Pretty sure that's pure BS. The only reason Kojima came to Microsoft Stage was because he took a big bag of cash from them. I'm sure he always planned to go with Sony, but Kojima really loves money.
It's not console wars. It is me saying I will not give a company money because they gimped the software that I am supposed to be paying for to please MS because of their co-marketing deal and to avoid some non existant backlash over the resolution of said software on different hardware. It's that simple. It's not console wars. It's common sense.
well, there could be anything in that setup. Wouldnt be the first time if the console was just there for the looks
Nope. It was definately a PS4 demo. I pushed the home button and saw it was an on console demo.
AC unity on the other hand was being shown on a PC running on Xbox one specs.
I don't think there were many.
The games that achieved parity were few and far between but, when they did, it never felt as if the game was being limited by PS3. Look at the Dead Space titles, for instance, which achieved parity at 1280x720 on both systems (the expected resolution of last generation) while delivering excellent visuals. Criterion's racing games as well were all beautiful across the board.
Simply based on the differences between multiple previous multiplats maybe (with some of those games still having deals with MS)? The strange "792p" (instead of 720p) resolution for certain games? Not really hard.
I would join the "it's MS fault"- club if Call of Duty AW and Evolve also run at the same sub-1080p resolution on both systems for the same "reason".
Far Cry 4's been 1080p30 with HRAA since E3.

Thanks for that link. I missed it and I love a good AA powerpoint.

PS4 is far superior, not gonna buy a Ubisoft game ever again.
Yes it's sets a precedent, when it's proven that PS4 players will still buy the game in droves everyone else will be asking "ok, so someone like Ubisoft can get away with it and sell tons, but we have to go above and beyond and not be lazy/bribed. Let's just do parity".

What?
Amazing.

What incentive does Ubisoft have to force parity if money isn't exchanging hands with Microsoft?
Let's not be naive.
5 dollar bomba won't happen till the end of the generation when 6 more assassins creed games come out.
Honestly, I believe the PS4 version will sell more despite this revelation.

Parity is reason enough for me to boycott a game; if any console maker messed up its machine architecture, it's not a valid reason for the others platform to be limited by the dumb one.

Why wouldn't anyone want the best out of a device they bought? Why should one version of a game be gimped just because the other console is weaker?

Kinda weird they just came out and said it so straight.
Either way I'm still getting this, its stupid to let gaming morals stop you from enjoying a game you would otherwise purchase.

No, the bone actually does have a 10% clock advantage over the PS4 SOC. The memory subsystem on the bone is where the problem is..

It just seems like they're looking out for their best interests. You can't blame them for trying to make their machine more appealing. You can get mad at them for it, sure, but it makes business sense to ask that your version of a game not compare terribly if you're putting up marketing money.
Sony used to have exclusives too back in the day. They locked up those ps2 GTA games for a bit before they hit the OG xbox, for example. These days, they just comarket and ask for some small but not really impactful DLC stuff when they push a game, like they did with Destiny.
In the end, so long as the game looks and plays well people will still buy it. People bought Watchdawgs even though it was a turd on both platforms, right? And if Ubisoft hadn't come out and said this nonsense, no one would've cared or gave a shit.
I dunno, seems like there wouldn't be a peep of controversy hadn't one person basically outed one of the terms of a comarketing deal that proved unfavorable to the PS4 owners. Had they released the game and not said a thing, people would've bought it and nothing would've come of it.

Could be lazy and not want to work extra on the ps4 version. It isn't always money being exchanged that does this. You have no evidence and sound like a fox news anchor.

I just don't understand why people get so worked up over this stuff. If you have been interested in AC: Unity up until now, passing because of parity seems so pointless. Just play the game. Losing sleep over pixels is not a good look.

Fuck you Ubi. Seriously. I'm done with you. I don't even own a PS4 or XB1 currently and I'm done with you.
"We didn't want to start a console warring argument but we're openly admitting that the PS4 is more powerful and that we're gimping that version so others don't feel bad". Oh yeah. That'll keep everyone quiet. Morons. Who was stupid enough to be allowed to affirm what was previously just a conspiracy theory meme?
+1 actual conspiracy theory proven true by a company's own admission!

For now.
What if it's not 1080p on XB1 and Ubisoft want to avoid debates and stuff?
The more I keep explaining it, the more it sounds like baseless assumption on my end.
Though process is that PP was marketed pretty heavily for Xbox one prior to the graphics comparison trailer, and after PP had a Sony focus.
Just assumption on my part MS PR wasn't happy a game they were backing was being shown as inferior.
So tales from my ass.

I'm really pissed and angry now...... Can't stand stupid decisions like this.

"hey guys ignore everything negative just give them your money i don't understand because i haven't read the thread but please still give ubi your money thanks you were looking forward to it anyway just hush and give them your money"
Are you kidding?
I think it's kinda bullshit that Ubisoft are preventing themselves from releasing superior products because of essentially console wars ("debates and stuff").

There's no much to add, to be honest. I just won't buy it and won't support this kind of practices even if the game is the Citizen Kane of gaming.
Agree. That should be locked as the game's OT title.
