Lol wtf kind of response is that

 

[Crossing Eden]

We knew the patch was coming, though. I don't think one is coming here.

They just said that they're planning to bump the resolution up to 1080p for the ps4 version. It's in the OP.

 

[Psyrgery ES]

Oh boy

 

[Brannon]

why would anyone buy the ps4version lol
pc should be the version you should get

PC version of an ubisoft game? I see you like to live dangerously...

 

[Waylon Drums]

What the fuck? I hope this bites them in the ass a little. Even if sales aren't hurt, hopefully some gaming journalist will grow some proverbial balls and press them on the issue.

 

[Xater]

Their marketing deal with MS probably also had nothing to do with it.

Whatever, AC is not a game I was going to buy anymore anyway. Maybe once it plays like Shadow of Mordor I might care again.

 

[nhlducks35]

Fuck off Ubi

 

[Boke1879]

Won't be buying this game now until a 1080p patch is announced for the PS4 version. Good job Ubisoft. You lost a sure buy by pulling this shit.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

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

Is this real? Reads like an article from The Onion.

 

[dc89]

Wow. Pls don't let this become a trend.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

That June SDK is a BEAST

 

[Marlenus]

No 1. If you are CPU limited then increasing the resolution will have a minor impact on the actual frame rate.

No 2. Unless you are aiming for 1080p on both consoles parity should not be an option. If you can hit 900p on Xbox One you can hit 1080p on PS4. Hitting 1080p on both and not bothering to turn on extra AA or other special features is one thing but gimping the PS4 version because you want to avoid the discussion is BS.

 

[Alucrid]

They just said that they're planning to bump the resolution up to 1080p for the ps4 version. It's in the OP.

no it's not

Last year's Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag also shipped at 900p/30fps on both PS4 and Xbox One. A post-release patch, however, bumped the PS4 version to 1080p. Ubisoft has given no indication that it has plans to do the same for Unity.

 

[Orniletter]

I think there is irony in there somewhere. Or is it ironic that in trying to avoid a shitstorm, they have created one?

I´m sure nobody would have said a thing if it would have been the usual

XBone 900p, PS4 1080p at the same framerate....but intentionally holding one version back ?
Yeah...

 

[Blimblim]

The broll footage we for for our preview is from the xbox one version according to ubisoft, and except for some framerate issues I think it looks quite great. I had to include it in our interview (French only sorry), but you can check it there:

ubiLol.

So I wonder how long this info will be glossed over in the thread?

If they're locking it for parity, what makes you think they'll bother patching it?

 

[VisceralBowl]

No.

Good thing I play on PC.

 

[CambriaRising]

These companies are so out of touch. I was on the fence about getting this game, now I won't at all.

 

[Maintenance]

Haha, forced parity. Oh man, this is great.

They just said that they're planning to bump the resolution up to 1080p for the ps4 version. It's in the OP.

No, they didn't.

 

[Einbroch]

They just said that they're planning to bump the resolution up to 1080p for the ps4 version. It's in the OP.

Read it again. The journalist is talking about what they did the Black Flag, then immediately afterwards says they have made no plans to do it to Unity.

 

[orava]

 

[BronsonLee]

They just said that they're planning to bump the resolution up to 1080p for the ps4 version. It's in the OP.

Hrm? Where? I thought they were talking about Black Flag. I'm pretty sure they are.

 

[_woLf]

Cool, no longer buying this at launch. Will wait for inevitable half price black friday sale.

Fuck you too, Ubisoft.

 

[Certinty]

Ridiculous. I own both consoles and was going to get this on the PS4 just to play with friends but now they might have just lost a sale.

 

[Lo-Volt]

They just said that they're planning to bump the resolution up to 1080p for the ps4 version. It's in the OP.

No, the only reference in the article to a resolution patch was for Black Flag. Nothing like that was confirmed for Unity.

I'm also surprised someone at Ubisoft was caught dead saying something like that. Did they even try to come up with another reason for holding one of the versions of this title back? It's the kind of thing that probably won't go noticed by most consumers, admittedly, but the buyers most prone to debate this stuff won't care for that kind of rationale, judging by GAF's response.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

They really thought doing that would stop debates .
There just making things worst since this is all people will talk about .

 

[ZeroX03]

This doesn't change anything for me, ACIV looked fine pre-patch. But they really need to stop whoever is making these awful design decisions and partnering them whoever makes these awful statements. This game must be choking from constantly having it's own foot in it's mouth.

 

[Chobel]

Oh Microsoft

How does this have anything to do with MS? Am I missing a joke here?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Lol wtf kind of response is that

A shitty but honest one. But I look forward to their response to the reaction of this. You know it's coming. I'll give it a day.

 

[jcm]

Some Ubi PR person just blew a gasket. "You were just supposed to say CPU-bound, man. Why did you say we are purposefully targeting parity?"

 

[KJRS_1993]

A little annoying, but the game still looks really good to actually play. I don't notice boring stuff like the resolution anyway.

 

[omonimo]

Wait a minute. 900p on xone but not 1080p on ps4 because CPU sucks. Better CPU on xone
than? Goosh

 

[longdi]

Orly? Lies! More lies!

I wonder if Sony felt betrayed in all of this? They did a lot to market Asscred games on PlayStation.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Sheeeeeit. That's an... interesting stance to take haha

 

[Skilletor]

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

Is this real? Reads like an article from The Onion.

Yeah, that sounds hella suspect.

 

[OneTwoTee]

Hilarious, well done Ubisoft

Spoiler

I'll get it on PC and deal with their shitty optimization ;(

and Uplay. Don't forget the disaster that is Uplay.

Was there no ubisoft PR guy when they did the interview? Certainly seems like there wasn't.

 

[XanaviF30]

1080p on PS4 or GTFO!

 

[Sendou]

I would say this choice will cause even more debate.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

what a bunch of crap.

 

[Canis lupus]

Parity? Lol good bye Ubisoft.

 

[GutsOfThor]

why would anyone buy the ps4version lol
pc should be the version you should get

What a stupid fucking question. Maybe the people who would buy the PS4 version are ones who don't have a gaming pc?

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

How does this have anything with MS? Am I missing a joke here?

Xbox one is the weaker console.
Microsoft has exklusive marketing for Unity.

Parity achieved because Ubisoft liked Microsofts money.

 

[nib95]

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

What the....Fuck you Ubisoft.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

They just said that they're planning to bump the resolution up to 1080p for the ps4 version. It's in the OP.

No they didn't.

Ubisoft has given no indication that it has plans to do the same for Unity.

 

[TheRealTalker]

lol at Ubi Parity


seriously your angering a userbase that is more then twice the size of the other

 

[Crossing Eden]

no it's not

Oh shit you're right. I misread that. Carry on then.

 

[Grisby]

Stuff and thangs'.

 

[Kysen]

They can get fucked, they actually admit that the GPU isn't the bottleneck then go on to say that the resolution will suffer anyway. What the fuck does AI have to do with effects done on the GPU.

 

[Einbroch]

How does this have anything with MS? Am I missing a joke here?

It likely does. MS has the marketing campaign for Unity, unlike all previous games which were Sony. It's not out of the realm of possibility that they paid/nudged Ubisoft to limit the PS4 version.
