I may be wrong, but if a game is exactly the same with no added features (better shadows, AA, etc) on either console over another and both are 900p 30fps, shouldn't the PS4 almost always be able to do 1080p given those circumstances and the power gap?

 

[Always-honest]

Fine. Just give the PS4 version PERFECT antialiassing.

 

[orochi91]

I'm now convinced more than ever that MS has a hand in this.

Fuck off, Ubi.

 

[SRTtoZ]

At the end of the day, you can't confuse "We created parity to not have debates" with "I mispoke or used the wrong words". Lies.

 

[Dead_Pixel]

TL;DR it's still 900p on both consoles.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Why did they felt the need to put out a response with it's to not answer the question? They shoud have shut up.

 

[Nokterian]

I feel like that's the wrong gif for this situation.

Hmm no? That's ubi trying to drink it but that doesn't work out.

Yes. Ubiguy completely ignores that.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

I'll be honest I was very hyped for Unity. But now I just have a sour taste in my mouth after all this For shame, Ubisoft.

 

[Zombie James]

Keep fighting the fight, Andrew.

 

[theWB27]

They were doing everything right uptill now. It's sad they don't understand that the res isn't the issue. It's both systems running the same effects.

 

[Majmun]

This tragic exposure

 

[John Bender]

Sorry, but if you can achieve 900p on the Xbone, you can achieve 1080p on the PS4. And I stand by it. This is BS!

 

[Guymelef]

Let’s be clear up front: Ubisoft does not constrain its games. We would not limit a game’s resolution.

“See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody’s couch like it’s something to do? Come on. I had a little more sense than that. [short pause] Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie’s couch.”

What it basically reminds me of.

 

[legacyzero]

Dont you DARE do this shit to Far cry.

 

[simplythebest]

This whole debacle

 

[NickFire]

"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?"


Well sure, I have no doubt a couple people who also still believe in the power of the "cloud" to improve graphics are wondering this. But the rest of the world is wondering why are they both 900p to avoid debates and stuff? Or, in other words, why is it not 1080p on PS4?

Not why isn't it 1080p on Xbox One? Not why not on both?

WHY NOT 1080P on PS4?

 

[Warablo]

If there were exclusive graphic settings on the PS4 and such, I doubt they would want to talk about it. Stop with these threads and just wait for Digital Foundry. It comes off as entitled when were looking for exclusive PS4 settings.

 

[Ken Masters]

Fine. Just give the PS4 version PERFECT antialiassing.

If it's not on both it's not happening

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

As of now, Assassin’s Creed Unity is locked at 900p

Ubisoft stealth confirming that the PS4 will receive a 1080p patch.

This answer is ambiguous and just selling the game instead answering what happened with the gpu overhead. The Digital Foundry thread will make all things clear.

 

[bananafactory]

If everything said here is true then how in the fuck did he come up with that gold quote "to avoid debates and stuff". That gives it away right there. They can talk all they want about "trying to push it past 900p" in future but I guarantee that isn't going to happen.

 

[meanspartan]

Hey Ubisoft, answer this or stfu:

The Ps4's gpu is 50% more powerful than Xbox One's. Is that not enough to give us either 1080p30 or 900p60?

Because if it is (and it should be), you ARE holding back the ps4 version.

[KiefbladeMaster]

If there were exclusive graphic settings on the PS4 and such, I doubt they would want to talk about it. Stop with these threads and just wait for Digital Foundry. It comes off as entitled when were looking for exclusive PS4 settings.

Not necessarily, we just want the best version that our platform can offer.

That is strange.

"Watch Dogs PC Modders Find Hidden "E3" Settings, Improve Performance - Update"

You mean the effects that a lot of which weren't finished? Like dynamic headlight shadows and the weird lighting glitch on rain.

 

[VE3TRO]

Ubisoft threads are the best thing to happen to me in my entire life.

Better stories than their games.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Someone please make it stop!! D:

They're just making it worse and worse

 

[RyanPierre]

"Why is your game that's 900p on X1 not able to be 1080p on PS4?"

"Look! A squirrel! Right over there, in Paris! It ran right into that crowd of thousands!"

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Lol Phil just straight up trolling here.

 

[alr1ght]

haha

 

[Xando]

I feel like i'm in a bad PR loop.

 

[Figments]

Conspiracy theories, ahoy!

 

[Marcel]

Better stories than their games.

 

[Goon Boon]

You mean the effects that a lot of which weren't finished? Like dynamic headlight shadows and the weird lighting glitch on rain.

Yeah, the ones they didn't finish working on because they didn't want the PC version looking too good due to parity issues.

[benzy]

“Absolutely not,” Pontbriand says. “We’ve spent four years building the best game we could imagine. Why would we ever do anything to hold it back?”

I can think of a few reasons.

 

[meanspartan]

Keep fighting the fight, Andrew.

I lost it at beloved gaystation.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I feel like i'm in a bad PR loop.

It will get worse because they won't tell us what is really going on.

The only redemption now is sudoku or a 1080p PS4 version.

 

[UrbanRats]

The "it's for gameplay" excuse should have been their first statement. Even if it's probably bullshit atleast it's not the military grade uranium-enriched bullshit they started with.

Yep.
Just going with a simple "it's simply the compromise we're making to push out this and that" would've been hte best answer from the start, for both resolution and framerate.

Why do they like to complicate their lives with this shit, i don't know.

 

[NickFire]

Any moment now the Ubi blog will pull out the dreaded Chebacca defense.

 

[Serick]

I lost it at beloved gaystation.

Is that why I like my PS4 so much? *confused*

 

[Phamit]

So much text, no real answer


The answer would be easy "The PS4 won't have a better resolution, but (list of things that are improved because of the power advantage of the ps4 over the One)"

But we will see

 

[ypo]

We decided to lock them at the same specs to avoid all the debates and stuff.

Let see, "lock" "same specs" "avoid" "debates" so he "misspoke" 4 times in one sentence. Definitely believable.

 

[Kezen]

Yeah, the ones they didn't finish working on because they didn't want the PC version looking too good due to parity issues.

They failed pretty hard at maintaining parity between PC (max settings) and the other versions. The water alone is much more tessellated on PC.
Better water
Better LOD
Better reflections
Better shadows
1080p and above possible
30fps and above possible.

 

[AdanVC]

But the real question here is: The game will be fun to play???

 

[Marcel]

• Open mouth
• Change feet
• Text Crossing Eden for a favor
• ???
• Profit!

Fixed.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

but think of all those NPCs, guys!!!

 

[RedAssedApe]

I lost it at beloved gaystation.

to andrew all ps4s look like the rainbow one
