Does anyone really believe anything Ubisoft has to say about a games resolution prior to launch?

4K UHD is terminology used by all the movie distribution companies yes also Sony Home Entertainment, I was very surprised to read some members here didn't even have a clue that it's a normal thing in the scene.
Yes people should pay attention to the ™ after the logo.
For instance I could trademark "2160 UHD" (I'm sure someone already did it haha) and then put it on my 1080p bluray player and trick people into buying it because they think it output 2160p and my defense would be, "oh no that just means it accepts a 2160p signal from a disc, but it can't actually output it", like early "UltraHD-ready" TVs.

Just look how bad watch dogs ran on the 2080. I couldn't care less about anything ubisoft besides R6 or Splinter Cell.
But the meltdowns are glorious considering how long the "fud" campaign has been going on in the spec thread.
I wouldn't care about resolution. Now if we see 4k/60fps vs 4k/30fps , that'd be something to be upset over imo.

TBH I've read the whole banner and it goes like this:
First it talks about Ubisoft, then Far Cry, its original creator, then Cryengine.
The next row is about PS4 , PS5 and their trademarks.
At this point, they start talking about XBOX, and how the game is gonna be 4k Ultra Hd only on Xbox One X and Series X, and how HDR is only possible on XB1S consoles and newer ones.
Use your brains, have you ever seen someone advertising a platform specific resolution in announcement trailers??
Nope, they are only telling us we need X1X or XSX to get 4K with the Xbox version!!!!
Otherwise I'm sorry guys, we won't be able to use 4K on PC

I've seen him around as an insider, but after leaking the wrong date for the PS5 price reveal, and even having articles use his tweet as a source I'm skepticalAhhhh, here we go
Edit: does anybody know where I can find such statement from Ubisoft?? Who is this Serrano guy??

This place will be glorious when the consoles hit the shelves. Camp Xbox pounced on the piece of meat and are wolfing it down like a tasty carcass.
And that’s just for a game that may or may not be 4K on PS5(hint; it will be 4K).
Imagine when the real war begins.

The PS5 hardware does have dedicated ray tracing cores in it so I don't see why it wouldn't have limited ray tracing.
I agree that they fudged up the marketing for the game. And I have a feeling other publishers are going to confuse the different Xboxs with each other.

If you took time to read comments in this thread you'll notice that people already explained the confusion (TBH it was self explanatory) and didn't need any explanation since PS5>X One X, but hey guess there are some exeptions.
Xbox One X will run Current Gen assets at 4K, and assuming that there was a Deal
, that was Sweeney.Don't worry PS5 wont explode if it runs the game.
Didn't expect any less of you, keep it coming

To all the deniers, how do you suppose a 20% gap in GPU performance is supposed to be reflected or are they supposed to force parody between the systems gimping the Series X version to make you feel better?

No its only 480P on ps5, call timdog.
It is. The reason why you're getting 4k on both gens is because the mandate from MS is res or frames at all costs. So it will be interesting to see the difference in visual fidelity.
Since the game is crossgen they couldn't take advantage of the SSD because of the lowest common denominator so they pulled a bunch of sliders down.
So the question is what will the Ps5 version look like? Looks like ubi engine is shit at scalability.
All this is moot anyway because the game is not an exclusive and therefore the PC version will be the superior.

Lol next-gen assets?
Do the PS5 and XSX have difference assets to PC now or something?

Actually this brings up a good point. Did you honestly think that Far Cry 6 was going to deliver some unbelievable, groundbreaking, revolutionary gameplay experience were it not for Ubi's desire to put it on last gen? Come on. We all know exactly how this game is going to look and play and it would look and play the exact same way if it was a PS5/XSX exclusive. This series has been stuck in the mud since 2012. The most advanced title came out in 2008 and played well on the damn Xbox 360.
The vast, vast, vast majority of games are not revolutionary, not groundbreaking, and do not need some high end hardware.

They said it runs at settings above PC Max settings (lets assume thats bullshit and its PC Ultra to be safe/unfair to XSX) at 4K at 120 fps. A 2080ti runs the Gears 5 benchmark at 4K + Max Settings at 60 fps average (lows 57, highs 63, so actually 60), so it seems pretty impressive to me.
EDIT - Just found out thats for MP, SP will probably be 60hz or lower settings. Sorry for confusion.

It's redundant. 4k is like saying 1080p, but 1080p is also called Full HD, or FHD. UHD (Ultra HD) is 4k. Sometimes they say 4k Ultra HD just to include it in all there, but it would be like saying 1080p Full HD.

Man, this thread is just a few pages long, but some SSD fanatics here....
Everyone warned you that you're bending/denying the reality, and at the end of the day you'll hurt no one but yourself, and now look how far it got you. I said some time ago that whenever PS5 will perform worse than XBX (which was so obvious by just looking at the specs) that you will use the "lazy devs" argument, but I admit, I heavily underestimate you, I'd never though you'll came up with a conspiracy theory that MS paid the devs to purposely cripple the PS5 version. This is so low and pathetic. Well who knows, maybe MS also paid Epic so the UE5 demo also didn't run at 4K?
Please, stop doing it to yourself, you know you don't believe that.
Because the PS5 was suppose to be the most "efficient", "balanced", "no bottleneck" designed console ever created, no? It's not obvious if your in denial, it's sort of like being in love, you neglect all the negative things you don't want to hear, and no one can convince you until you get back in touch with reality again. It was expected/given since March 18th, but some just didn't want to believe it.

They said they are adding 120fps to multiplayer, not that the game runs twice as fast as the highest end PC hardware available. The game should be running at 4K/60fps with those additional settings on Series X, and those settings will hopefully come to PC.

Well reread my comment and change the word Ultra to Max then, it doesn't change what I said, just nomenclature.

It sounded unbelieveable to me when I heard it, but thats what MS devs said they had done, its in this video:
Haha I went to find the video and read it was 120hz for the MP, its 60hz for SP, makes more sense now! Sorry for confusion.
Whoops, here is the vid:

This was always going to happen, all that spinning on the hidden SSD power was going to be exposed the closer we get to release.
I have maintained that Ray Tracing is next generations big feature and the Series X is built with that in mind. The difference between the PS5/Series X to current generation is Ray-tracing and this is where the scalability will be in full effect and why past generations aren't going to hold back games.
We already had close to 3 years of Xbox One X > PS4 Pro and that will continue for the foreseeable future only at an even large gap due to Series X CU that will push Ray tracing easier than on the PS5.
The sooner people come to terms with that the better, because there isn't going to be some magic sauce to make that up, unless we get mid-generation refreshes again and Sony addresses its obvious short comings when it comes to CPU and GPU that drive the system.

There are so many more variables to factor in than solely saying X console can run Y game at 4k and the other Z console does not. Really need to see a tech analysis before people start with knee-jerk reactions.

There’s been a lot of confusion regarding Gears 5 because gaming "journalists" just pounced on the story and wanted to be the first to get it out rather than give accurate details.
They benhcmarked the XSX against a PC sporting a 2080. Both at Ultra settings(no extra Ultra+ settings on XSX) and the XSX was reportedly a tiny bit behind the 2080 making it essentially on par.
Have to specify the port was jumbled up in two weeks.
My guess is those Ultra+ settings will be possible but the XSX will have to use dynamic res to maintain 60 with them enabled.

"Guys this is the absolute proof we were right all along! We warned you not to get your hopes up!" - Let me just sit in this corner eating popcorn waiting for the clarification that PS5 also runs it at 4K, if that clarification never comes, you guys have this one I guess but man... it feels more than obvious this is PR speak, they don't even accurately name the other Xbox console capable of 4K gaming.

Aye I changed my post above, didn't realise it was 120hz for MP only and 60hz for SP.
I was just straight up wrong about the settings, sorry about that. Pretty disappointing now that I know that to be honest. It was pretty confusing since he said some of the settings are above Ultra at first then that actually it isn't after that.
Cheers for being civil.

Dude, c'mon. If the game they created simply can't run it at that level, it doesn't mean the game itself is crap. You shouldn't sacrifice your own pleasure and experience because a game has less "p's". That's a fanboy mentality. Don't be a fanboy.

Yeah, but a Twitter PR person usually knows nothing about those things.... He even mispelled Xbox One X!
And again, no one has ever announced platforms' resolutions in trailers!!!!
Sony would never allow that.
The text was a bit misleading, and the Twitter guy fell into it

They're above Ultra for some settings, but they plan to keep using that dynamic resolution scaler like the did in the current gen versions instead of locking the resolution to 4K.
