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:

Didn't try to bash you, I was surprised myself that I could actually hear the difference. Not that my hearing is bad (it's actually above average for my age), but that a yt video and my work laptop's speakers could bring it out!

Bashing? Where was it?

Don't worry - it is a habit of mine to apologize for mistake, that was noted

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).

Made me laugh greatly, and reasures me that not buying ubicrap games is the right way for me personally.

I bought Far Cry 4 for few bucks on Steam sale, and i don't complain

And i though Watch dogs looked good, until i saw what that video. lol

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
