This game is like this year's Battlefield 4.
lol just realized.
Well at least on X1, it def smoothens out certain areas. Like the FPS is noticeably better. But as I said in the other thread, the problem is there is certain areas in the city that trigger that pre-patch performance. Where things dip substantially and jutter.
The problem is, this is an open world game, where you will traverse large distances. So you are bound to eventually hit these pockets of areas that make your FPS dip and jutter. So you are almost guaranteed to still experience the shoddy performance.
But when you do get to areas where it's 30 FPS stable, it's a big difference.
I still think walking on the ground, has improved overall though. It's just the traversing and Parkour that is still a mess when you get to certain parts of the city. When I first booted up the game post-patch, the first 10 min were really smooth. And I was like okay, this is the real deal. But as soon as I hit certain areas in the city, things were back to normal. The good thing is, that smooth locked 30 is still there when you are in certain areas. So it's def an improvement in that sense.
At least, for X1.
Aye the framerate improvement is nice, but I wish they would fix the fan bug.
It concerns me that the fan kicks in that fast when going to any menu.
It's due to the framerate apparently being unlocked during menu navigation.Ah, I actually didn't even know about the fan bug. Is that on PS4? Wow. =/

Ubisoft said:Rigorous quality control is of paramount importance to us
Well damn. I don't have that issue on X1. At least not on mine. But that really sucks.
Woah, I never played the game and I thought people just liked some random actress. The graphics look really good there.
It is quite a pretty game. Prettiest open world game yet.Woah, I never played the game and I thought people just liked some random actress. The graphics look really good there.
Coincidentally, apparently the game unpatched on ps4 has an unlocked framerate that can reach 60fps at points.Well damn. I don't have that issue on X1. At least not on mine. But that really sucks.

Do you know how shitty it would be playing a game that went from 60 to 20 constantly? Not that its much better at the moment I guessFuccckk. Really? Why don't they just give us an option for locked/unlocked

Yeah it really is a stunning looking world, best busy (pedestrian wise) open world city IMO. GTA V pedestrian wise looks quite sparse in comparison after unity - though thats an unfair comparison since GTA is a port of a prior gen game and supports all kinds of other aspects like vehicles, flying, open countryside, water/underwater etc
GTA V was delayed and I think if Unity could have had a similar amount of time delayed to polish and finish the game and its engine, it could have been a huge success.Given the free DLC / game deal I imagine Ubisoft had no idea it would blow up into such a big PR disaster. I'm also concerned this affects the next AC set in london given it uses the same engine. From impressions here it doesnt sound like they really improved things dramatically since launch.

Drops would be even more more noticeable probably. Kinda like when using the neon special move in Infamous SS with a lot of objects around.Fuccckk. Really? Why don't they just give us an option for locked/unlocked
So is this game, the gameplay is really good a step in the right direction for the series after the whole America thing. There were moments when my roommate would think I was watching a tv show while I was playing AC:Unity, particularly whenever Elise was on screen, that never happened when I played Infamous. The IQ in Infamous looks nice but I don't think it matches Unity from a pure graphical standpoint. At least not when it comes to character models.Not really, Battlefield was a good broken game.
Infamous is much nicer imo, the fact that it's running about 20fps higher in full 1080p doesn't hurt either. I did really like the scale of objects in ACU though, it's something I'd like to see more of.

Might be worth to make a new thread about this, with a "rumor" tag. Maybe it'll catch DF's attention and they'll revisit this for further analysis.
It's noted by the poster of that video that hitting the higher fps only happens when climbing towers while the game doesn't perform well while running on the ground.Yeah this is the first time I've heard about this. WTF
if it turns out that they purposely limited the PS4 performance with the Day 1 patch, and so the shitty FPS is a result of parity, that would be insane. We already knew they were doing that with the resolution. But this would be HUGE.

Yes, basically like what happened during the e3 demo. The last thing we need is another misunderstanding. >.>Ah okay. So without the patch it could hit up to 60 FPS but it wasn't the norm. Basically the FPS ublocked just went all over the place before the patch. Nmmm.
we can confirm that both performance analysis tests on this page were carried out with the day one patch installed but with both consoles running offline.

He did say the game in general runs smoother without the day 1 patch than with, that's also something I haven't heard before.
And that's because DF did their analysis WITH the day 1 patch:
I'd still be interested in a comparison with and without the day 1 patch.
Wait, she's an in game character?
Holy shit. If only the game wasn't such a technical disaster. If only.
Sigh.
If it was pretty much framerate unlocked before the day 1 patch, then it sounds like the PS4 version was extremely low on their priority list. Hell, if they went gold with the game in that state, it really sounds like they just didn't give a damn. Which would definitely explain why the game was such a freaking mess compared to the Xbox One version after that day one patch. The version was so far behind the Xbox One version that they needed more crunch time to bring it back up to snuff. Like say, at least one month.
If only the game was actually fun to play and had a enjoyable story. If only.

If it's true that the game runs smoother overall without the patch, what a fuckin mess. That said, no way to test that out? Console owners can't play without the patch or roll back patches :/
Well, you can certainly delete all the ACU content from the HDD, unplug it from the internet and just reinstall the game from disc. That should definitely work.

Is it really that unfun? I thought most complaints were technical and heard they improved the parkouring stuff
it's easy to go 60 fps (looking the ground, face a corner) in situation where there is pretty much nothing or nothing happen (more or less)
basicaly what he said....it's irrelevant thougth cause far from vast majority of gameplay situation (expecially in this game)
I also don't particularly like the progression of gear compared to previous entries. For most of the first half of the game, it shows you all the incredible gear you can't have and tries to tempt you to use micro transactions to get them.
But if I had to really pinpoint the thing that bothers me most about the game, I really think the story is incredibly uninteresting and the host of technical issues definitely detract greatly from the experience.

Um what? The game never shows you microtransactions, you have to click a button within one of the menus to access them. And you can buy a ton of the top level gear after one four or five star heist mission. And a shit ton of the locked gear is locked behind co-op missions, (that can be played solo for those reading.), not microtransactions.I also don't particularly like the progression of gear compared to previous entries.

That part about microtransactions is bull, the game gives you more than enough in-game money to buy everything naturally, or you can just play the heist mission for the painting and get 68K to give yourself a huge advantage. Or upgrade the cafe theater to get 40K of income every twenty minutes. It's easier to upgrade Arno than it is to upgrade the jackdaw.Man those last 2 paragraphs just killed it for me.
Microtransactions? Really? The only ones I can remember for Black Flag were ship supplies, which I never felt were needed as I racked up quite a bit by just playing the game. My ship is already almost maxed
Yeah. But if it's true that the game overall runs smoother without the patch (even if it doesn't hit 60)...that's really fucked. I have no idea if that is true. But if it is.
Someone with the disc version should test this out.

he also put console offline.
This probably make a difference at launch (maybe less now)
