Good heavens. If it were 900p unscaled then people with 1080p TVs would see black borders around the image.
Not everything in videogames is constantly in motion.
Can you appreciate the finer details on the fabric of the clothes of the main character? Of course. Can you appreciate the crispness of the vegetation while it sways in the wind? Of course.

This is great news.
Not sure exactly what I am looking for here, but I know I am enjoying it

Nothin at all! Nothin at all!
It really depends on the person to be honest.
For some people, it makes a difference as some are more sensitive to graphic fidelity, so any improvement helps.
Others, the difference does not impact their gameplay experience one bit, simply due to them being less sensitive
And then you got others who will not even notice it at all, simply because it's not something they look out for and are too focused on playing and having fun with the game.
Resolution is NOT about graphical fidelty, it's about image quality.

Sure, but I fully admit I'm a bit shallow. If a game looks really purty I'm more inclined to enjoy it. Especially something like AC which is all about the feel of existing in the open world. Though good visuals obviously doesn't hide poor or boring gameplay. Crysis 3, for example, looked awesome but just wasn't enjoyable.

whether you notice or not, it's going to make at least a minor difference to gameplay. ships and characters in the distance will be easier to make out in 1080p than 900p. fractionally yes, but it's sort of like how people who have no idea what 60 fps is still seem to 'feel' something different about 60 fps games.
to people saying you have to see them 'side by side' to spot the difference... yeah... no. I could tell as soon as I first loaded AC4 that it wasn't display at my TV's native display last week, and I could tell as soon as I loaded it yesterday that it now was. it's the 'native' part that really makes it obvious.

The game still looks current gen. I'll wait till the next gen version to come out..
For those who can't tell the difference, maybe these small GIFs will help:
To me the difference is rather dramatic.
Awesome. A very noticeable difference imo. Feel better about picking this up now.
That is an understatement. 1080P MATTERS.
Can't wait to start this over the weekend.

OT (different game - Ghost but someone here want to see) but to see how much for 720p vs 1080p
Now it is native 1080p on AC PS4.
Shame about white border, it coming from AnandTech.

You should play Knack for an actual good looking game. I haven't played Killzone yet but I'm assuming it looks amazing too.
This game looks like a low res last generation game that had 1080p slapped on. I wouldn't say it's completely ugly but....ok yeah it's pretty ugly.
Rendered.
Looking at Ubisoft's comments, XB1 is 900p, and the same AA in the PS4 version will be patched in.
Ubisoft said:
So PS4: 900p before patch, 1080p+AA afterUbisoft said:
Xbone: 900p before patch, 900p+AA after
720p is just no....not for a next gen system. I'm sorry Xbox One, but it's not acceptable. I hope Deep Down is given a resolution boost, because I'd rather 30fps in a game like that over 720p.
That 720p shot...woof

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
There's no reason to play AC3. This takes place decades before it.
Pfffff, not everyone has the luxury of 20/20 vision.

Wow, looks like a hugs difference, I'm going to enjoy the 1080p era

Not in the slightest.
For the love of god avoid that turd.
AC4 is leaps and bounds better. I haven't actually wanted to play an Ass Creed game like this since Brotherhood.

I've never bought an AC game before. This will be my first it looks fantastic! Those 1080p shots look incredible. Like high end PC incredible.
No thanks.
I am almost done with AC3. A LOT of people here told me to skip it. I'm glad I didn't. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. It's kind of a glitchfest, but the game has many improvements and the naval battles are outstanding.
I will admit the assassins guild missions were garbage and it seemed like that part of the game was completely forgotten about compared to the prior games. That is my one big complaint about the game. Some people say it has a 10 hour tutorial before the game feels like assassins creed, I found that to be highly exaggerated.
Play it.
Or watch a video of it, whatever. My point was there's a large graphical difference between that and a game like this with last gen textures and character models that were ported over to next gen.
Plus I think the typical AC aesthetic hurts it too. I've never been a big fan of it, it always looks like there's at least a little bit of a vaseline filter turned on that makes the game look a bit blurry and washed out. It's not as bad in parts of this (mostly the island areas) but I've noticed in Havana it's very noticeable.
Play it, just to appreciate callbacks to it in Black Flag and stuff like that. Also, it's a damn great game, even if it's considerable less polished than BF.

I agree, I think 720p is a big no no for next gen, just like sub-HD facto.
Close up Ghost comparison from I post earlier ago.

Jesus, man. Skip it. I've played every AC and ACIII I stopped about 10 or so hours in. It's just that bad. None of the side missions (besides sailing) were fun, I didn't like the main character, it just ... was not good. Unless you really like the time period you may enjoy it more than others. But I didn't like the main character nor many of the main missions (that I played).
ACIV has a lot in its favor. First of all, the framerate is a lot more consistent, so the game is more enjoyable. The locale is 100% better and the sailing (if you like it) is awesome as a travelling dynamic and upgrading your ship is just fun.
ACII and Brotherhood are my favorites, followed by Revelations and III and I are tied for last place. ACIV is easily my new favorite.
I played the demo. Maybe it was a badly calibrated TV or just a really boring level, but it was a lifeless bore. The PS3 Ratchet games felt more alive and were more aesthetically pleasing. Knack probably has more polygons on the character, but that game is a dud and I'd take ACIV's visuals and gameplay (including all those 'terrible' textures) over Knack any day of the week.
I'm still going to GameFly it for the kid though, so maybe I just never got to see the amazing visual masterpiece that is Knack.
My visual "pleasure level" of the games I've played/owned/seen in person in order from best to not as best:
Killzone
ACIV
NBA 2K14
Knack
Yeah, I don't get people saying this is the best looking game on the console. Maybe it's just the environments, but I think the past AC games have looked better. Generic jungle settings and shanty towns aren't as impressive as Italy and Rome.
Maybe just an artistic thing.
Killzone definitely looks leagues above this, though. As it should, since AC4 is coming out on every platform under the sun.

The difference the patch makes is incredible. I honestly cannot believe that compact little black box (PS4) is pushing out something this gorgeous and smooth. Sailing around the Caribbean has only looked better in person. The tech behind the ocean is just astounding. Add to that storms and naval battles and water spouts and rogue waves and you have an extremely exciting time with no fps drops or screen tearing at all. Gorgeous gorgeous game.
And for those who don't know already, I HATED AC3. The setting was great at first but the gameplay was such a mess that finishing it was never an option for me. THIS AC on the other hand, is SO much fun. Even if you don't like the typical AC stuff, these is an absolute ton of stuff to do and most of it is much more fun than anything in AC3.

The thing I don't get is they were saying the resolution was better on the PS4 when the PS4 was in 900p? Does that imply what I don't want to believe it is states about the Xbone's resolution?
If you played last night it was prob. post patch already.

however, the videos that get uploaded are 720p and quite compressed, so you're not going to see much difference.
better than last gen.
that's the inference I got from it anyway.

Thats what that patch was for yesterday?
I didnt feel like waiting to play so I installed it when I was done before I put my PS4 to bed. Unless I just so happened to turn the console one shortly after the patch "released"
Isn't the PS4 supposed to download this stuff on its own if its in standby mode? All my settings seem to be correct to make this happen.

But, the patch notice has no mention of 1080p.

Is there a sale for Black Flag PS4 this Black Friday? I'll probably pick it up then if so.
