Oh, yes. This is clearly the truth. Obviously they just wanted to avoid the debate. Because somebody said it, that makes it a true statement.

So many confused people in here.
We aren't angry that the PS4 and XB1 versions are running at the same specs.
We're mad because Ubisoft flat out said PS4 could do better, but they decided to keep it the same because of "debates".
Nobody has a problem with them busting their ass on the XB1 version to get it up to where the PS4 version is. It's the fact that they chopped the PS4 version down.

So they cripple the version with most of their sales because reasons? What reason can they have to cripple one version if it isnt MS telling them so?

Why shouldn't I? If he wants to spout his pro-gamer crap all the time then I'm going to call him out for doing this shit because if its an MS deal then he was the one who did it. And yes I'm assuming this is an MS deal because thats what it seems like to me and until proven otherwise that will be my assumption.

If Far Cry changes there should be an uproar as it was 1080p with a solid fram rate not 3 weeks ago running live on a PS4.
But as I said I really don't see it downgrading at all.
Has nothing to do with pixels, it has to do with intentionally being gimped for bullshit reasons.
It's horse shit
Yeah, still not really convinced that the large audience actually cares about something like 900p/1080p.
Parity or not, I don't see this affecting sales for the xbox or ps4

Far Cry 4's been 1080p30 with HRAA since E3.

Yeah okay. I can't imagine MS shunting one of the biggest games of the generation over that comparison. It'd be crazy.
Lets not kid ourselves here, they are both identical CPU's 1 running at a higher clock because it has more overheads to contend with, snap features, kinnect etc... It does NOT have a higher CPU resource pool to use for games. PS4 chooses not to use that clock.

This is stopping the Parity Debate but you've created the GAF uproar
I thought it was directly from Ubisoft.
Also, I am confused as to what you're insinuating.

So all that Microsoft money for Call of Duty marketing and map packs couldn't save Ghosts from being 720p on XB1?
This argument that Microsoft forced parity is so illogical it's not even funny.

Unless Microsoft payed Ubisoft for this, I doubt it will last
Cause if this is the new standard for publishers to appease a company that fucked up in developing a console, I'm outie.

Does anyone expect any major actual gameplay changes in this game? Hell no.
From what I have seen most people were excited about a pure next gen Assassins Creed without a last gen console holding it back.
Now we get a next-gen Assassins Creed with a next-gen system holding back the Ps4 version from looking as solid as possible. Oh what an industry this is.

The reason people are pissed is because many here bought one console over another due to it having the better specs and thus the superior versions of multiplat games. Forcing parity is political bullshit. If the extra power is there (relative to the competing console), it should be utilized, especially if it requires hardly any extra work to leverage (as is likely in this case).

I just find it hilarious how important this shit is to you guys. Like, who honestly gives a fuck? Multiple people in this thread said that Ubisoft should have just kept their mouths shut - if they had, you guys wouldn't give a shit. I doubt that most of you could even tell that the game is not running at 1080p; hell, if it weren't for Digital Foundry, you wouldn't have these kinds of discussions in the first place. The fact that people get sooooo caught up with NUMBERS is insane to me.
Like, okay, if, for example, they reduced the size of the world or removed certain features because the Xbone can't handle that shit, I could understand people getting mad. But this? This is just pathetic.
I think it shows the naivity of this industry that its supposed lead creators do not understand they are competing with others. The PS4 version is competing with other PS4 games and the Xbox version with other Xbox games.
Thats not a terrible evil thing; thats just natural.
Honestly I think most of these issues are from a lack of imagination when porting games to different systems. This is just the cheapest option but I think it'll hurt them compared to other games.

The true reason why he got promoted!
After the PR fiasco in 2013 they had to show a new/fresh face for all the 180°s.
He isn't a bit better than the rest imo.

Whelp, fuck this game. I really didn't think dev's would do that.

So when it's 1080 on PS4 and 900 on Xb1, what will their excuse be? Ubisoft seems to be using the "we don't want a debate" excuse here, so why not there?
hint: they have a marketing deal with MS for ACU.
Yup Spencer has done 2 and only 2 good things for xbox
1. Get the games media and a large section of the gamer community to eat his shit and call it gourmet
2. Take kinect out of the box, aka what any bafoon could have told you pre launch.

This thread is fucking hilarious Sigh.
Man, if I were Ubisoft PR and read I this thread and saw that they lost the Sony crowd, I'd probably be all like, "Fine, message heard loud and clear. No parity. Parity bad. We've fixed it: Xbox One 900p and PS4 720p. Happy now?"
But that's why I'm not allowed to run a company's PR. ^_^;
I can't remember the last time I saw a thread move this fast...
Is it going to be like this the rest of the generation every time the resolutions/frame rates are the same across consoles?
I mean, the accusations in here are flying like crazy...

There goes my interest for the game. Next-gen my ass.
Ah, cool. But my remark was a bit generalistic actually; enough expos where those units are running on PCs with a console added for marketing purposes. Always reminds me of those fake Marshall-stacks you see with rock and metalbands, heh.
Yeah this is bullshit. Im not going to promote this with my money. Preorder cancelled and i loved black flag. Sorry but parity can fuck right off. Program to each consoles strengths or im not buying your software.

Is it though?
Yes, no evidence.
The comment very nearly spells it out. The rest is common business sense, not "Fox News" logic.
You want to talk illogical?
They understood that 720p was a PR problem even before the console released. Albert Penello came in here strictly to say that he didn't know the resolution, which was not true.
They have been sending help to developers in order to hit a higher resolution, which implies they understand that it's costing them sales.
Clearly resolution deltas matter to Microsoft.
What's illogical is assuming that a company, when faced with the prospect of decreased sales, won't adjust its contracts to try and remedy that fact.

Wow...
I'm insinuating that they are liars, and bad liars because this was the best they could come up with.
Not really. It's pretty baffling that they just came right out and declared that they are holding one version back in order to avoid a debate. Failing to realize that they are going to create an even bigger one than they would have had they just said nothing. Or better yet, made the best version they could on each system, making everyone happy in the process. Regardless, this is some real clown shoes PR.

No I am not please tell me.
Yeah I mean customers voicing their frustration that Ubisoft is intentionally gimping their product and giving gamers an inferior product is surely worth being even more spiteful
