14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft is currently working on two games that are part of the Tom Clancy umbrella brand, The Division and Rainbow Six: Siege, which, from what the company has revealed so far, look pretty snazzy.
However, in view of the recent controversy regarding the visual downgrade of Watch Dogs, which was further amplified by the fact that some of the technology that made the game look better on PC was actually in the game files, simply turned off, many gamers fear that the final retail builds of both of the aforementioned games will end up looking worse than the videos shown during E3 2014.
With fans in doubt of whether the gameplay vids are conclusive in any way to the quality of the upcoming games, it would be nice on Ubisoft's part to try and make up for the disappointment that it set gamers up for when the company revealed Watch Dogs, back at E3 2012.
Tom Clancy's The Division Game Director Ryan Barnard attempted to clarify some issues in an interview with YouTube personality Angry Joe, encouraging fans to keep their hopes up and not worry about the perspective of a visual downgrade, especially on PCs, where the visuals might end up even better.
"I think the problem with having an engine like Snowdrop where the graphical fidelity is so high, that of course you're going to have those concerns. You know, we're working really hard, especially this year, what we brought is the look that you'll have on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. PC might even be able to push it," he told Angry Joe when asked if the game would actually turn out looking the same when it should get released.
The first instance of Ubisoft's commitment to stop sprucing up its trailers and building unnecessary hype is the upcoming Assassin's Creed Unity, which, granted, looks pretty polished from a visual standpoint, but appears to have the rich detail shown in the trailers mirrored in the gameplay videos.
Assassin's Creed Unity will enable players to take part in the French Revolution starting on October 28, but for now the two Tom Clancy games, The Division and Rainbow Six: Siege, have no release dates other than sometime in 2015. All three titles are next-gen exclusive, which means that they will be available for PC, for Sony's PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, and for Microsoft's all-in-one entertainment system, the Xbox One.
