Would you like to downgrade the saved file?
Yes

Wow the workflow seems amazing. I start my apprenticeship as game engineer/game Designer this year and hope to work for ubisoft in the future. Despite all the hate by far my favourite studio with the coolest games!
4 years later... are you still doing Game Design and/or Level Design?
@@ItaloSS27 wow what a ride into the past seeing this comment of mine. Indeed i made it into the games industry and work as a game engineer (programmer) and already worked on multiple shipped titles. It was really worth the ride.
@@bryanprintz10 Wow, you've done a lot of things over time, but the best thing is that you didn't give up and managed to get where you always wanted, congratulations. I'm starting now, I've programmed in some languages, but I don't think programming is for me, I'm thinking about doing Graphic Design or Level Design
@@ItaloSS27 Yea i had some stressful years in the beginning soaking up all the stuff that is necessary but i managed to get trough. Cool that you try yourself out. I was in between coding and game design and had to make a decision so i went for coding which fits pretty good. I'm sure you will chose correctly. Good luck on your journey! Maybe we see us again in 4 years and you made it too or we are even colleagues (which happened to me with multiple people i work with now).
So many negative comments :( It's easy to criticise, not so easy to actually make something yourself. Show me an open world that YOU have made that's better than a Ubisoft one, then we'll talk.
It takes thousands of people at least a year to make each of these games, and all anybody can do is whine, rather than recognising the extraordinary amount of work that goes into each game. Not to mention that each game is expected to be bigger and with better graphics than the one before, so the developers are basically constantly learning on the job and pushing their limits.
They have high expectations placed on them and not much time to do it. It's understandable that there's sometimes repetition or bugs.
Why not focus on the incredible amount they get right, not the few things they get wrong?
Ubisoft: "do you know how to use CTRL+ C and CTRL+ V ?
Applicant: "um... yes"
Ubisoft: "You're hired!"
Unreal Is nice if u have a decent PC
Bruh I got sent a link to this RUclips video after getting rejected xD
@@JasperCasper24 Why did you get rejected??
@@gorgalstyan7652 applied for a graduate job, didn't get a reason just a "Sorry we hired someone else, click this link :)" lmao
@@JasperCasper24 Ok
3:03 - "If you are interested in working on projects that don't compromise quality [...], I think Ubisoft is exactly that place."
Oh, the irony.
Lmao
Bring back prince of persia!
yeah
No! They would destroy it!
loved those games
Why? Leave those games alone, Ubi will ruin it.
True words .
They create the levels then hit that DOWNGRADE button ;)
they do that for us,they hope our pc will safe the performance lol
They do that for us? You mean show us ridiculously awesome footage of Rainbow Six Siege, then only deliver on half of what it was supposed to be? Gotcha.
Nope,during a game-play reveal they have to render only a particular segment or part of a game so it is impossible to keep that level of graphics for full game even on a very high end rig.
They really should remove the "All in-game footage" captions, then. Because that's 100% false advertisement. That'd be like me buying a nice car online in mint condition, only to have it delivered in fair condition, and told by the company I bought it from that this car actually runs better than the shiny new one I wanted.
officialwebbox ghost recon wildlands looks dope af tho
I heard that snowdrop engine comes with a "Downgrade" button
Dont forget the the button that adds bullshit collectibles around the map
Oussama Essamadi what do you mean?
For what?
but gameplay is far more important than graphic.
are you kidding me ?
you guys are amazing...
we GAMERS are always with you..
we want a video of the downgrade team :D!
zodiarkful you're looking at it
Sajid Azmi lol
but gameplay is far more important than graphic.

😅
@@markzckrbrengsek87 You're kidding me. They have good gameplay and graphics to deceive. When I received the product I was quite disappointed even though the game play remained the same. Uberoft is Garbage now.
I played all those missions. Its cool seeing how their made.
Love how at the 2minute mark, the guys playing on his phone and the graphics are better than their actual games.
Looks like a fun place to be. I always dream of joining Ubisoft.
Us level designers here at Ubi, we love towers, we love them so much, we put them into every game.
I restarted the intro like 5 times because the old ubsioft intro is so satisfying
Glitches and minor clipping aside, in my opinion ubisoft are the leaders in environment design. From games like steep, and assassins creed specifically the lighting and scale of the maps are on point the look great and feel great.
That's the reason why I love UBIsoft
Always get disconnection in For Honor also is one part of the level design.
townnet Not really....
That location on ac syndicate, i remember so much! i love AC, the way they make very near the real builds...
cool how they showed us everything!
Thank you for everything
I am a non-professional UI Designer, but studying and working at Ubisoft is my dream. I really like the modern game designs you guys are making
So where are you with that?
Somebody stop that man
@@masonthunkwell9786 why?
keep working hard, ubisoft!
I loved that syndicate mission

