Assassin's Creed 4 runs at 1080p@60fps on the PS4 [DF: Nope...]
- Thread starter jett
- Start date
I don't think anyone knows for sure, but I'd guess 30 fps, and a compromised framerate on current-gen systems. I hope I'm proven wrong.
Shouldn't it be infinite fps?

The sea combat looks SOOOO GOOOD in this game. I'll probably end up buying it for that alone.

Stuff like this is the reason we never get real live game play.

you mean a chunk of an alpha-build running on a dev-kit live should have run flawless?

So 50 fps more than AC3. Nice to hear.

What exactly should we complain about? Shit happens, I bet they were mortified as it is.

I love how they played it off like the demo was suppose to end there. I doubt the girl was even playing the game.
Yep. All the conferences had some fuck ups this time, what can you do?

You and me both! It really should be the absolute standard.
The naval missions are the only aspect of AssCreed 3 I'd label "good". I mean, they were linear and rather basic, but it sure felt nice pelting a nearby ship with cannon fire and watching it crumble. I love that the ocean is included in AssCreed 4's open world and hope there are some uncharted islands to discover.

The poor Watch Dogs guy coming directly after that was about to have a panic attack on stage. I bet he was scared shitless something would go down with their demo too.
60fps 60fps 60fps 60fps 0fps 60fps 60fps 60fps 60fps 0fps?
ms conference had more technical errors and i don't see any complains.
because its nothing.
I was hoping he would something to comfort the Assassin's Creed guy instead of going on like nothing happened.
Its just weird that no one is nitpicking. Very unusual for Gaf.
FURTHER MORE. Watching the demo the lady says that the Map is on SABA Island.
My dad is actually FROM Saba. I've lived there myself, And I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt. Saba Island Looks NOTHING like this video.
Saba island is the peak of a dormant volcano. There is pretty much no flat land on the island at all. The Capital of the island is called "the Bottom" and its 400 meters above sea level. This was the lowest spot on the island that a town could actually be built.
Large ships were UNABLE to dock because of the rough seas up until like the 1970's or so. People would have to come in on smaller boats. There was alot of pirate activity on the island but it just looked nothing like that quick demo.
Unless its another Saba island but yeah... i like to nitpick

I played the power hungry PC version of AC3 maxed out and this looked much better. Good stuff!

Insane For Sony
Yeah, it was pretty obvious that the demo was bugged, as it started perfectly smooth and the performance degraded as it went on. Probably because of some unchecked memory leak or something.
Death to PC gaming!

Looking how distraught he was, I was impressed he was actually able to speak.

Is this confirmed for singleplayer too? Or just multiplayer? Because gamersyde's SP footage was 30 fps and they had 60 fps footage for all the games people talked about being 60 including the KZ footage.

Don't get comfy with it. This is mainly happening since these are cross generation multiplatform games that are being bumped to work on better hardware. As they shift into making next gen exclusive titles next year and onward, we are going to see less 60fps titles. 60fps this early in a gen is not going to mean much

You've not played AssCreed 3 on the PC, have you?
No.
Ass Creed 2 ran fine (not 60 but fine) on my old, much less powerful than PS4 rig (C2D, gtx275, 3GB) so I figured Ass Creed 3 would be about the same. I guess I should have factored in that PC ports were getting less optimised as this gen ran on.

I have a question why is frame rate always in multiples of 15fps does it have to be capped at 30 or 60? In cases where 60fps is unattainable (most PS360 games) why do devs settle for 30fps cant' the do something like 40, 45 or 50?

It's just target numbers really. COD which is touted as 60fps generally runs lowers than 60fps. Same with lot of 30fps titles, will on average be running in the 20's
No.

The PC version is definitely less buggy than its console counterparts, however CPU performance isn't well-optimised and as a result the framerate drops noticeably in busy areas. The game being CPU-limited is particularly odd since the NPC draw distance is akin to that of the console versions and the NPCs themselves have a very limited routine.
The previous games definitely ran well, however, particularly Brotherhood and Revelations (2, in addition to having a broken LOD system, has an equally weird ~65fps cap). I sure hope Black Flag fares equally well.

Man I hope it's 60
It's not multiples of 15, it's factors of 60. The reason for that is simple, 60Hz is the standard refresh rate for most modern displays.
When the frame rate is a factor of 60, then the number of times each frame is repeated is equal, creating a smooth image. At 60fps, each frame is displayed only once. At 30fps, each frame must be displayed twice in a row. At 20, three times. 15, four times and so on.
When you veer from factors of 60, you end up with frames being repeated unevenly, creating jitter. At 45fps, every third frame needs to be repeated but every other frame is only displayed once. Some people are pretty sensitive to seeing this (I'll admit, I'm not), so devs target factors of 60 to try and avoid this artefact from cropping up. Of course target doesn't mean deliver.
Besides, to be able to display a signal different than 60/30/20 FPS, you would need triple buffering (which increases lag) or would need Vsync to be off (which causes frame tearing) .
Last gen, some developers used what Nvidia calls "Adaptive Vsync" in which the system would drop Vsync if the framerate went below 30fps (to avoid going directly to 20, displaying 20-something with tearing instead).

Maybe Ubisoft or Sony can address the terrible freezing that this game suffers from.

I was quite surprised how much better the 'next gen' version looks in comparison to current gen AC4. No doubt it will still have more bugs than a Starship Troopers movie.
haha yep, they better fix those frame drops!
