's still a beautiful game(+ oh, that amazing soundtrack).
