Of course it looks good, it's Cry Engine for god's sake. Congratulations fellow Xbone owners, you got your first truly next-gen looking game (please don't mention Forza, that's just another average racing game among many and it looks barely ok).
Now Crytek games are known for its visuals and not its gameplay, so I kinda expected that. Anyway, it looks like fun and I'd certainly try it out if had a Xbone.
You know what would be awesome? A game about Spartacus as in the Starz TV series. Oh boy it would look great on CryEngine.
I'm currently halfway through the first one and I'm loving it. Boss battles are so epic, voice acting is superb (Patrick Stewart!), the music is memorable and the usual hack 'em up is overall fun. Looking forward to LOS2!
@demonkingx5 Blah blah blah. Not buying the game because it uses uplay is silly. I'm not happy with it either since I'm buying it on Steam but I won't miss what may be the best pirate game in years because of it.
I'm holding up my preorder (PC gamer here) till the console versions are out and reviewed. If it holds up to the promise of being a great open world pirate game (with assassins), then I'm sold. Releasing on PC a couple weeks later ended up being a good thing after all!
