Assassin's Creed Unity is 900p/30fps on both PS4 & Xbox One 'to avoid all the debates and stuff'

So PS4 version intentionally held back?

Poor form Ubi.

Looks like it. They're basically saying they pushed the XB1 version to the highest quality they could in terms of framerate en resolution, and then decided to just use those for the PS4 version. This seems like a case of the XB1 holding back the PS4.

I'm starting to think that maybe there's something to the MS paying out third party devs at this poitns. Seemed like a stupid conspiracy but seriously, this is ridiculous. 

That's very unlikely, far more likely that Ubi just didn't want to add resources to make one version of the game better, it happens with PC games all the time when they aren't optimised for 4k etc, Ubi have a fair few games on their plate right now and they just picked putting resources into making sure all their games launch in a good timely manner and are playable.

Ye never know how this could end up, the 900p/30fps lock could end up being favourable to a non locked frame rate in the 45-60 region, at least now it's locked in and you know it shouldn't break from that.
