The Verge says that Assassin's Creed runs at 900p on XB1, and 1080p on PS4. However it also has a nasty upscaling filter that is provided by the XB1 that overly darkens the picture and sharpens the image considerably. (lots more talk about that in this thread.) Here's the comparison:

Here's an example of what the sharpening filter is doing to games. Both images below are of Battlefield 4 on XB1, upscaled to 1080p from 720p:
Recently Digital Foundry did another look at the Battlefield XB1 version, and the sharpening filter applied to the older build was removed. So this is something devs can easily toggle/remove if they choose to.
Please, for gawds sakes devs, don't use this upscale filter, or remove it via patch. It looks so, so bad.
(Known affected games so far: AC: Black Flag, Killer Instinct, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Dead Rising 3, Powerstar Golf)
NOTE: You can disable this filter by forcing your XB1 to always output at 720p.
