Yea like always old always wins, fanboys logic 5 years later new watch dogs game comes.. Fans : "hmm i like legion more, they looks a lot futuristic and fun"
There's something about late 18th-Century architectures and building size that gives you a sense of scale that's just can't be felt in today's majority of buildings. It's kinda sad how important buildings back then used to bring that massive and grand impression to people, now it's pretty much taken away thanks to.. uhh, massive cheese grater and walkie talkie? Lol
In away London is losing its identity. I grew up in wrapping during the early 90s. There were still a lot of Victorian buildings and cobbled walk ways especially in white Chapel where the ripper murders took place. It was like travelling back in time lol now its pretty much all gone.
The fog effect in Syndicate really gives the sense of how massive the buildings are back in the Victorian era. These days not even a 500 meter tall tower phases us.
Partly I think the reason why is because these days everything is pre made Assembled and mass produced stuff. Plus some of the modern buildings are ugly too.
@@thestudentofficial5483 after world War 1 a lot of the architects wanted to make buildings solely for the purpose of function with little ornaments. London got hit hard in the second world War and a lot of the reconstruction effort came from architects like that.
@@harveyzeroq5284 I think it depends on your definition of detailed. To me it means graphical fidelity. The legions model of that building looks like PBR. The AC Syndicate version looks like traditional textures applied on top of the model. Those textures most likely break apart the closer you get to the asset. That being said, AC:S certainly has more of a stylized vibe to it which I really like, whereas Legion has more of a photo-realistic sort of approach - especially with RT and other lighting/shadow tricks.
It’s so crazy, it like stepping into a time machine. On one side, we see carriages pulled by horses and birds flying in the sky. And on the other, there’s sports cars and flying drones. Both in familiar settings. Things like this is what I think Ubisoft excels at.
@@Jake-cv4si you're out of your mind. RDR2 is a joy to explore, but everything you run into is a scripted event. Legion on the other hand has so many emergent gameplay possibilities and the people on the street are so organic and unpredictable. The detail they've put into the NPC system is incredibly - it pretty much has ruined other open world games for me. I've never had more fun exploring an open world than I have with Legion. Its world is anything but bland.

@@steelparagon5868 I have enjoyed every Assassin's Creed Game, from Assassin's Creed 1 to Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Also the Chronicle Parts and Assassin's Creed Liberation. Assassin's Creed Unity and Syndicate were one of my favorite Assassin's Creed Games. Ubisoft is much better than EA, wo release every year a new FIFA that is practically the same game. And Activision is releasing every year a new Call of Duty. Take2 is just a asshole who doesn't care about their employer. Bethesda is releasing the same game on every platform and once a fridge has enough computing power they will release it on that as well.
I understand what you’re saying but if you look at history and the last 900 yrs from like 1900, there really hadn’t been a huge changes to technology or big advances in the world really until the 1900’s that’s when cars, planes, bombs, missiles, computers, tv’s phones, air conditioning were invented so up until then they had few lifestyle changes from the renaissance to the old west guns were made which was probably the biggest advancement
@@thedopeson Yeah very true and of course the next gen consoles are able to have more render distance in the games. So with this fog you won't really show that full potential of the increased render distance. So if that really is the case then I understand the choice they made with Watch Dogs Legion. A shame how it just doesn't look as realistic because it misses that fog.
What I like of this video is to see how London evolved in 150 years, from an ingame to a historical perspective (in this case ignoring the pure sci fi elements in WD). But, I also like to imagine that both franchises share universe, so this gets even more interesting. It would be awesome if you could do this but adding AC Valhalla London.
@J He disappears mid game AC4 you kill him in a convoy mission in watch dogs and you can find the ct footage in origins the assasin in legion is likely cannon 👌
Well apparently any game by ubisoft is supposed to have like a ingame universe so like WD for instance.. theirs all kinds of stuff referring to the Assassins.. like the twins, and Edward since alot of the games take place in like Victorian, carribean, the colonies, and the Americas... (either) farcry has a few Easter eggs too i believe and the Witcher has a dead assassin in one of the villages, laid out by a smashed hay Trott. And he even says "when will they learn" ig indicating he had some kind of connection or encounter.

