I don't why people are disappointed with Troy Baker's screen time. Look at who tweeted the info, it's either completely false or exaggerated.

All of the reviews currently out are for the PS4 version of the game. So that should give you an idea of performance.
No one officially has retail copies for any other platform yet (not counting stores that break street date) as Ubi only sent out the PS4 debug discs.

It's kinda hard for me to do. Y'know?

haha this is the correct attitude to have for any far cry game... I mean the story of FC3 was so bad I almost didn't even play the story at all... the story missions were actually a chore to play, but I still enjoyed the game due to the great environments and the world was well done... Far Cry 4 is a no brainer for me and i have a system for anyone like me:
Conquer all the bases, collect skins, side missions, arm yourself to the teeth - then complete story in 30 minutes with rpg's and heavy machine guns blazing.
Win.

Glad to see that the scores are leaning this way so far with the ones that came in. After seeing what Dragon Age got I was excited for next week as it is.
Figure I am going to be busy in DAI exploring things looking for loot, side quests, and story related things.
Having a game like FC4 to offset a RPG heavy game will be nice. Roaming around having fun blowing stuff up, riding an elephant of war, and other dickish behavior a person can pull off while accomplishing objectives.

Good for you, take that stand. We'll all be over here enjoying Far Cry and AC Unity by ourselves.
Have a great day.

Huh.
I'm willing to bet that's grossly exaggerating. It is coming from Mitch, there's no difference between 720p and 1080p, Dyer after all. Dude can't make any comment without throwing a biased or skewed opinion into the mix.

From how it turned out, they should have chose even lower specs to achieve parity with.

You have a very long memory to hold a grudge for 3 days.
Yeah, holding back the xbox one version like that, bastards

I'm day one FC4. I will pick up GTAV (again) at the end of the month when some friends buy into the ecosystem via the GTAV TLoU bundle on Black Friday. It's going to be a good winter.
This is a good question, just looking at metacritic, it appears there are no xbox one reviews, which is worrying.........
Ditto, I understand people being disappointed about this versus a multiplayer editor...but this I'd use this way more. Looking forward to the creative additions.

Except the only parity was resolution and it should of been lower on both consoles(792p). You should be much more concerned about the terrible framerate, copious amount of bugs, microtransactions, poor AI, little advancement to the formula and refusal to give the game the proper delay it needed rather than their PR excuse for why the game runs like crap.
Its perfectly fine to be angry at Ubisoft for the nonsense they've pulled(I am as well), but "parity" isn't a very legitimate reason compared to the larger issues at hand. You're basically giving Ubi a free pass if "parity" is the main reason why they upset you.

I wouldn't be worried about the XB1 version. Some of the reviews are for both PS4 and XB1, but Metacritic don't update the page just as they didn't with the PC, 360 and PS3 versions. Polygon even said that both versions (PS4/XB1) were sent out to reviewers. The game is cross gen and they were targeting 1080/30 so it should be fine. Wait on Digital Foundry if you have any doubts though.

Hmm, I need concrete info on this vid if he's only in it 10 mins I'm not bothering.
Already pre-loaded, so it is what it is regardless!

I'm torn, I don't really have the funds to purchase either, but I will probably force myself to buy one. I wish I could get both but then I wouldn't have time to really do both. Dammit, why can't they spread this out.

Im in the same boat. I will probably just pick a name out of a hat.
Why not just wait?

That's kind of implied if I can't afford them both now, I just don't want to wait. Give it to me now!
Parity? The game couldn't run on a higher res on PS4 because the game is CPU limited.
I'm gona go GTA V for PS4 first. Then around christmas time I'll buy Far Cry 4 and then I'll pick up DA:I at the beginning of next year when there are fewer games out as I know that DA:I will take a long time to finish.

False. The game is CPU bottlenecked but you can often boost a games resolution in that scenario without impact to performance because it's more dependent on the GPU.
Oh ya, the was the official PR statement. The official PR statement.
I'm feeling this right now, real, real bad. I want to play Far Cry 4, but I just can't bring myself to give Ubi another dollar. I made the wrong choice, and if Unity were a one-off thing, my response would be: award the good game, shame the bad one. I don't really see that option here, since I've already awarded the bad game, so it's my loss I guess if FC4 is great.
But I will stick to my guns on this I think.
Well right now the PS4 version runs worse than the Xbox One version, so I could see why they wouldn't want to add more visual stuff that can affect that already bad framerate.

Visually it looks the same as the XB1 version. That means there's definitely GPU room left.
Never really care about PR statements. But the PS4 version runs worse than the Xbox One version. Which is probably because the Xbox One has a slightly more powerful CPU, which would mean that the game is CPU limited.
How about the PC version? Is it running optimally?
Why is the responsibility on them? Can't you spread this out.
Not as if there's limited copies.

Definitely picking this up next week.
I just hope that I have the time.
After all the game I picked up during this week's "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" sale. I am up to my ears in games.

Doesn't detract from the fact that must things right now points to the game being very CPU dependent. But the reason it's CPU limited is because they messed up in the optimization and scope of the game.

I am watching streams on the Playstation Live app and so far it looks like a far more polished Far Cry 3 with an even more interesting and dense world.
Definitely worth the purchase from what I am seeing if you are craving for an actual fun shooter since The New Order.

I have so much to play right now, especially with GTA and DA coming on Tuesday, but these reviews make me want this now rather than waiting.
I think the season pass with day one single-player content is the main thing keeping me from pulling the trigger.

This is the superior way to play the game tbh.
