Hahahah. Oh boy...
Yes but your implication fell short inside a thread where the game in question is in fact coming to PC... And i'd say few, not most, games don't make it to PC. The reverse is more true.

No, my point still stands. Your getting the game, be happy you even get to play it. Ubisoft never told you to spend some ridiculous amount of money to build the ultimate PC capable of so much, you did. If they want the ge to run 30fps then that's what it's gonna run. There is no technical reason for it to run any less on a PC, unless of course they really want it that way.
Your right though, things have changed on the PC front, games generally do come to PC now as opposed to not, I was wrong in saying otherwise. It doesn't matter though, most will be based on console versions because that's where they make their money.
True, console market is where the money is made. To make sure I never miss out, it's why I bought a PS4!
But the 'be happy you get to play it' mentality basically says to me you're happy to be shortchanged and told what to like. Black Flag was 1080/60fps on PC, and I can't think of any other reason than console gimping that it shouldn't be the same for Unity (unless this time round there's some link between animations and frames... which I doubt)
Hopefully some savvy modder will unlock the framerate to an acceptable level, and Ubi won't be cunts about it.
Yes, Microsoft spent actual money on making sure the PS4 version would look no better than the Xbone version, for the 1% of AC fans that would actually buy a PS4 just for a slightly better looking AC.
INFOWARS. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

But, the parity......
Was he noted to be stuttering when he said those words. Hell no. He actually believed that the decision was so brilliant that no debates would take place. Just another idiot who is willingly obtuse.
OH? So now it's also the GPU! Wow, this guy just keeps slipping all over the place. Tell me again how the tech penalizes the PS4 just as much as the X1?
Nice of them to set up this strawman. Secondly, this quote indicates that they're going to lower the resolution even further if need be.
So why is it that this scenario had no parity issue?
Does this mean the PC will also be locked at 900p/30fps? Because that's exactly what I got out of of this statement. Come on Ubisoft, keep going. I wanna see how deep the rabbit hole goes before the release date.

Someone in the driveclub server issue thread stated that they thought that this and the driveclub server issues=moneyhatting.
You're not thinking big picture here. The resolution debate between PS4 and Xbox One has been percolating since the consoles launched, with an underlying and potentially damaging theme for Microsoft: the PS4 is more powerful and delivers superior third party games.
If Microsoft did strike up a deal, or otherwise offer Ubisoft some incentive toward parity, it would have been in an effort to curb this trend going forward, and this likely wouldn't have been the only instance of it occurring.
They wouldn't be considering the minuscule number of gamers that have a PS4 and Xbox One today or that would be purchasing a PS4 solely for AC:U. They'd be making a concerted effort, of likely many, to abate a constant trend of appearing less powerful in order to persuade purchasers for the future and buck the current stigma against the Xbox One.
This is why it's vital for gamers to speak up now, hell, even if Microsoft legitimately had nothing to do with it, to ensure these companies understand that consumers won't tolerate even a whiff of such anti-consumer practice.
"And we would never do anything to intentionally diminish anything weve produced or developed."
Watch Dogs literally came out a few months ago. That short term memory loss.
I also read somewhere that the PS4/XBone versions of Far Cry 4 will look exactly like the PC. This only leads to one conclusion: PC version got gimped.

Not only that but this is the first time I've seen the weaker console with less sales hold back the stronger console with much higher sales. It's one thing if it's a PS2 scenario where the weaker console has more customers but this is a very dangerous precedent.

PC is the lead platform for FC4. And it will have options for higher resolution, framerate, and exclusive tech options for nvidia. So no, the PC version didn't get gimped.

For those interested, I planned on buying a PS4 for AC Unity. With this info, I'm no longer interested in the game but I plan on getting the system for the other games that are at parity with other PS4 games. I'd say I'd buy used but that's relying on others buying the game. Fuck off, Ubisoft.
edit: conspiracy talk... what if Ubi gets a bigger cut if the xbone version sells more...

Your gonna last long here. When PC gamers defend the master race talk they always say its a joke started by Yatzee. I'm thinking a few people didn't get the memo about the joke part.

Do you honestly believe major AAA gaming would be anywhere as big as it is today without the "gimped consoles" propping up the current model?
I'm just going by what I read. I'm assuming that it will have an extensive options menu similar to FC3.
So apparently I shouldn't have said 'peasant'
Doesn't mean the rest of that post has no bearing.
The guy still doesn't get it..

