[shinobi602]

lol, I guess the only 1080 games are going to be Killzone, Ghosts and Forza

And Assassin's Creed IV.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Unless you're like most of the modern world and don't even have a PC to run these games or just simply doesn't want to deal with PC. I don't have that problem with my PC but I don't know anyone who has a rig that can run games well.

Huh? Most of the modern world doesn't have a pc that could play this game, but will have a PS4/Xbox One? Most of the modern world will not have either next gen console.

If you want the best experience not just on this game but EVERY multiplat game over the next gen, get a pc. It's that simple. Might set you back a little more than a PS4 or Xbox One, but it'll pay dividends in the end. The reduced cost of games alone should easily make up the added cost of a pc over the course of a year.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

PC for me. Next gen is becoming more crappier every day.

You're shocked a cross gen game on brand new hardware isn't running at it's full potential? This must be your first gaming console...

 

[chickdigger802]

kinda wish next gen consoles would give users the option... not as detailed visual options as on pc... but let me turn off all those cool for 2 minute, random 'nextgen' shit for better performance.

i don't give a damn about trash and debris realistically flowing around the world.

 

[SapientWolf]

oh god, really. Uplay... its like developers don't want me to buy their PC games.

Oh, it's not just a problem for PC games anymore.

 

[Leks]

is it in the anvil engine ?

No, Disrupt Engine.

 

[backbreaker65]

Why do people keep shitting on devs about 60fps and sub 1080 games? If this was year 3 in the console cycle, I could understand, but launch titles have to make concessions to make due to getting used to new dev kits that are moving targets.

 

[Khaz]

They should confirm 1080p/60fps on the PC SteamBox.

 

[foxbeldin]

So you're saying that MS is paying Ubisoft to gimp the PS4 version? That's quite an accusation.

Wouldn't surprise me from MS. Would suprise me from Ubi.

 

[fertygo]

We got our Thread of the day folks.

 

[MrBud360]

First gen games people........ remember GUN?

then later......

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Cancel the generation

 

[Brainiac 8]

That next gen magic!

 

[creyas]

Not surprising.

I'll choose PC for 30fps multiplats.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Where'd you get that smiley from

 

[Chamber]

Touche. Still the least excited I've been about a gen. I want my 60fps on consoles. =/

Seriously though, I hope 60 fps wasn't an actual expectation for this game. Resolution is the only news here.

 

[Jeels]

I cant see MS letting the PS4 have a framerate and res advantage.

If Xbone is 720 MS will make sure they make the PS4 version the same

I legitimately fear this.

 

[Durante]

From the way this is formulated, I'd assume that both consoles will render at something between 720p and 1080p, and probably different resolutions. Of course, it could be that PS4 hits 1080p and XB1 doesn't, and they don't want to state this plainly.

 

[Alchemist]

It's going to be 720p. The live demo at Eurogamer yesterday looked pretty bad. Really disappointing.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Glad I cancelled my preorder. No excuse for that game to not be 1080p/60fps.

Because this is ALL THAT MATTERS in video games. I mean, I get it, I want nice looking, smooth games too, but you're going to be cancelling a lot of pre-orders if your standard is 1080p at 60.

 

[Skilletor]

There are plent of valid excuses for an open world game not being 60fps. What was the last open world game you played at 60FPS outside of PC? Do you think Witcher 3 or The Order is going to be 60FPS? If so, you're in for some disappointment. There's a difference between running down a corridor and true open world.

Those games aren't cross-gen.

 

[funkystudent]

So you're saying that MS is paying Ubisoft to gimp the PS4 version? That's quite an accusation.

Notting dumb like that. I am saying Microsoft could require framerate / resolution parity with PS4 for all multiplat games. Not just going after it on a game by game basis.

 

[Smokey]

Welp. Pc it is for me then..

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I cant see MS letting the PS4 have a framerate and res advantage.

If Xbone is 720 MS will make sure they make the PS4 version the same

What does MS have to do with it, especially seeing the partnership between Ubisoft and Sony right now?

I could see EA pulling something like this. Maybe. Not Ubisoft.

