Hmmm. I mean... Need for Speed Rivals was locked at 30 fps on PC. At the time, we all just chalked it up to dev team incompetence, but now...
What about the overwhelming number of titles that AREN'T locked?

i don't have a clue. please enlighten me.
Why would they just use titles? These people were speaking in public just name them.
Cert is basic checking to see if the game impacts the console experience. They don't care about content (unless of course your game is about something crazy offensive) and they don't even look at content. They run a bunch of tests to make sure your game doesn't break the system, their services, or anything on their end. (And of course that the game is playable).
well i knew that...how does that disprove that MS is telling Ubi to lock the frame rate at 30fps for the PC version?
I don't believe this story (if true that would suck for PC gamers).
Damn, Ubisoft is on a rampage.*
Why not linking to the original Reddit post that at least has "proof" photos in it, as well as an announcement beforehand to collect questions? http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/2j7r9j/delivering_ubisoft_came_to_my_school_for_a/
I find it hard to believe a random group of kids [they seem very young in the picture] ask hard-hitting questions about framerates to a bunch of random Ubisoft employees giving a presentation at a school. Let alone have the Ubisoft people straight up saying stuff like that about Microsoft.

"he implied that MS is making them lock the framerate on PC too".
MS require feature parity.While this scenario and those responses may have happened, I'm not convinced console manufacturers really have any say in what to keep in and take out of a game, that seems insane. And thus makes the source look questionable to me.
I don't think Sony/MS care about PC sales. It's a different market.
Gerighty seemed to be indicating exceptions happen, since he had hopes of "slipping it past MS." Otherwise he wouldn't have wasted the time and money to implement the feature in the first place.Right, that explains all the DLC for Destiny only available on Sony systems!
And all the fucking other games that run better on PS4 and PC
Why the hell MS lock fps on PC? Doesn't make sense.
Breaking News: top Ubisoft programmers pulled out of release-date crunch to give an impromptu talk to aspiring students
Seems credible
As someone who worked in QA for a console manufacturer for 8 years, that isn't all you check. You test the content, game play etc...Correct. Unless the ESRB, PEGI, etc. rate you in a way that the manufactures wont allow you to release a game, content is not what's going to keep your game from release. All the console manufactures will check for is if it will brick the system or otherwise cause instability.
Before anyone here thinks about posting any snap judgments, consider the following:
a) This "Online Programmer", what is their name (I understand anonymity would help with job security, but you already pinned down their title which I imagine is already thinning the list quite a bit)?
b) what is the name of the school this person visited, and perhaps a more specific title for the lecture or whatever the hell they were doing there specifically?
c) is there any actual proof that any of this occurred?
Seems like someone's just trying to start more shit, which is funny considering Ubisoft really doesn't need anymore considering their current track record.

Honestly, this the most important topic going on right now and its mostly being brushed off. We should demand an answer from Ubisoft and Microsoft. Do we know if its true? We don't but we need to find out. This parity will affect videogamers everywhere on every gaming setup.
Parity for all!
Dead serious. How is gimping games and selling people handicapped products ok with anyone? It's not about resolution.Honestly, this is the biggest FUD topic going on right now and I feel dirty for even replying to your post and bumping it
Unless you're being sarcastic, in which case that's on me.
Ryse is published by Crytek and they own the rights to the game. Also its a graphical oriented company, they would never lock fps on PC.Isn't the PC version of Ryse 60fps? I don't see why MS would let Crytek do that and then tell Ubisoft to lock it.
Its not only Microsoft, but Sony too going by the quote.Wait, this report is actually real due to the photo evidence?
Eh...I guess joking around about MS moneyhatting for parity could potentially turn out to be true, geez...Great PR weeks.
