Time to boycott Activision and Ubisoft

So apparently, AC: IV will be 900p on the PS4 until a patch that makes the game 1080p. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. It happened with CoD: Ghosts.

See, here's the funny thing: CoD: Ghosts is 720p on the Xbone. AC: IV is 900p on the Xbone. Does anyone find it fishy how the PS4's resolution was the same as the Bone's resolution? I'd wager my PS4 that both companies were aiming for graphical parity before wisening up and realizing SONY will crush MS next gen.

Last I've heard, both Ubisoft and Activision were in support of the Bone's DRM policies.

How can Ps4 have 900p if it is said it has native 1080p

why would you boycott them? not that it would actually work anyways

The anti-sony conspiracy is getting ridiculous

You have deep serious issues kid. Stay in school and seek help.

Why would I support a company who is intentionally gimping my potential experience to please a jackass company?

Would you support a company that endorses NAMBLA?

But, you have no idea if that is true...

You notice he provides no link.

Would be more productive to boycott your threads.

says 1080p on the box.

Learn to read. It's currently 900p with no AA because Ubisoft wanted graphical parity.

After finding out how abysmal the preorders have been going for the Xbone, they decided to work on improving the PS4 version with 1080p and AA so they don't end up pissing off the majority of gamers. The "Not enough time to optimize for the PS4" is a BS excuse. Porting from the PC to the PS4 takes 2-3 weeks.

Any links?

but they're not...

And releasing a patch after release is significantly different from endorsing pedophiles

Any link from Ubisoft statment of that?

Listen to this man. He is trying to help you.

Sooooooooo, no link ?

Not sure why OP is dragging X1 into this.

What should PC gamers say?

All companies are gimping our experience to make games playable for consoles.

At a certain point you stop whining about it and just play what you want.

I miss the days of System Wars when it was possible to believe that the trolls actually believed what they were typing.

Or maybe that's just because I was younger.

Dumbest reason for a boycott I've ever heard. That both Activison and Ubi struggled to get 1080p on Ps4 makes it likely Sony is involved in this somehow (driver updates that forces them to patch or something). This is a tiny problem for a game in over two years development (AC4). Stop being a baby.

Boycott Activision? That would mean you would miss out on Destiny

I don't think we've had confirmation of XB1's version of AC:BF resolution yet. It would be rather suspicious though if it does turn out to be turn that the resolutions mysteriously matched up and a quick patch was able to suddenly find the performance for a pretty big resolution upgrade. Early development verses late development you can see that sort of thing, but from the time they went gold till day 1, not so much. Still, I wouldn't boycott them over it, I'd just keep an eye on it.

BIASED(link).

this is getting stupid now.

because it supports the resolution... Though upscaling. All X360 games say 1080p on the box but most of them are actually sub-HD.

I've never heard of a game patching resolution, it's just weird.

Seems like these consoles and dev kits were just rushed to the max, or something...

What's it have to do with the system? Ubi could have delayed it a couple weeks and launched it at 1080p, but it wouldn't have met the launch date.. It's the dev who rushed the game to meet the launch date and understandably so...

It would be funny if BF4 was 720p on PS4 and require a patch to make it 900p...

2 different companies with the same issue,maybe MS is trying to enforce parity at launch in resolution.

I think im with boycotting these threads. usually cow threads are funny but you seriously think this is true with no link to any type of proof. its just sad

Oh noes

you never heard of Dark Souls on PC stuck at 720p and then patched to 1080p? Or ratio patching on PCSX2 games? =/

I suppose so.

I'm talking consoles here, as in 360 and Ps3 I never heard of it happening ever.

Dunno what you're talking about for the other thing.

Whats really going on is that devs are purposely holding back the rez on PS4 versions until the game comes out so that all the comparison vids look similar.

First CoD, now AC4...

Why do they need to PATCH resolutions to 1080p? The textures are already on the disc?

Why would they disable them? Some sort of mischief relating to Xbox One I suppose?

I'm playing KZ right now and it looks beautiful in native 1080p!

Because ever since patching became popular developers have been using it for everything. It is quite a horrible habit that's being more and more common on newly released games. It's pretty annoying purchasing something to then have to wait until it's fixed. Why not sell it fixed already? all these day 1 patches suck.

North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes?

Yes.

Here's a link to the UBISOFT blog.

Ya, I just assumed it was native because of previous threads
