where did they say there holding back the PS4?
they said it was down to the CPU as to why the game is at 900p and as we all know. the CPU's in these systems are quite weak in comparison to PC's. something akin to laptop CPU's.
Actually they said the cpu's on both where what was limiting it to 30fps. Going by other multiplatform games it isn't hard to assume the PS4 is the one being held back on the res front.
and yet the ONE has the better CPU. so you cant really compare a GPU (graphics) game over a game that is using the CPU for AI.
I thought the ending was alright for where the story went, but I think they really just backed themselves into a corner the last 2 seasons.
From what I have read it is not actually clear if the Xbox cpu is better. I really don't know though seeing as I'm not a tech guru and can only go by what others say.
I've pretty much written off all Ubi games at this point with the exception of FC4. Glad they reaffirmed my position with this nonsense.
They shouldn't be holding the PS4 version due to the deficiencies in the architecture of the XB1. If the XB1 is struggling to output 1080p then MS should suffer the ramifications for such a poorly designed console, PS4 gamers should not be punished too.
and yet the 4's CPU has performed better in real time performance tests like the substance engine.
Anyways, I'm quite surprised ubisoft would announce this res parity but wouldn't be surprised if they later released a 1080p patch just like for black flag. I'm pretty sure they could've made the 4 version 1080p without much hindrance to the game's performance just like the majority of other developers can.
Well it's not like the PS4 is exempt from 900p games. Both consoles are under powered. The engine probably sucks. Just look at The Golf Game to see how crappy some engines are made.
AC Unity could probably be 1080p on both consoles with a different engine. Others can do it.

What if "We decided to lock them at the same specs to avoid all the debates and stuff", has nothing to do with parity and everything to do with locking the frame rate on both consoles? What if the PlayStation version was chugging along and didn't have a consistent frame rate at 1080/30 frames per second and dipped below 30 constantly? So rather then have the debate of why didn't they just lower the resolution to get a consistent frame rate they just decided to do it anyway to "avoid all the debates"? What if the debate actually has nothing to do with the Xbox One?
Ms should send engineers over to get it 1080p, dx12 helps cpu more than anything, now that would be hilarious if they do that.
What's even more hilarious is the fact that resolution has nothing to do with the CPU.
What if it does? Right now, we have no way of knowing either way. I forget does AC Unity have exclusive marketing with the Xbox brand or PS brand?
You make a fair point, AC Unity does sound poorly optimised or it's too ambitious for the current engine. I think they could do with it delaying after reading some preview impressions.
I'm just going to say this (thinking out loud)...
What if MS helped to make AC Unity be 900p on the Xbox One? What if the game was originally going to be less than 900p on the Xbox One?
This wouldn't negate the fact that Ubisoft still held back the PS4 version but even if they did, very few would care as much as they do in this current situation because you would have had a 900p vs. less than 900p situation; PS4 version would still be better.
The game being the same resolution on both systems has added on to Ubisoft's horrible PR statement (obviously). Things wouldn't be so bad right now though if the PS4 version of the game was a better resolution than the Xbox One version even if the game could have been better than 900p on the PS4.
This is all just speculation though. No different from what others are doing here and other places. Overall, what I'm trying to say is MS could have added on to this current reaction without them intending too (if again, it's true that they helped AC Unity be 900p on the Xbox One).

Too bad next gen cant consistently keep up with my 8 year old 1080p 60hz TVs and Monitors, Maybe when 4k is everywhere they will catch up to last decade.
