Tech Analysis: Assassin's Creed 4

[QUOTE="Ginosaji"]

Consolites trying to rationalize subpar frame rates. Movies aren't filmed at 24 fps because it's magically better than higher frame rates. It was minimized to keep costs down and has become a standard.

Agh, I'm on a mac right now so I can't really copy and paste the link, but the CEO of Ubisoft said himself that the game was under development for 3 years. It was one of the reasons why I was hyped for the game.

Didn't the 3 years include making the new engine?

Nah, I don't expect any time in the X1/PS4 lifecycle where the majority of games will run at 60 FPS. On consoles, for most games, a rock solid 30 FPS is good enough, it's better to use the extra power for more eye-candy.

Why are you buying both consoles then?

[QUOTE="soulitane"] Not hard to believe, ubisoft (especially the AC teams) have a lot of staff, whether those 3 years were put to good use though is another story.

It was called Anvil Next, it was supposed to look really "next gen". AC III did look really good on consoles especially with all the AI and weather effects, so I can see why that would take a lot of dev time.

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"]No, like i said the refresh rate of projector based theaters is based on 24 fps and 48 fps, anything in between would not function. monitors and TVs can display images at 30 and 60 fps because their refresh rate allows it, 120hz displays are also capable of displaying native 24 fps.Ginosaji

I'm aware. But this is only so because it has become the standard. They could have arbitrarily selected another number. There's nothing magical about the number 24.

Our early analysis based on the presentation given at the Sony E3 event gives a result that appears locked for the most part in the 30fps range, with absolutely no tearing.

I thought it was running at 60fps:(

where is the freaking x1 version at

# M$ get a grip will ya, sort it out

There is a reason why they don't show any multiplatform game so that a comparison could be made,it would not surpise me if developers were actually NDA bound to not show the xbox one version if they show the PS4 one.

We would have to wait unti release to know.

Remember when this series was about blending in with crowds, tailing a target, and inconspicuously murdering that target?

your sigs always crack me up :lol:

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="parkurtommo"] Especially in games like these where the 30 fps can be beneficial for a more cinematic feel. Even as a PC gamer I can admit that 30 fps can be better in some games.StrongBlackVine

really? :P I'm glad then. They piss off some people lol

If you want 60fps you go PC for multiplats everyone knows that. It does disappoint me but I it's not that the new consoles lack the power, it's just that the devs don't fully know the consoles yet. tagyhag

Console games finally reaching Crysis' physics. :lol:
