Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ubisoft: Far Cry 4 to look the same on consoles as PC Ultra

Well it just means they didn't bother optimizing PC version. Which will still look good enough and will lessen tensions of PC gamers towards console gamers. Everyone should make their games like this.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Love it! Stable framerate and great looking game on PS4 confirmed!


yea about that

"Though something of a cliché when dissecting the cause and effect of frame-rate drops, the Far Cry 4 engine's biggest stress points inevitably come out during heavy bursts of alpha effects and a mass of on-screen NPCs. Our lowest such recorded dip is during the co-op gyrocopter ride with Hurk, where we hit 20fps during a flyover of the encampment."

the game is coming out in 5 months. 


Yea but it's a Ubisoft game so it will probably look and run worse by then.

Looks like people are mad for some reason. It's probably going to be lower framerate or something. If the PC version HAS to be better looking than on consoles, just play it on a 4K monitor. Better than consoles confirmed.

If it looks the same as the E3 trailer it already looks great. I don't know if I'll get it, I don't have those powerful consoles or a decent PC.



Yep.

so you admit your entire point was based on assumptions an no factual data?

The bulk of Ubisofts sales across the board come from consoles no matter how you slice it. When you add up all of Ubisofts games on PC the disparity becomes greater. Add Assassins Creed, Far Cry, Watchdogs, Splinter Cell, Rayman and more and you'll realize exactly why Ubisoft might find it to be much better to have parity. Regardless of the matter PC is still the lead platform.


The bulk of their sales yes but they still do very well on PC considering how shitty most of their PC ports and UPlay is on PC.  However Assaassin's Creed IV and Watch Dogs (despite not enabling all the effects that were in the E3 2012 build and some pretty shoddy optimisation that caused stuttering that moders could kinda be fixed by modders, they still added TXAA support, better volumetric lighting, slightly better textures, HBAO+, better warter simulation, and offered higher quality shadows and reflections) both still had PC specific enhancements, despite that. Seems odd that one of their franchises that does piticularly well on PC and will likely do better on PC than the others is the one they are aparently going for parity with.

well factual data that the current build isn't smooth. And the last game in the franchise being extramly shitty on consoles (spent most of it's time at 22-26fps) so clearly the Far Cry team (or teams I guess there are probably at least 4) don't really care about the game being smooth on consoles lol. And of course Ubisoft are the kings of unrepresentetive E3 builds. All evidence points to the console versions of FC4 not being super smooth, but hey maybe they will surprise us. And it's always fun to go for a little dig at Ubisoft anyway.

No surprise, their PC ports have been crappy for years. I'm not willing to spend more than 5 Euros for their efforts.

Far Cry 3 was a crappy port?



Funny, when dev chose to gimp ps4 version for x1 version, peuple are like " the gap si closing !"

But i dont think Pc gamers can blame consoles, because without consoles to support thèse games, They wouldnt exist



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

AAA development costs are crippling on ps4 and xbox already. anyone who thinks any developer is going to give PC even more time and effort than the console version is kidding themselves. developers can't afford it and too many PC gamers don't pay for their games anyways.
