Huh... now I'm actually interested in this game

So is this the part where I post the PC Master Race picture?

If they intentionally cripple a product because of marketing deals, they deserve all the negativity they can get. It has nothing to do with "fun".

Sony typically has marketing deals for Assassin's Creed.

They switched to Xbox One for this game.

Seriously, people are getting butthurt because a game DOESN'T look better on PS4 for once?? Come on, and to people saying the XB1 is "underpowered", EVERY gen has a weaker console.

It used to. It is Microsoft this gen for Assassin's Creed, Sony with Watch Dogs. Though Sony doesn't pay for the One version to be 600p.

What's the big deal? The game will still look awesome.

Did anybody read the paragraph about AI? They're not intentionally holding the PS4 back, the game is CPU bound and both Xbox One and PS4 have roughly the same CPU, hense why the performance is the same. Would you rather they decrease the number of characters on the screen just to hit 1080p? I swear, gamers this generation have been so obnoxious, this desire for 1080p is holding games back from their true potential. Face facts guys, neither the Xbox One or PS4 were as powerful as devs were hoping for, that's why they're only equivalent to mid-range PC's this gen whereas last gen 360/PS3 started out equivalent to high-end PC's. Let developers optimize games the way they want to optimize them instead of telling them that 1080p/60fps are requirements, you're forcing their hands by doing that and causing them to have to make sacrifices they don't want to make. I applaud you Ubisoft, for having the balls to stand up to obnoxious gamers and do what many other devs have been too scared to do, refuse to sacrifice features you wanted in the game just to hit 1080p/60fps.


That's nice and all but if you read, it clearly says:

 

""We decided to lock them at the same specs to avoid all the debates and stuff,""

 

That's pretty damn clear to me.

Explaind beautifully. 

...If the XB1 and PS4 weren't as powerful as expected, then just HOW powerful were devs expecting them to be?

I don't get why everyone is ignoring the fact they called the CPU a bottleneck for both systems


Devs say lots of things...... Fanboys will listen what they want to believe


Fixed for you

Do you even know what you are talking about? Being CPU bound would only affect the framerate, not resolution. IF One is able to play this game at 900p PS4 is able to play it at 1080p. Period. They even say that the reason is to prevent the debate but everyone knows the real reason.
