Did he mark the PS4 as his primary PS4 device?

30fps locked from what I've played so far. I haven't really noticed any dips. 60 would obviously be better but once you see the worlds and areas, they are pretty massive. It's a big jump from all of the others.

that article is wrong then. the new screens are clearly 1080p native on 1.02.

You're focusing on the time*. I'm focusing on the reason... which I just can't take seriously. I'm not trying to be an asshole or a prick. But I'd be lying if I denied that I find it funny that people are pointing at the new pics and claiming there is anything more than a very minor visible improvement.
*And anyway, going by your logic that you tried to shame me with, you waited 21 days longer than I did. Not "ONE".
I believe PS+ works for any account on a single PS4. You only need it on one account, but it functions for any of them, so any PS+ games would be available to any account on that system. Assassin's Creed IV is not a PS+ game though, and as such is only activated on the account that "purchased" the game.

Yeah did a mod change it? Super weird.

The game looked great before. Now it looks extra great.
Kudos to Ubi. They certainly didn't need to do this but I'm glad they did

Platform parity conspiracies crack me up. It would take MORE work coding to try to achieve parity. The hardware is very similar except the X1 is about 30% less powerful, so by default it's just not going to run as well. Even if a developer forced their PS4 game to run at 720p maximum, you'd still see much more solid framerates on PS4.
Put the tinfoil hats away.

people were initially confused because it said, "now with bars to fill in 1080p!" and people started posting asking if the game was supposed to have black bars like the movie format or something. So it got changed again to clarify that it was not alluding to black bars on the screen, but rather the HP/whatever bars the game uses to indicate health and...whatever the hell else.
It's still awkward, but yea.

Ahhhh right. Now it makes sense. Don't entirely agree, but it makes sense.

Dude, I'm literally half blind and I can see the difference. It's very possible that you may need to have an eye doctor appointment.
is it a disc copy for PS3? Do you have the PS3 disc in the system if it is?

I find it incredibly insulting that you laugh at people who waited for this patch. You didn't care. Great. Stop telling us how hilarious we are for waiting for this. We knew an improvement was coming so decided to wait just a bit longer (for a game we'd already waited a couple of weeks to play with better graphics). Ha fucking ha.

I tried skimming through the thread but couldn't find it... I know Xbox One gets the AA but what resolution does it run at? (native)

I was already enjoying the game a lot, can't wait to see it with the patch now
Hope you don't like 60 fps too much.
As in it won't run 60fps on my machine, or that it will easily and I will implode from the joy?! Answers, I need them XDI remember playing Assassin's Creed II at 1440p years ago...
My guess would be 720p-900p.
Assassin's Creed games are always poorly optimized, but especially the latest iterations. Ubisoft just doesn't care about PC gamers.
They wonder why we don't buy their products. They force their DRM client on us that requires an online check-in to launch our games, launch later than consoles, and they do not bother to optimize properly.
Looks like even PC folks are having trouble getting constant 60

it runs at 900p.

The bars reference is from upgrading things like your ship in the game where there are bars to fill and the 1080p patch is filling in a bar (upgrading).

That's your opinion.
1440000 / 2073600 = 0.694
1600 x 900 only renders 70% of the pixels as 1920 x 1080. I think it's a pretty substantial difference, and I definitely notice it. Whether or not you think it's worth waiting or not is your own decision, but I don't see how you can find it "funny" that people are willing to wait for something better. It's not like the gameplay is going to get worse by waiting a couple of days.

If I was claiming I didn't the difference, you might have a point. I see it, I don't deny it. But it's minor.

Glad this is out now, was waiting for the patch before I played it.

Much bigger IQ jump than I expected with 900p to 1080p. These screens only make the 720p v. 1080p threads that more mind numbing. I still don't understand how a few months ago when it was just simply a given that everything MS and Sony were going to throw at us was going to be 1080p 30/60fps. It was so expected of this gen, journalists immediatly brushed it aside as it was not even worth discussing and some how even insulting as a bullet point in any developer press conference.
Now the cards are being dealt and we all have to pretend not to notice or we are pedant wankers, or if we have the ability to both tell the obvious gaps between 900p and 1080p, let alone 720p to 1080p, and that we, *gasp* prefer having higher resolutions to support the native res of our HDTVs. What a bunch of fuckwads we are!
PS - I don't own either new console, but all of my displays in my house, PC and TV are 1080p and I don't have glaucoma so I appreciate games at that resolution. It has made jumping between PS3 and PC hard. I was expecting/hoping to leave that gap behind with the console refresh.

I'm not sure how you can look at the examples being posted and claim it's minor though; the 1080p shots have very noticeably more clarity, especially when you focus on distant objects. This makes sense, of course, because you have more pixels to represent objects.
I'm not even saying your opinion is wrong, I'm saying that maybe you legitimately have eye issues.

People need to stop focusing on just the 720, 900, and 1080 and actually calculate the full resolution.
720p (921600 pixels) / 1080p (2073600 pixels) = 0.444
900p (1440000 pixels) / 1080p (2073600 pixels) = 0.694
Both are substantially less than full 1080p. Most people typically don't scoff at 30% less or damn near 60% less of a thing.

dammmmn this looks a lot better imo. My son was sailing the seas on launch day but I've been waiting for the patch. Just played the first 30 minutes and it looks so good.

damn you're right. :O
Though I must admit, I don't think I ever got a single AC game running on my PC (I have AC1, 2, and Brotherhood) flawlessly at 60fps. There would always be a little fps dip here and there. Usually when going up on the perches and syncronizing. When the camera pans around the entire area it would dip.

The 1080p shots do show a slight improvement in clarity and detail. That much I can agree with.
I go the eye doctor regularly and my vision is fine, thanks for you concern.
If he used the included voucher code to upgrade to a digital PS4 version, then you need to have the PS3 disc in the PS4 in order to play.
Yeah it was down when I was playing earlier, the one wireless signal icon on the bottom left by the minimap was black and it confused me for a bit. Then I found out it's because I wasn't connected to Uplay. And it never came back while I played for about 2 hours.

No problem, you're luckier than you realise.
It's very noticeable in my opinion though, especially when you see the comparison in gif form. We probably just differ in opinion on what the word slight means.

Must've been strain because of the PC release
Jaggies always look more pronounced to me in screenshots. When the game is in motion they don't seem to be as noticeable.

wow, they even upscaled the UI before, after pics are so much better.

its so dumb. the new advil engine or w/e is just shit in general. old AC games ran fine for the most part (besides the breakdancing shadows), and heck splinter cell blacklist which is on UE3 ran great on pc, so ubisoft can do good stuff.
Watch_dogs is gonna murder most rigs next year for sure.
The 900P one is blurred into oblivion by comparison, that's why. I'm checking it on the bigger screen now and it's comparable to waking up in the morning and blinking a few times before the world comes into focus. I'm really excited for the EU launch now, I have the 'Buccaneer Edition' on order.

Ubisoft said:
Gold standard my arse. It's the absolute bare minimum we should expect from any genre.
Blacklist is actually UE2.5 believe it or not.