Syndicate really captured the romanticism of the era. Still amazing compared to Legion. I guess technological developments in graphics are hitting their limits.
Both are great, but AC Syndicate is definitely more intricately detailed, sharp and smoothly refined. It also gives the user a better perspective of depth and scale with it’s buildings and roads ect. It’s a wonder why they didn’t use the same artists, or renders for WD Legion. AC syndicate is easily on of the most ambitious, and well executed examples of a virtually simulated real city.
@@rolloxra670 No all the models to the player the carriages and the buildings are all just very large models compared to legions most new releases don't do this now because bigger model requires higher poly count and higher res textures. I prefer bigger models because it looks more realistic. See GTA 4 vs GTA 5 as an example all the cars in the 4 are huge they don't seem weird to the eye when you admire its proportions. GTA 5 cars on the otherhand do seem weird to the eye when you admire its proportions. That's why the developers couldn't just reuse and remaster a lot of the buildings from Syndicate they are like twice the size.
It's made to look less vibrant and happy because of the campaign's tone. If you look at WD2, the whole city is so vibrant and happy-looking, but it fits that story pretty well.
@@werewolf2969 How?

I was certainly expecting that the city layout, many of the historical buildings and a certain ammount of assets would travel from Assassin's Creed Syndicate to Watch Dogs Legion; Some buildings and landmarks looks like they used the same 3D model, but in many many more it's not the case. I mean, Ubisoft spend a lot of time building the first game and their assets, to not use many of those in other game, located in the same city, but many years in the future. I know, 5 years is a lot of time between one game and the other and tech evolves, but many of the assets used in Syndicate still looks really good to this day. Also, I know both franchises doesn't share the same universe (just your regular cameos, because they can do it), but still tho, it could had been really really cool for them to actually do that. On the other hand, your work is amazing pal, keep doing your amazing work!
@@LoreDanka87 really? I tough they say that both franchises aren't sharing universe when they announce the Assassin's Creen Crossover for WD Legion. Gonna check that out Chief, thanks.
@@LordTurban you're welcome! Tbh, it's a bit confusing how they made that announcement with AC character. So, it's better to follow their official channel for a bit.
@@Max-hz6np yo no diría en decaer, con syndicate fue un buen juego pero era más de lo mismo, después salió Origins que esta muy bueno pero perdió lo que era un assassin's creed, yo solo espero que Ubisoft haga algún juego que llene ese vacio que dejó la trilogía de Prince of Persia y los primeros Assassin's Creed :(
It’s actually quite sad to see how London has been trashed so heavily compared to Syndicate. To think of all the wonderful buildings that are now gone...
Today, you can 3D print whole buildings and houses using giant 3D printing machines. Also don't forget that London was heavily bombed by Hitler and the Nazis during WW2, so there was that.
@@unicorntomboy9736 I remember seeing hitler in his flying car dropping bombs out the back seat back in the day... sad times. ..But i’m afraid you can’t 3D print buildings yet mate.
Unity and Syndicate were far more impressive on a visual basis for the time of which they were released. 2014/2015 Watch Dogs Legion looks good but it doesn't look anywhere near the visuals of Cyberpunk and Demon's Souls releasing in the same year. 2020 That said, Legion is bound to have less bugs.
I don't know dude, Jacob Frye married and had a daughter, Lydia Fyre who has been trained by Evie, but nobody know what happen to her but her mission never finished, so maybe she died and we don't have any info about Evie son's but, she married Jayadeep Mir and move with him to india, so maybe her son/daughter was born in india.
Me encantó la comparativa Y creo es la primera vez que vemos una entre estas dos ciudades en épocas distintas dentro de los videojuegos Es muy divertido jugar WDL y pensar "Por aquí pasé en Syndicate" o "Recuerdo que aquí hice X misión" me encanta esa sensación y tu video logra eso Gracias por el esfuerzo!!!
