This new AA method seems to be gaining traction. The first game to use it was Killzone if I'm not mistaken. Any idea if it will make it ways to the PC?

Assassins's Creed PS4 is now 1080p with AA.

Finally got some decent time with Black Flag, the image quality is very noticeable but besides that, this game is actually fun. Light years beyond the other AC titles.

Shit! I'm so sorry!
Agree. Game is so much fun.
When does the fun start? Havana is typical AC pretty much, it's very boring to run around this bland city chasing collectibles for some reason (trophy hunting I guess).
Made a pretty game beautiful!
I agree, looks much better! Thanks Ubisoft!

Havana sucks, once you get the boat and the world fully open its decent fun
For you? Never.
Just stick to the story missions until the world opens up. Then the fun begins.

PS+ lets you download and install software updates when the system is in standby.

It does look noticabley sharper. It looked pretty nice to begin with though I thought.
I had to post again to say that this game looks absolutely beautiful in 1080p on a 70" screen. I am loving it. I think it's my favorite AssCreed game so far.
I am having a hard time choosing between this game, Killzone and NBA 2K14 as my favorite PS4 launch game.
Anyone who says the PS4 doesn't have great launch games is delusional...

Freudian slip?

Big improvement for me. I play on a 42 inch Plasma and sit pretty close
I'm really enjoying this game a lot too. That first mission where you're storming the ships getting a crew was so badass. I finally am playing the pirate game I've always wanted.

Is there a video somewhere that compares the 2?
lol
You must be really early in the game and it hasnt even started. I really like the ship combat and exploring.
Just a huge map with so much stuff to do.

I stopped listening to the Tested podcast when they tried to give us the magic of scalers bullshit.
Yeah I just panned the map out of havana and was kind of amazed how big it is. I really doubt there's a lot of interesting things to do though based on this series' and ubisoft's history. I'm open for surprises though.

I said damn.
I fired this up for the first time last night and I was just telling one of my co-workers today how unimpressed I was with it. After this patch the difference is like night and day. So much cleaner and smooth looking compared with my playtime last night.

When I turned on my PS4 the update for this and KZ both started downloading automatically under my notifications. Both installed on their own too.

So how does the update work, PS4 update UI was pretty confusing Day 1, is it automatic when I launch the game?
I find the Forts and just randomly attacking ships fun. But man random Animus pieces and Treasure Chests in the middle of nowhere, so I have to jump out of the boat, swim there then swim back. I don't like that too much, but....I...I..I just have to get them.
Sometimes it starts downloading when you start the game, so you have to close it then check Notifications in the download spot to see if it's been installed.
Then check the patch notes by pressing options on the game, to see if it's version 1.02

We share the same brain in this regard.
Why all the hate? I understand it wasn't the best move to push it out without 1080 to begin with, but at least they care enough to push out an update so that it can be, while also bettering the AA. What is the downside? I see no issue. They wanted to have a game out by launch that looked good, and honestly do you think had it not been stated that the game ran at 900p that people would have been able to tell?

Is anyone else having problems downloading the patch? My connection keeps timing out. I really wanted to be able to play tonight. ;(

I'm pretty sure people have posted comparisons prior in the thread but I saw some posts asking for some. Here are two screenshots (one prior to patch, one after):
Half a million more pixels rendered and improved AA makes quite a difference.
Just notice that improved texture clarity on the guys ass.
I think it's mostly just from them saying it was going to be 1080p then us finding out it was only 900 with a patch coming some unspecified time later.

man those screenshots are practically night and day. pretty much kills the resolution argument completely dead, doesn't it?

Is the framerate solid? I have to ask after that slideshow that was AC3.
I totally understand that feeling. It plays on my OCD/completionist tendencies and I end up having to do a lot of it too. I never truly get everything in AC games but if I see them in my path I have to stop and get them.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The vast majority of the time, yes. Even after the resolution bump.
Is the foliage on the PS4 version physically reactive to the weather and player movement? If it is I'll probably end up getting this version instead of PC since I don't feel like dealing with Ubisoft's lack of PC optimization and the game looks pretty damn sharp at native 1080p.

The bottom is so blurred in comparison to the top.
And the AA looks so much better now.

Am I the only one who's disc drive now makes a high pitched whirring noise every 5 or so seconds? It only happens with this game and I don't remember it being there before the patch.
