Assassin's Creed Unity is 900p, 30fps on PS4, Xbox One

4.5

Assassin's Creed Unity will render at 900p resolution and run at 30 frames-per-second on both PS4 and Xbox One, senior producer Vincent Pontbriand has revealed.

He explained that the game could run at "100 fps if it was just graphics", but not while managing the detailed AI processes that simulate the game's massive crowds and individual citizens.

"We were quickly bottlenecked by that and it was a bit frustrating, because we thought that this was going to be a tenfold improvement over everything AI-wise, and we realized it was going to be pretty hard," Pontbriand said. "It's not the number of polygons that affect the frame rate."

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag also ran at 900p and 30 frames-per-second on both systems when it launched last year. However, a post-launch update bumped the PS4 version's resolution up to 1080p.

The Assassin's Creed Unity's release date is November 11 in North America, November 13 in Europe and November 14 in the UK.

Ary This is karma bitting the PS4 Fanboys hating on xbox one only hitting 900p for a few games... The tables have turned clearly.

Tables turned, how? PS4 still has more games running at a higher resolution. They will possibly increase the resolution prior to launch.

Based on that, I'd say Ubisoft don't want to be seen as discriminating a platform thereby reducing Xbone's sales. It's just marketing.

Man don't be bringing all the other games in this debate. You're talking about Unity so stick with it. IMO I really do not care what's the resolution. I just care if it's a damn good game.

Well Ary said, "for a few games" so you are speaking to the wrong person. I agree, game-play is more important. But this article is a discussion about the resolution so expect people to discuss it whither you care or not.

That's pretty good if you ask me. I don't need the top of the top quality graphics. As long as the game is fun, I'm good.

Sucks, you get a fancy new powerful console and run into yet another limitation, it'll still be good though!

YinPosted: Mon. Oct 06, 2014

I don't really care about the whole 900p thing in games. That fps is a different story though. If it was a shooter, I would have been a lot more disappointed. Since it is Assassin's Creed, I think I can deal with it without an issue. The game still looks great, and I am digging that almost 1:1 scale with some of the main structures. Should be an awesome game.