You know, if Syndicate had Unity’s parkour, a more updated version of Assassin’s Creed 1- Revelations combat, and the ability to keep your hood up whenever, it would have been loved.
syndicate and Black Flags are still amazing graphically, they were 10 years more advanced than the rest, and now you can play them in HDR thanks to Win 11
I don't really mind about the buildings and environment, of course things will look totally different literally decades later. But the graphics, Syndicate is an absolute win.
I'll never forgive Syndicate for having the shortest night time cycle in any AC game. In the setting you want night time in the most, Victorian London by gaslight. And it lasted 2 minutes. What a waste.
Syndicate's generation had the realistic smog, where as Legion has way cleaner air, just showing the advancement and improvements in growing technology.
Syndicate was a really good game. It was highly underrated imo. People didn't like it back then, but if AC was like Syndicate nowadays, people would go crazy over it.
The lighting, fog, whatever in Syndicate makes it feel so beautiful and cinematic. I can tell Legion has lots of details, but it feels very cold and more like you're in some 3D rendered space.
This strongly reminds me of those 1800s/1900s vs. Modern Day videos on CZcams when you see how much a city has changed over a hundred years or so. It's a very surreal, bittersweet feeling knowing that what once used to be here is now gone.
Totally the feeling that something you grew up with doesn't exist or looks completely different. Mordern Architecture looks bad it looks good when it's overgrown by tress.
London in ACS feels more like a living breathing city. In WDL there is very little traffic, and half of the cars don't ever have any passengers. The first WD was the only one in the series to feature a city that felt like a big city.
No idea how people are finding the map in syndicate better than in legion when the buildings are much MUCH more accurate. Honestly if they remade syndicate the the buildings in legion then it would be better.
I took a game design class in freshman year of high school and I know enough to say that it's really ez for ubisoft to use the same terrain in ac syndicate and put it in watch dogs legion with some differences and remodeling.
So glad reading these comments. I have a series X and absolutely love syndicate. So I assumed Watchdog Legion would be outstanding. VISUALLY it's ok, not overwhelming.
Me recuerda cuando veo fotos antiguas de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, de la Avenida de Mayo, y luego las comparo con la actualidad. Capaz que a nivel funcional evolucionaron las ciudades, pero estéticamente empeoraron
Es genial que los dos juegos se situen en la misma ciudad, es interesante ver el progreso a travez de ellos, debe ser divertido buscar sitios de AC en WD, seria lindo que incluso dejasen algun "guiño" a AC, como encontrar un objeto del otro juego en el thames que aluda a los protagonistas o que se yo. La polucion le da un toque especial a AC.
Syndicate graphics is more brighter than needed at some times and WC is more detailed when it comes to texture and shadow details. And the detail load time in objects are little slow in syndicate look carefully at the gameplay the details of trees delay to load for a few frames there are some defects in both of the games so it's equal both games are OP in its own place I played both of them and I love them both 🥰🥰
I think it's an interesting thing to have simulations of the same city at different periods of time. It would be wacky to traverse the Watch Dogs version as Evie with my grappling hook
Que buen vídeo! Es un claro ejemplo de como se pueden conseguir mejores resultados con menos recursos. A mi opinión Watch Dogs tiene los "mejores gráficos" (obviamente, es de este año), pero la composición artística de Assassin's Creed hace que tenga unos escenarios más vistosos (juego de luces, colores, etc.)
Because buildings were still new during 19th century, Syndicate looks clean and beautiful. While WD Legion has really brought out the Current day London and it looks very realistic.
Well the Developers have gone out of their way to make it like that... They think it's inclusive and not Racist.... Unless your White... Then it's pretty racist.... It's a conscious thing... I noticed this myself because you expect the race bullshit to be pushed these days... Do you think black people and minorities love this??? Wrong... It's condescending actually.

