I'll put this here too:

Holy shit Ubisoft, what are you doing.

 

[LilZippa]

This should be placed into the pastafarian images.

 

[tcrunch]

I don't know...I've never been so happy to not buy a game before...

 

[Gnome Scat]

Far Cry 4 will work well though, right?

RIGHT?

 

[That Wont Fit In There]

It is really bad lol.

 

[dreamfall]

Yipes!

[Nokterian]

Holy shit Ubisoft, what are you doing.

Calling this game next gen didn't you heard 10 studio's 4 years later this is what you get.

 

[enzo_gt]

There are 8 AC threads on the first page of Gaming, wow.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Amazing.

According to Totalbiscuit the PC version is also complete ass. You won't get a good experience with this game on any platform, unless the day 1 PC version patch is a miracle.

Guess PC players aren't the only ones feeling the pain.

That's one big croc of shit—acting as if it was a choice, rather than a technical decision. I would be fine if it ran at 30fps solid, or partly-solid, but it simply doesn't. How can one be so out of touch.

Why people still try to apply logic to these big publishers is beyond me.

Seems like AC3 all over again, the game clearly needs more dev time but ubi are going to force it out for holiday and we are left with a buggy mess that runs like dogshit.

Why bother if you're you decide on using dull design decisions?

RIGHT?

Isn't FC4 using Cryengine?

 

[Mohonky]

So it's the cpu after all? I'm trying to keep up.

Basically. If you read the Digital Foundry analysis; the Xbone handles larger crowd scenes with a slight fps lead, where the game is more cpu bound. During cutscenes where the game is gpu limited, the PS4 runs much better.

Though lots of people are running with parity and MS monies as the reason so.....

 

[WordsintheWater]

was at a gamestop midnight launch for MCC and yeah, alot of folks were picking up ACU

I was one of those people, honestly sad I bought it. Had I known it was gonna be this bad I would have never supported this game.

That's not really an accurate representation of DF's conclusions:

though it's hard to believe that even this combination of potential factors could explain the performance differential we see here in many places. Quite why PS4 isn't rendering at a higher resolution is certainly a bit of a puzzler - in addition to GPU resources, it is worth bearing in mind that memory could be a factor too, especially bearing in mind the complexity of Assassin's Creed Unity's next-gen renderer. Of course, the reality may be rather more mundane: we may simply be looking at a game where the developers ran out of time

 

[RoKKeR]

Finally caught up on the thread.

Damn, amazing stuff.

 

[flaxknuckles]

Nope, only the first one did. The later ones use Dunia

 

[KOHIPEET]

Assassin's Creed Unity runs better on Xbox One than PS4, Digital Foundry reports

:lol

Incoming MisterXmedia article!

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Maybe on the next AC game they'll throw 10000 developers on it and it will really be next gen.

 

[m360]

Got the time to Unity today for some Hours. And yep, the Framerat is sometimes really ridiculous ... between 15 und 30 fps. But even glitches happen often. In fights Arnos' sword, arm or legs often glitch through enemies entirely. I saw weapons float in the air right before the enemies that hold them. And while doing some of the dramatic cinematic kills, Arno pierces just the air but kills a guy that's standing 1 meter beside him while blood spreading right out of the air.

DAT FPS.

 

[shandy706]

I'll put this here too:

That's horrid either way.

Wasn't there something that showed the X1 handled higher NPC counts better.

Is it CPU bound?

I'm assuming yes..as the X1 has a slight advantage CPU wise.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Hell you don't even have to be in a crowded area for the FPS to dip. I was running around in the Cathedral mission and found a spot where the FPS totally takes a dump.

[Novoitus]

Sooo for anyone with the PC version, would running on my 770 and i7 4770k result in a better experience than I've had on the Ps4?

Thinking about returning it and just getting it on Steam if so.


(i got it on ps4 in the first place because i was impatient and wanted to play right away, whoops)

 

[Skyzard]

Is it really CPU bound?

I know PC CPUs are much better these days but people were getting big improvements dropping the resolution and less than like 50% utilization mostly.

 

[Tunesmith]

I can totally see where the graphics are improved over last gen efforts like Shadow of Mordor.

 

[w00zey]

what are the chances of a patch in a month or two that makes the game stable?

 

[JumpJeff84]

Decent chance that they'll patch it soon and fix it somewhat, but unlikely that it'll fix it completely. It'll probably always run kinda shitty

 

[m_shortpants]

RIGHT?

FC4 is crossgen. It should be fine....in theory.

 

[w00zey]

I'm alright with kinda shitty and 30 dollar entry point as I do enjoy the running/jumping/doing. Which I realize is unpopular on here. LOL.

Note to Ubisoft: Do not attempt stained glass lighting if you don't have your framerate shit together.

Tried to strike up a conversation about this subject today at a local gamestore and the clerk told me everyone one else must have "bad copies" because his ps4 version "has all 60 frames and you can see the cloth flap in the wind." Yeah, I didn't get it either.

60 frames? On console?

What a funny clerk.

Thank you! It's my first attempt in gifs editing

Hope it will find his use >: D

This has absolutely nothing to do with console power. This is their own engine buckling under some seriously messed up code or some serious bug. As it happens in a lot of areas.

There are these slideshow areas that seem to happen indoors, then you get the general poor performance in the 20s from the game just not being optimised. Two major problems that need fixing.

 

[deeptech]

I know PC CPUs are much better these days but people were getting big improvements dropping the resolution and less than like 50% utilization mostly.

Stock 4670k gives me around 80-100fps @720p ultra-high preset in prologue level , and running around city gets just as low as 60fps with occasional drop to 57-58fps as game loads new assets. Usage is flat 100% among all 4 cores for the most part. I would say desktop CPU optimization is best of all AC games yet

Conan O'Brien enjoyed it!

They've lost a sale from me, very disappointed.

I bet his uncle works for Ubisoft, too.

But when they were demoing it at E3 it ran so well!
