I hate when developers sacrifice resolution for a solid 30 fps.

Look at Sleeping Dogs Remasterd and The Evil Within. Those games got frame dips up the ass because those developers its 1080p or GTFO.

Can't comment on Sleeping Dogs (haven't read up on it yet), but TEW is the result of piss poor optimization. Even if it was full 1080p i'd consider its current performance instability the result of poor optimization, but at 1920x768 and 1600x640? That's downright embarrassing.


Indeed.

Its poorly optimized and it was published by the company that owns the game engine. Its mind boggling!

What the hell... I think this is the craziest thing I have ever seen. This letter is obviously fake or else they need to retract this:

It's obviously a fake but it seems the fake gets more coverage than the real information, being this technical comparison between both consoles from ubisoft



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Lies, the ps4 superconsole can run any game at 1080p

Well, I do believe Ubisoft can't handle my wallet, then.

It has 1080p worth of $60, but I guess that blaming the console works instead, you know, when other companies have had no problem saying it "can handle 1080p like Ubisoft can handle rehashing the same title every year."


You still get 24000 pixels per dollar. That's a bargain!

I'm guessing you had little interest in this game regardless of the resolution.

And at 60 fps!

Developers just hold back because they want to pace it out over the generation.

How do they manage that? It's no secret that the PS4 is quite a bit more powerful than the XBO, yet they have the same resolution and framerate, but apparently the PS4 performance is maxxed?

Not that it really matters though, as long as the game is fun.


If you're bottled on the CPU for your lighting engine and rendering engine, then it doesn't matter how big your GPU is or how high its throughput. You're not getting over the CPU bottleneck and they either can't, won't, or efficiency is out the window, push it to GPGPU handling. You can scale the graphics with the GPU all you want up to 1080p, but the rendering and lightning engine won't have a clue what to do with it because it doesn't have the power to render at that scale.

That is assuming this is true about the CPU and rendering factoids.



globalisateur on 15 October 2014

He talks about 1080p but only explain why the framerate is locked at 30fps because of the CPU. But what about the resolution? We know resolution almost doesn't depend of the CPU bottlneck.

Still doesn't answer at all the 900p parity lock, only the 30fps lock. But people don't care about the 30fps lock, people know AC games were, are and will be 30fps.

And from what we saw from the XB1 build, the XB1 can't handle 900p30fps either.



Intrinsic on 15 October 2014

Just to be clear.... all according to whoever this guy is; 9 months ago the game was running at 9fps, then after optimizing (which mind you is what every dev does when making a game) they got it to 720p/30fps, then they just got it to 900p/30fps a few weeks ago. But somehow thats all the optimization they can do and the PS4 can't handle running better.

So basically the PS4 is maxed out at the same point the XB1 was able to reach?

Sigh... Ubisoft. Please just shut up.



Landguy on 15 October 2014

oh well. better get the Xb1 version. it might be one of the only multiplats to have parity



It is near the end of the end....

kljesta64 on 15 October 2014

so if ps4 is at 100% how can the xone be on the same level if the game is the same resolution and framerate on both consoles ?
