Which has better graphics?

I dont think the comparison is feasible.One is a representation of a place that no one really knows what it looked like mean while one captures the essence of a place where people live in currently.It is very difficult to compare.

Graphics are pretty easy to compare. What you are thinking about is called aesthetics, not graphics.

Bruh, graphics... Specifically things like texture quality, lighting, foliage, etc. It's not about the overall environment or aesthetics of it.

Yep, you can totally evaluate graphics quality and performance completely separately from tone and atmosphere

I didn't play Watch Dogs 2 so I am not going to weigh on one over the other

ACO graphics are nowhere near to be groundbreaking. Design is well done but the texture quality is essentially not even better than Unity.

Good to know, thanks bro. Unity looked pretty amazing IMO. I just got Watch Dogs 2, and while it looks pretty damn good.. I'm hitting 30fps with everything maxed. Tweak shadows, to very high instead of the NVIDIA HTFS and I'm back to 60, but still. Getting AC Origins for Christmas so I was curious.

Aesthetic is a major part of how we perceive graphics so it is important.

And that is where Foliage quality ultimately falls.People may or may not agree on thigs like foliage quality or the environment and structures.

A better comparison to origins would be Unity and to my eyes Unity is better looking.
A better comparison to WD2 would be something lik GTA.

That being said a lot of the people have complained about the textures not being great in origins and i feel like that is on purpose.The muddied textures somewhat go nicely with the Sand blowing around or the overall blur that is present(which i dont particualrly like)

Unity was a more "Cleaner" Environment.Texures were mutch sharper.COme to Syndicate and again we have low res textures(THough i suspect that has a lot to do with performance rather than the overall look and feel.

AC Unity can look ridiculously good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32WGCJG_KW4

One word: Photorealism.

Yeah the thing is Unity can be made to look more realistic because we have a clear idea about how it might have looked.Same cant be said for Origins.