False They are Always Good On everything . Now its ur prblem U cant Just play everything on Ultra and hight , Why dont ot chose Low on Pc , And whwreas On Controlers , They works good and fine .
Ubisoft = Indian Games .
Do you build your own 3D models or do you get them from other people you work with?
Okay all jokes aside, you probably have to be such a patient person and have a lot of imagination/creativity.
what's the program + used, maya or nuke or unity?
Вот все выглядит ярко, разнообразно с каждой новой серией остается главная фишка которую не хочешь упускать и это визитная карточка продолжения истории и тонкой связи с прошлыми играми. Ни когда не поздно открыть что то новое и окунуться в новую неизведанную для воображения и смысловой нагрузки игру с качеством того же построенного геймплэя. Все выглядит сочно и неповторимо.
-Так держать!
Thanks for the video 😃
Why the games are downgraded.
TrickerFor Life because they show good pc graphics as console graphics but after the division and watch dogs 1 ubisoft got its ass kicked enough to put in a policy were all demo gameplay had to be running on an actual fucking console like watch dogs 2 only difference between e3 and actual was lighting not a downgrade but because player had activated mission in different point of the day
+matt carnes No, because you can't fucking run those graphics yourself. Do you think they are playing the demos with a fucking gtx720 or something ? Nobody's pc would be able to run the demo graphics, i'm not even talking about the consoles, they are a joke.
Simple, you can go high res- low res easily. Try to go low res- high res and its not that great. Devs start with insanly high res, insane shadows, similations, and extreme amount of polygons on a model. Game devs optimise the game at the very end, its one of the things they do last. Sometimes they don't have an optimised version of the game yet so they show what they have, and then they downgrade it so that majority of players can play it
But why dont they let players with good PCs play the game as it was in the demo ??
I know it will make the game very heavy, they can just let the option to download it as an HD pack, just like skyrim did.(even if it was a shitty hd pack)
I really dont understand why the devs dont let the players the option to try it, it will be good marketing if some people with insane PCs do videos of the game at its maximum potential.
Its a pain in the ass to look at Witcher 3 and The Division demos and see how they actually look in game even with maximum settings....
Bc it is insanely heavy (it takes so much resources that you couldn't play in it, doesn't matter the good the pc is) and it's own engine couldn't run the whole game without optimisation/downgrading
Quality over quantity, I rather follow a linear level that is well designed that run around in an endless open world where everything more or less look exactly the same. Fuck these kind of games, most of the game is spent running from one place to another, bashing some buttons to kill some stupid enemy while you're doing it.
Your described Watch dogs right there mate
Watch dog 2 isn't anything like that. On the other GTA 5...
Dan Iel Except Ubisoft puts out neither qaulity nor quantity.
Joseph Giedraitis u r a fool
I heard Ubisoft only hires designers who have 5+years xp in downgrading.
downgrading graphics and upgrading the bugs ..be a little more precise mate :D
i would love if you can go in more buildings i hope ubisoft does it and i also would love if you could look through the windows
"that don't compromise quality" Riiiiiiiiiiiight
im trying to make a truck simulator game in unity and its hard as fuck..im starting to apreciate these guyz, this is on another level
Thanks for sharing with us this informative video.
You are impressive, guys!
vous étés des légendes you are a legend
I loved ubi in the early 2000 with rayman and prince of persia etc, can we please have that back? :D
This comment section is hilarious 😂
One of the best Games company!
Congratulations on your wonderful work!
Ubisoft
A JOB LIKE THIS SOUNDS SO FUN
Thats a pretty interesting interface for the Snowdrop engine. Whenever I'm designing levels I usually model all my 3d assets but I wonder if that still holds true in the Professional level design world, or are these level designers given pre-made assets and given the task to layout the entire space. I still have a lot to learn in order to get to this level
I actually used to work at ubisoft montreal on farcry and watchdogs as a level artist. In general level designers do a rough layout with greybox to tune the gameplay, and then artists go in and replace all that greybox with art assets. Some assets are outsourced, others are built in house by the modeling team.
@@PolygonAcademy Dude that is so cool! I've only ever done Level Design in unreal, both blocking out and then modeling and importing fbx. assets but its interesting to hear from peoples perspectives who have been in the industry. I'll be there some day. The dream job for me is Bethesda
@@blendtecrocks08 nice! yea bethesda would be awesome. I have a bunch of gamedev tutorials on my channel if you want to learn more environment stuff :)
@@PolygonAcademy Just checked your page out now, and of course I will definitely watch your content!
@@blendtecrocks08 now 4 years later, did you get your dream job ? ;)
Combien de modelers et d'animateurs ont bossés sur farcry primal? Leur travail est vraiment phénoménale, ça doit vraiment être un des plus beau jeu auquel j'ai pu jouer !
