For what it's worth Unity wasn't playable at the recent Eurogamer Expo but AC Rogue was.

This also happened last year with Watch Dogs.... right before the game got hit with it's 6 month delay.
Unity was just played by journalists, also two week delay

They just had a preview event for the game like a week ago where it was playable, beyond that it was playable in other forms recently and at E3.
 

Wooooow epic bullshit.

Pontbriand goes on to say that he understands why someone might think that’s the case based on a recent interview, adding “I simply chose the wrong words when talking about the game’s resolution, and for that I’m sorry.”

No you fucking didn't. Who do you think you're fooling? Who the hell searches for words to describe an event happening and then falls on "We decided to lock them at the same specs to avoid all the debates and stuff'?" That's someone describing a precise accounting of internal discussions that went on, and he was not supposed to share that shit out loud so he got caught.

How fucking dumb does Ubisoft think gamers are? Profoundly, apparently. The whole post is them trying to convince us how beautiful the game is (which is not the goddamn point), and then them saying nonsense like this:

Which, of course, had some gamers wondering: If this is a truly new-gen game, why not deliver it in full 1080p on both consoles?

No, that is not what gamers were wondering you gargantuan fucking liars.
 
Dont believe a word they are saying. AC4 = 1080p on Ps4 and 900p on Xbox one. New game is larger in scale, more npc's etc still 900p on Xbox one but Ps4 cant handle 1080p. Whats the reason behind this? No downgrade on the Xbox one??? Sugar coat it as much as you want Ubisoft, you guys messed up.
 
What he meant was "I still can't admit to intentionally throttling the PS4, because that would be a breach of contract. After a month or so, we will quietly release a patch."
 
Wooooow epic bullshit.

Perfectly said.

This whole fallout is totally worth it just for Amir0x's salty responses alone.

I'm cracking up over here.

No, you fucking tool, that isn't what gamers are wondering. This line right here speaks volumes about how badly they've missed the point (or how blatant there are about dodging it).
 
Ubisoft knows very well that this isn't so much about 900p/1080p as it is about the fact that there will be parity between two consoles that aren't equally powerful.

It may very well be that this game is so chock-full with NPCs, effects and overall graphics goodness that it won't run at 1080p on Ps4. But parity between Ps4 and XboxOne? Thats the problem, Ubi.
Give us an explanation why there is parity when one console is more powerful than the other.
 
They are so full of shit, this is even worse because now they are lying about it where before they were honest about their bullshit parity lock down.

Hey Ubi, the hardware spec difference between PS4 and Xbone is huge, there is zero chance you are pushing both systems to the limit and arriving at the same resolution and performance on both.
 
Frankly if this is a continuing trend Sony needs to put pressure on Ubisoft.

They are the market leader, they carry the strongest arm in the industry throughout the world right now.

Sony has a very simple case they can make to Ubisoft. If you continue to take moneyhats from Microsoft that are or can be construed as payment to force a parity that should not exist, think about the long term consequences of alienating your brands from the largest user base on current gen consoles and its console maker.

I can not imagine in anyway how a few million dollars can justify the long term shitstorm this could create with Sony users and Sony itself.

As a former exclusive 360 owner I feel disgusted that I supported this company for so long.
 
If both versions of the game come out and look remarkably similar at 900p then we will have definitive proof that ubi not only failed at delivering what the ps4 is capable of, but they will also unofficially admit that they are fucking liars.


but im sure most here already know ubi and the mouth pieces they employ are full of shit

Should be on the top of every page. Nice of you to explain what you did NOT mean, how about explaining what you DID mean, Monsier Pontbriand?

Ubisoft stipulated that specs are not set in stone just yet. Both skus may run at 900p/capped at 30fps but quality may differ.

Kinect Secret sauce since the last AC released

This is what i'm expecting as well, as it's ALWAYS the case. No reason to not expect it to be the case here, regardless of marketing deals the ps4 version will play and look better.
 
Man if the parity clause reaching AAA publishers is true, I'm gonna lose all respect I had for Phil. That will leave no one at MS that I respect.

That's a safe bet. But I can understand why PS4 gamers are upset, Ubisoft's PR is dreadful.

This would be something they should mention in a statement.
"We have so many NPC, 1080p just didn't work, both console versions are 900p, there are other differences tho."

And everything would've been fine.

Lets be honest, this is mostly about Ps4 owners wanting a version superior to the XboxOne version.
Whether this superiority comes in form of framerate, resolution, NPC count or effects doesn't matter that much.

The PS4 is the more powerful machine and Ps4 owners want to see that reflected in games.

To me, "specs" is resolution and framerate and not actual graphical guts. I assume (perhaps wrongly) that both skus running at same res/fps does not mean one could not edge the other out in terms of shadows, AO, textures, LOD, particles etc..
 
The only salvation left for Ubi is if the Bone version really does run like shit at 20-25 FPS with reduced effects. Then we'll know there was a gun pointed to their heads to bring up the res to 900p instead of say, 792p.
