Assassin's Creed Unity is 900p/30fps on both PS4 & Xbox One

Well said man, you get what you pay for basically.

amazes me that some console gamers expect the same performance from a 400 quid console as you would expect to get from a more expensive PC gaming rig.

so you feel that because you have the more powerful console you are ENTITLED to a better game.

It's Ubisofts game they can do what they like with it, if you don't like it vote with your wallet and don't buy it.

What is it with fanboys that they think they can dictate to developers how they should make there games

Actually eltormo has been behaving himself in this thread apart from trying to push his conspiracy theory that everytime something bad happens to a playstation console it has something to do with MS opening there wallet.

Honestly, they call me naive and stupid for believing what the developers said whilst they themselves are subscribing to unproven conspiracy theories.

i F***ing love this place mate:)

"Ignore what is known"? Did I miss something? Did factual news break that MS paid for Parity? If yes they should be ashamed. If not, this is another guilty until proven innocent thing. If you don't really know, spare me the bullshit because it comes from emotion. And anyone that has lived with a woman can tell you emotional response is not logical.

Wow I missed all this. Can you link me to that quote?

I'm still thinking it might be the xbone getting an upgrade ala Destiny or Diable, than the potato 4 getting downgraded. Obviously, both make sense, considering the PS4 is mroe powerfull than the xb1. Shown by the 180p difference is almost every game

In the end, DF analyzes will be a better measure. If the xbox suffers crush blacks again, or inferior textures and effects, or a more unstable frame rate, it can be assumed it's an upgrade.

The whole parity thing is making people just. These companies are so vague about everything nowadays it's fucking annoying. It's like Rise of the Tomb Raider all over again and how many still assume it'll come to Playstation because they said timed.

Still, lol peasants fighting over 1080p again.

@delta3074:

Fuckin blows my mind. The sense of entitlement of gamers is above any of the major entertainment industries. And it can be solved so simply. Just don't buy the game. Don't buy any Ubi game. Instead they fuckin cry. If there is no real, factual proof that MS paid Ubi then I am loving this cry baby, ballbag bullshit.

Now lemmings are passing along PR damage control. Thanks lemmings for the resolution gimping.

FYI @FastRobby and co, CPUs are pretty much the same between both consoles so that excuse doesn't wash.

@GrenadeLauncher: you're welcome guy. We were after all involved in the design and engineering of the console. Are you really a jerry's kid?

At least here's one willing to own up to his WAR CRIMES ;p

"We understand how senior producer Vincent Pontbriand's quotes have been misinterpreted. To set the record straight, we did not lower the specs for Assassin's Creed: Unity to account for any one system over the other," a Ubisoft spokesperson said.

"Assassin's Creed: Unity has been engineered from the ground up for next-generation consoles. Over the past four years, we have created Assassin's Creed: Unity to attain the tremendous level of quality we have now achieved on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. It's a process of building up toward our goals, not scaling down, and we're proud to say that we have reached those goals on all SKUs.

"At no point did we decide to reduce the ambitions of any SKU. All benefited from the full dedication of all of our available optimisation resources to help them reach the level of quality we have today with the core Assassin's Creed: Unity experience."

Cows' fears have been confirmed.

Turns out the 900p lock is not by virtue of M$' pockets, instead, XO's refined dk is helping unleash the console hidden potential.

PS4 would run the game at 900p either way, lol

If Sony is getting held back by Microsoft then why is the lead console THE XBOX ONE on The Division?

Yes they are. The Xbone's minimal clock speed increase means little in practice.

@GrenadeLauncher: I'm thinking of having a meltdown just for you. That is the length that I go for my friends.

Simon in another spectacular bout of point missing as per usual.

Because Ubisoft signed another marketing deal with them. Expect more resolution gimping and it might be even worse - I already hear the frame rate on the Xbone version is baaaaaaaaad.

We locked it because we didn't want to add to the debate.

Then add in something about CPUs even though the CPUs in both consoles are virtually the same.

Ubi really needs to fire its PR people. They've had an awful year.

That's what Gamefly exists for. You still get to play the game, Ubi-cro$oft gets none of your money. Win win.

Unlike most here, i couldn't care less for the parity thing. Sure, i think devs should try to take full advantage of each platform, but as long as the version i'm playing reaches my expectations, i'm ok with it.

The problem is that 1080p should e mandatory this generation. If the game can not handle x number of npcs and effects while running at 1080p, then the solution (at least for me) is to cut on everything but resolution.