"it's really about knowing how to be creative with what you have, I created an assasination missions where you infiltrate a place and kill a woman." Creativity incarnate.
My god that's savage but you're right 🤣
"Aight people, what should the player have to do in this assasination game to progress?"
"...Assasinate?"
"Dear god, you're a G E N I U S ! !"
**Instantly gets promoted to president of the company**
I love you guys, I am from montreal too, and I can't wait for farcry 5 because farcry 3 is my favourite game.
I'm a huge fan of ubisoft. When I grew up I want to work in ubisoft as a programmer. I'm now 13 yrs old.
Memorable tower experience
I haven’t played far cry, watch dogs or the latest assasins creed but let me tell you.
Level design in The Division is absolute top notch. Like near From Software.
All the missions start you off in a certain place. By the time you finish an exit the mission you come to find out the exit was hidden in plain sight, just how FromSoftware doe it
Hey Ubisofr what do you use to make level design? im 13 and im using Ue4 right now do you know what would be best for me being a beginner at this or of what you have i could possibly use?
The last game I played published by Ubisoft was Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2.
Level design is pretty good. Whatever happened to those linear complex forms of level design?
Wich game designing program do you use?
What software you use to create games ? Other than unity.
AC: "Tale that dude." x 10^1000
Now that's some inspired level design.
It's really sad to see people taking the designers and developers for granted and complaining about glitches and stuff. You have no idea how much work they put in. Why are you expecting perfection? Just value their creativity.
Yeah but you are not seen the entire picture. The desicion sell and unfinished game is not resposability of the developers, i mean they are just artist like 3d artist, level designers, programmers, etc. If an executive fool want to sell the game before its bug free or even finished is not fault of the developers is fault of the executive junk piece of shit that only thing on money.
Or the lack of thereof.
Ethan Stykes watch unity and the amount of glitch
We r paying money dude
Because the company releases broken games. It is their job to sort the bugs out. It is not about perfection but making a complete product. How about the next time you buy a car, it comes with a faulty steering wheel and dodgy brakes and no seats....
1:12 I pay so much attention to details and it takes me forever to finish games because of thisss ILY bb
I think this is awesome if there was any posibility to work with them i would do it .
What is your engine? Will I be able to use it? Or buy it.
why only Windows and no Mac OS ?
I think i’ve found my dream work!
LOVE YOU UBISOFT!!!!!!
What software are they using at 1:18?
the only person that i see smiling (a genuine smile) is the junior-level designer. the rest looked stressed
Ubisoft, my dream is to work in your company. What do I need to know, be able to do and how can I get a chance to get a job in one of your departments?
what game do you use?
I try to get a job as Level Designer at Massive but I never get the chance to show what I can do! I allways get shut down on my applications, hard to know what to work on when you get 0 feedback to improve
i love games more then anything
One day I will reach there.
Which software do they use
what is the name of the software in 0:23 ?
Ubisoft please hire me I can model a teapot, then UV map it and I need a job
Batman lol
Loool
Ubisoft: your teapot has glitches?
Person: No, it's perfect
Ubisoft: Uh, we are sorry. You are overqualified.
@@heatxtm omg 😂 I came here to update my qualifications. Now I can also sculpt details on the surface of teapot. I'm slowly getting there. Next year it should be retopology and PBR texturing.
@@TheCrimson147 can you make the teapot disappear in game ? We're looking forward for skilled programmers like you
What game engine use ubisoft?
Can we see a Server-Roomtour ? Oh wait...
Dear Ubisoft can you add on phone assassin creed pirates to walk on the islands and explore.And assassin creed identity to work without wi-fi please
Ubisoft already announce a DLC for this video.
Very memorable experience indeed... though not in a good way
Okay. What is a good level design? Road from lvl1-30 in Division.
well thanks for the flamethrower mission in FarCry 3 so sick
How can I apply for the Graphic Executive Downgrader spot
Can I download Ubisoft in my computer
What's program?
I wonder what are the PC specs used by them

I love to work in ubisoft
One step foward, eight steps back.

Ubisoft in a nutshell
Players : Ubi there is a bug in rainbow six siege
Ubi : no problemo, just wait 3 months
Players : 3 MONTHS TF UBI, there is a game breaking glitch !!
Ubi : 3 month and we'll fix it
players: oh okay
Ubi : we fixed 1 bug in 3 months, damn we are good (and at the same time we have made a 30 new game breaking bugs)
all you have to know in order to get hired at ubisoft is
*ctrl + c* and *ctrl + v*
"don't compromise quality"
1:59 what game is that ?
i just want to know what the program you used like unreal engine 4 or what to make Ubisoft their games ?????
In house developed engine that I can't tell you the name of. Besides, you wouldn't have access to it unless you work for the company.
Is hard to become a video game designer?
