Assassin’s Creed Unity PS4 720p Resolution Mention on PSN Listing Is a Mistake, Ubisoft Clarifies

When Assassin’s Creed Unity was made available for pre-order on the PSN, the listing included (and still includes) a “720p HD Video Output” mention that sparked rumors that the game could be launched with that resolution on Sony’s console.

DualShockers received a clarification directly from Ubisoft stating that the listing is indeed a mistake.

that took a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng time to clarify. But yeah i know it wouldn't be 720p on PS4.

Abriael3518d ago (Edited 3518d ago )

yeah I sent em the mail like before Gamescom :D

But it's a busy time in the industry.

Xsilver3518d ago

So true thanks for helping clear things up.

nX3518d ago (Edited 3518d ago )

Still
a.) why did this even happen, who did this listing?? Even we customers knew it was 1080p because the devs confirmed it a while ago.
b.) No matter how busy it is, it shouldn't be a problem to check your mails. I'm getting around 100 mails a day and I still skim through all of them to see whether there are any urgent issues. If I'd work there and see something like that it would've been fixed in a matter of days, maybe hours. It's not a big thing to fix but it causes lots of confusion amongst customers so it should have priority.

Forn3518d ago

They don't want to list it as 1080p and have it not be like with Watch Dogs. Better to be listed lower and have it be higher than list it higher and have it be lower.

SuperBlur3518d ago

with the guy suing sony over resolution , a lot of devs are listing their games on the ps store as 720p

DevilOgreFish3518d ago

that took a while, and they still didn't clarify what the target res is, being months away from launch.

AndrewLB3518d ago

You guys seem to be missing something very important here. Nowhere did he say the game would be 1080p. He just said it would NOT be 720p. 900p anyone? If they want to run it at 1080p, they're going to have to dumb it down quite a bit from the PC version they've been showing at conventions.

AngelicIceDiamond3518d ago

They better hurry up and clarify before people go nuts.

Eonjay3518d ago

Too late, they went nuts a few weeks ago. Took them weeks to clarify.

Nearly 1000 degrees of FUD

Abriael3518d ago

To be honest, it was a pretty baseless rumor, which is why I didn't even bother reporting it back there. Thought I'd try to squash it instead :D

Eonjay3518d ago

@Abriael

+1 for decent investigative journalism.

imt5583518d ago

Ubisoft smashed MisterX's hopes. Too bad.

XtraTrstrL3518d ago

He says the 720p references the capacity output of the hardware. What hardware is he talking about?

Abriael3518d ago

No hardware, as it's a mistake.

CuddlyREDRUM3518d ago

It was PS4, as in that is why there was a big outcry about it.

KYPRIME3518d ago

he's talking about the standard resolutions that the ps4 can output for normal tvs, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p

aerisbueller3518d ago

Yeah, doesn't make a lick of sense. How does he know what my TV can output? Also, who the hell speaks of resolution as a capacity of pixels?

@Abriael - I don't think so. He mentions the hardware in his correction, not the original text.

"That particular description isn’t talking about the game resolution – it references the capacity of the hardware output. As such, it was listed incorrectly and is currently being updated"

I don't get it at all.

Abriael3518d ago

He clearly says that it's a mistake.

There isn't anything else to get.

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy8541d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis519d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde519d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils519d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia520d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack519d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain519d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall519d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast519d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
