Gonna see for myself tomorrow but it sounds believable. The framerate in ACIV was already atrocious.
If it fails too much I will have to get it for PC. At least there I would have the option to turn the graphics down a bit if it drops too hard.

Also Ubi would like you to know that those aren't actually  frame drops. Those are cinematic drops.

There is a GAFer that posted a clip.

Honestly was there any need to put that many NPCs on screen?

Damn! look at those pop-ins!

"Over 5000 NPCs on screen" looks better for advertisment than "With a solid framerate"

how else would they market it as "next gen"? also i am guessing the problem isnt much with the huge number of NPC's as much as its a problem with poor optimization. 

10.000 troops on screen at once! Oh wait, was that the other one?

Or should i say: Every once of power!


I do hope this game tanks. Ubi really deserves a backlash for the way they have handled this game.

CPU bound game, XBOne has a slightly faster CPU but both console's CPUs suck ass. When Ubisoft were designing their next gen engine and design for the game 4 years ago they were probably expecting much more powerful CPUs than what they got.

In other words Ubisoft done goofed and designed a next gen engine/game that sucks on the hardware it was designed for.

So this is the game that´s using every ounce of power from the PS4/X1...yeah, fuck you Ubisoft.

I am very interested to hear what the rest of the game is like now, hopefully it will be good despite of its' issues

Edit: Damn, I was so focused on the jittery running I didn't notice that horrendous soldier pop-in
