Lol for a forum that is so obsessed about framerate I'm surprised nobody tried out my suggestion.

I'll do another test in a few minutes, hopefully the game allows me to replay chapters from the menu.

I will definitely try that once I get back to it.

I do feel that this may be the case because the game was running smoothly yesterday when my ps4 was not connected to the internet. I am not sure though.

I hope they fix it if this is the case, with all the co-op missions and uplay rewards like outfits, I dont think the game was meant to be played offline.

My assassins creed digital copy still says it has 1 day to unlock (I got it off the american PSN store)

I need to re-download it don't I

Ma Gawd is this game Breathtakingly gorgeous ( X1 )dat sunset, crowd..whole atmosphere of the game is phenomenal.

 

[-Deimos]

Anyone still waiting for it to unlock on Origin? It's still grayed out for a friend of mine. Unlocked for me on Uplay right at midnight PST though.

Still waiting.

Same here. Checked the CCs, haven't been charged for them yet either. Just $1 authorization pending still.

Still locked for me and a friend.

Still waiting for POS Origin ;(

It's like TheKayle is back with slightly improved English.

 

[Blimblim]

Awesome. Are you going to have videos of all versions may I ask?

Xbox One and PC only, we didn't get the PS4 version. The Xbox One version was the first one to get the day 1 patch, so that's the reason why Ubisoft only sent that one.

 

[dreamlock]

Considering using VPN to unlock this on PC here in EU, though iirc it's against Steam ToS. Anyone else have experience doing this? I wouldn't buy the game over VPN only unlock it and afaik noone has ever been banned for this reason.

Holy shit. I forgot about him.

Cool, seems like Xbone and PS4 should be essentially the same anyway, aside from some performance differentials.

Any idea about the Spin to Win DLC?

Of all the weeks, three of them had guaranteed item wins for DLC.

I got two of them. I think I missed last week's belt.

I'm going to be upset if there's no way to get that...

 

[publicpwnerer]

I bought someones bunduru AC: Unity code on XB1, so unfortunately I'm forced to play on the 13th (AU).

Fuck all of you who are enjoying it at this very moment. I say that with love.

Socialism is but one step away from Communism in the mind and teachings of Karl Marx. Look it up.

Oh, to you and the others who took offence, I have nothing against France. It's just that you guys have a powerful centre left Socialist Party. And lol it isn't a theory, it was just my thought process leading me to link the concept of console parity to how socialists/communists think. The left. Trust me, we had closet socialists in power in Australia for 6 years and they racked up $20,000 debt for every man, woman and child in that time while openly bashing down the rich, business... basically those who finance the government and employ people who finance the government. Let's waste and make everyone poor and dependent on the government... even though the government is dependent on the people. That will keep us in power! Completely illogical.

Illogical too is having two identical games on two platforms where one is clearly superior in most respects and relatively equal in only one. Everyone loses. The only people who 'win' are those envious of the game on the superior platform. That is, Microsoft and some silly XBone only owners.

Socialism is politics of envy, console parity is business of envy. It isn't fair.

This parity debate is ridiculous. If ubisoft says both are the same on both consoles, why would they lie? Ps4 / X bone basically the same.the whole 60 Fps Is moot, these consoles can barely handle it.

Play the games/controller you like. Nobody cares what system you think is better. Fact is xb1 is much better, just calm down on the vitriol ps4 trolls. Take a breath, play sso and stop being such complainers. 99.9% of the gaming community doesn't see the hate and vitriol from the vocal 1% of the gaming community [you're bad we know]

If you want to be superior buy a 5k pc. If you want to play with friends go xb1, if you want to be an angry hermit go ps4 ... Most of us 99.9% could care less.

It's pretty sad that the vocal (whiny complainers) minority gets most of the press. Devs need to grow a pair and tell the trolls to eat dick.
My 2 cents

Well this thread sure took a strange turn.

It was when I read the bolded that I realized you can't be helped.

 

[DrBo42]

Why push the npc amount this high if THIS is what the end result is?

Apparently he also thinks that 99% of people own an xbone

[kubus]

Lol I made the exact same video. That area is a fine example of the horrible pop in this game suffers from [on consoles].

 

[Derp]

But seriously that is just horrible and immersion-breaking IMO.

