Yeah, from what I hear AC Unity still isn't fixed properly even after 4 patches, the framerate is still pretty low and there are still some bugs, so I'd wait a bit longer before I played it. I'm waiting until late January or early February before I rent it personally. 

Nadolig Llawen :)

feliz natal :P

Digital Foundry actually just posted a new video where they tested the game after the latest patch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIDuHISn7wU

Looks like it's 30 fps some of the time, but in sections with big crowds it still drops into the mid-low 20's, the lowest drop I noticed in the video for XB1 was 20 fps when a smoke bomb was dropped in a crowded area. Hopefully they'll eventually optimize the game to the point where it's 30 fps most of the time with no drops lower than 25 fps in the crowded sections, I'd be ok with that.

Dead Rising 3 has sold 1.5m on Xbox One according to Capcom's website. Not bad at all. Hopefully after another year or so the combined sales of the game on Xbox One and PC will pass 2m so that Capcom will make a sequel (they said not that long ago that they'd only make sequels to games that sold more than 2m).

It's more than likely the crowds, the drops seem to mainly be in sections with big crowds. The game renders up to 5,000 people on the screen in certain sections of the game if I remember correctly, so yeah, that's probably why. Ubi should tone the crowds down some for AC Victory if it's neccessary, I'd be ok with a 50% reduction in crowd sizes if it allowed a stable 30 fps.