Well, we've been on the same console generation for 7 years now and they maxed out the hardware almost immediately. You won't be seeing the next leap in graphics till late next year/2022
@@shiroo1318 launch games never push the console. Most of them aren't even next gen exclusive, they are PS4 games running on extra high settings instead of Medium to Low settings. And the few that are next gen are being made on the previous generation engine still, which aren't properly optimized and limits the games as well.
kind of interesting to see the subtle differences between the different dev teams versions of the same buildings. though it would be cool to see the same models being used again however modernized
En Watch Dogs los edificios históricos se ven más limpios que en AC, aunque tiene lógica siendo que había tanta polución por uso de carbón en fábricas y la misma afectaría la fachada de los edificios. Ahora se los mantiene cuidados y usan productos para limpieza, cosa que no creo en ese tiempo.

I mean, Ubisoft spend a lot of time building the first game and their assets, to not use many of those in other game, located in the same city, but many years in the future. I know, 5 years is a lot of time between one game and the other and tech evolves, but many of the assets used in Syndicate still looks really good to this day. Also, I know both franchises doesn't share the same universe (just your regular cameos, because they can do it), but still tho, it could had been really really cool for them to actually do that.
On the other hand, your work is amazing pal, keep doing your amazing work!
Actually, Unisoft confirmed AC and WD is now one universe. They said in one of their latest videos on WD: Legion. So, yeah
@@LoreDanka87 really? I tough they say that both franchises aren't sharing universe when they announce the Assassin's Creen Crossover for WD Legion. Gonna check that out Chief, thanks.
@@LordTurban you're welcome! Tbh, it's a bit confusing how they made that announcement with AC character. So, it's better to follow their official channel for a bit.
As time passed , the number of middle fingers rised in London
This brings back memories because AC syndicate was the first AC game I played and I have loved the series every since
It’s quite sad to see all those artistic Buildings in Syndicate transferred to some Lego style houses in watchdog Legion.
I mean...thats what happened in real life lol
@@thedopeson still sad
La verdad me gusta más como se ve en Ac: Syndicate
Impresionante la calidad visual que tiene Assassins Creed Syndicate para ser un juego de hace 5 años
Eso no es nada Unity a pesar de sus bugs es sin mentiras el mejor assasins Creed que hay
Sobretodo en las escenas nocturnas es donde luce mucho más
@@Max-hz6np para mí con Unity fue que Ubisoft tiro el listón muy arriba con la generación de ps4/xbox one e hicieron un juegazo a nivel gráfico
@@Nalgaso123 Lamentablemente después de unity Assasins Creed empezó a decaer
@@Max-hz6np yo no diría en decaer, con syndicate fue un buen juego pero era más de lo mismo, después salió Origins que esta muy bueno pero perdió lo que era un assassin's creed, yo solo espero que Ubisoft haga algún juego que llene ese vacio que dejó la trilogía de Prince of Persia y los primeros Assassin's Creed :(
It’s actually quite sad to see how London has been trashed so heavily compared to Syndicate. To think of all the wonderful buildings that are now gone...
Today, you can 3D print whole buildings and houses using giant 3D printing machines.
Also don't forget that London was heavily bombed by Hitler and the Nazis during WW2, so there was that.
@@unicorntomboy9736 I remember seeing hitler in his flying car dropping bombs out the back seat back in the day... sad times. ..But i’m afraid you can’t 3D print buildings yet mate.
@@bonehand87 I don't really believe you about that, unless you're a really, really old person

Londres de dia
Assassin's Creed Syndicate > Watch Dogs Legion
Londres de noche
Watch Dogs Legion > Assassin's Creed Syndicate
You guys are always on comparing
London in daylight:
Watch Dogs Legion >> Assassin's Creed Syndicate
London at night:
Watch Dogs Legion >>> Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Fog and unrealistic godrays:
Assassin's Creed Syndicate > Watch Dogs Legion
I disagree strongly
Increíble como es posible que se vea mejor un juego de hace 5 años, siendo además de la misma empresa
Bugisoft xd
Unity and Syndicate were far more impressive on a visual basis for the time of which they were released. 2014/2015
Watch Dogs Legion looks good but it doesn't look anywhere near the visuals of Cyberpunk and Demon's Souls releasing in the same year. 2020
That said, Legion is bound to have less bugs.
I find it disappointing that Legion has essentially the exact same “liberating each London borough” concept that Syndicate does
And
@@andrewbringas4551 he finds it disappointing, the fuck you mean "and"
True butta i guess u can save it again 200yrs later:)
And they both are in the same universe
But it’s way different..
This tells a lot about our society
that's exactly what i was thinking. Depressing how modern architecture is taking the city as a parasite
A moment of silence for our fallen brother above me.
We live in a society
Ceribo “Silence”
It doesn’t
Imagine if we find an npc related to Jacob Frye or Edward kenway because he moved to London im sure
Jacob or evie is an ancestor to one of the people you can recruit
@@Tristore22fan that's badass, do they have special abilities like a grapple hook lol
@@sloandive I don't know yet but you can look it up and see.
I don't know dude, Jacob Frye married and had a daughter, Lydia Fyre who has been trained by Evie, but nobody know what happen to her but her mission never finished, so maybe she died and we don't have any info about Evie son's but, she married Jayadeep Mir and move with him to india, so maybe her son/daughter was born in india.
@@TheAlmBR we do find an assassin related to the frye twins that we can play as
Min 2:57 , el men: oye que quiero salir en un video del "Analista de bits", dejenme robar cámara, xD
Screamer jajaja
Something weird on legion is the clouds, they don't look real
The filter look like red dead redemption 2
But in rdr2 looked real
It looks like microsoft flight simulator x (2008) clouds system :v
That slight mist trough which the light refracts in ACS add so much to visual.
Me encantó la comparativa
Y creo es la primera vez que vemos una entre estas dos ciudades en épocas distintas dentro de los videojuegos
Es muy divertido jugar WDL y pensar "Por aquí pasé en Syndicate" o "Recuerdo que aquí hice X misión" me encanta esa sensación y tu video logra eso
Gracias por el esfuerzo!!!