People have stated over and over how the gpu is what would hinder the resolution and not the cpu.
The only instance I could think of that counter this is if they are only able to update npc logic within time of 30 fps, while 60 (or around there) fps was too fast for the cpu to keep up with updating the npc logic ai. There was a similar issue with Dead Rising, which is why they locked it at 30 fps on PC.
Depending upon how much effort they put into the PC version, it could very well be locked at 30fps because of how they have coded the AI and it's dependency on cpu timing.

The company that owns the console selling best has the least money though. That makes things weird this gen.
Devs might make more money in theory on the bigger platform but they could also cash in on guaranteed money from special deals with the other.
You do realize that the image distortion from 900p on consoles comes from being upscaled from a non native resolution resulting in artificially duplicated pixels right? If you run 900p on a 1600x900 monitor it wouldn't be upscaled (because 900p = 1600x900) therefore it wouldn't look blurrier especially on a screen with higher pixel density. The problem is the scaling not the resolution. So... yea. You might want to rethink your whole "look very soft and fuzzy" bit or you know get your eyes checked.
No actually lower pixel density makes non native upscaling even easier to see... Seriously do you guys just have no idea how resolution, displays and pixel density work? Perhaps you should refrain from formulating Internet comments about them until you can grasp how they work. Otherwise it's just ignorant FUD.

has there ever been ANY proof that reviewers are paid off by sony/microsoft/nintendo to give their games or competitors' games good/bad reviews??
This is what really confuses me. Why are they doing it this generation, but not last generation? Back when I was a PS3 gamer I was a bit jealous of the 360 having lots of games with better textures, lighting, resolution etc.

While I do not agree with this I do find it interesting that everything that seems to be tied closely to the PS4 receives a ton of scrutiny and almost seems to get judged by what reviewers wished instead of what is. Destiny tied closely to the PS4 critically torn apart and still the number one game on my friends list also up to OT 7 I believe which is nuts.
Drive Club ... an absolutely amazing game breathtaking and fun as all hell. People are honestly criticizing this game for being a driving game and not open world? where was that criticism for other racing games?
It seems like TLOUR got a pass because everyone already knew the game was great so being negative about it would have been beyond suspect.
This is also what bothers me, unless money has been changing hands it makes no sense.
Whoa there! The Assassin's Creed movie is being made from the ground up with high definition in mind, and that's why we're working hard to release the same 2GB iTunes encode across all high definition platforms, Blu-ray included!
Where have you read that ?
Disgusting. Utterly Disgusting

Why in the world would they focus development around high end PCs? Do you know what fraction of the gaming community would be able to run that?

Sony don't have parity clauses. MS do.
Dude, everyone knows what you're up to & are not falling for your tricks here.
It's ironic that you say that I'm going off-topic when you're bringing up some random subject that has nothing to do with this thread. If someone haven't stated shit like, "PC gaming is better than console gaming," I wouldn't be posting it. It's not about "saving face" here.
Plus the only reason I keep responding to you, is because you keep responding to me.
Microsoft's going to have a much harder time in a year or two from now when future 3rd party games starts getting more demanding on the hardwares due to the fact that future 3rd party games will be running off of newer engines. The differences are definitely going to start showing.

For the framerate?
Have you seen the graphics in this game? 1080p60 was never feasible, on either console. It was part of the marketing cycle for them to say it was "the goal". Shit, they should have aimed higher... 4K120 would be nice.
I dislike Ubisoft more for putting that figure out there so far before launch without showing any 1080p OR 60fps footage from either console, than I do for Paritygate.

Actually the e3 demo went up to as high as 46 fps at some points. But it was running on pc with similar specs to xb1. So they probably were aiming for it at some point or had an unlocked framerate and then had to tone it down to keep the graphical fidelity and npcs.
The only platform where you can expect 60+ fps from games like this now and in the future is PC with modern midrange or better hardware.

Well, today's the 11th. The game is 30 days out. I imagine this topic will come up again pretty fierce once the launch happens.

I'm so waiting for Ubi to announce a patch for 1080p. I talked some of my friends today about of buying it because of this parity shit. We have to stand together as gamers so no one else thinks this is acceptable.
