The parity is real seeing as 30-40% increased performance is being unused.

 

[Metaroo]

... if I'm following this correctly ... that shouldn't exactly be the case right? Doesn't the PS4 just have more raw processing power?

 

[Xando]

They should test the mission after the prison

Spoiler

when you become a assassin

pretty sure it went into single digits in the church.

 

[Canucked]

This day just gets better and better.

 

[Exile20]

lol at XOne performing better than PS4.

I chuckled when I read that.

 

[Durante]

Dat 3% overclocked. Sorry but lol. It's completely illogical what's happened here.

The CPU clock speed is roughly 10% higher on XB1 I thought.

 

[WarlockTheWise]

What do all 4 billion Ubisoft employee's do? is there just one programmer working on the game while everyone else is marketing or something?

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Holy crap that's gonna be good

 

[LyleLanley]

This is the final twist of the knife, really. There is absolutely no reason to think that the PS4 version is at 900p because of anything other than MS's involvement.

This games development seems to have been a complete mess, but I don't think there's any way, at least not yet, to definitively say that this is because of some direct involvement from Microsoft.

 

[megabytecr]

Would not get this game on either one, awful performance. They overshot this project!

You know, I'm willing to be that isn't the reason. Look at the rest of the game's technical issues and I'm thinking you'll agree that Ubi just shit the bed themselves.

....lol; you aren't serious are you? (Poe's Law)

<looks for tinfoil hat>

 

[inky]

They achieved disparity.

 

[Reg]

frame-rate is a clusterfuck across the board.

 

[Impeccable]

My final word on Assassin's Creed: Unity - fuck you, Ubisoft, fuck you.

 

[dreamfall]

Uh oh...

 

[JetBlackPanda]

with ubisofts help Xbox is picking itself up off the mat?

good hell what is going on at ubisoft? First the parity comments and now this?

wow.

 

[JayEH]

Wow, the frame rate only hits 30 when you're on a roof or indoors it seems. It's consistently in the low 20s when in that amazing Ubisoft patented 10,000 NPC crowd.

 

[liquidtmd]

NPCs present in the game world, which can go into the low hundreds under specific conditions. It's an ambitious vision - but it comes at the expense of raw performance.

Its insane is what it is.

'Look! Hundreds of identikit figures! The frame rate may goto shit but hundreds of em!'

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Let this be a lesson to developers who focus on anything other than pees, framerate and AA. Sure, put a game in there, but don't get carried away.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

THE GAP IS CLOSED!

And a new one opens!!!

 

[omonimo]

The CPU clock speed is roughly 10% higher on XB1 I thought.

Yeah but hardware memory/bandwith on ps4 should be able to help a lot in such situations.

 

[Interfectum]

The Xbox One CPU flexing it's muscle.

 

[Windom Earle]

Looking at the framerate video, the game is permanently sub 30 on both consoles. What a mess of a game.

 

[Schryver]

Ubisoft needs some new programmers

 

[V_Ben]

Well, this is going to be interesting. I think every platform could have used another 6 months more polish, really.

 

[Alchemy]

1000 monkeys at keyboards trying to make a video game. Something is really screwy, there are a couple of places it looks like the PS4 holds 30 while the XO dips a little but once the game moves out doors with crowds the PS4 suffers more. Only thing I can imagine is the game is maxing out all elements of the XO, benefiting from a slight CPU overclock, and just sitting on extra GPU resources on the PS4. So when the PS4 is just sitting there rendering, it does so slightly better then the XO.

 

[Nirolak]

 

[Raptor]

Selling my PS4 as we speak.

 

[sn00zer]

Wooooow thing barely hits 30...ppl were not kidding

 

[Majmun]

Such a clusterfuck of a game.

 

[Zoned]

 

[B.O.O.M]

Phil Spenser FX on the Xbone version

 

[daveo42]

Not to spin up conspiracy theory, but I imagine co-marketing meant MS was more hands-on with the XB1 version...

...also, isn't the XB1 cpu a smidge faster (seems this game is very CPU-intensive)?

We were never told the final speed of the PS4 CPU, so it is possible but highly illogical that Ubi wouldn't use GPGPU to make up the difference needed. It does beg the question as to how hard they actually tried to push the new systems.

 

[The Llama]

The CPU clock speed is roughly 10% higher on XB1 I thought.

IIRC the rumors are XB1 is 1.75Ghz, PS4 is 1.6GHz BUT there was a dev on here who said you could get more out of the PS4 CPU. That was pre the "10% no Kinect boost" (or whatever it ended up being), so its possible the XB1 has more CPU power.

 

[Gryph]

I'm looking forward to the tell all book about this console competition.

Sort of a Smartest Guys in the Room for Gaf...

 

[-griffy-]

I am intensely curious to see how Far Cry 4 turns out due to...differing circumstances surround that release compared to this one.

 

[TheYanger]

Wait, you mean all along when people were saying the CPU was going to be the deciding factor for this type of game, they weren't just lying because of moneyhats?

 

[Amir0x]

This shit is fucking hilarious

 

[LTWood12]

Framerate is fucking atrocious. How the hell did this get out the door?!

 

[R3TRODYCE]

1000 monkeys at keyboards trying to make a video game.

Sounds like a good show.

 

[majik13]

what happened to Parity ubi? Now we have the XOne performing better, wtf?

how hard would it be to just pull back or reduced the amount of NPs to get performance back?

 

[Resident_UA]

Lol. I'm glad I'm just renting this. It occasionally hits 30 frames!

 

[Holygriever]

"Parity achieved!"

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

THE GAP IS CLOSED!

No, the gap has widened in favour of Xbox One

 

[wapplew]

THE GAP IS CLOSED!

Is reverse!
We've got COD AW and AC unity both runs better on xbox. Game over.

 

[SRTtoZ]

lol

 

[bananafactory]

... if I'm following this correctly ... that shouldn't exactly be the case right? Doesn't the PS4 just have more raw processing power?

PS4 is more powerful, but it's entirely possible they lead developed on the X1 then did a quick and dirty port to PS4 without optimizing it at all.

 

[GeoramA]

How is that even possible? Sounds like they just ported it to PS4 and didn't bother tweaking it or anything. What a fucking joke.

 

[MarkV]

At least we can not complain about parity.