You know, if Syndicate had Unity’s parkour, a more updated version of Assassin’s Creed 1- Revelations combat, and the ability to keep your hood up whenever, it would have been loved.
Syndicate have the same parkour as unity ?
2:56 npc: hello!
syndicate and Black Flags are still amazing graphically, they were 10 years more advanced than the rest, and now you can play them in HDR thanks to Win 11
Ubisoft is always going one step forward and 10 more backwards
"Hey man, can I copy your homework..."
Syndicate holds up pretty well! I always thought the world looked really great in that game.
Siii, estaba esperando esta comparativa!
I don't really mind about the buildings and environment, of course things will look totally different literally decades later. But the graphics, Syndicate is an absolute win.
Legions London looks dead.
No.
Pretty much
Because London looks like that now
Because the whole story of oppression and corrupt government and what not
Thats kinda the point no? Like the UK government has become some corrupt police state
I'll never forgive Syndicate for having the shortest night time cycle in any AC game. In the setting you want night time in the most, Victorian London by gaslight. And it lasted 2 minutes. What a waste.
Syndicate's generation had the realistic smog, where as Legion has way cleaner air, just showing the advancement and improvements in growing technology.
Great video. Now we need the comparison of their Londons with AC Valhalla's Lunden. 👍
Color Correction make London feel so different.
150 años después y hay menos gente en Londres
es por el covid19.
Pero el juego es en el futuro
Hay menos gente por las explosiones

This is awesome. I wish there was an unlockable in Legion where you could find the Syndicate rope launcher.
Syndicate was a really good game. It was highly underrated imo. People didn't like it back then, but if AC was like Syndicate nowadays, people would go crazy over it.
The lighting, fog, whatever in Syndicate makes it feel so beautiful and cinematic. I can tell Legion has lots of details, but it feels very cold and more like you're in some 3D rendered space.
Ubisoft is just evolving backwards
3:42 You can see the wearing off of the building compared to watchdogs legions
This strongly reminds me of those 1800s/1900s vs. Modern Day videos on CZcams when you see how much a city has changed over a hundred years or so. It's a very surreal, bittersweet feeling knowing that what once used to be here is now gone.
Totally the feeling that something you grew up with doesn't exist or looks completely different. Mordern Architecture looks bad it looks good when it's overgrown by tress.
Oh, Ac syndicate my old friend, i miss you
Syndicate looks like PS5 game and Watch dogs legion looks like PS4 game.
AC Syndicate : 1868
WD Legion : One and a Half Century later

