Forums - Gaming Discussion - Anonymous Assassin's Creed Unity Dev Says "PS4 Couldn't Handle 1080p"

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

If the X1 is running said games at 900p, then yes, the PS4 has the capabilities to run any game at 1080p

In the case of a title ACU, that has a strong reliance on the CPU (the weakest part of both the PS4 and X1), it's a matter of taking advantage of the PS4's GPGPU capabilities.

Reading this thread is somewhat entertaining after having just finished reading through Ubisoft's GDC presentation on the PS4 and X1's capabilities. They were even kind enough to provide graphs.

Or would you rather believe this "Anonymous Assassin's Creed Unity Dev", rather than an actual Ubisoft presentation :p

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.

exactly.  Heck I'm not demanding 1080p.  900p to 1080p could be a hard jump (could I emphasize).  If they would just say more foilage, shadows, draw distance, and/or other effects on PS4 then I would be satisfied.  The fact that they have NOTHING shows that they are little parity supporters and/or lazy.

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 ?


Oh damn... someone asked a logical question.

"Yes, we have a deal with Microsoft"

That's all you need to hear to know everything he said is bullshit.

Yep. CPU doesn't limit resolution in any way. You can actually run an engine/AI simulation with no graphical output whatsoever, and get the framerate report on how you're doing with the SDK. And it would run the same at 320x200 as 3840x2160 so long as your GPU had the guts for it.

See : every PC game ever.

See : every major multiplat with resolution differences between X1 and PS4.

DERP mofos.

Apart from me hating them a lot, I really cannot get them as well. They keep on saying negative stuff for themselves, then create lots of online drama and then they defend themselves with mocking the consoles. Is that all essential? Just shut up and make games.

So now, after the whole WiiU fiasco, it is PS4's turn. Getting my popcorn ready.

So disappointed in them. NEVER buying a game from them till it gets under 20 dollars and still unsure if I buy anything from them again.


Carefull, they might start to say PS4 owners do not like mature games

Complete BS on Ubisoft's part. A big AC fan, but lost a lot of respect after this fiasco.

Regardless, that is the most logical question to ask.  If the PS4 is more powerful than the Xbox One, and the PS4 is maxed out, how is parity even mathematically  possible?  It isn't.  You completely dismantled this anonymous claim.
