People are sure getting worked up about an anonymous dev.

So what the anon email is implying is that maybe PS4 could have been 960p 35fps, but why bother with such inconsequential difference and just make it the same? If that is the case, and if Ubi had said exactly that, I reckon there would have been no shitstorm at all. Only a few of the most rabid fanboy would haven made a fuss and everyone else would have laughed at them.

Gamers need to stfu. Gamers know absolute jack about what's involved. They think they know but they don't. Just enjoy the games on your platform.

Ot. Ac unity looks gorgeous.

Actually, that is really not the whole point of this debate. We bought hardware that is suppose to be way better than the past ones. So far they still are failing to meet game makers demands. I still think game makers need to stop throwing all this stuff at the consoles, if nothing can run at gamers expectations. Which is usually the res and FPS.

I'd like one of these games, run at real 1080/60. Than see how much of a "downgrade" the other departments really get. I don't know if the game is gonna look "bad", unless someone actually does this. It be stupid, if say AC would work at those levels, if they just cut 20 AI people from the street, for example. Or made the draw distance slightly lower. I seriously doubt any of the reductions would make them look like Launch xbox/ps3 games. All as we know, the game can't run at 1080/60 is because they can't afford to pay the people to get it optimized. And all this is pure BS.

Completely agreed. I was going to pass on this game and still might (for other reasons though) but now I'm going to look into and see if my other concerns are valid or not.

Meh, fps lock doesn't actually explain the 1080p vs 900p resolution lock.  More bullshit from Ubisoft undercover.

"Yes, we have a deal with Microsoft, and yes we don't want people fighting over it" is what to take out of this.  In otherwords, they lied on their official blog.

This "email" could have come from anywhere, but if it is legitimate I'd question why the developers only had the game running at nine frames-per-second nine months ago. Is that normal for a game that had already been in development for over three years?

Yet games like GTA V which is 10 times bigger in scope will probably have no issue hitting 1080p?

Keep digging that hole Ubisoft

In order for PS4 and Xbone to be like PS360 on launch, they'd need to have 1000$ + GPUs inside them and thats just the GPU cost without the RAM, CPU and the other stuff, which would make the consoles be insanely expensive,

In the end, it doesnt matter, because the graphics standard in the industry is set by the consoles, so the power range under which the consoles operate is the power range developers will create their games in. No one is gonna be developing games on GTX 770 or Titan Z cards.

Besides, Sony designed the PS4 with the developer feedback, giving them they what they want, so it really shouldnt be the problem,unless a certain amoun of money hatting or incompetence is involved such as in Ac Unity's case

CPU is a bottleneck, thats how.  Lighting physics takes more than just gpu.
