Round 2 I guess....

Hutchinson has mentioned that in regards to Far Cry 4 on the PS4 and Xbox One, the studio was able to get it running at ultra high PC quality immediately.

We are told that PC is the lead platform.

Link to article.

Good for PS4/Xb1 owners.
For the PC side of things...well..lets see how this pans out.
I have to be honest here. I don't have a shred of confidence in Ubisoft titles on PC. Optimization is horrible and they just don't seem to care.

/meh.
 
I'm gonna say 30fps with some kind of cheap post process AA. Far cry 3 at ultra was only a hog with MSAA enabled

As per quoted from the article. I'm expecting this game to look near identical on all platforms.
 
PS4 and X1 are only 'ultra' settings because they watered down PC to match the weaker consoles. Plain and simple.

Nope. It is the case for most games that are on consoles. All the GTA PC lovers best hope R* do a better port than they did with GTA 4.

Well, it can't be any worse than the console ver visual/performance wise.

Which is another reason why I'm a console gamer only. It gets more love than the PC side of things. :D

Not really. We're talking about UBI here, so that's expected. However, most pc games do get the better treatment, regardless of what people think.

yeah, I don't get it. I mean, yeah, it was a poor port....but it was still better than the choppy/low res version consoles got.

Yea UBI has been a terrible PC port offender lately, but that doesn't mean that all developers are.

And even being pc port offenders, the games still manage to be the better version 99.9% of the time. I mean, just look at Watch Dogs. Despite the issues, it's still better on pc.

You two seemed to have missed the point. The point wasn't it being better than the console version. The point is that the effort towards the PC is commonly low for games that span consoles to. Very few developers really put the effort in.

That's subjective though. I mean, as I pc gamer, I get games that run better and look better. I know you're talking about the effort put in, but again, it's subjective. Like I said, almost all pc ports of console games look and run better. Personally, that's enough of an effort to make me get it on pc. I'm getting exactly what I'd expect...a better looking and better performing game. Could "more" be done? Sure, but again, that's all subjective. There's console games that more effort can be put into as well but isn't.

No, I didn't miss the point.
 
even being a console gamer, i would take the worse port on my end as long as they push the barrier on PC. It's going to be rough this generation starting out with such weak consoles. I hate that they will hold back advancement.

Bingo!
 
Awesome news that they have to gimp the PC version so the already out of date weak consoles don't look pathetic?
 
ya, i've learned to ignore any statements made by ubisoft.
