Summary
Ubisoft released a trailer for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake (titled "Resynced") showcasing PS5 Pro enhancements, but the YouTube upload suffered from severe compression artifacts, making the video look blurry and pixelated. The article discusses how YouTube's bitrate limitations ruined what should have been a visually impressive showcase, and contrasts this with the generally poor quality of game trailers on the platform. It also touches on Ubisoft's ongoing struggles and the mixed reception to yet another remake/remaster.
