Funny third-parties didn't have a problem with making the 360 version of their game the better performing/looking one back when the PS3 was the harder system to develop for.

And, despite far more effort going into PS2 versions of multiplats the Xbox versions were almost always better. Power matters.
But it was ok because we didn't have DF telling us about it in detail, most people didn't have progressive scan TVs and most people can't the difference between frame rates to save their lives.

 

[legacyzero]

Holy shit, the #PS4NoParity hashtag is blowin up.

 

[hwy_61]

Fuck the pubs, the devs will get paid for their work either way..

Yes, bite the hand that feeds. Smart!

 

[Decepticon]

Omg who cares. Game are "dumb-downed" on consoles from PC nobody bats an eye.

 

[Delta Assault]

This all seems to have gone par-shaped for them...

It's Hindle. He just got to the thread so he will still have 8 more hours of ceaseless damage control until he can get home.

 

[Poimandres]

This is in line with what I heard a few weeks ago (MS moneyhat).

If Microsoft actually are pressuring developers to ensure "parity", it's not going to go over well. That's downright shady.

 

[BY2K]

Holy shit, the #PS4NoParity hashtag is blowin up.

Oh wow, it's actually turning into a thing!?

 

[Madridy]

Disgusting move by Ubisoft.

I hope this is the exception and not the rule for all upcoming Ubisoft games.

 

[Hindle]

Funny third-parties didn't have a problem with making the 360 version of their game the better performing/looking one back when the PS3 was the harder system to develop for.

The PS3 was a complete pain in the arse though, whilst the X1 is just graphically inferior isn't it? For business reasons, I expect both the PS4 and X1 to look very similar in terms of graphics and performance.

 

[impact]

No it wouldn't.

Everyone here saying oh, let the xbone get the inferior version, let the superior hardware have the better version, stop gimping your games because of an inferior console.

GAF was filled with outrage when the PS3 version of skyrim was widely inferior to the 360 one.

Are Xbone owners outraged by this parity?

No, you are wrong. GAF was filled with outrage when the PS3 version of Skyrim RAN AT ZERO FUCKING FPS.

 

[Sean*O]

Yes, buy preowned! Fuck developers and their families! Yay!

They got that MS money.

 

[munchie64]

SSSAAAKKKUUURRRRAAAIIII!

 

[Piggus]

Sorry if this is covered, but was there any truth to this CPU PS4 weakness thing being thrown around?

No. Multiple benchmarks and one of Gaf's own resident insiders/developers already confirmed that the PS4 has more CPU power available to games. But what exactly that means is unknown as far as I know. We don't know if that means there's an extra core available to devs on PS4 or if the clock speed is higher.

 

[crazyrabbits]

I should send my resume in to Ubisoft for their PR department. I'm looking for work - I could do a better job than those fools.

 

[Hyunashi]

Despite the PS4 being more powerful, I always had my doubts that the 3rd party's would really make use of it. I expect all ports to look pretty much identical.

Yea just like the 360-PS3 generation right?
I dont expect parity.

 

[Loudninja]

No, you are wrong. GAF was filled with outrage when the PS3 version of Skyrim RAN AT ZERO FUCKING FPS.

Right that was truly unacceptable.

 

[Josam27o7]

Ubi what's wrong with you now?

 

[hwy_61]

No, you are wrong. GAF was filled with outrage when the PS3 version of Skyrim RAN AT ZERO FUCKING FPS.

Never forget.

 

[DonMigs85]

With nearly double the pixel fill there's no reason the PS4 version can't run at 1080p. Hell they could even devote 384 ALUs to general purpose compute if they cared enough.

 

[orochi91]

Yes, buy preowned! Fuck developers and their families! Yay!

So?

Are consumers a charity basket to you? Forced parity and yet you want to reward that bullshit?

I should send my resume in to Ubisoft for their PR department. I'm looking for work - I could do a better job than those fools.

hwy_1 is already applying it seems.

 

[Chabbles]

Yes, bite the hand that feeds. Smart!

What goes around... ubi does it to PS4 owners ?, do it right back

 

[Chobel]

Despite the PS4 being more powerful, I always had my doubts that the 3rd party's would really make use of it. I expect all ports to look pretty much identical.

Yeah, sure man.

 

[Hindle]

It's Hindle. He just got to the thread so he will still have 8 more hours of ceaseless damage control until he can get home.

I've no real interest in graphics or performance either way. But Ubisoft are a business, it's in their interest to treat both consoles equally.

That being said, I wouldn't be suprised if this is part of a marketing deal between MS and Ubi.

 

[hateradio]

Let's boycott this game to avoid console war dialog, too.

Holy shit, the #PS4NoParity hashtag is blowin up.

Angry nerds, assemble!

 

[funkystudent]

Yes, bite the hand that feeds. Smart!

Well that is pretty much what ubi is doing here. Biting the hand that feeds them.

