The 1.03 patch, which adds the 1080p resolution support and more fixes, is now available for download for the PS4 version of “Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag.”
Prototype footage from several of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed titles has leaked, revealing early stages of their development.

PoE: Deadfire, Unless you have a or PS5 or an SSD don't bother, loading times are insane. A minute and a half to go into a room to investigate a desk in an inn and then an additional 1 1/2 minutes to leave the room and then load to leave the inn???
And they never fixed it.
Ubisoft has just released Skull and Bones on PC and consoles. And, from the looks of it, the game wasn’t received well by some gamers. Not only that but it appears that Skull and Bones can be worse than Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, a game that came out a decade ago.
I wanted a Black Flag sequel so bad. It's still my favorite AC entry. The fact that they ignored everything that we loved about that game in this "spiritual successor" is making me enjoy watching this game crash and burn quite a bit. Either do it right or don't do it at all. (I understand the legal binding they got themselves into with the Singapore government to release this game at all costs)

11 years of development. Multiple restarts. All the while people have been saying they don't want some pirate game where you can't even get off your ship. 11 years of people telling Ubisoft all they want is a pirate game that's basically Black Flag without any of the assassin or animus stuff. Yet they still served up this trash that no one wanted, charged $70 for it, and had the balls to call it AAAA.
The Guillemot family honestly needs to be forced out of Ubisoft. They've doubled down on everything players don't like about their games, they want AI to create "rough drafts" of their stories rather than letting their writers do their jobs, and they literally do not give a shit what their playerbase actually wants. 5-6 years ago their stock was worth more than 4x what it's currently worth. The company is dying.
What has happened to developers? How can you possible make a worse looking game 11 years later? It’s honestly mind boggling.
Enough has been said about this game already. The gaming world shrugged when it was announced so many years ago, and instead of listening to all the criticisms from the community back then, Ubi just sailed on and kept making a game nobody really wanted. What a waste of money and effort.
Lets see if there's really a noticeable difference. I thought the game already looked pretty good.
going from 720p to 1080p is like going from being a blind man to a 20/20 vision sight. 720p makes me disgusted. its god awful, a absolute horrible disgrace.
Oh would you look at that there is a *noticable* difference ----> http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
And the above is a heavily compressed picture.
My lord and the gaming media has been trying to convince us that isn't a *noticeable* difference. Yh right.....

Let's challenge n4gamers: Which is 720p and 1080p?
Edit: 900p not 720p. lol
There was quite a difference between 720 and 1080 with Call Of Duty Ghosts. Most of the jaggies went away and the picture became clearer, brighter and more colorful. I imagine the same will be true with Assassins Creed.
Journalists that don't want you to believe that there's a difference, obviously have some sort of bias one way or the other. I'm not sure why it would matter so much to them, but obviously they have their reasons.
I think I'm more interested in the new anti-aliasing technique that they are using for the game, to get rid of the jaggies on the ropes and some of the thinner objects in the game. It's amazing that a developer would work past the release date to do something like this, especially those associated with such a huge publisher like Ubisoft. Great stuff.
