So...
Why did we buy 'next gen' consoles again? This performance is worse than last gen.
Sheesh.

Are you telling me if I want my messages I should look for bits of paper thrown over the garden gate?

Agenda much?
Well yeah you could certainly see it that way.
Alternatively, that the game runs like shit no matter the platform, and has ridiculous glitches left and right, which might just suggest that it might not have had the amount of polishing it should have.
So I guess it's a pariturd.

If any of these theories were true then why on earth would Microsoft allow COD Ghosts to be 720p on X1 and 1080p on PS4 at the launch of their console, these theories are utter rubbish.
Your sarcasm-o-meter, it's broken.
I'll give my vote for that.
That's basically where I'm at with Ubisoft right now. They have been so disgusting for so long now that I don't even want anything to do with them. I've purchased every AC game from them in the past, so I was part of the problem leading to this shit. I encouraged them by accepting their past garbage and now I'm swallowing the crap that they think we're OK with.
No friggin' more. Yes, we're just talking about videogames and it's not like saving the environment, but I can save my money for more important things. Like videogames that aren't released in half finished states with microtransactions pouring out the ass and treasure chests that won't open unless you utilize the goddamn companion app.
Like companies that don't treat us like fucking morons pretending 30fps feels more cinematic. Like companies who don't insult entire fucking groups of gamers because of their pathetic laziness. Like companies which don't fucking spout PR vomit to appease their fucking marketing partners. Like companies which don't think gamers are so fucking pathetic that they'll believe any spewing ass diarrhea coming our way so we can play their shitty, buggy, barely functional repetitious grindwheel open world titles. Like companies that don't utilize grotesque DRM until the outcry forces them to change only to replace it with more DRM trash meant to squeeze more bucks out of consumers. Like companies who don't think they can fucking buy the media's silence with their threats or try to force unseemly day 1 embargoes so that consumers don't know what the hell they're getting. Where they now bathe in endless microtransaction nickle-and-diming in every fucking game they make.
I AM DONE WITH UBISOFT.
No, enough is ENOUGH Ubisoft. You're a piece of shit publisher with no value in the community. You have taken advantage of consumers you know enjoy AAA values by misleading them, forcing them to not have complete pictures of products they buy, trying to buy off silence or threaten people into complacency. You fucks don't get another dime from me EVER AGAIN.

they learned their lesson well.
Nice meltdown, would read again. Poor Microsoft.
Yeah another funny gif response to my post, yet again no refute to what i actually said though.
Man, what a technical clusterfuck [l wont touch quality of the storytelling/charachters/gameplay, this is not the place for that]. And to remember back to the first teaser of AC Blurity when they tauted that "nextgen starts [here]".
And and result of that claim? Sub-1080p game [which is not a big deal] that has so much problems with bugs, glitches, engine problems, framerate issues, and they even did not bother to take advantage from PS4's stronger GPU and memory architecture. Even the feature that they are most proud off [large crowds] has so much issues.

In the thread about the Ubi CPU presentation he weighed in after a few of us speculated that the SDK updates have allowed for more wiggle room for MS and said something to the effect of "people have figured out what it is"
PS4 has no sunlight apparently.

Sadly the game still gets sold
That looks identical to me. Can't tell a difference here.I took some more screenshots from the comparison tool:

Should I bring my PS4 version back for the Xbox One version?

I was really hoping we would get locked 30fps for a while this gen. I would have honestly preffered half the NPC's and slightly worse graphics if it allowed them to lock it at 30.
It's also surprising to see the X1 version performing better and this is already the third or so release in a row were that seems to be true. And there isn't even a resolution difference here
Well, to be fair the game would probably run at less than 10 fps on last gen consoles (if they tried to run it just like on Ps4/X1 with no graphical downgrade)

Ghost got a 1080p patch on PS4.

Better microtransaction infrastructure, better support for 15GB+ day one patches, easier integration with useless companion apps and more nobody-asked-for-this transmedia offerings.
Hurray!
Thank God you showed up! Microsoft needs defending!
Actually, I think this thread is about the Playstation 4 getting a terrible version of Assassin's Creed: Unity, so I think you can safely return to your fortress of solitude.
Amen to that

Wow, this game is such a mess! Luckily I decided not to buy it

At launch, like I said.
Check my post history, i'm not sided with one console over the other, i buy BOTH consoles.
Its just getting so tiresome and tedious at this point.
Also yet again, no actual refute to my post.
I'm giving you a standing ovation right now
I took some more screenshots from the comparison tool:
They were not kidding about parity. No difference whatsoever between consoles.
The gap between them and PC at max settings is going to be significant.
I think the "every ounce of power" comment was to warn people that we can expect all future asscreed games to be 21 or less fps on ps4 and 25 or less fps on x1 with 900p. See, they aren't anti-consumer at all.
AC4 - 1080p, rock solid 30fps
ACU - built from the ground up to take advantage of next-gen hardware - 900p, variable 20-30fps, full of pop-up and glitches
So... this game has been a disaster. Ubisoft will probably acknowledge as much but only when it's time to hype up AC 2015.
Clearly the game could have done with at least another 6 months in the oven. I wish Ubisoft had the balls to delay an AC game.

This is what I don't get. How do these crowds make the gameplay better, aside from adding some ambiance? Do you run on their heads?
No, but he actually knows what he's talking about.
the game doesnt suck. its pretty good actually. people are saying the performance is bad.
I am playing on pc though.
The result is the same. These people are working under a corrupt company that has no problem fucking us. And it's no value to anyone to keep taking it on the chin forever.
Until they really change, there's nothing to discuss. They will never, ever receive a single solitary penny from me, not even if they somehow create the game of the goddamn generation.
The actual graphics are a lot better than Black Flag though.
I don't know why that comparison keeps getting used, Black Flag was a last gen game with a better resolution and more stable framerate over last gen.
Lets assume each task takes 1.6 billion clock cycles, on PS4 you could do 6 per second (one on each core) meaning it would take 20 seconds to do them all. On xbox one it could do 6.56 tasks per second so it would take 18.29 seconds to do all of them. 18.29s is 9% faster than 20s.
So did ACIV by the way.
It had a few other things too, like all this stuff.
I would rather play this game 1000000x over than Unity in its current state.
I think it's pretty obvious this game needed another six months of development time. Ubisoft are clearly competent if they need/want to be, but they rushed this game to market.
Stuff like this and Destiny makes me want another videogame crash like after E.T.
It's just not acceptable anymore.

I like how we're looking at a game that is a technical mess and some people in here are talking about what Sony should have done. Like reserving 2 cores. You could give Ubisoft 50 cores and they'd still botch this disaster up.