Hard to feel sorry for them.

 

[acklame]

Preorder canceled

 

[Returners]

Oh come on, when you see AC:Unity on Xbox's stage this year at E3, you know something's up.

lol.

 

[dmr87]

Holy shit, the #PS4NoParity hashtag is blowin up.

PS4NoDRM, round two.

 

[teiresias]

Is Carn82 a vetted insider since he was saying he heard this was an MS moneyhat? I can't keep up with the list of "approved" insider posters.

In any case, that Ubisoft statement is a laughable piece of PR BS if I've ever read one.

 

[Dawnbuster]

Oh wow, it's actually turning into a thing!?

https://www.hashtags.org/analytics/ps4noparity/

I dunno, seems like it's dying pretty fast.

The vast, vast majority of the people who will buy AC:U will probably never even hear about this.

 

[TAJ]

No, you are wrong. GAF was filled with outrage when the PS3 version of Skyrim RAN AT ZERO FUCKING FPS.

Or 1fp5s, however you want to look at it. Sort of like when vehicles get less than one mile per gallon.

 

[alr1ght]

lol, somebody even made a French version.

 

[serversurfer]

FFS, It's not about the 1080p resolution, it's about Ubi gimping PS4 version just so that some Xbox fans don't get mad Microsoft can continue to sell hardware.

Fixed.

 

[Ingueferroque]

No it wouldn't.

Everyone here saying oh, let the xbone get the inferior version, let the superior hardware have the better version, stop gimping your games because of an inferior console.

GAF was filled with outrage when the PS3 version of skyrim was widely inferior to the 360 one.

Are Xbone owners outraged by this parity?

I meant to say that if the Xbox One had more powerful specs than PS4, XB1 owners would be just as outraged if their version of the game was intentionally gimped.

 

[peanuthead]

Isn't there "parity" between PS4 and XboxOne on Destiny? Why isn't there any controversy there?

 

[Quadraphonic]

I wonder....

Sony, as a publisher, actually has a lot of pull in this.

They could play hardball, and if they feel Ubisoft is lying could threaten to pull the game.

[hwy_61]

So?

Are consumers a charity basket to you? Forced parity and yet you want to reward that bullshit?

I'm rewarding a team for making a game that will be fun. That's all I give a shit about really. I'd be more pissed if ACU wasn't fun, than what fuckin resolution it runs at.

And I'll be getting it for PS4 for the record.

 

[Ateron]

They've backed themselves into a corner with this idiotic quote. Even if a 1080p patch is possible after launch, releasing it would just confirm that they are full of shit and were throwing dust in our faces and it would make them look even worse.

 

[Kagari]

I take it you missed that thread...

 

[boredandlazy]

Apparently not. Because resolution doesn't matter... Or something...

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Right on que.

Ign doing damage control as well, jesus.

 

[EternalTruth]

Despite the PS4 being more powerful, I always had my doubts that the 3rd party's would really make use of it. I expect all ports to look pretty much identical.

Yup just look at the EA sports titles almost identical, PS4 version is gimped.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Right on que.

Ign doing damage control as well, jesus.

Why do they do this? It just makes them seem more like shills.

 

[Kagari]

Yup just look at the EA sports titles almost identical, PS4 version is gimped.

After last generation did anyone expect EA Sports games to be anything special though? They still look horrible.

 

[meanspartan]

I wonder....

Sony, as a publisher, actually has a lot of pull in this.

They could play hardball, and if they feel Ubisoft is lying could threaten to pull the game.

I said earlier that it is a shame developers should ever be pressured, but that Sony would be foolish to bring a knife to a gunfight.

They should start pressuring publishers to take full advantage of the Ps4's large power differences over Xbox One.

 

[Anfang]

Yup just look at the EA sports titles almost identical, PS4 version is gimped.

I cant speak for the other sports, but they gimped NHL 15 on both consoles pretty hard lol.

 

[mdubs]

Hilarious, Microsoft would be cheering for a free exclusive if that were to happen.

 

[sjay1994]

No, you are wrong. GAF was filled with outrage when the PS3 version of Skyrim RAN AT ZERO FUCKING FPS.

Yeah, I was outraged to when I bought a game for the same price, the same name, and was inferior to another console that was more expensive than the competition.

This whole, oh fuck the xbone market is ridiculous. Theybought a "next-gen" console as well, they paid 100 extra for a god damn kinect, and fuck em because "they bought the inferior one?"

Honestly, I want to know. Are there any xbone owner actually outraged by this news?

Also, I need to ask. Did people really, really think unity was going to be 1080p 60FPS?

Really?

Have you people actually looked at the footage released today instead of complaining about P and FPS? The game is fucking chugging in the ubisoft produced B-roll.Every demo is filled with screen tearing and popin.

This game has WAY more technical problems than 900p and 30FPS.
