Could be a YouTube thing, maybe?
No doubt there will be more videos to come, be worth keeping an eye on.

As far as the image differences between high end AMD/Nvidia hardware, outside of pixel peeping I doubt anyone will notice.
Lets hope its as good as it looks.
Oh and love this post on the youtube vid

Far Cry 3 has HBAO and HDAO ambient occlusion options. I'm nvidia, and I run it with HDAO, as HBAO looks like crap with cartoony type halos around characters when they're against a background and other anomalies.
Where's the logic in that?

And the AMD one is a quad module, both have eight logical cores which is obviously what the developer meant when referring to an i7 as eight core.
HDAO is AMD's implementation and its the best looking implementation going. Ubisoft are in with Nvidia now though so i don't suspect there will be an option for it. When Farcry 3 was made it was a Gaming Evolved title so it had AMD and Nvidia HDAO/HBAO implementations.
Oooooh TXAA and 3d for free and no performance hit
Checkmate Nv
Th... hic... the way... ish meant... t'be... summat!
Right! so when Ubisoft is in with AMD we get HDAO/HBAO options for both venders but when Ubisoft is in with Nvidia we only get HBAO, no surprise really.
Not to nvidia bash, god forbid, but I also consider TXAA to be a complete waste of time. The Vaseline on the lens look is so 1970s, and is not something I personally like, and MSAA always looks better anyway.
I don't think you AMD fellas have anything to worry about here. I think it will look great maxed out on either camp.

Personally I hope it runs and looks like a bag of spanners on AMD, as an nVidia fan, I've had to read about GE titles being rammed down my throat.
Why 'no surprise' ?
Think it's to do with one of the Batman games that had limited options when running AMD GPUs.

Quality-wise, HBAO+ > HDAO("SSAO+") > HBAO > SSAO
...and my other half's rig, using a 5870, seems to be able to use HBAO+ in Blacklist. Dunno about AC4.

Last time I checked Tesco got a bit upset if you tried to take a bottle of vodka "for free"
Well
I agree with this, tried it in a few games but found that it just gave a muddy look and the AA wasn't up to much, I would rather have no AA than use TXAA.
I honestly couldn't give a hoot about whether it's SSA, HBAO, HDAO or GBOB or whatever, we're talking very small image quality differences. Switching between HBAO and SSAO to me there is so little difference.
Well this does looks stunning. I will wait for reviews before I buy it though to see what the gameplay is like. If its anything like farcry 3 with a short main story and the rest of the game padded out with the same boring side missions over and over again I think I'll pass.
