Ubisoft issues totally convincing response to Assassin's Creed Unity's resolution
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
My guess is that if you liked the other AC games this is exactly the same thing again.
Well nothing they say will change the fact that one console can do more than the other, and if they're the same on each system, then one system is not being pushed
All the statements in the world can't change that, they won't ever be able to say anything that will make everyone say "fair enough"
It's not even a "console wars" issue, apparently GTA5 ran a little better on PS3 than on 360, and no one had any issues with that, because the PS3 is a slightly more powerful console, but if Rockstar said they held stuff back so they'd be the game, people would be annoyed
PC gamers get annoyed when PC versions of console games are locked at 30fps etc, because they brought tech than can run it a lot better than that, this is exactly the same thing, PS4 owners don't want an inferior product because of a system they don't own

A large pile of money with many beautiful women?
They think their customers are idiots. There's pretty much no debating it now.
UBI must be freaking out right now over potential lost PS4 sales. When accounting is doing the books for next gen software sales I'm sure a bulk of them are projected for PS4.
I don't think resolution-gate will end up having a huge impact on sales but UBI can't stop talking and digging holes. So much for not wanting any controversy.

Man, I'm getting super anxious now whenever MS gets into co-marketing deals :/
FFS, I did not anticipate this whatsoever when this gen started...
I already cancelled my june preorder and I won't buy AC:U unless they release a fully optimized PS4 version. Why should I play a game which is ignoring better and more capable hardware for the sake of parity? Their previous statement was very clear and so is my opinion of the game.
Proof. Everything is in germanese.
Perfect. That's the best response a consumer can give a company that disrespects its fans like Ubi does.

I wonder if Videogamer is going to get blacklisted now.
Remember when 1up got cut off from Ubi because they said AC1 was the repetitive POS that even they admitted it was by the time AC2 came around?

If the game has the exact same graphics on both consoles, then they are full of shit. Simple as that. Because one console is considerably more powerful than the other.

I'm not jumping on the pre order canceled thing personally. I'm a huge fan of the franchise and Unity does look awesome.
But I want Ubi to stop with the bull shit. Be honest are you going to use the extra power in the PS4 or are you going to just let that power sit. Its simple. Stop dodging the question and just be honest.

Truth be told, and I am speculating here at best, it will not only grow but thrive in the absence of hard hitting journalism. And let's be abso-fucking-lutely honest- Most journalists out of major sites like IGN, GT, GS etc are pretty darn clueless tech-wise and have often been seen to revel in their ignorance.
The first major title (and I don't care if rustle some jimmies) whose developer may choose parity because they are in good standing with MS and their affection primarily lies w/ PC, is The Witcher 3.
Moving forth, much like all major changes which were thought to be abhorrent at one time, were only accepted as it "trickled" down into the gaming culture- micro-transactions, paid DLCs on the disc, season pass, locking online account depriving users of games they already paid for, etc, this one perhaps will sink in as well. It's up to Sony's first parties to deliver on the technical front now.
Ubisoft, please for the love that is all holy, do us all a favor and just...

yeah but that game had big differences between the versions
They easily could have shown a 5 minute video on a real PS4 saying "here's the unused effects working as is on the PS4, we removed them because they look pretty but have major usability issues and blah blah blah", instead they damage controlled.
Humor me - Put a price/developer time on what the effects would would have cost on average to implement/test if they were deemed required by Ubisoft.

But, how does that answer for the difference between the systems?
Does the PS4 version have more Npc? a more poblated Paris?

This actually really helps my wallet. Shadow of mordor it is then.
Between this and the tomb raider crap..I can't take developers/publishers talking to me like I'm an idiot. It makes other developers look so enticing sometimes.

I've heard great things about it.
I'll buy Unity used if this is the road Ubisoft is going to take.

Bullshit. Let's not take quotes out of context. They were solely referring to gameplay in that article. And in that regard, yes, the game is the same all across the board, but it's a different story when it comes to performance.
The PS4 version might be 900 but with a lot more bells and whistles than the Xbone version, and a much more stable frame rate
But Ubi might be in the awful position of not being able to say that because of a marketing deal with MS, so they have to stick with the "parity" thing even though they're not at all

Total bullshit ubisoft, it was quite clear what you said in the original statement, you are holding back the ps4 version because you don't want debates about the differences between xbone and ps4's versions. You are just insulting us now you bastards with your damage control, I'm finished with you for the foreseeable future.

Turning the effects on is not just flipping a switch either. You're oversimplifying how applying effects and running them work.
To be honest that part in bold is so spot-on that every current and new thread on this subject should have it quoted on the first post.
Put a price on the cost of implementing and testing the effects. Doesn't have to be exact, just a rough number.

B1G_A1AN took that quote completely out of context. That quote directly refers to gameplay. So either he is trying to get away with taking a quote out of context, or he didn't read the article he was presenting.

"We will piss on you and tell you it's raining."
"Sorry guys we can't make it 1080p because we needed more brainless AI walking the streets doing nothing and adding the square root of fuck all to the game. Luckily we added in some more tedious as hell collect quests and tower clearances for you to do"
Yes it is.
700 men developing and 7 years of building upon the game and SoM comes right out the gate and shows them how to do combat on their first attempt.

Playing Shadow of Mordor after playing Destiny is like seeing the sun after being trapped in a (loot) cave for a month.
+1 for accuracy.

This man speaks the TRUTH
And if you start to get bored with the opening area theres a 2nd open world section that is quite a bit different visually and beautiful. And its 1080p and open world.
Listen to this man.

Yes, this.
I want to see this quote on the back of Unity's box.
I've finished it already. Twice. Request memory wipe?
Thought I became too powerful by the first playthrough and I like being the underdog so I played the entire game with only the mandatory upgrades from the story missions. I recommend it - it's a good way to increase the difficulty that a lot of people have been complaining about.