What system is that on?

 

[DrBo42]

PS4.

I've VPN'd to unlock early on Steam dozens of times with no issue. Just don't VPN into a foreign country and use the Steam Store.

 

[Aeternus Malum]

Just played chapter one...I really wish they'd go back to the crusades

 

[ZeroX03]

This game needs to be more obvious with the optional challenges. It's really easy to miss them.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Any way to VPN and unlock this early on Uplay?

 

[dex3108]

Any thoughts on game itself? We already know that game has technical issues and it is annoying reading same things over and over again

 

[dreamlock]

ok thanks. I'll just vpn unlock it tonight then.

 

[Lucent]

Yeesh. Looks like a tech demo that never got finished. I really wish they would've realized quality>quantity. You can have a lot of NPCs. Just don't need THAT freak'n many. =/

I hope DF will not be kind to this game. Framerate issues and this amount of pop-in?

 

[dreamlock]

Man, that sucks. Here's hoping there's a way to edit the view distance on PC as that is clearly very immersion breaking.

 

[Hidden One]

Yeah the popins on this game is bad...Might skip the next Ass Creed. GTA V I need you in my life.

 

[idonteven]

these loading times are taking forever

 

[valkyre]

What amazes me is their arrogance and their nerve, to go out and gloat about their 10,000 NPCs when the effect in game is pretty fucking pathetic and fugly...

Oh look 10,000 NPCs, look at the amazing tech of constantly poping hundreds of characters 10 feet away from you... look at how immersive this is....

/golfclap

 

[Blue Ninja]

I'll keep playing them if I can continue getting them for relatively cheap. That said, having the game misunderstand where I wanted to free-run in the first minutes of the game wasn't exactly confidence-inspiring.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Man, that sucks. Here's hoping there's a way to edit the view distance on PC as that is clearly very immersion breaking.

It just unpacked for me on Steam. I'll check it out.

Be back in a bit.

I have a i74770k@4/GTX 780/8gb ram. Here's hoping.

 

[Bl@de]

Why push the npc amount this high if THIS is what the end result is?

Yeah ... I'm going to wait a couple months before I get this ... Watch Dogs was already a mess. This looks terrible.

 

[themidnightsun156]

can anyone confirm if you can pick up bodies in this game like you could in past asscreed game?

 

[Ursiform]

Why push the npc amount this high if THIS is what the end result is?

...oh wait I see it now.

 

[valkyre]

I'll be amazed if the pop in is just as bad on PC... well... not really... its Ubi we are talking about...

 

[Alienous]

Why can't they implement a fade into higher quality models and shadows? That's a lot less jarring than a pop.

...oh wait I see it now.

haha, lol7.

 

[DrBo42]

...oh wait I see it now.

Don't take the shitty PS4 recording/upload to Facebook as any indication of the visual quality. Game looks rather beautiful at times. But the performance and pop-in...that's another story.

 

[idonteven]

I need to re-download it don't I

it worked for me tho :/

go to us account then switch to eu then start the game really fast so it still thinks you are on the us account

 

[Jhn]

Those pops are fucking ridiculous. They're not even replacing the assets with lower-poly versions of themselves, they're replacing them with completely different people. Instancing I guess, but Jesus.

 

[idonteven]

think i just got like 20 fps for like 20 sec

 

[Lucent]

I hope DF will not be kind to this game. Framerate issues and this amount of pop-in?

Yeah. Ubisoft needs to realize what a mistake they've made and know they can't just get away with it. Seriously, just somehow update it to have less NPCs or something. Nobody is going to be upset if you go down from like 10k NPCs to 5k or something. You can still have a lot of NPCs. As it is now, it's having the opposite effect of what they were aiming for. That video was bad. NPCs randomly being generated as you're standing next to them, only like 4 colors and they're all looking exactly the same. I't just not working, Ubi.

 

[valkyre]

Those pops are fucking ridiculous. They're not even replacing the assets with lower-poly versions of themselves, they're replacing them with completely different people. Instancing I guess, but Jesus.

Ηow these bastards have the nerve to even talk about their amazing NPC tech is BEYOND ME really....or how they "MAXED OUT EVERY OUNCE" of the new consoles.... Jesus, the hate is flowing strong within me...hopefully it will make me powerful...
