great to hear

teedogg804308d ago

I know right? The frame rate was exactly what I was worried about. Really great news.

ZBlacktt4308d ago (Edited 4308d ago )

I've played it on the PS4. Another add on which I do not know if is on current gen is that there's weather cycles in the online now. So you'll be playing in the sun, rain and stormy weather. The graphics on the PS4 are very rich/deep and detailed. The environment is much more alive now as well. They also have a match making creation system that allows you to build your own game plays to whatever you'd like.

So both 60fps on both consoles good to hear I guess. Dev's have said you will be able to tell difference from 3rd party exclusives so they perform the same but do they look the same time will tell. Tbh the difference won't shine out unless it's on 1st party games

GarrusVakarian4308d ago

Yeah, 3rd party titles will look good but 1st party titles will be where each console shines.

Shakengandulf4308d ago

Why would anyone disagree with these two comments?
1080p and 60fps on a multy platform game is exactly what everyone should be happy about, most titles on xbox and ps3 could barley hit 720p, 30 fps at times.
This is excellent news.

GamerXD4308d ago

I love that. I'll be playing it with remote play. Damn 60fps is so smooth while you slaughter random pirates. Anway, is it 1080p? If it is, My pre-order line up is hella of a goodness. 2 ds4 + camera and 6 games.

thrust4308d ago

Why do you care if it is 1080p and you are remote playing it?

the vita is not 1080p.

DigitalAnalog4308d ago

Answer: Downsampling. Look it up.

thrust4308d ago

Still not 1080p tho,haha

GamerXD4308d ago

@thrust

I know, but I want 1080p on my tv. I'll just do the remote play when my brother is watching tv shows.

Adexus4308d ago

Only the multiplayer portion will be 60fps, SP will be 30fps which they've said before, makes sense since multiplayer won't have an open world or ship battles.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart4308d ago

Your wrong about that. Where did you get such terrible info from?.

starchild4308d ago

Eurogamer already reported that the single player is running at 30fps and the multiplayer at 60fps.

Go ahead and believe that the single player will run at 60fps, but it will only result in you being disappointed when the game comes out and it's confirmed to be 30fps.

This is the multiplayer team being interviewed and they are talking about the multiplayer portion of the game.

It's the same thing as with Killzone Shadow Fall-- the single player is 30fps and multiplayer is 60fps.

papashango4308d ago

Been playing at over 100fps since AC2...

jimsas4307d ago

No , he's actually right about that.
It was at gamescom.

Adexus4308d ago (Edited 4308d ago )

It even says it in the this article, only multiplayer is mentioned, not single player.

And as starchild stated, Eurogamer/Digital Foundry tested it and this is what's in their article:

"On a performance level, yet again it's a shame to see the opportunity for 60fps pass us by on next-gen, but at least we have what's shaping up to be a solid 30fps game on our hands. Gone is the tearing of Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, and similarly the sustained drops to the 20fps mark in the third game on console isn't a factor here."

It only being 30fps sucks but that's no reason to disagree with me whilst doing no research yourself.

Love that we just keep replaying games. Next-gen comes along we’ll get Assassin’s Creed Remake REMAKE…

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH2h ago

People say they like the old style AC games yet when they made one nobody bought it. I prefer the RPG style AC games better personally so I’ll Skip Black Flag. Never understood why it’s so highly regarded in the first place.

FullmetalRoyale42m ago

Love(d) AC 4. Been replaying it recently, actually. Idk what their price will be for this release, but I can't see spending anything close to full price for it. Maybe years from now when I feel like another playthrough.

Report: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake Will Be More Than a Visual Upgrade, New Systems Mentioned

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake looks to be all but confirmed, with some first official details being shared online.

-Foxtrot167d ago

Black Flags is great and all but they really should have remade the first game.

Like I said Black Flags is a fantastic pirate game but it's where, for me anyway, it started to drift away from it's Assassin roots and felt like a new IP they were too scared to do without something attached. It's funny because they could have called this Skull and Bones back then or just "Black Flags and it would have done well enough to start a new IP for them. Sometimes I felt Black Flags was held back in some places because it was attached to AC lore, if it was a new IP it would have been fun to continue Edwards adventures in multiple games as he was a really good characters.

RaidenBlack166d ago

Altair's AC1 deserves more of a reimagining than a straight remake ... The game's got pacing issue and is comparatively barren especially since the parkour ability surprise has worn of.

VenomUK166d ago

I loved Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and so did many millions of other people. Ubisoft intentionally reduced the AC element so it was mostly a pirate game that had the broadest appeal.

Ubisoft should not have wasted time making the online Skull & Bones or this remake - it should’ve just made a new standalone single player pirate game that could become a franchise.

anast166d ago

They are doing this because they just have to reskin Odyssey. The first one would take an actual ground up effort.

RaidenBlack166d ago

Odyssey? But that's totally different structure from the pre-Origins AC palette i.e of AC4 in this case.
That'd mean the AC4 Remake would be more akin to the RPG-ACs, which Black Flag was not and I'd definitely dont want that from the remake.
I am skeptical but am not totally dismissing the ^idea either, coz remakes like FF7 have totally reimagined the base game.
IF that's what they end up doing, then please Ubi, dont remake the other classical ACs. I want more of a modern graphics overhaul with some QoL changes, like the MGS Delta or RE4, than total reimagining.

anast166d ago (Edited 166d ago )

They are going to repurpose Odyssey's water environments, islands, and a big part of the animations from the naval stuff.

I don't think they will do a FF7, it's not how they operate. But if they do, I'm with you. I would love to see those games too.

vTuro24166d ago

I had fun with the first game and I loved the setting, but holy shit was it repetitive. I'd be down for a remake but only if they seriously adress that part of the game.

Chard166d ago

I agree to the extent that I want a pirate game uninterrupted by periodic visits to the modern day. Hopefully the remake fixes that

I like Black Flag but I also liked Rogue too bad it's not a two for one deal.

RaidenBlack166d ago (Edited 166d ago )

Wish they remade ACII before Black Flag ... or even re-imagined AC1

RaidenBlack166d ago

ACII >>> AC4. ~ Its the best 'AC' game. Black Flag was a good pirate game, Odyssey is a good mythological RPG game. But are not better 'AC' game.

ReidoN7166d ago

I never put anywhere near enough into Black Flag when it first launched.

Looking forward to giving it another go when the remake launches.

blackblades166d ago

They milking the F outta this franchise

Profchaos166d ago

It's the only thing keeping the lights on at ubi well AC and siege ofcourse.
