Hello,
with the new Assassin's Creed part you have to scold, but one must also praise.
On one hand, I find the way how to be inserted into the history of the game very well and it's fun storyline to follow, on the other hand tarnish the technical problems with the PC version of the otherwise good impression.
Moreover, I am not really clear in my pre-order bonuses, which I have sometimes released on the official website of the Games and linked to my Uplay account can use in the game and how I'll approach the stuff.
...
Let us have noticed me once about the negative points.
As pretty much expected to have noticed anyone who sweeps a real S *** storm about Ubisoft, because the technical aspect of Unity is really a disaster.
Can with the versions for the PS4 and Xbox One and I did not make friends because I can call my own a very good gaming PC. Since I did not want to be satisfied with 900p resolution and 30fps curly me, so I was looking forward to the PC version in order to really be able to experience a high-end adventure.
Well ...
What one is meanwhile seen on the PC more like a horror adventure.
Short to clarify, here are my specs:
Processor - Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.8GHz
Memory - Kingston HyperX Beast 2133 MHz 2 x 8 GB RAM (16 GB)
Motherboard - Asus Maximus VII Hero
Graphics Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked AXC @ 1270 MHz GPU clock
OS - Windows 8.1 installed on Samsung 840 Pro SSD
AC: Unity - Installs on OCZ Vector SSD 150
I think that may drop down to 15fps at such facilities no game down?
Think again.
Assassins Creed Unity is so bad optimizes itself in short cutscenes where a einizger character can be seen, 15 fps can be achieved.
The whole event then degenerates into a Ruckelpartie none.
Since it also helps not to screw the graphics settings down. Even in the middle and very low settings the game run smoothly so to himself.
The wide fluctuations from 65fps down to 15fps are so unpleasant to the eye and not just beneficial for the game, because I will inevitably bad.
Even someone who is a graf Siche Revolution expected to be disappointed.
Clear Unity looks einizgartig and offers a beautiful city and a successful atmosphere, but one sees at second glance that this is all just a facade and it begins to crumble behind.
Crumble?
Yes I briefly explain.
Is it in the city streets on the way everything looks very detailed and there are very many people on the go who pursue all other activities, these people but also gladly and often popping out of nowhere, and it looks like in 20 meters to people and clothing Hats grow on the body and how shadows open up.
Then one moves over the rooftops of time, suddenly all the details of the streets like lanterns, smoke from fireplaces, animals, bushes, puddles and boxes have disappeared. The floor covering is then only an ugly, muddy texture and tarnishes the otherwise beautiful view from the rooftops.
Had the developers because some passers less stuffed into the streets, then this' problem 'would' probably occur less. But it is well ... optimized crowded and apparently poor.
A praise goes to the walk-though houses and churches, cathedrals and castles. These are considered very beautiful inside and some offer real eye-catchers like giant paintings, ceiling lights, glass ornaments, etc.!
Places where the frame rate is sometimes more than the 15 fps. : D
Okay enough about optics talked how it looks with the controller.
Had they often bite in older parts of the series the desire in the controller or zuhämmern in the keyboard when our protagonist got stuck again on a wall or climb the way we wanted to climb, it is still in a little Unity were defused.
Control goes well out of hand and the climbing feels smooth, yet is an imprecise running and hopping zuverzeichnen.
The descent climbing of buildings has been simplified and is a lot faster than before vonstatten this time.
One has to mention the animations of the character, because that can be seen.
It winds on edges along, jumps diagonally, making 180 ° rotation and adheres virtually to any edge. In addition, you now have the possibility under tables, on crates etc smooth underneath or to glide over it. Thus, an obstacle course run feels more fluid.
Sound Technically, I have nothing to complain about. The music is great and fits into the action, the environments are presented with many different sounds, such as birds, humans, dogs, rattling carriages, etc. set to music.
The German Synchro succeeded in my opinion. The voices of the individuals are known and memorable.
What you can chalk up any, are the recurrent spells of passersby. So it can happen that you get one and the same spell to hear 5 times in half an hour of play, which now but should not constitute a major point of criticism, because at 100 to 1000 people simultaneously on the screen I imagine it difficult before everyone their own voice and to give its own judgment.
Wen we play at all?
We are Arno Dorian. In the beginning only a small rebel who does not like doing what he is told.
In Prologue of the game we learn Arno as little boys know. In Castle Versaille go, he should first wait for his father who participates in a meeting.
But Arno can his ass not keep still and plays catch with Elise he will really get to know later in.
In this small intro you will be familiarized with the controls and learn the hidden know before waking.
Shortly thereafter, the adventure begins ...
Arno's father is murdered and now it's up to you to figure out why, why and why this happens. Especially want to know who the killer is the Father Arno.
So far so good.
The Story of Unity happens during the French Revolution and you can breathe with how the city is changing and mutating people into a growing insurgency.
What options does the game still?
Well, Let me mention that you can fall back on a lot as Assassin arsenal of weapons and armor.
These offers one the game a lot of customization options. Arno can be packed in dozens of different coats, boots, hats, gloves, belts and pants. So everyone sees Arno different and the player can also let off steam with a fountain and give the clothes the matching paint.
Nice idea I think.
As everyone knows has an assassin plenty of skills which he can exercise.
There is a kind of skill tree. With points earned, we must teach our hero new combat tricks and maneuvers, thus make him something skilful in combat. Mature as in a great RPG that is not yet a successful addition is fun.
Finally I can say that my Assassins Creed Unity is fun, yet extremely frustet me.
The Stroy invites you to continue playing, which bugs and framerate dips rather less. As must be improved quickly by Ubisoft.
Everyone who is still undecided, should wait until the first patches have solved the biggest mistakes and then strike.
I could not wait and now play the beta testers. ;)
For size of the game world, you can still say: huge! Paris was not transferred 1: 1, but here has much to offer and so quickly should a not in the city of love will be boring.
PS: Every 4th building is accessible.
Enclosed I grab a few screenshots with in the Rezi. These come from the highest graphics settings and to show what the text I have partly tried to explain. : D
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS You may like to keep.
Images Description:
1. The adventure begins.
2. Send interiors offer many details.
3. The bustle on the streets ...
4. ... with painters, barkers and animals ...
5. ... from the hustle and bustle is nothing more to see here. Too bad.
6. The character customization
7. right lighting, a lot of people revive the town, at the expense of frame rate.
1st Supplement:
Since a few days the 2nd patch is out and this fixes some bugs and glitches. Now the Co-op mode is also playable and I tested immediately. I was very surprised how much fun you can have with it.
With the next patch, the performance should be problems history. We must remain curious what happens.
Meanwhile Assassins Creed Unity would give 4 stars because it now actually runs smoothly with a few exceptions on my machine.
A star minus there for micro-transactions (where with 99 euros you can not micro of the question), the thing about the app and the crates and the remaining problems which the performance terms (slow motion movement with large numbers of people at the same time) ,
