At least ubi arnt totally without shame (but then again maybe its just to sway public opinion)
Yannis Mallat from Ubisoft has sent out a letter of apology to gamers that purchased Assassin's Creed Unity. To help compensate for the sorry state of affairs that was the game's launch, Ubisoft will be giving out the Dead Kings DLC for free. Season pass holders will be able to get a free game. The list of free games includes new ones like Far Cry 4 and The Crew.

That is good.
Wait wait wait... I may be a bit behind here, but 50,000 draw calls per frame!? Seriously?
What on earth are they doing? Sure it is a detailed world, but with how aggressive their LOD'ing appears to be, and how well suited a bunch of their scene is to instancing (crowds being the obvious one) - even shadowing will be cheapish given the static sun direction... Seriously? What are they doing?
I'd start getting uncomfortable with ~ 8,000.

Static Sun direction???DOesn't the game have realtime TOD change? is it like INfmaouys now, with fixed TODs?
Yes, as best I can tell it is baked for fixed times of day like infamous. You'd be surprised how many games do this (DA:I appears to be the same)
Makes shadow casting potentially *much* cheaper, as you can do many things to optimize rendering.
You could have two shadow maps - one for the static world that updates infrequently, and one for the dynamic world. As you move around, just shift the static shadow every so often and render new geometry at the edge of the projection.
You can also be much more aggressive in determining what parts of the scene will always be in shadow, etc - so for potentially large parts of the scene (interiors, etc) you can skip expensive per-pixel sun light/shadowing calculations entirely - which would likely allow for additional detail or local lights.
Also will allow for much more aggressive culling of shadow casting geometry, finally if you are really keen you can generate shadow proxy meshes that contain the combined world geometry needed to cast a world shadow, processed to only include first caster triangles (basically the outer hull silhouette).

yup, DAI seems to be the same in that regard.

Love the skin shader on the characters. in the custscene. It's by far the best I' ve seen to date IMO.
the secondary characters model look really well detailled. Looks as if they re even more detailed than Arno lol.
facial animation looks nice too....AC Unity is just one of the best graphical showcase of 2014.

On a jacked up pc maybe, but on consoles not even close to the top 10. The general low res 900p nature and bad iq absolutely kill any noteworthy graphical blims it packs in the game. It is a crime for any open world game to operate at 900p or lower on a 1080p tv, it just burns us eyes precious..it burrrns.

Even with IQ problems it still looks great. Particularly the lighting and shading.

Argh! I was shopping in Tesco yesterday - I've never thought to check out the games section.