Most gamers already invested on full HD screens. Games, this gen, should take advantage of it.

Nope, but let's be honest. They cut a co-marketing deal and they delay ACU two weeks (hope they sort out the jaggies in that time) to take pressure off Sunset Overdrive and this pops up. Bit of quid pro quo here - "we'll scratch your back, you scratch ours." It's business.

"Out of context," not much to take out of context there. Then again you have a habit of believing the PR men. "The most anticipated game of 2014!"

dumb

There are plenty enough games that the PS4 can't do 1080p in. As it stands the PS4 is just slightly more capable than the X1 that's all nothing worth bragging about.

I had both at launch and the difference in ghosts was clear enough to pass on my xbone to someone else.

LOL, i noticed the same. It's probably a Destiny example more than a downgrade.

I can already see The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight and The Division at 900p on the Potato 4

Let's try just a liiiiitttttlleee bit harder next time Shitbat.

This may like to have a word with you

Please don't tell me you're confusing 'lead platform' with a marketing deal. You cannot be this dense, even for a narclem.

It's not a conspiracy theory, breh. It's business. They won't want one of the biggest franchises of the year potentially hiving off sales of their exclusive new IP and politely ask Ubi for a little leeway considering the millions they're pumping into marketing the game for them.

The Division was delayed because it wasn't ready like Watch Dogs wasn't. Both delays were longer than two weeks.

I'd ask you to stop and think too but I'd be worried you'd do yourself an injury if you tried.

Intreresting. So, in fact, there isn't a console being "held back" by the other. At this point, at least.

The most anticipated game of the year.

To where? October and November are packed and those are the key months for big holiday releases.

Oh yeah, Halo ports, heeheeheehee. Dat drought. Thanks for making my point anyway, Halo is far bigger than Sunset Overdrive and more than capable of standing alone alongside Ass Creed.

See this is the reason why your whole pretending to be a Hermit has fail.

What UBi did there was nothing but damage control because an employee let the bag..

"We understand how senior producer Vincent Pontbriand's quotes have been misinterpreted.""

"We decided to lock them at the same specs to avoid all the debates and stuff,"

How the fu** can any one misinterpret that ^^ how.?

Is damage control there isn't parity and it will not be for the same reason the R250X has no fu**ing parity with the R265 there is a hardware gap impossible to close without gimping the stronger console.

And you are a butthurt lemming..hahaha

Count the game that are 900p on PS4 vs the xbox one 900p or lower.

I did. It would and it wouldn't. October and November is already packed out before the lucrative Black Friday shopping period. It makes more sense for Ass Creed to release alongside Halo (which are both strong enough to perform alongside each other) than if Ass Creed smothered MS' shiny new IP.

Just as well they're having a decent October/November, the rest of the year hasn't been much cop.

I got CE PS4 edition coming. :D

@tormentos: dude why are you always trying to argue. That is from guerilla own mouth .....exactly with not much AI needed in multiplayer we were able to achieve 60fps it had nothing to do with more enclosed levels lol.

Everyone knows devkits where late on the xbox side.

You keep talking about resolutions and gpu still not mentioning the low clocked high latency, low bandwidth cpu.

I said a long time ago that Sony didn't use any offloading or accelerators and that's what's going to be the down fall of the machine moving forward.

CAN'T upclock the cpu any more.

Never going to be able to fix the bandwidth problem to the cpu.

Ms on the other hand has plenty of offloading and accelerators on the xbox, from Shape, swizzle compressing/decomp., moving AI, and sky boxes to the cloud.

All you Cowboys do is talk a good game but when y'all don't know shit you come with slander and name calling, the ps4 is holding gaming back NO LET ME CORRECT MYSELF PEOPLE LIKE TORM IS HOLDING GAMING BACK, HELL YOU HOLDING THIS FORUM BACK. LOL and when that gpgpu kicks in lmao!! Really kick in? You don't know shit torm

Because next week is also jam packed. And the week after.

I agree that we have not yet seen a proper next-gen multiplat on pc but there are several pc exclusives that do things that's not found in any console games as well, like advanced RTSs and war sims that have great graphics all things considered and a shitload of things going on at the same time. So far I'm not seeing any huge improvements in the console exclusives other than better graphics and higher polygon density. I was expecting considerably larger worlds, great improvements in AI and destructible environments, things that would actually take the gameplay to a new level.

It is MS fault, they have Xbox out on the market. Without Xbox we wouldnt have parity crap with Ps4 and it wouldnt surprise me if MS paid Ubisoft to do this either...
