Assassin's Creed Unity Thread

Ubisoft already said that there wouldn't be a patch tho...

Damnit. See that right there. There is no sense to it. They can patch the game just like Black Flag, but they are choosing not to.

Well the response is substantial and less than happy. The neogaf thread that was linked to earlier has passed 110 pages in only 14 hours and doesnt appear to be slowing down. Im not saying it will make a difference, but this will remain a black mark on this games record.

No it wont, it'll only remain a black mark to the vocal minority, i.e. ALL of neogafs users.

Lets be clear, Ubisoft isnt doing this so that there wont be debates. Thats a crock of **** that Ubisoft is trying to feed us. The fans arent to blame for this.

This was done for money or because Ubisoft has some sort of deal with Microsoft. Hell, maybe MS has them bent over a barrel somehow and wont let them release a better version on PS4. IDK but the "official" reason is horse****. And frankly Im not really mad at Ubi. They are a game company which in this day and age means that at any given moment they are one or two screw-ups from bankruptcy. So if they did do this for money or to keep MS happy I cant say I blame them. But you can believe Im pissed at MS.

If MS would actually spend their money on the console hardware instead of shady under the table deals then maybe the XBox wouldnt be weaker than the PS4.

Instead they'd rather rig the game so they can compete, and thats some crooked **** as far as Im concerned.

Edit: Sorry for ranting. This stuff just makes my blood boil.

Really? This is what makes your blood boil? The fact you wont be playing AC in 1080p, but in 900? Do you even own a TV where you can tell the difference? Something OVER 47"?

Where is your proof that MS paid Ubi? Why haven't they done it for other games? Why didnt they do it for ACIV? Or Battlefield? Or Call of Duty? ALL of those games were big sellers and MS would of been much better off keeping those titles down on the PS4 than AC: Unity.

Im half joking when I say this, but you are why this happened, gamers like you. You were prob one of the ones thumping your chest about how the PS4 ran everything in 1080 while the Xbox coughed and wheezed to only put out 720. Ubi was prob just as tired of hearing it as the rest of the gaming community, so now we all have to suffer because the hardcore PS fans just couldnt shut the hell up about their 1080p. Thanks PS4 users, thanks a lot.

I personally think this whole situation is funny as hell. One, because I couldnt care less about resolution, its a stupid topic to start with, 2 because of how horribly this backfired on Ubi and finally because its absolutely delightful seeing the gaming community act up over issues like this. Just hilarious really.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The game should be in 1080p. There is no excuse at this point. That being said, this has nothing to do with Microsoft. This is Ubisoft saving money and making development easier for them, which I understand.

I guess that's understandable since you admitted you do your gaming on a 32". I used to feel the exact same way last year when I had the same one before I did my upgrade. It was only after that that I truly understood where other gamers were coming from when it came to this issue

 

[TheVileOne]

If I have a 1080p TV, why can't the game run in 1080p? I really don't understand.

 

[Havok83]

If I have a 1080p TV, why can't the game run in 1080p? I really don't understand.

there are 3 components involved. The tv, the hardware (system) and the software (game). Having a 1080p is the first step but if you don't have the other two which are capable of it, then you wont get a 1080p game. For example even though the PS3 could output in 1080p, few games actually supported that due to technical limitations rendering at a higher resolution, which is why 720p was the standard Some games even dipped below that to 576p and upscaled to 720p

Forget it.

I'm not going to purchase the game because of this change, because i am a valuable consumer and i will voice my opinion with that.

I'm still looking for the next-gen port of Rogue, but Unity has lost my confidence with this move. I know this can be seen as a *****ing post, but i also just wanted to share my thoughts about this.

It's not about the graphics, it's about how the company treats its consumers.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I may noy be able to spot the difference between 900p and 1080p on my 32" (Ive never really tried to), but when I played Last of Us the difference between 30fps and 60fps was night and day.

There hasn't been a single open world game this gen that ran at 60 fps. I guarantee that can't be changed.

 

[X Knight]

so, it looks like Ubisoft has already started backtracking.

they've said the final specs aren't "cemented" yet.

so.....iow......that gives them the wiggle room to release a 1080p patch for the PS4 or for both systems in the future.

 

[X Knight]

and I think the thing most people are complaining about is not the actual resolution but moreso the original comment made by the Ubisoft guy. that they locked the res on both systems to 900p to "avoid debate."

which carries the implication that they purposefully locked the PS4 at a res below its max potential in order to bring it to parity with the X1 ( a slightly weaker system ).

I think that's the issue gamers ( and especially PS4 owners ) are complaining about.

if the dev hadn't come out and used those words. if he had just said that they chose 900p and 30fps on both systems because that's the combo that works best for the game's performance, I think there would have been less of an issue.

I agree. Unity looks fantastic and everybody about it sounds amazing. I love how multiplayer is gone is favor of co-up.

Only wish I had a Xbox One or PS4.

Enjoy the ride, not at how many fps the game will run.

I get what you mean but co-op is multiplayer.

I cant remember if revealed or not but does anyone know if horses have made a return?

 

[Benstamania]

Pat, while I agree with you a lot of the time.. You have to admit that FORCED parity is ********. Hell I do most of my gaming on my One but I still think this is crap.. Right now the PS4 has the bigger install base, Ubisoft is more or less saying screw you guys.. We could make yours 1080/60fps.. But.. Nah.

It's a crock of **** and it's going around more than just Gaf. I was on the fence about buying this anyway, more so with so many other games coming out around that time. Ubisoft being dickbags just made it easier for me.

Thing is... I was planning on getting this for the One. Now I'll just wait and snag it used.

 

[Benstamania]

You.. You do understand that it's NOT about resolution as much as it is about the forced parity. Forced parity is NOT good and shouldn't be ignored. What if Nintendo had the clout to do it last gen? People would have been losing their minds.

Sure.. Enjoy the game if you get it but I'm voting with my wallet..forced parity is a crock of **** and shouldn't be acceptable. It's not just as simple as "hey guys we really tried for 1080p/60fps but found that 900/30 locked was best.

No. They forced parity because they're in an exclusive marketing deal with MS and they'd rather do that than put a little more work on the PS4 version.

 

[Benstamania]

And I'm not blaming MS here. This is all on Ubisoft.

 

[Benstamania]

Aaaaaand now Ubisoft is in full on damage control, hahaha!

Ubisoft says resolution not finale. Could "go beyond" 900p.

But..but what about the debates Ubisoft?! Think of the chil'rins!

changing their tunes bc their last statement led to just that....debates.

I kind of expect a 1080p patch to come soon after release like we got with 4

 

[X Knight]

wonder if they release a 1080p patch for X1, too.
