Do you agree with this ?

Very Very Naughty and lazy.

Just because ONE console struggles with Resolution they penalise the other system,they never done this in the days of the 360 when it ruled the world

No I don't agree with it.

"We decided to lock them at the same specs to avoid all the debates and stuff,"

So instead everyone will debate why the [censored] they've done that


I'm waiting for the Unity/Car Club PS4 pack to come out to buy

You mean Drive Club?,not sure about your other unity whatever that is.

Yea Driveclub and AC Unity

Correct me if I am wrong but the PS3 was more powerful than the Xbox 360 but harder to code for, so in a way the only reason a game would have been better on 360 would be because of developers not dedicating the time to a game. Just look at what PS3 exclusives achieved.

But yeah I agree it's lame, 1080p should be the minimum these days.

That's pretty shocking and TBH it's makes no real sense why they would come out and say it, Surely it can only annoy potential customers. If I was Sony I'd be having a right go at them.

Nice to see the article getting the full story, actual reason is below.

tdlr Consoles are CPU bound, not GPU bound due to AI demands.

Makes you wonder if Microsoft already have, but it could well just be a bad financial decision which is a slippery slope all of it's own...

Too late for excuses, the cat's out of the bag. And as your link says, they managed 1080 on the PS4 with a patch after release of Watchdogs so it is possible.

The thing is, Watchdogs received similar criticism and also had a ton of NPC's on screen but were they all necessary? I think it's great when you first turn Watchdogs on and see streets packed with people, but after playing for an hour it became quickly boring with 70% of them offering nothing but lame social commentary. On the other hand, Infamous: Second Son looked great but probably could have done with a few more NPC's.

I think it's the type of games that both Watchdogs/AC are that is the real problem. If the new consoles struggle with their vision then so will half the PC market, so you have to ask yourself why they comment like this at all? Let the game do the talking and the buyer decide.

Whatever the reviews I expect both games to be amazing. If both DriveClub and Project Cars turn out as expected, it will be T500 steering wheel and pedals time for nelly.

Edit: I won't be buying AC as (regrettedly) I never get on with the controls, but I'm sure it will look fantastic going by the snippets I've seen already.

UPDATE: Ubisoft has released a statement claiming that it "did not lower the specs for Assassin's Creed Unity to account for any one system over the other".

"We understand how Senior Producer Vincent Pontbriand's quotes have been misinterpreted," Ubisoft said in a statement provided to Kotaku. "To set the record straight, we did not lower the specs for Assassin's Creed Unity to account for any one system over the other.

"Assassin's Creed Unity has been engineered from the ground up for next-generation consoles. Over the past 4 years, we have created Assassin's Creed Unity to attain the tremendous level of quality we have now achieved on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. It's a process of building up toward our goals, not scaling down, and we're proud to say that we have reached those goals on all SKUs.

"At no point did we decide to reduce the ambitions of any SKU. All benefited from the full dedication of all of our available optimization resources to help them reach the level of quality we have today with the core Assassin's Creed Unity experience."

Yea even if they have nerfed it which they are now saying they haven't it still looks fantastic on the new current gen. Looking forward to co-op too

this has been happening for years, 90% of console ports to PC are gimped due to limited console hardware power.

Also final fantasy 13 on the PS3 was gimped due to the DVD limitations on the 360.

Do I agree with it? not sure.

I dont think they would have done it tho if there wasnt so much media attention to pixel count. Who cares if its 720p,900p, or 1080p? I dont.

I do care about things like lighting, shadow effects, texture quality tho.

AC is one game I couldn't give two hoots about ,do not like them and find them completely boring .....that's my opinion and I get how others like yourself and Jaxx enjoy them.

I'm not saying it doesn't look nice I have just failed to find any enjoyment in them,I bought that Black Flag again Swanny for the Playstation 4 this time around,within 1 hour of playing it I regretted buying it and it was quickly discarded and traded.
