As a reminder.

Now if only they'd limit the maximum PC resolution to 900p so that PC gamers get the hint and stop buying Assassin's Creed.

Idk man, seeing a good amount of people who support this shitty example, it could happen. New low standards for all!
Zing!
A game being CPU bound impacts framerate, as you mentioned, not resolution.
Making a few posts and canceling a pre order seems like the perfect reaction. No one is taking it too seriously unless they are like calling up ubisoft people on the phone to harass them or something.

Expect it to be common for these major AAA blockbusters. Maybe not a Far Cry level of blockbuster but for games like:
Assassin's Creed
Destiny
Call of Duty
Madden
FIFA
Probably future Battlefields
Those types of mega, 5 mil+ sales blockbusters.
At least we then knew for certain that we're now living in bizarro world.
Well, in that case, why are we all paying the same premium price?
It's not Ubisoft's fault Microsoft's basket can't have 30 oranges.

I would think the majority of audience would not care at all. Do you really think majority of people care about resolution at all? I certainly dont think they do

If you are in-fact CPU bound, increasing resolution comes for free* until you reach the GPU ceiling.oldergamer said:
*Most software is not exclusively CPU or GPU bound 100% of the time, so while AC games are generally CPU bound across the board (on PCs and consoles alike) it doesn't mean GPU always(or even most of the time) has enough headroom left to increase resolution.
do you really expect genuine evidence to come out? No big publisher is going to come out and say MS paid us so we gimped the ps4 version. you are just going to hurt your relationship with MS and the person that says it is most likely going to be out of a job.
Do not buy it..Ubisoft Kiev is doing that and there recent pc ports are just horrible.

Polygon should be coming out in support of this any minute now

That twitter account is always wonderfully on point.
Canceling preorders and refusing to buy the game new are pretty reasonable ideas considering if we don't do anything about forced parity then other companies are going to follow suit and we will wind up with 900p/30 fps games on the PS4 for the rest of the generation in order to avoid making the XB1 version look inferior.

Another anti-consumer action by a major publisher/developer. This is what makes this industry worse.

Ubisoft is pretty stupid to pubicly declare gimping the version with the biggest install base out of current gen.

I love me the holier than thou people purchasing it on PC
"You guys are silly / overreacting, fighting over resolution, graphics and parity. It's about having fun." Which is why I'm buying on the PC, so I can play it at 1440x2560 and tweak it for 4 days straight before even playing 3% of the main story...bitching and bemoaning the lack of driver & performance updates in the performance thread.
Considering many publishers lock PC games to 30 FPS and intentionally gimp it / lazily port it...surely people can understand the sentiment here? I won't touch UBI PC ports after the Watch_Dogs disaster.

You could have made other potential arguments for the reason then. This is just gimping a version on one platform to make the other platform-holder happy. It really is hard not to be cynical about the gaming industry sometimes.
You sure it is not memory bandwidth issues?
If it was CPU bound a resolution drop would not do anything.
Yeah, but at ~console settings they don't seem to be so bad.

This guy always delivers.
Why are you quoting me? I just dont believe MS is paying for the resolution to get lowered for the PS4

Avoid the debate.........yeah that's gone well, you've just created a shitstorm of epic proportions with all sorts of theories getting banded about...PR disaster!
I wasn't buying this this month because Destiny and Alien will take up my time plus my backlog...but now, think i'll wait for a patch or a sale

Yeah, that's neat. I think I'll pass entirely then. Thanks UBI.
What is your point then if you are on numerous occasions attempting to boast about X1's higher clock speed?
What possible benefit would it have in this point in topic if X1's extra resources have no bearing on games performance.

I don't either.
And yet Ubisoft forced parity, so obviously they think enough people out there care.
The thread is flying.

Problem, senior producer?

One game alone is not enough to prove that difference. Bayonetta is an example of 30fps vs 60fps.
Like I said I dont argue that PS4 is a stronger console. But by what we have seen today, saying that is MUCH stronger sounds like a hyperbole. Maybe I will believe it after DC or The Order (depends on what MS will show later).

I read "Assassin's Creed Parity" and thought the name of next year's game had been leaked.

I don't think that is feasible, any modern engine its not a big leap to modify the operating resolution through the game files (dsfix).
That still don't stop awful uplay and bad performance from plaguing their games though. I don't think too many people are huge fans of Ubi on pc.

So, how much do you guys think MS paid to Ubisoft to make AC:U not have better graphics on the PS4?
Jokes aside, this is so stupid. Will PC version be the same at ultra specs to avoid debates and stuff? lol

They have no reason to avoid "debate and stuff" other than to avoid people calling the PS4 version better and again calling out the XBO as the weaker system.
Gosh, I wonder who wouldn't be happy with hearing that for the millionth time? You, being an xbox apologist based on your post history, probably know his name. It rhymes with Fencer.

As a PC only gamer I can't condone this. I will be skipping Ubi games as long as this keeps up. Granted Ubi doesn't give a shit about PC so I probably wasn't going to buy any of their games outside of a 75-90% off sale anyways but this is still bullshit
Making such a big deal out of something that has a small impact on your experience is stupid.
Like someone in this thread already said, being confused and asking why 1080p isn't pissible is a reasonable reaction to this news and their justification for it. Acting like Ubisoft killed your mother is not. People talking about how ubisoft is now on their shit list alongside ea. Or proudly proclaiming that they aren't going to get the game that they already thought was going to be good enough to fucking pre order it months in advance is stupid.
