[EU] Assassin's Creed: Syndicate PS4 1TB bundle unveiled
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
I think Fallout will, AC will sell well but I think it'll be noticeably down on last year.
Fallout 4 would need to double FO3's sales in order to sell better (FO3 was 6 million), or AC would need to sell half as well as the franchise's norm in order to sell less (AC usually sells 10+ million).
It's possible, because Skyrim was very successful, but it's still very unlikely since those are two different franchises. Internet hype doesn't translate to real-life sales, otherwise Bloodborne would be the best selling game this year.
I wish both Sony and MS would stop holding Ubisoft up and just let an AC game crash and burn like it would without excessive bundling. Maybe then there would be some actual development within the franchise. Or we could get less games aping the formula to create a grey mass of gelatinous mediocrity. Either result is preferable to falsely propping up a series that is well, well past its prime.
Hopefully this bundle is less prolific than the Unity one MS has been selling all year since release, sort of like the Far Cry 4 ones we got instead.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I must've imagined the part where they basically made a new engine for last year's entry. And added a good amount to it for this year's entry/
a lot of people who dont pay attention to frame rates and are not bothered by it, yesterday i went to get a haircut and my barber goes man i got a ps4 and i got destiny and AC unity and that game is incredible, he was incredibly happy with the game, i believe that for us, the ones that read to much in to the framerates and resolution sometimes games can be a little less enjoyable because of it
Are you saying that because Assassin's Creed sells well here or just because this one is set in the UK?

Great deal especially with a 1TB hard drive.
Looks like the Ubisoft shit posting is still in effect.

Most of my gaming friends don't even know what framerate or resolution is, the hardcore gamer bubble is extremely small, there are over 25 million PS4 owners & ~14 million XB1 owners, I'd imagine that no more than 5 million actually pay attention to this stuff. & On Steam, only 5 percent of the users have hardware that is equivalent to next-gen consoles or higher, the other 95% evidently don't care about framerate or resolution.
It's going to happen.

Don't know or don't care. Most people just want to have an enjoyable experience and be done. No analysis, no postmortem, just play the game and have a good time.
People only notice these things, in general senses, when their enjoyment is hampered - online connectivity, crashes, unrecoverable glitches etc - but not by resolutions and framerates, as long as the presentation is good.

I mean, people thinking of buying this probably they haven't got a PS4 yet and if so, they probably haven't even played Unity.
This makes zero sense. Bundles exist to sell consoles, not the other way around. Contrary to popular belief here on GAF, there are still a lot of people that love the series. The bundle exists because Sony feels that it will help sell their system, just like MS did last year. AC is huge internationally, which I imagine is why MS made such a big push for it last year. Where you see "gelatinous mediocrity" (your disdain is palpable), I see open worlds that are in a league of their own, interesting historical settings, and gameplay that has progressed and changed more between games than any other franchise I can think of. I can completely understand if someone doesn't like the series, or has franchise fatigue, but the complete dismissal that anyone could like the series is getting insane.

The AC:U XB1 bundle last X-mas?
You act as if people haven't bought and been burnt by ubisofts promises multiple times. They have the reputation for a reason.

Shame this isn't being released in NA. If it was $400, I would buy it so I could have the newer revised model, 1 TB hard drive and the game which im buying anyway. Then, I would sell off my current PS4. Oh well.
