Ahh, ok.
Read the post just one above yours.
The patch will available shortly after release.
Shortly doesn't mean tonight. It might not mean this month.

When the back of the box says the game is 1080p, I expect the game to be 1080p when I put it in the system.
Except it's after the review process in every case...
I'm very, very, suspicious of what has happened.
Bull-fucking-shit.

Am I the only one he reads the post and understands it as: "the game was intended to be 900p, but we had more power to play with so we bumped it up?"
No? Just me? Ok nevermind lol.
and the whole gajillion consoles and deadlines thing too.
EDIT: nevermind, didn't know they advertised it as 1080p

The patch isn't out yet.
Nope. Maybe the review copies will be 720p and a patch will push it up to 900p.
This shit is gonna run and run.
Hate to tinfoil hat it, but seems to me like either publishers didn't want to step on Microsofts toes or Microsoft themselves had a hand in it.
If we delve into parity speculation, it could be something like, MS wants to mandate resolution parity, but doesn't actually have the muscle to enforce it (lol u cant release cod and bf on xbone now), and it took DICE (who have devs who haven't been shy of showing their preferences on twitter) releasing BF4 with the 720/900 disparity to open the floodgates of other devs becoming willing to push resolution differences in favor of the PS4 at the comparative last minute.
I'm assuming 900p. Why would it be anything else?

Why would they tell us about this now?! Why put uncertainty in our minds. We just bought the game, we want to play it, and now they make us think for a second if we should wait to play it or not.
It's not like anyone knew it was in 900p, they could've just waited till the patch was ready.
Shit pisses me off.

There's always at least 1 of you in threads like this.
Are you sure?
NM: edited, I'm guessing 720p as even at reviews some people said the XB1 version was "fuzzier"
Of course not, but do a Google search and all I can find is reports of rumors of 900p and "Sub-HD".
This is a good question.

Wow, so Ubisoft, Activision, and possibly EA, realesed footage and review products of these games to major outlets, knowing full well they would use them to compare the new consoles, knowing that they did not represent the PS4 versions properly.
This reeks of walking on eggshells around MS.
Can this really be coincidence?

No, because the most glaringly obvious point in this whole debacle is that the publishers, and developers, are not telling the reviewers there are resolution patches incoming.
Even the least cynical amongst us must wonder why they would not pass on this information, especially as it would be an improvement to the product...

Could be 720P, it seems to be the preferred resolution for Xbox One launch games.

This is Ubisoft we are talking about right? Do you know how they have been treating the xbox versions of their games (this and wd)? Or are we going to forget their strong partnership with sony?
If AC4 is 720p on Xbox One, that would be... absolutely embarrassing. But you do have a point, if journalists were seeing 900p on PS4 and said the Xbox One version was "fuzzier", than it would stand to reason that 720p is possible or likely.
From some of the reviews posted, it seems like the review copies were 1080p
Seriously? It's in people's hands now. It would be immediately apparent to me and many others.

If true, that is a hilarious and creative side step to the whole issue among all parties.

someone here pixel counted the XB1 gameplay video and said it was above 720p.
Next-gen versions have all sorts of crazy taxing effects like AO, Motion Blur, improved shadows, improved textures, etc. It's not a 1:1 port with a higher resolution...
Even though this is cross-gen, it's not like it's Tony Hawk's American Wasteland/GUN all over again.

Invasion levels were added to Rayman legends on vita shortly after release.
(That is like 2 weeks from now, 3? Months after the game released)
Never saw a resolution patch before COD and now AC IV. it's different just for that reason.
I'm just saying it's unusual. Could be they just wanted to get the code out the door so they ran with what was doable on both ps4 and xbone with the intent of pushing the ps4 later and patching it.
Gives me hope that other games will follow (need for speed 60fps please).
I think the Xbox One version was pixel counted to be 900p. But it's not confirmed.

Don't tinfoil hate it. That's a pretty silly way to look at it...more likely they were rushed for time and decided to push it out of the door as is and patch it later...

Doubtful, but I don't think it'll be 720p either since he makes specific mention of how the difference it noticeable by anyone (a nice jab at other devs and gaming journos out there)

Lack of transparency is really more disconcerting than the post-release patching.
Just say what it really is right now - be that COD or Ass Flag; and explain what you're doing if you're improving it. But stop pretending things are what they aren't - it doesn't work in this day and age.
