Oh dear...
Really hoping this was just some PR gaffe or spin mistake and not actually a decision they made...
If not then it's a bad decision. I can understand the knee jerk reaction to "let's avoid those negative stories that happens with every game that has a res difference" but the thing is, you can't.
We're not usually talking about the game itself but about the hardware decisions MS made with it's product and the consequences that has. And we as consumers will, quite correctly so, talk about this regarding product differences or inadequacies. Of course there are trolls and what not who will fuel the fires but trying to stifle that will actually make it worse. MS made a weaker product and people will debate this. This is healthy. It is a shame however that game makers get caught in the cross fire.
The big irony is now for Ubi is that by trying to circumvent this by specifically lock down the PS4 version to perform worse they are going to get much more press about this decision ever than the standard "PS4 version is 1090 Xbone is 900" articles. This is going to spawn editorials about if it was the right decision and what it means for the industry as a whole. In fact what they have done here is changed the focus from the xbone hardware over to themselves. In effect, they have put a big olde galleon of fuel on a small dying fire.

Ubisoft is going to stealth release a 1080p patch for the PS4 now lol
Well yeah. Resolution means absolutely nothing in that regard because the CPU isn't dealing with that, the GPU is. CPU load will remain the same. The bottleneck decreases when you put the GPU to work. It's just that there will be no effect on framerate no matter what you do. If you lower the graphics framerate will remain the same.

Wonder if the PC version will be now locked to 900p to keep the parity. Never heard such rubbish from UBI - likely paid to do it this way

I'm not someone who cancels pre-orders on principle but they chose the worst month to pull this shit, I knew I had to cancel a couple of games and they've just made their title a given.

Isnt that Phil Spencer guy great, isnt he? All he does and is spending money on is to subtract other peoples experience and not to add for his own user base.
And companies like EA, Square enix and Ubisoft are willing to play with him that dirty anti consumer game.
But but we need to support these guys because reasons.... Fuck off!

The annoying thing about this is that the mere existence of a competing console (XB1) is making a game I want for my console worse. So I would be better off if the XB1 didn't exist. I never want to think something like that.
Thanks a freaking bunch Ubisoft. Fingers crossed for a patch as I will almost definitely going to be buying it anyway (based on what Ive seen)

No I understand why people are annoyed. I'm just curious about the mindset of some people.
If the game had looked exactly as it will now on the PS4 but was 720 on the X1 would people have bought it?

so instead of debating which console is better, we will debate which developers suck the most (hint, it's ubisoft).

If they can't hold a locked 30fps at 900p, there's a good chance the framerate would be even worse at 1080p.

I hope the patch part ends up being true. Everything up til then will certainly happen.

Honestly I don't think they will. That would actually take some integrity.
They know people will still buy the game and their marketing deal with MS probably pays for lost sales from this 10x over.

As stated, I wonder if MS had something to do with this?
Would MS really sink that low?
I'm not a fan of MS, but if this is on them, I would be surprised.

Do they not realise that aiming for parity, for the sake of not wanting arguments over which version is the best, will only cause people to then argue about the fact that both versions look the same? People are going to argue regardless. They should have just focused on getting the most out of each console.
But anyway, Ubisoft aren't doing themselves any favours, and I won't be buying this game at release. I won't be supporting parity this gen. I've lost so much respect for them over the last 5 years or so.

I'm right there with ya.
It'll be fine tho. The majority of the userbase doesn't give a shit. I'll be surprised if the PS4 SKU isn't the highest selling.

He tried, but the blades got caught in his sleeves.
yes. it is not about the resolution..it is about the behaviour
Well I though the 8 Aces are on ps4 for that?

their PC port will be unoptimized trash like every other ubi game. it's the same company who did the last few ass creed games.

PC version max resolution of 1600x900 for further parity?

I can't say that I'm surprised. All of the non-PC footage they've shown has looked aliased and fuzzy.
And I seriously doubt that the "parity" has anything to do with Ubisoft wanting to end arguments. If they could have gotten the game running at 1080p on PS4 they would have. I'd surmise that it's an issue of time and, more importantly, a weak CPU as they've stated. If a game is CPU limited a better GPU isn't going to do much.
Everyone getting upset needs to relax as well. Running at the same resolution doesn't mean that both games will look the same.

Does anyone know if this will affect Far Cry 4? If so I can skip that too.

Aww, you're cute, puddin'.
Even the used copy has to be sourced from a new copy. That would still be justifying a sale. Make every reseller feel the pinch, even little Johnny with an eBay account.

The PC ports are being made by Ubisoft Kiev who are known for the crappy ports for example Splinter Cell Conviction, AC Black Flag etc

I just have to tell myself not to buy it. I somehow fall into the hype of Ass Creed every year. That and I don't think I've ever picked it up at more than $35 during every black friday.
What in the actual FUCK?!?
The fact that this actually happened is one thing, but their PR department really let this guy just come out and say it? Nice to be honest I guess but incoming shit storm. This is just a really really stupid decision from Ubisoft and I honestly can't imagine why they'd do it except $$$$.
I own both systems but this isn't making me want to go buy the XONE version, it's just making me pissed at Microsoft.
