What the hell
Assassin's Creed "Parity": Unity is 900p/30fps on both PS4 & Xbox One

LOLLOLOL.
Dude...They are just BSing you.
This is an AC game, there has never been any AI in the series.
The guards will wait for you to attack, then you attack or parry, ect ect ect.
AFK in crowd to avoid detection, or murder someone next to the AI and they won't notice you until 10 sec later.
There's more to graphics than resolution. Destiny lacks good anti-aliasing. With the extra power of the PS4, Bungie could have pretty easily implemented a better AA solution for Destiny, even if just using a bit of downsampling.
But they didn't. And its not because Microsoft paid them not to.
I also never said I was 'ok' with anything, either way. As a PC gamer, I deal with having my games 'gimped' all the time by consoles. I don't complain about it. But then again, I also generally get to choose things like resolution myself. Its a trade-off.
900p 24 fps parity.

Black Flag was cross-gen though, a launch title to boot.
I actually haven't viewed much footage for Unity but if it's next-gen only it's probably more graphically intensive.
That's not a next-gen console shot is it? That's terrible. (And I'm talking about the aliasing, not the video encoding)Doesn't look good IQ-wise to me.
And that's a relatively easy scene to anti-alias.

This is hilarious. As unoptomised as the PC version will be, at least we get the choice.

No I highly doubt Ubi would use Azure. Both consoles are severely CPU gimped. I have read a bunch of articles where they express disappointment with the CPUs and not so much the GPUs. Both consoles came in really low on the CPU side, and there are concerns that this will hamper games going forward.
MS is attacking it via Azure offload going forward and a little DX12 magic.
One of the devs on this forum is using Azure for his current game.

This is what I am allowed to share.
Running in real-time on XBO. Very early wip, so don't care for the lighting and so on. It is a very basic frequency test where the grass splines update 12 times a second. This is nothing special so far. The cool thing is tho that the start and endpoints of our splines influenced by wind and objects are being calculated by Azure. This means: the physic calculations you see are costing us pretty much no local power (excluding GPU ofc). We can use the saved power for other things - like AI, animations and so on. We are very proud of it - especially since we completely eliminated any chance of clipping. I just wanted to add that here.
And no, this won't be a golf/grass/whatever simulator - I just thought maybe it is interesting to see
I know GAF "in general" is very pessimistic about the cloud. And yes, somehow I can understand that - because so far, there weren't that much games that really took advantage of server calculations. To be honest, no new-gen so far really did (Titanfall touched 5% of the possibilities ...). And this is also why I try to be very careful about the words I choose.
No. You can not boost your games resolution with Azure. And no. You can not create better lighting effects with Azure. But, if you focus on it, you can still boost the overall graphical look of your game by a mile. We are currently creating a game. But in fact, we are kind of creating two-in-one. One with Azure available, and one for offline only. Everything you code, you need to code for two scenerarios. This is a ton of work. if online = dynamic grass; if offline=static grass ... To say it very simple. And so on.That's why we are currently thinking about going "online-only". But to be very open to you, we have some fear about that. Obviously. The gaming community is very careful when they hear "online-only" ... Games like Sim City simply ... Well, did it wrong.
If I could show you a screen comparison of our latest build right now - Azure on/off (no, sorry, I can't ...), you would understand what I am talking about. Wind, dynamically moving vegetations, footprints that stay for hours and even wildlife nearly without losing any local CPU power. This is just awesome in the right situations.
I know MS has some own projects in the works, too, that will go all-in with the Azure servers. Crackdown is the already known example.
That's all I can say for now. Really. I'm out here!
This is the real reason for visual parity. And it's quite pity for PS4 owners.
Like most of you said - thank god for the exclusive titles on PS4.

Of course not. The same way MS had nothing to do with Konami removing the technical document saying PES 2015 was 1080p on PS4 and 720p on XB1. Oh wait Adam Bhatti confirmed it was MS. Nevermind...

Hopefully they reconsider.
This was going to be Day 1 for me, but if they are going the parity route than fuck Ubi. I'll wait for Unity to drop to $29.99 or something. Maybe by then they'll have a 1080p patch or something.
Ridiculous.

I don't think his comment is supposed to be taken as the CPU is really restrictive and instead the CPUs are the same so why not lock the GPUs too?

Wow. Money hats or an excuse not to optimize? What does it matter to them if PS4 users have a higher resolution? It is still a copy sold.. I doubt this would have prevented a XB1 owner to skip on the game.

Perfect.
arity.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Eh, different engines and graphical priorities. I doubt FC4 wants the amount of NPCs on screen Unity does.

Good job, Ubisoft.
I won't buy your game now.
Enough other games to buy.

No, it makes perfect sense. People will lean towards the best version of the game if they have the platform for it. If both are equal, it matters not, and sales can be more evenly spread. I'm fairly confident you can understand that, agree or not.

Bullshit. Guess I'll pick this up used for $10 a month after release. Screw you Ubi!

This is quite outrageous. Parity didn't matter at all last gen when Xbox 360 games ran better than PS3 games. Ugh. It's really annoying in this situation because this Assassin's Creed game actually looks really interesting and fun to play, and Ubisoft has to go and ruin it with this parity crap. How disappointing.

I own an XBox One and a PS4 primarily for two reasons.
They are purposely taking the power away from educated consumers by doing this move.
That is unacceptable. Truly unacceptable.
- To obtain the exclusives for each console
- To decide which console I will purchase multi-platform games on purely from a technical perspective.

Such bullshit. This never happened when the Xbox and GameCube outperformed the PS2 or when the Xbox 360 beat the PS3 in multiplatform titles. But now that it's the other way round, suddenly they have to keep parity. I wonder if it involves the moneyhatting?
What am I saying? Of course it does. MS can't stand being second fiddle this time around.
