Forums - Gaming - Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag Comparison PS3 vs. PS4

There were subtle differences, nothing major. If you have to look that close to notice differences, I don't really understand the hype around "MORE POWER IS BETTER". Never was a graphics whore though.

This title was clearly developed for 7th gen consoles. My guess is that the PS4 version will be native 1080p 60 FPS and so on, so the differences won't be very noticeable on a youtube video. This doesn't even bother one bit after seeing all the recent Killzone: SF gameplay.

Remember when people were saying Wii U is only as powerful or less powerful than PS3 because launch cross-gen multiplats didn't look way better on it than current gen?
Yeah, I hope those stupid people notice that isn't so different for PS4 either.



The biggest issue for these games is they are built on current tech for current gen with some nice new bells and whistles.

Don't get me wrong, I like the improvements, and will be getting it on PS4 as it will be hopefully a much more smoother experience. But it will be a couple of years until we see the real next gen as Cerny said… once current gen starts to drop off or exclusives are the place to see improvements. Don't expect them from a game thats coming out on 6 platforms at once.

What a worthless comparison, to compare cut-scenes.

Oh man, that was dissapointing indeed :). Probably just goes to show that the 3rd parties hasn´t learned the new hardware yet.

It's just time... When you are a 3rd party, you are making improvements to your engines over time. This is made worse that they have 3 new versions (wii-u, XboxOne and PS4 to make)... so they have even less time to spend making improvements to their engine when they are trying to make the game.

So if they weren't releasing on 6 platforms at once, the engine team would have made improvements across the board. This is why you will see improvements to games sometime next year... it will be even better once PS3/Xbox versions are dropped, the improvements will get made on PS4/XboxOne alot better.

they always knew that (wii u case included), but you see: Haters gonna hate, it's that simple.

Lol way better...they won't ever look way better, Wii U just doesn't have enough under the hood to have way better multiplats.

Problem was and is that a lot of multiplats were inferior to current gen versions  



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

At the end when the camera moved outwards the boat definitely has more detail on the PS4 version.

Overall though, not a big jump at all. If they werent side by side it would be hard to tell.
