Listen PS4 owners got the PS4 to do the gimping, not to be gimped.



What next gen game with PS4 as the console resolution leader ever held back PC?

It's not the resolution that bothers me. It's the fact that they are clearly holding the PS4's full potential back. That's trying to take value away from PS4 by MS instead of trying to increase the value of your own console. Why try to rob PS4 owners of the more powerful console features they paid for? Ridiculous and despicable!

To be fair it's Sony's console not Ubisofts. Therefore it is Sony's responsibility to make full use of it, nobody elses.

but it's Ubi's responsibility (as far as providing their customers the best experience possible on each platform) to get the most they can out of each platform.  They are making a concerted effort to NOT do that if it's the same on Xbox and PS4 since they know as well as you or I that it is not the same power level we're talking.

If we're lucky, Ubisoft might start selling 1080p for DLC.

Sony isn't developing the game though.

People still have no clue as to what the parity clause is.


Unbelievable.

Yeah, as a Playstation fan, this point should absolutely be driven home here.  This isn't the result of the Parity Clause thing, that Microsoft does.  Which I believe only amounts to games having to come out on the platforms at the same time, right (Which can be very tough on indie devs, which is why it's criticized in the industry)?  This issue, is actually something that devs are doing voluntarily, which we were tipped off on earlier in the gen. 

"One source even suggested that enforcing parity across consoles could become a political issue between platform holders, developers and publishers. They said that it could damage perceptions of a cross platform title, not to mention Xbox One, if the PS4 version shipped with an obviously superior resolution and framerate; better to “castrate” the PS4 version and release near-identical games to avoid ruffling any feathers."

Ubisoft's comments merely reinforce either the myth, or the reality that this is in fact, happening.  But, it's certainly not because of the Xbox clause.

The problem isn't that the game is 900p. The problem is that they're INTENTIONALLY gimping the PS4 version for no reason other than to make XBO owners feel better. I'm not sure why people don't understand that.


Well, for starters, a shred of evidence pertaining to any of those conspiracy theories would be great to help people understand what the real "problem" is.

Why don't you take two seconds out of your day and read the quote that came directly from Ubisoft. I'm tired of explaining this.

Watch Dogs. Probably many others that have to use weak console textures.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
