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.
