Destiny is 1080p. Your analogy is flawed.

People still whined and bitched that Bungie had not taken the effort to make the PS4 version better. 'If the Xbox One can hit 1080p/30fps, then the PS4 should hit a higher FPS or have better effects/textures' they moaned.

The point stands. 90% of people even semi-interested in AC:U don't give a shit whether or not the PS4 and XBO versions run the same. They only care if the version they get looks good and is fun.

Given watchdogs was 900p on PS4 why is everyone so certain that 1080p was easily achievable for what looks like a more demanding game running (based on NYC count) on a similar engine?

Kind of true.

We can expect that UbiSoft uses the same engine from Watch Dogs which means 900p on PS4

Also on the X1 Version there was still the 10% Kinect Reserve not available which is now there => so they got this version from 792p up to 900p

Maybe the CPU-statement is not completely wrong.
 
Fuck Microsoft, and Fuck Ubisoft, and SquareEnix, or any other company out there who is willing to let Microsoft pay them off to keep titles off the PS4, or to gimp PS4 games so they run just like the Xbone versions.

Crossing this game off my list on principle.

why is this a 30 page thread on 100ppp?

They purposely made the PC version of Watch Dogs look worse by turning off the E3 settings that they left in the game from the start.

Oh right, who cares about PC. Dumb down a Sony game? This is war motherfucker

There was an uproar, but it should also be pointed out that it was still up for debate.

In terms of PC anyway, even though there are some PC gamers that would be pissed about it, I don't think they are under any obligation to invest time and money into drastically increasing the overall quality and detail of the game. Just as long as it runs well and they give PC gamers the standard options.

In this case however, it seems like they have artificially lowered the IQ for the sake of parity. That is something different entirely.

I can't believe they openly admitted they are gimping a version for parity.

I'm going to guess that the guy who said that doesn't actually like that they're being told to do it and is hoping that the outcry will force his bosses to reconsider. I can't think of any other reason why they would outright say they were doing parity for the sake of parity.

People that bought a PS4 specifically because it is more powerful are feeling shafted, because it shows it doesn't matter.
 
I'm seeing a day one patch upping the resolution to 1080p in both versions and a PR note saying something along the lines "lol you guys, we were just fucking with ya, please love us".

Ubisoft " They don't want parity boss"
Boss. " Drop the PS4 to 720p, fuck em"

They should.
I hope this will stop the whiners.
I can't tell the difference between 1080 and 720 when sitting 10fts away from my TV anyway.
I can't wait to play Unity, 900 and 720 is an even meager difference if they do decide to drop it to that resolution.
Parity helps gamers experience the same thing...why don't you guys care about the working class? I can't afford a PC or a PS4 to experience the better performance on these multiplatorm games.

With all us pissed off PS4 owners canceling out it looks like a win/win for MS if they manage to sell more copies on the Xbone.
Click to expand...

how do they sell more copies? they'll remain the same and here's why the only party that benefits from this is MS.

- Ubisoft loses sales/trust from PS4 users
- Sony loses sales on PSN/Retail
- PS4 users get shafted from parity
- XB1 users get the same experience with no benefit anyway

+ MS gets to use this in it's resolution fight
 
This is some scary stuff for the future of video games.

Shame on you Ubisoft, You just lost a sale.

Everyone should just boycott this game, The media better make a big deal out of this!

The PS4 is cheaper than the XB1. I don't know what you're talking about.
 
Thatis some straight up BS right there.

Intentionally screwing over owners of one platform so MS doesn't feel butt hurt?

Truly despicable and odious action.

There's more to this story than meets the eye, but Ubisoft should've just let Digital Foundry/Assorted Pixel Counters break down the technical analysis so people could have hard facts instead of, what I believe, is a poorly worded explanation of what is going on technically.

To be fair, Destiny should have looked better or had a higher frame-rate if the X1 hit 1080/30.

I'm simply stating that these two scenarios aren't entirely similar.

  • Ubisoft is explicitly stating they are gimping the PS4 version (or in bizarre-o-world the X1 version, somehow, since they don't explicitly state which version is gimped for parity) for the sake of parity to avoid "debates and stuff."
  • Unity is a next-gen only game.


Destiny is guilty of neither of those.

Way too obvious
 
If people want to avoid parity, they should just invest in a gaming PC. It won't at all effect if I buy a game or not, that depends on the overall quality of the game.

That said, I'm sure most people would of been satisfied if the only difference was 1080p PS4 and 900p XB1. So I am a bit suprised to see Ubi do this, they have been buddy buddy with Sony in the past.
 
Holy shit on a stick Ubisoft.

I was undecided on which platform to buy Unity for but the decision is clear now. None.

You can't see the difference between xbone vs ps4 multi's, but you can spot the difference between ps3 and 360 immediately, this is how you quantify the differences "horrible differences". It is a fact that multiplats were generally within a couple of frames and much much less resolution differences last gen. It's one thing to like a platform, but it's also a good thing to main a fair and level head in these debates.

We had 7 years of an entire gen to see more then what has happened this year. I only had a PS3 last gen (never had an X360 for your surprise) and played Bayonetta like crazy, and it was much worse then any difference this gen.

Well, previews say graphics are a turd and similar to last gen AC games so the problem here must be the engine itself.Getting the resolution to 1080p would only make it a crispier turd.
