Hopefully at some point there's a disc version that has the assets pre-reduced for your pleasure.

Oh, boy...
This is going to be a massive downgrade isn't it?
And the PC version will obviously be hit, too. The graphics are really just about the only thing going for the game. Hope they don't get hit too hard.
On my PC at least, the size of the crowd barely seems to affect the frame rate.

Still have my unopened copy from Best Buy's B2G1 sale. Figure I will open it sometime early next year. Have plenty to play in the interim.

Ubi seems to be really struck by Unity's NPD placement.

These reaction gifs are perfection in how evocative they are. Honestly, UBisoft needs to really look at themselves. EA maybe awful as well, but the culture over there is clear going through a transition that we can see (and hopefully for the better). Ubisoft needs to wonder how they let their biggest franchise, with the most significant entry to date, release in such a state that it's being patched an entire month later.

This is the kind of game where you need to wait a year for Ubisoft's final patch (patch 10 maybe?) and then buy the game for $10.

Was going to post the webm version.
Well, I made a new webm for this

I can't wait for the next shitstorm when they also downgrade the PC graphics ...

Probabally.
I think part of the problem is not the GPU rendering/shading the models as it is the CPU simulating the lighting and physics while trying to push a ton of polygons.
The most hilarious and insulting statement from a game company in recent memory
Guess I'm putting off finishing Unity for another week.
This got me good hahah
Agreed. The tons of people on screen tend to just get in the way.

what reason would be to downgrade PC graphics? the top gpus can play this game maxed out right? if they did that it would be worse than a shitstorm.
They kind of painted themselves into a corner but the real question is whether reducing the NPC count would actually solve their issues at all. Some are suggesting that it would not.
In the same boat. I hope this patch will do something about the constant CTDs I'm getting.

If they downgrade the console version to fix performance version, they could push this change to PC players too - like they did for Watch_Dogs city geometry and lights
Point taken, i hope it does not happen.
well ubi, you almost had me buying the game if the patch delivered. now with that quality-control comment I'll wait till it drops to 10$.
just the fact that your game needs a patch contradicts this statement ffs. why would they say something like that? to avoid debates and stuff, I guess - right?

They forgot to put "suddenly" at the front and "now" at the end.

This thing better be locked to 30 FPS after all this
Yes, i have it, got it launch, it does not look even close,tbh the worse mod makes it better but even with that its not E3 level effects.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen the term refurbished used in content to actual game context, has that ever happened? What does that mean??
Exactly
This gave me a good laugh on the train. Thank you.
It genuinely feels like they're trolling us when they say things like this. It's so important to you...yet your game launched as a buggy mess that frequently dipped into the low 20's? Come the fuck on...
I don't know but it's not encouraging.
how can Ubisoft deny the obvious downgrade is beyond me.

So it appears that the patch still wasn't up to snuff. Ubisoft better make sure this thing is 30fps locked or they'll be looking like bigger fools than they already are. Don't know if that's possible though.
Forget Ubisoft. How can someone like Krappadizzle says the unveil video looks damn near the final product is beyond me.

5 seconds of google. ON PC(like I said) the game looks almost exactly like the reveal video. Few things changed here and there but overall looks damn near the same. I'm no apologist and could not care if Ubi went under, but these "downgrade" people yelling, only have a point when taken from their perspective. Doesn't mean it's that way across the board.
edit: I should say that, that video is based on a few ini changes and not a crazy heavy mod or anything.

Sounds like they're downgrading by removing stuff but I might be wrong.
Refurbishing, not removing. All these used textures will look like new again.
i have tried many mods and no mod can bring back those explosions, hell look at the overall effects(even the lighting), no mod will bring it back.
me too lol, not even moded.
