Sony has bundles and other stuff for that game.

That is leveling downward and it's not a good thing Ubi. Sales minus one.
Even if they didn't pay for parity, most here wouldn't believe, there's really nothing they can do to proof otherwise.
Sadly.
900p/30fps...unbelievable. The PS4 is so much more capable than this. What a fucking farce.

I'm in the same boat. I'm one of the handful of GAFfers that goes into almost every single "let's crap on Ubisoft" thread to defend them. This is pretty unacceptable though, and while I may eventually get around this AC, it's really cast a very large shadow on a day-1 (or month-1, or maybe even year-1) purchase. I do not endorse this kind of practice, at all.
I wonder, when they pull this kind of crap, how many Xbox One customers they gain compared to the number of PS4/PC customers they lose.
I'm confuse. They did 900p on xone but they can't reach 1080p on ps4 for the CPU. Isn't it the ps4 gpu more powerful compared the xone for same percentage necessary to achieve 1080p? Resolution on xone should be even lower of 900p if the game it's really CPU limited. Or maybe xone has secretly a powerful CPU.

I will. Gameplay, the story, and the graphics still looking as good as e3/gamescom will always matter much more to me than the resolution, or parity. But then again my words will probably be disregarded considering the tag underneath my name. >.>
Damn.. This is bad. If your aiming for parity, just do it and keep you mouth shut, like Bungie did.
Now, I must admit it'll be fun to see all the people here screaming boycott and saying that they'll never buy a Ubisoft game again popping up in the official game thread to say how much fun they're having. It's always the same thing.
Cue MW2 Steam boycott.jpg.

It makes me angry that two of the versions could have been 60fps, but instead one is being held back to make sure a certain console doesn't look bad. Why don't they just framelimit the PC version while they're at it? I hope this game bombs.

lmao such a lame excuse

to be fair i would take 900p/60fps over 1080p/30fps any day on the week. I know AC:U isnt 60fps but im just saying i would always take smother framerate over resolution any day of the week if i have the option.
I guess everyone bitchin should just buy the PC version....it is the master race after all.....1440p and 60fps locked anyone??
it's hard for me to get annoyed by it. partnering with a console manufacturer to help promote the game in exchange for the other version made worse either through parity or exclusive content just seems to be the status quo in gaming now. like pre-order dlc or season passes, it's the new normal for games on this scale where you need to maximize every revenue opportunity to minimize the risk on huge investment.
to me the best recourse is just to value these kinds of games less personally to compensate, so the baggage of all that extra nonsense is offset by the savings made by waiting till it's cheaper. i'm happy playing other games till then.

Um, yes? Let's not pretend we're blind here.
What is the point of asking why Ubi chose to market ACU with XB1? Why did they market WD with PS4?
Watch Dogs is 900p on PS4 and 792p on XB1. Why didn't Ubisoft accept Microsoft's bribes and just bump everything down to 792p for PARITY?
Why ask such a question unless the insinuation is that MS co-marketing involves advertising and then a little extra, massage parlor style?
But if the X1 can run it fluently at 900p, then PS4 could run it at 1080p, or at a higher refresh rate, so if we assume the game will look identical regarding texture, effect amount/resolution, PS4 would be underutilized wouldn't it?

Yeah, all games from Ubisoft
Ubisoft response to the game bombing on PS4: "People that buy PS4s do not like mature games"
Buying used is the solution for me. Will be the first non digital game I have bought in months but I will trudge down to the gamestop to avoid giving Ubi any money for this. After trading in black flag of course.
Next? lol
For what its worth, when I played it at Fanexpo, the sony spokesperson said the game was running at 1080 and 60FPS.
But I didn't notice because I was busy riding a god damn elephant
Eh, the game has only recently (and finally) won me over. I'm not going to deny myself a game I want to play because of this mess, but they should not be holding the version back that is not only capable of doing more of what they wanted, but also has more potential users to sell their game to.

This IS a Ubisoft game. Think twice before buying on PC.
I think this is an interesting point of view. It would imply that developers are using PS4 sales to subsidize XO development. If true, it might be a good business decision, to have sales across two platforms instead of just one.

They could have crammed more effects on the PS4 for all we know...
No, Far Cry 4 has a marketing deal with Playstation.

So the XBox holding the PS3 back was a complete conspiracy back in the day
but now, lol, there not even trying haha
but now, lol, there not even trying haha
By that reasoning how do we know some Marketing deals with Sony havent gimped the xbox one to have lower resolution/frame rates? It doesnt make sense for MS to pay for something like this when the Resolution and Framerate issue is not something that will make the game sell considerable more in Xbox One or Considerable less in PS4.
Option 3 sounds like something that could happen.

Congratulations Ubi. Doing this for marketing purposes is a terrible move.

CPU is also AI and AC is heavily AI based with thousands of NPCs.
That's even better than not buying it at all. I usually keep all my games for the collection but I think Black Flag will be the exeption just because I think doing this is hilarious.
What's doubly annoying about this whole thing is that if MS had spent the money they're spending on all these shifty fucking deals on their hardware in the first place it wouldn't suck and they wouldn't have to spend all the money on shifty deals to try and get people interested in it.
Microsoft's business practices are so exasperating. Just put the effort in to begin with, then you wouldn't have to spend all the money on marketing to disguise the lack of it!

I hope not
i really hope this is not a trend. so the way to even out the hardware differences between the PS4 and the XBO is to make the developers gimp out the PS4 version? this just sucks.
i'll be buying everything sony exclusive game and the DLCs if this this the case, just out of principle.
Not all of them. Just this one. And The Division supposedly?
