[Freeman76]

Visually stunning, not sure about the gameplay though. Far Cry in Pandora?

 

[Robb]

I have no interest in this but they've done a great job capturing the style. Looks solid visually.

 

[Zuzu]

Looks pretty good but we need to see what the open world gameplay consists of a bit more. Hopefully it won't be full with 'outpost' clearing.

 

[analog_future]

Visually stunning

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Looks pretty good but we need to see what the open world gameplay consists of.

Basically it looks like far cry with the avatar skin...

 

[Freeman76]

I think you need his glasses if you disagree with that. Dunno how anyone can see that trailer and not be impressed with the job they have done aesthetically.

 

[Esca]

Sweet I'll get it in January for half off.

 

[Msamy]

 

[Batiman]

It looks alright. Not really huge on avatar though

 

[SlimySnake]

Mind blown. I guess Ps5 can do next gen graphics after all and Spiderman isnt the best we will get this gen.

 

[Umbasaborne]

That looks excellent, can't wait!

 

[Kusarigama]

Avatar skinned FarCry . Was hoping this was going to be a third person view game.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Mind blown. I guess Ps5 can do next gen graphics after all and Spiderman isnt the best we will get this gen.

Who are the retards who think this, real talk?

 

[SlimySnake]

I wont name names but it was in the spiderman thread.

 

[Noxxera]

Funny how you guys say Far Cry when its clearly Horizon

 

[DeepEnigma]

I wont name names but it was in the spiderman thread.

Ah yes. Brand/Platform fanatics.

 

[kiphalfton]

This is Ubisoft we're talking about here.

Adjust your expectations accordingly.

I watched the poor stream version. Gonna have to see the 4k version now. If there's someone hard to please in terms of graphics, it's SlimySnake . And if Slimy is praising then it must be something. Let's see.

 

[ComputerBlue]

That will be such an incredible world to explore, really looking forward to it. I just hope it doesn't play like far cry, kind of disappointed it's in first person.

 

[reksveks]

looks great and boring sadly personally

 

[DonJorginho]

This looks phenomenal visually, finally we have reached the point where consoles can accurately match the big screen in terms of their visual fidelity.

Generic Ubi hogwash or not, I'm more than happy to put up with that for the opportunity to explore the breathtaking world of Pandora.

 

[Hugare]

It looks really great, imo

The vegetation density shows that its only possible on next gen

Its basicaly Far Cry + Horizon, but with a few twists

Looks promissing

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

Day fucking 1. A game about ancient Earth just like the movie? I can't wait to see what other hidden info they add just in the game. Esoterical facts.

On topic of the game itself, yeah I will be buying the physical and probably the PC version to just to support. Graphics and gameplay nextgen type of energy

 

[LordBlodgett]

Wow, this looks great! Is this their own engine? If so I expect that it was re-worked for this game, and that we might finally start to see some really good looking come out of Ubisoft.....Hopefully they can bring the gameplay too!

 

[DonJorginho]

Yep it's called Snowdrop if I remember correctly?

 

[Zuzu]

Is it 30fps?

 

[TheBROgamer]

Will this game feature a WatchDogs equivalent downgrade, come release time?

 

[Robochobo]

"Mix of gameplay, cutscenes and in-engine footage. Not all images shown are in-game."
Yeah I'll wait till we get a gameplay overview. Ubisoft will not bullshot me ever again.

 

[SlimySnake]

This is Ubisoft we're talking about here.

I fully expected a downgrade from the 2021 in-engine trailer. But honestly, if there is a downgrade, it isnt massive. The tech is still there. The foliage looks insane. The world looks like a painting.

Character rendering isnt as good as horizon so if they were going to fake it, they would not have had those fugly looking characters.

 

[LordBlodgett]

Yep it's called Snowdrop if I remember correctly?

Oh right, the one they built for Division. Wow, guess it looks good in more open world settings too.

 

[Metnut]

Looks really good but i just finished Horizon FW and this looks a little similar. Probably going to hang until 2024 to check this out.

 

[Darius87]

graphics are impressive but should be 3rd person also gameplay is to generic.

 

[DeepEnigma]

"Mix of gameplay, cutscenes and in-engine footage. Not all images shown are in-game."

Uh oh!

 

[staticshock]

Don't bust yet. Wait until you see the downgrade.

 

[Elios83]

It looks *next gen*, hopefully it doesn't play like Far Cry.

 

[SlimySnake]

Wow, this looks great! Is this their own engine? If so I expect that it was re-worked for this game, and that we might finally start to see some really good looking come out of Ubisoft.....Hopefully they can bring the gameplay too!

Snow drop engine. It was used in Division, Mario and Rabbids, southpark and the upcoming Star Wars game to be shown later in the conference. I expect that to look insane too.

You remember The Division shown, then released.

The "Not all images shown are in-game." has me a bit tentative.

 

[Mr Moose]

Looks like Far Cry with blue skin and something you can fly on. Looks fine.

 

[Max_Po]

looks fantastic.

 

[ungalo]

I think this kind of adaptation fits well with Ubisoft, they're right to make this and Star Wars.

It shows that even games with very standard game design can attract attention if they have an interesting world (we saw that with Hogwarts, which is a game that could have been done by Ubisoft and just as well i think). People are just sick of Far Cry as a universe at the moment.

And since i think they suck at creating new worlds right now but they still have very good art designers, that's a good choice to pick preexisting licenses to have something fresh.

 

[GHG]

This actually looks amazing.

I know I know, it's avatar set in a Ubisoft open world game. But I'm so here for Far Cry: Avatar if they actually pull this off.

I'm not going to get too excited, but I'm excited.

 

[hyperbertha]

I know it's going to be far cry in an avatar coating, but I wanna play this far cry

 

[DonJorginho]

Looks like Far Cry with blue skin and something you can fly on. Looks fine.

Gameplay wise? Definitely.

But in terms of the visuals? Aside from some of the navi character models it's easily one of the only truly phenomenal looking titles we have seen so far this generation.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Funny how you guys say Far Cry when its clearly Horizon

Funny how you say Horizon when it's clearly Pandora.

 

[hyperbertha]

Looks really good but i just finished Horizon FW and this looks a little similar. Probably going to hang until 2024 to check this out.

This looks a notch above forbidden west visually. Fingers crossed it actually remains that way till release.

 

[DonJorginho]

Funny how you guys say Far Cry when its clearly Horizon

Ah yes, as James Cameron definitely ripped off Horizon when creating Avatar back in the late 2000s

 

[adamsapple]

Looks pretty but all I see is Far Cry in that game design.

 

[Noxxera]

Ah yes, as James Cameron definitely ripped off Horizon when creating Avatar back in the late 2000s

Whats your point I'm wrong and its Far Cry ripped? LMAO.

 

[HighPoly]

I prefer to wait Far Cry 7, cause if AVATAR could be this pretty, imagine a next Far Cry game, reproducing real life world.
