Forums - Sony Discussion - Assassin's Creed 4 on PS4 is 900p but Patch Will Add 1080P and AA

Tagged games:

Right now the retail version of AC4 is running at 900p but Ubisoft is close to release a patch that will up the resolution to 1080p and add AA to the game.

Why?

But why ship at 900p in the first place? To meet an essential goal: deliver a visually brilliant game at a steady 30 frames per second (the industry gold standard for open-world games). Finishing the game at 900p gave the development team the extra room in terms of the GPU and CPU usage to ensure the framerate never dips below 30 frames per second. The team then used the time between the ship date and the release to focus on a title update that could deliver native 1080p resolution on the PS4.

So the dev team worked on the 1080p optimizations after the game goes gold.

I don't like the ideia of day-1 patches but I don't like the ideia to play games below 1080p too... so this patch is more important than my issues with day-1 patches.

Next time do the job right Ubisoft... that's the minimum I expect from any dev.

At 30fps for a current gen game ?! Wow next gen consoles altogether are a disappointment. -_-



Seems like the ps4 now needs the internet to make games better...

You probably won't be here much longer after reading your other atrocious posts.

Pff typical comment out of you. What's with all the flaming all of a sudden?

The PS4/Xbone comparisons lately, really seem to have hurt some people's feelings!

How about adding to the discussion or just not commenting?

Agreed. It's not like this game is pushing anything that a mid-end PC wouldn't be able to run at 60FPS, it's barely better than the current-gen versions, except in the resolution department.



Man, 8th gen games are so poorly optimized at the moment.

I'm surprised they managed to get 900p on the X1.

It is disheartening to hear this. I expected more out of the PS4.
