don't need to look my 1080ti will handle this in 4k very fine

Lynx02072376d ago

Lucky you. If I wanted to play in ultra (everything maxed) I'm sure I must set res to 1080p and lock on 30 fps (old gtx970 here ;(). But that's fine for me. I just hope that new AC will give me as much fun as ACIV and Syndicate.

Kaiou2376d ago

I don't think so(unless you mean 30fps), my 1080ti struggle to run AC Syndicate in 4K 60FPS unless I turn down a few settings. I hope that they optimized the engine for 4K now that it's more mainstream than in 2015.

DaMist2376d ago

Same here, Shadow of war runs much more closer to target 4k and about 50ish framerates on my 1080 by tweaking a few things, buy A.C. Syndicate comes nowhere near close that in performance

7sonology2376d ago

My 1080ti will run it in 4K 60FPS at ultra

Razzer2376d ago

I think someone is “compensating”

😄

Bigpappy2376d ago

Been there, done that. But if you still enjoy that, by all means have your fun.

Razzer2376d ago

You make zero sense dude

Bigpappy2376d ago

Why even bother. Just get an X and a 4K HDR set. No need to mess around with settings. Just power on and start the kill in vivid 4K.

Razzer2376d ago

Because consoles are limited in FPS. That is why. Adjusting settings in PC versions of games isn’t that hard.

DaMist2376d ago

What I'd really like to know is if the game will support HDR on the PC, I'm even contemplating settling for 30fps on ps4 pro for the HDR than on the pc with higher frame rate. I like HDR that much and I'm torned lol

Adexus2375d ago

Lol I'm willing to guess that it won't at least at launch, HDR on PC never seems to work well, at least for me, would look lovely with HDR though but I'd take 60fps over it, just hoping it runs well enough for 4k 60fps on a 1080Ti!

DaMist2375d ago (Edited 2375d ago )

So far the few games I've played in HDR on pc have worked great, after I got a new HDMI cable and I made sure to turn HDR mode on in Windows display settings, then the games switched to HDR automatically when launched.
Also I get great results in shadow of war in 4k with just a 1080, so hopefully origins is optimized as well, or at least better than syndicate and if so, you should be more than good.

Adexus2374d ago

To be fair I haven't tried it since Windows was updated with HDR, last game I tried was Mass Effect Andromeda and I thought it looked terrible, a ton of banding and it didn't have the HDR brightness either, couldn't get it working no matter what Nvidia settings I used, I think I'll have to give it another shot though!

Razzer2376d ago

Pretty much the same requirements as AC Syndicate.

Let’s hope Ubisoft has improved their Anvil engine since then.

Plagasx2376d ago

Let's hope this is a good port and not like Unity levels of bad. They had an extra year to make sure. No excuses this time.

kevnb2376d ago (Edited 2376d ago )

the pc version of unity was the only one that was playable until the ps4 pro came out, the console versions were pretty much 20 fps games with dips into the low teens.

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske196d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid196d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot196d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno196d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot196d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface195d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot195d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69196d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar207d ago (Edited 207d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake207d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga206d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx206d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga206d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9206d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler207d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666206d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52206d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott206d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52205d ago (Edited 205d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara196d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher206d ago (Edited 206d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52206d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner206d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52206d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster207d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot206d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster206d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned206d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9206d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1206d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake206d ago (Edited 206d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster206d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
