So I’m trying the new third person view in performance mode and it is really rough. It was already a demanding game and that new camera doesn’t help. It’s the most blurry and shimmery game I ever played because of the density of vegetation everywhere that is tanking the game IQ. When it’s really heavy and VRS is at its lowest, you can even see vertical lines appearing on Series X.
But putting aside the graphics, gameplay is absolutely amazing and the environments are stunning, even with all the bluriness. It is an impressive game that will probably remain a benchmark for the next consoles, to see if they can push for a higher resolution and a better IQ.
Quality mode helps a bit with the shimmering but not a lot and it is better played in performance mode anyway with that sweet third person camera (you can change perspective on the fly by holding View button or change it in the settings).
Frankly, the game is a lot more enjoyable in 3rd person, the gameplay flows better, combat is amazing and you can see where you are going in these dense forests. Amazing update from Ubisoft, I can’t wait for the new DLC, but yeah, I’ll be playing this game again next-gen!
