First AC that had me interested in years, but now they are avoiding my purchase too. There is simply no excuse for parity, imo.

Like there isn't enough competition on Nov 18th (including your own game far cry). Now you give people an excuse not to buy your game. I wonder if this is why they partnered with MS for this game.
Either way I wasn't that interested before, still not interested, but this is just stupid to announce.

Wow, what a dick move.
I don't own a PS4 or plan on getting this game, but if I did I'd definitely change my mind and cancel that shit.
Seriously, fuck off Ubisoft.

I'm going to wait and see with this. I'll probably buy Unity second-hand so that Ubisoft don't get any of my money.
The best way to stop this stuff would be to make the lost PS4 sales so costly to Ubisoft that they refuse to take MS money in the future. Unfortunately I don't think that kind of reaction is possible.

Black Flag was my first AC and I loved it, Unity was actually looking great to me. But I can't support this nonsense.

What's shady about it? They clearly said they didn't want to get into talks about differences so it is what it is.
I agree it's bullshit because they are trying to back out the conversation but it's still honest.
But it's being honest. I may not like it at all, but they are being real. They aren't going to come out and say," Because of Microsoft".

To be honest, im not utterly convinced the game would of achieved 1080p on PS4 with a locked 30fps with no dips.
But saying this the same deal you have a marketing deal with Microsoft is...ill advised at best.

I am laughing my ass off at the bullshit that goes on in this industry, money is king
This is way too much a concession to make for the Xbox One, you would not do something like that for WiiU don't start doing this if the hardware are not at an even playing field push the companies to make better choices by losing out on a few advancements as normal.
Downgrading to get parity is not a wise move here

"900p is best for Playstation--here's why"
Is this something that can be developed and optimised for going forward? And do you think the AI in this game even warrants the commentary, or just Ubisoft PR fluff? Nothing I've seen from the AI looks particularly awe inspiring. In-fact, it looks rather sub-standard.
Better yet, buy it used. You get the game without financially supporting Ubisoft.

"We wanted to avoid debates and stuff." That is what Ubisoft thinks of its customer base.

Has officially lost all meaning now.
I'd like to say pre order cancelled, but it would be a lie. I had no intention of picking up another version of thier (insert skin) open world title, I'm done with them. And if this is going to be Ubi's stance going forward, I'll be skipping anything that might have interested me.
Can we please ban these comments? It's this year's "U mad."

"Avoid all the debates"?
What is wrong with this company? Why don't you lock the PC version too so that we don't debate about people playing it in 4k?
This is anti-consumer. Terrible decision, way to kill my hype for your product.

what a cluster fuck. So as a company you put better hardware into your machine only to have a third party intentionally downgrade your version so it's not better then on a competitors machine?

Just make sure to not run it at a resolution higher than 900p. Wouldn't want to anyones feelings now.
This isn't even just about the resolution. It's about using the technicality of a marketing deal to eliminate the potential negative message of your version of the game being the lesser version.
It's Microsoft purchasing the right to gimp the PS4 version of the Assassin's Creed. I guess this is how Penello and the others will finally get their wish. The company that created DirectX10 couldn't figure out any other way to reach parity.

Hmmm
Most of the recent EA games are *identical, Activision games are identical, and now UBI games are identical.
Makes me wonder if this is less about one game, and more of an active push to get games performing the same way on both consoles.
*I'm sure they're not 100% identical, but the differences are minimal compared to other games

This is really unfair. I mean I own both the Xbox One and PS4. But I want to play it where it will look the best. And the PS4 version is supposed to be 1080P no problem. But they gimp it now due to parity and probably not to anger MS. So is this another one of Microsoft's bullying? Very dirty from Microsoft.

Wow. All i can say is that i´m not supporting such an approach with my money.
Great comment...
Knowing MS' past shitty practices, I wouldn't be surprised. All the more reasons for me to not buy their products whenever possible. And now I won't be buying Ubi products either.
Thank you for your great insight. Would you care to elaborate?
That's the thing: even if someone wanted to, they couldn't. Open platforms games gaming gamers etc. etc.
I could say Ubisoft and that would answer most of the answer with regards to tech. But, GPGU was always going to be late gen thing.
Precisely, you do not see PC's getting Parity enforced due to fairness... nothing over 1080p or 30fps... Surely playstation themselves will have issue with this behavior?? Im sure they are not too pleased with it, its 1 step too far.
