A lot of studios do that, regardless of generation. Hit performance targets and move on.

I didn't read the article but man that looks like a penis.
Fancy some spotted dick?
I'd say it's more of the equivalent of 2 siblings participating in a foot race and the parent makes the 40% faster kid run the same speed as its sibling so that the sibling stands a better chance of having as many fans as the faster kid.
I like this one
@assassinscreed @Ubisoft Should I do a worse job at work just to make my less capable co-worker feel better about himself? #PS4NoParity
When millions of dollars are involved, shady shit like this always comes up.

There certainly was a debate over Destiny.
Where do I tweet on it to post a comment?

Wut? Totally gorgeous in youtube videos? Maybe, but put that on a 1080p TV and native vs 900p is obvious.
Ah damn shots fired from Hip Hop Gamer

and this thread has completed an entire lap.
Indeed they do. But that begs the question why 900p (an uncommon resolution on PS4) was the target to begin with.

instead of making the best game you can, you intentionally dumb it down.. i knew Ubisoft was garbage but this is just terrible.

Yeah their response to you pretty much confirms what we are all thinking. They 100% deliberately dodged the question.
How anyone at this point can think Unity cant be 1080p on PS4 is beyond me.

Most people aren't even upset with 900p 30fps. They're upset that Ubi forced parity between the PS4 and Xbox One version. Purposely limiting the full capabilities for the PS4 isn't cool.
Hiphop Gamer and "shots fired" don't go together very well.

everyone who buys ubisoft and ea's games deserves every little bit of bullshit they pull to fuck over consumers. they already capped the pc port of watch dogs a lot more to begin with. this won't be the last time they do it either (though it's likely the last they admit)
but keep giving them your money. you never had a choice after all
My concern is more with the console's CPU bottlenecking development already (if true), if the PS4/Xbone had a more powerful CPU, we might've seen some real leaps forward in video game AI this gen.

Well, it certainly didn't achieve almost 90 pages in less than a day!
I was happy for that news though. This? This is just plain bad.

Honest question. If a game is the same framerate on both consoles and everything else (i.e. effects, AA, etc.) is exactly the same and the XB1 version is 900p; shouldn't it for the most part always be able to achieve 1080p on PS4 given those conditions and the power gap?
Face it Tiger..

Esco pls
What is amazing is that Ubi would have know this would cause a backlash, and yet they 'announce' it with a casual comment that they're gimping the PS4 version to avoid debates about differences.
You'd have though this would have been handled with PR spinning from the get go, rather than having to now back track and imply that their senior developer doesn't know what he's talking about.
Unless of course that Bruno St-André fucked up, and said something he wasn't meant to. There are plenty of other examples where senior employees have said something that goes against a PR narrative and paid a price for it.

Uncommon, sure, but it has happened. Most recent that I can remember is Watch Dogs... another UBI game.
I expect more gaming journalists will be mocking this, the same way they mocked resolutiongate. Amazing how much this industry shits on the most diehard of fans.
A non-denial denial is what it is. lol
Yeah I admittedly made that post while leaving work, not putting much thought behind it. On the way home I realized that them being CPU bound would limit the frame rate but shouldn't effect the resolution much. If they were bandwidth or GPU bound, they'd have a better excuse for the resolution.

he spelled bought wrong. must have been in a rush to post this.
nailed it.
talk about a pile of bullshit on a silver platter. these guys should run for congress, they already know how to play the game.

Well, to be honest, it's kind of both.
If you own a PS4, why must you (1) put up with Ubi's bullshit practice and (2) play a game that doesn't look as good as it could/should/would on your platform of choice because of PARITY?

Sony needs to take a page from Microsoft's playbook and start pressuring publishers to take full advantage of the Ps4's hardware. I think it is lame to ever put such pressure on any developer, but Sony should not bring a knife to a gun fight. They made a better machine and they shouldn't allow Microsoft to try and rob them of that advantage through bullshittery like this.
If this game is 900p on the PS4, it better have the cleanest AA possible with the remaining overhead, and a decent level of AF and overall effects, like higher quality motion blur, high res textures, greater draw distance etc. If they've limited the PS4 version to the same as the Xbox One's 900p, they need to get rid of the high level of aliasing currently visible in all the Xbox One footage of gameplay. Still annoyed it's not going to be 1080p due to intentional limitation though. Looks like exclusives are going to be the far better deal this gen.
I couldn't care less about those people, some act like their word is law or something. I barely read reviews anymore, the occasional meltdown threads are pretty fun though.

Yeah lol how about no. Probably just going to wait this one out until it's in the bargain bins.
At least both version were 1080p so it was a less 'intense' debate.
I mean look at this tread going and the Twitter movement.
0:24 on that though...hahahahahahahhaa

Oh wow, totally forgot about this. Makes the whole thing seem a whole lot worse.
I think with Destiny, the impact was lessened some what due to the Alpha/Beta. I played them, and was happy with the performance of the game. 1080p with a solid frame rate and pretty art. It was only much later that the Xbone version was confirmed to have parity.
With AC:U, everyone will go into it knowing that PS4 version is much worse than it should be.

I get that and understand that. But the guy I quoted said that he basically is entitled to all PS4 games to be 1080p because he spent $449 CA for it.
I have both systems and a very high end PC that I use at 4k, so believe me, I wish every game on every system would be 1080p. But realistically, there are going to be some games that are not.
Personally, I think the Xbox One and to a lesser degree the PS4 are under powered systems. I think the both should of been more powerful and be able to do more than what they currently showing. The "jump" was just not that substantial as they have in the past.