no syndicate was in 1200 century
@@sbrw4316 no
@@badreny yes
@@alanahmed7144 Nope syndicate was in the 12th century
London in ACS feels more like a living breathing city. In WDL there is very little traffic, and half of the cars don't ever have any passengers. The first WD was the only one in the series to feature a city that felt like a big city.
nice comparison, Assassin's Creed Syndicate still has a very good graph
No idea how people are finding the map in syndicate better than in legion when the buildings are much MUCH more accurate. Honestly if they remade syndicate the the buildings in legion then it would be better.
Past VS. Future
I think past is win 🔥🔥
I took a game design class in freshman year of high school and I know enough to say that it's really ez for ubisoft to use the same terrain in ac syndicate and put it in watch dogs legion with some differences and remodeling.
So glad reading these comments. I have a series X and absolutely love syndicate. So I assumed Watchdog Legion would be outstanding. VISUALLY it's ok, not overwhelming.
Me recuerda cuando veo fotos antiguas de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, de la Avenida de Mayo, y luego las comparo con la actualidad. Capaz que a nivel funcional evolucionaron las ciudades, pero estéticamente empeoraron
Es genial que los dos juegos se situen en la misma ciudad, es interesante ver el progreso a travez de ellos, debe ser divertido buscar sitios de AC en WD, seria lindo que incluso dejasen algun "guiño" a AC, como encontrar un objeto del otro juego en el thames que aluda a los protagonistas o que se yo. La polucion le da un toque especial a AC.
well now you can find various relics from syndicate in legion so i guess your wish came true after all
Syndicate graphics is more brighter than needed at some times and WC is more detailed when it comes to texture and shadow details. And the detail load time in objects are little slow in syndicate look carefully at the gameplay the details of trees delay to load for a few frames there are some defects in both of the games so it's equal both games are OP in its own place I played both of them and I love them both 🥰🥰
I think it's an interesting thing to have simulations of the same city at different periods of time. It would be wacky to traverse the Watch Dogs version as Evie with my grappling hook
Súper cool, como uno de esos videos de antes y después de ciudades.
2:57 you got any C H E E S E
River Thames
Syndicate : parkour challenge area
Legion : large swimming pool
NOW we need a modern London:
Valhalla: Ancient Lunden
Syndicate: Victorian Era
Legion: Future
Next game: modern
Ubisoft after finish AC Syndicate: Well, is a good game
5 years later
Ubisoft: Ahhh shit¡¡ here we go again
Don't forget Valhalla it's gonna be England in the year 873
0:57 WD legion just looks like Los angeles at that point
Que buen vídeo! Es un claro ejemplo de como se pueden conseguir mejores resultados con menos recursos. A mi opinión Watch Dogs tiene los "mejores gráficos" (obviamente, es de este año), pero la composición artística de Assassin's Creed hace que tenga unos escenarios más vistosos (juego de luces, colores, etc.)
It's kinda cool how they used the map from assassins creed syndicate and then just add some modern day structures.
Why does Syndicate look so much superior???
Es tu imaginacion
Talvez por que watch dogs legion es una lodres mala y la de assassins creed es mas como una lodres llena de vida
Ubi really stopped trying after Origins came out
Just the lighting, it doesn’t actually look better, the textures in legion are way better
Because buildings were still new during 19th century, Syndicate looks clean and beautiful. While WD Legion has really brought out the Current day London and it looks very realistic.
I wish they had kenway manison in legion and in darcy store misson we would have used it for a operation center
Same here
There is a building that is kind of similar to it, but im not totally sure if it's the same or not
It's crazy once you realise both these games are set in the same universe
i dont know if you can relate...but this is the 3rd video today i randomly watched that had hans zimmer-time as bgrnd music
NPC in Syndicate: white
NPC in Legion: literally everything except white
yeah, and?

@@blacktiger974 The white race is getting replaced.
Well the Developers have gone out of their way to make it like that... They think it's inclusive and not Racist.... Unless your White... Then it's pretty racist.... It's a conscious thing... I noticed this myself because you expect the race bullshit to be pushed these days... Do you think black people and minorities love this??? Wrong... It's condescending actually. Race shouldn't be an issue! We were taught not to see colour! It's all a far lefty sees... The true racists in my opinion
@@jgooo101 yeah, the whole world as we know it is soon going to collapse. I mean, I've been saying this for 250 years, at some point the prophecy is going to fulfill, right?

@@shiroo1318 launch games never push the console. Most of them aren't even next gen exclusive, they are PS4 games running on extra high settings instead of Medium to Low settings.

The atmosphere in ac syndicate is just breathtaking
Well, thats the comparison, i was waiting for :D
0:12 empezamos mal ¿Dónde está la sombra de la valla de hormigón a la derecha y luce como si no tuviera iluminación (lo que le da un efecto 2D)?
De echo si miras bien si tiene sombra
Ac syndicate was highly underrated
kind of interesting to see the subtle differences between the different dev teams versions of the same buildings. though it would be cool to see the same models being used again however modernized
En Watch Dogs los edificios históricos se ven más limpios que en AC, aunque tiene lógica siendo que había tanta polución por uso de carbón en fábricas y la misma afectaría la fachada de los edificios. Ahora se los mantiene cuidados y usan productos para limpieza, cosa que no creo en ese tiempo.
