GSY Preview PC PS4 Xbox One

In case you haven't had enough content on Gamersyde, we have some more for you, with the beginning of our coverage of Assassin's Creed Odyssey on Playstation 4 Pro and Xbox One X. For the occasion, we have prepared some 4K footage and even one HDR video recorded on Microsoft's console. Better yet, we'll be back in a new 40 minute livestream, tonight at 9 CET, so don't hesitate to join us and offer me a little support after yesterday's surgery.
Update: Streams are now available.

Thanks for the videos.

When can we expect Gamersyde's review - as in when the embargo lifts?

Not sure we can communicate on that, but another question is: will we have time to play enough to be ready for when the embargo lifts? :x

Absolutely. Just stop covering other games, specially Racing ones. Problem solved!

You can't unfortunately, the encoded files are only available in 4K. :(

unknownuser: the bold text was meant for you!!!!

Why do you encode in 60 fps when the game is a 30 fps game? It just makes for larger file sizes, and makes it harder for people to play the videos on less powerful machines.

It does not make files larger, if two images are identical the encoder almost ignore it as it use motion-detection to encode frames.

And we explained it a few times, the consoles output at 60Hz, thus we capture and encode as is.

If a game has bad frame-pacing, it's shown in a 60 FPS video as is.
A 30 FPS video could lack some frames or make the game look "smoother" despite having bad frame-pacing.

Thanks for these. I enjoyed Origins and had my fill, but definitely interested in this.

How old are you? You sound like a bed wetting, teenage closet rebel. Grow up

On the other hand, I agree that they have done a great job with Kassandra. She looks tough

He's been on my ignore list since he first posted. I'd probably suggest doing the same.

Thanks for stream replay. I find them very entertaining - the conversations between you both and all the incidents that occur lol
Drift: "I'm OK after surg-"
Blim: "NO ONE CARES..."

Looks like narrative, cut scenes and facial expresions improved since Origins. Hope it has those rpg elements (they claim it´s like an rpg), and also, hope the story it´s engaging enough to me... Visually speaking, looks great.
