Gimped PC version? Pass. |
LOL yeah..sure. Pass on a great game because it is at parity with console versions? How shallow. I am sure more gameplay will further entice you to invest.

Nope. I don't have to latch onto every game that's launched, like a heroin addict, just 'cause. I have vast options in that regard. I will not invest in any IP that does this. It's not shallow to expect standards in gaming to rise, as new hardware/resources become available. And when devs outright admit to such tactics, it makes it easier for me to do something else.
I may end up getting it, months/years after release after the modders have gotten their hands on it and unfucked whatever bullshit Ubisoft has done to the game though, but only on a sale, when it's ridiculously inexpensive. Or I may just borrow it from someone, just to ensure they get as little as possible for it. Or hell, I could even wait until the day I upgrade my GPU, I got a copy of Far Cry 3 included w/ the last one :)

Far Cry's standards have risen. There would have been no difference but for light and shadowing improvements and slightly better graphics, but if Ubisoft says the game is playing on par with ultra on consoles that a testament to the power behind the consoles. Most PC gamers wont even be able to enjoy ultra settings, but only a select few will. Far Cry 3 set the bar and I bet four will follow through. The gameplay is what matters and luckily for us console gamers we finally get a game on par with you guys, especially when we are where the bulk of the sales are coming from. PC gamers have a high level of expectation, but very little that is exclusive to use the power that you guys posess. When squeeze every bit of juice out of consoles people marvel.Why might you ask? Limit the tech and increase the goal to work itself around hardware and you'll see something you havent out of consoles. Far Cry 4 might just blow us all away and no one would've been the wiser because PC's just have to be that superior.

If there is parity between them, it's not going to be because of the power prowess of the consoles, it will be because the development on the PC is borked. I'm not saying it's not going to looks good, but the topic of this is it will look the same on consoles as PC on ultra settings. If that is the case it's going to be a similar situation as with Watch Dogs on PC. Gameplay is an entirely different topic. But as the gameplay for all of them will be the same it's quite moot.

PC chips come and go, but the games vary greatly in quality because of the lack of unity and limited budgets of teams who focus solely on that hardware. Wherever the return is greatest one can take the most risk.

Exactly. "it's not going to be because of the power prowess of the consoles, it will be because the development on the PC is borked"
|
Question incase I am missing something. Does how high is ultra on PC?
|
I don't understand the question. "Does how high is ultra on PC?" Is it supposed to be "Just how high is ultra on PC?"
If that is the question, it's a hard one to answer as there is a variation between engines and of the when the games are relased. Generally with a new game, especially when games using the Cryengine are concerined (all it's iterations so far anyway), these engines can nearly max out the graphic and processing capabilities of very high end PC's at the time of release.
