Well this is an easy fix.

Want 1080p? We got DLC for that!

LMAO!  If they say that it is DEFINITELY gonna be klobberin time.  thumbtack barrage

I get that a lot of people care strongly about resolution and framerate -- far more than they did two years ago, when I joined -- but to me this is a non-issue. In fact, I see it as a positive thing. I wish more developers worked according to their means, and didn't overextend to produce state-of-the-art graphics, lighting, particle effects, and textures, all things that are, in the end, window dressing. Many of the developers and publishers who went belly-up last generation might have survived had they worked according to more sustainable business models, avoiding all the pitfalls of so-called "AAA" development.

Now, should Ubisoft be given a free pass for the way in which it announced this news? Absolutely not. The reasoning, "to avoid controversy," is laughable. I would prefer Ubisoft said it was doing it this way because higher resolution and framerate would take more time and resources and wouldn't improve the game in a significant way.

I'm still getting it.

Rol secretly owns a Xbox One.

Well, i was in the fance aswell, but now i wont be buying this for sure.

This practice must be shunned at with alot of prejudice. I wont buy any game that is purposely beeing scaled back just for parity with the rival system. That is ridiculous.

Assuming this is true that is. Not that i want to doubt but i didnt see a source.

We should also get a last gen, Ouya, Fire TV and Wii U version of the game all running on the same technical parameters. 600p, 30 FPS locked - same for X1 and PS4. Then see if this "well the resolution doesn't matter soo..." crowd is still around.

Now you understand how Nintendo gamers feel.

Congratulations.

Made me laugh.

That's silly if true.  More reasons for me to skip this downgrade from AC4.
