Assassins Creed: Unity Framerate Is Atrocious
- Thread starter ShogunDarius
- Start date
I was suspecting this is the case, thanks. Really hoping now. Trying to unlock my origin copy, just to see where it's unlocked in the world...

What? Are they being serious right now?
But it has been in development for approximately 10 years! /Crossing Eden

I have no problem with a little pop-in and some framerate issues but this is a little too much, I hope the press hit them hard, 4 frikin years in development.
Not sure why you've interpreted it that way considering the performance on PC seems pretty fucking bad as well. Obviously it is running much better than the consoles, but considering how much more powerful PC hardware is, that is a given.
It could be overambition, but then again, it could be one fucking mess of a game engine which they have been struggling to sort out.
Patch has been live here all weekend. Played the same level both pre-patch and post-patch. The patch improved the framerate a little, but that only means that it went from utterly atrocious to just atrocious

I don't see pop-in as much of a problem, but people have every right to scrutinize a product they're paying money in transaction for, especially for the basic building blocks that make up a game such as performance.
lol then why don´t you just enjoy The Evil Within on PC..?

It seems the "framerate and resolution will be addressed last" claim has some truth. Many games go gold before they are optimized and the day one patch is just the result of the last stretch of optimization. It's not exactly a patch, more like the finishing touches of the initial software delivery.

They fucked up somewhere, weren't they talking about 1080/60 a few months ago?

have both versions and the game is a mess on both platforms
lots of glitches with NPCs...getting stuck on things and really bad slowdown complete with sound drop outs.......game reminds me of Ass creed 3 on launch
The ps4 version seems like the worse version so far......i have noticed more glitches on it than the bones

Yeah guys, stop complaining about the framerate in Assassin's Creed.
Oh...
Oh.

The PC version runs better than the PS4 on cards like the 750Ti. That is not "pretty fucking bad" at all.
Yeah one of the level designers said he thought the game was running at that lol.

Gonna wait till df but this just makes it way to easy not to buy it, was considering to get it but this is just plain unacceptable. They should support this with updates and patches to fix this mess or they wont see my money.

Something about the culture of game development needs to change at Ubisoft Montreal. But the tills are ringing up $$$ every single year.
Daaaaaaaaamn. Burned. You had to dig deep for that post though lol.

makes sense why the embargo is so late now.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
How about 4K? Nvidia and Ubisoft were touting that as a cool feature. Have fun running the game in that resolution when your system is already struggling to get it to run smoothly in 1080p.

The best part is they pop in your screen from most unexpected places
I only got a PS3 in 2011 and so starting last gen that late, and starting with GOTY editions and games that had been out a few years and so were patched to their best state really seems like it was a good move
It just doesn't make sense to put games out like this, they're punishing the people who buy it day 1, ie the people they make the most money from, I don't have a PS4 yet but when i get one and play Unity it will be cheap and patched and i'll probably play it with all the DLC on the disc as well
They're shooting themselves in the foot, because all this will do is turn more and more gamers into those who will wait till the game is actually finished and then pay a fraction of the price for it

Hope the GTX 970 can brute force through this..... because I'm excited for the game itself.

Are we really comparing N64 games from 1998 to AAA games from 2014 ?
Especially when Ocarina was lauded for being one of the most forward thinking 3D games, setting the groundwork for the genre and inventing Z-targeting...
...in contrast to just another Assasin´s Creed game .
are we talking the load screens where you run around in "nothing"..? I hate those..

Based on what, some guy that played in a room while looking at a wall?
Reports say that the first hour in the game is not representative of the actual performance once you get in the busy city and stuff starts to happen.
You don't even run around in nothing any more (yet). It just sits there with a little loading icon.
Nah, it's on the second page of his post history.
I always check post history before I reply to something dumb.

That's because the ps4 has a piece of shit cpu. Considering the nature of the game it shouldn't be surprising outside of well ubisoft on pc.
How about you wait for the reviews before deciding the game is garbage?
Seriously, it's like most people here actually want this game (and any Ubisoft game it seems) to crash and burn.
Yet I keep seeing posts like this.

Which you kind of expect to perform a bit better than that?

While I normally don't care too much about framerate, even I can recognise that this is largely unacceptable for such a massive studio. Expect numerous instances of 8.5/10.
Depends why the framerate's slow. Given the large numbers of NPCs, that could be the cause, and that might be a CPU hit rather than a GPU one.
Running "better than the PS4 version" doesn't preclude the game being bad on PC as stated though.