 

[Freki]

This seals the deal for me - PC it is...

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Maybe there are no generations. Maybe generations of consoles is just a buzz word to lure people into buying the next a-bit-more-powerful-thing.


If so, why would anyone expect 1080p/60FPS? Relative to what? This games has breathtaking details from what we've seen. Why would anything change from the previous generation, in that many companies push the fidelity to the max to hype itself up during screenshots and trailers.

I don't understand, why people have expectations for things that are not real outside their own minds.

 

[Valnen]

Oh, it's not just a problem for PC games anymore.

At least Uplay doesn't break multiplayer on consoles. I couldn't play Splinter Cell: Conviction with a friend at all thanks to Uplay issues on PC.

 

[Dark Octave]

Not surprising.

I'll choose PC for 30fps multiplats.

Same here. PS4 will strictly be a console exclusives and Ubi/EA machine.

 

[Blizzje]

Despite confirming the frame rate, though, Morin could not confirm the game's native resolution on next-gen platforms, claiming that he didn't know whether the game would run at 720p or 1080p.

[Hugh Jackman in The Prestige] How can he not know?!

 

[Eggbok]

But Assassin's Creed 4 is 60fps............

 

[Freki]

Same here. PS4 will strictly be a console exclusives machine.

That's my plan as well :-D

 

[Stallion Free]

But Assassin's Creed 4 is 60fps............

In multiplayer.

 

[Prine]

Saw live demo today at Eurogamer expo running on PS4, you guys are going to be as disappointed as me. Looked like a decent current gen game. Assassins Creed 4 looks much better.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Is the only place to pre-order Watch Dogs on the PC through UPlay?

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Why do people keep shitting on devs about 60fps and sub 1080 games? If this was year 3 in the console cycle, I could understand, but launch titles have to make concessions to make due to getting used to new dev kits that are moving targets.

It's based on the x86 architecture. Developers should be really well versed in developing on it. No excuses

 

[Chamber]

Welp. Pc it is for me then..

Always the safe choice for a guy with SLI'd Titans.

 

[cyberheater]

I cant see MS letting the PS4 have a framerate and res advantage.

If Xbone is 720 MS will make sure they make the PS4 version the same

That's quite some conspiracy theory you have there. You'll need one of these.

 

[Dylan]

Maybe you can buy FPS's via microtransaction.

 

[Riky]

If they are porting from PC then I assume this is down to getting so many versions ready for launch? These machines should be far easier to port to compared to 360/PS3 so it must be a deadline thing.

 

[Zatoichi's Cane]

This is an absolute joke. I hope people don't support this nonsense. I'd really like to know what's holding back PS4 version, because I'm sure that it has the power to handle 1080p/30.

 

[prag16]

Yikes. If this is 720p30 on PS4/xbone that doesn't bode well for what the PS360U versions will look like.

 

[Zornack]

lol, I guess the only 1080 games are going to be Killzone, Ghosts and Forza

Aren't Knack and Driveclub 1080p?

 

[n!smo]

So you're saying that MS is paying Ubisoft to gimp the PS4 version? That's quite an accusation.

I don´t exactly know in which phase of game development the resolution is set, but I think it should be known now.

Maybe it is more of a "political problem" as some anonymous dev stated a while ago.

 

[heyf00L]

If they don't know, that probably means they're having trouble. And if they're having trouble, that probably means 720p.

 

[ConteZero76]

This is UbiSoft.
Added bonus: Uplay.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Aren't Knack and Driveclub 1080p?

I believe so

 

[bLaiSe]

720p would be a bit disappointing on next gen. AC4 runs at 1080p right?

 

[shinobi602]

Saw live demo today at Eurogamer expo running on PS4, you guys are going to be as disappointed as me. Looked like a decent current gen game. Assassins Creed 4 looks much better.

Did it look like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEeEoU2wyXg

If it did, I'm more than satisfied.

 

[blastprocessor]

Same here. PS4 will strictly be a console exclusives.

Slight tweak but will pretty much be the case as per PS3.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

He doesn't know? Really?

He does know; he's just not answering because he knows we won't like the truth.
