Chances of it being a mistake are high.

Same happened with Ultimate Spiderman 2, Trials Fusion.

Abash3541d ago

I actually laughed when I read the headline because of how improbable this is

@butterscotch Microsoft wouldn't bother, waste of their money-better off getting eclusive content which they have done (I hate the practice-they started it I wish sony hadn't continued it but nvm wont make any sane person pick one console over the other just pisses off and punishes gamers.)

dcbronco3541d ago

Butterscotch the only reasonable reply to that ridiculous comment is....what, what.

You know the rest.

DragonKnight3541d ago

This is either a mistake, or purposely done as a mockery to the people who file lawsuits over resolution.

Imagine taking Sony or Ubisoft to court because you expected Assassin's Creed Unity to be at 720p and instead it was at 1080p. The hilarity. If I were the judge I'd laugh that out of court myself.

Maybe Microsoft has a policy that ours has to be higher resolution or both have to only be up to 720p to get the lower rate for putting it on the xbox one. Something like that is the only reason I would think it would be 720p on ps4. And I really think it is a clever marketing tactic out of hollywoods page that they will magically declare was a misprint. It will be 4k! haha (someone will be the first).

DevilOgreFish3541d ago

Enemy "
No chance. If it's 720p on PS4, expect 540p on Xbox One."

you mean the xbox doesn't have enough memory to render a 720p image? i think it does.

nveenio3541d ago

It could be 720p because Ubisoft is lazy. A lot of 3rd-party developers are lazy (meaning their energy and motivation is money-based).

From what I've seen of Unity, there's no reason for it to run at sub-HD levels UNLESS they're lazy.

Or stupid.

TheGreatAndPowerful3540d ago

If it's 720p/60fps I'd be cool with that.

This may be true, i don't know. i remember when sony changed the info for watch dogs, an other ubisoft sandbox title.

DragonKnight3540d ago

Wow, you can see how many people think it's a great thing that Sony is being sued over resolution by the disagree count on my comment. Yeah, some of that is people who disagree with me just to disagree with me, but still.

It's frickin' sad that people think resolution is worthy of a lawsuit. If anything proves how too focused everyone is on graphics these days, it's definitely that lawsuit.

The_KELRaTH3540d ago

@dragonknight

I think the disagrees are because you are misunderstanding what is being sued about. It's not about games not being 1080p rather that Sony said x game was 1080p but supposedly it isn't so false advertising etc.

If it turns out to be correct then Sony should be accountable as should any company that falsely advertises something.

Mr Pumblechook3540d ago (Edited 3540d ago )

I'm guessing that after the recent lawsui Sony are just being cautious.

FamilyGuy3540d ago

LOL, Is there even one game on PS4 at 720p?

DragonKnight3540d ago

@The_KELRaTH: Umm, I'm not misunderstanding anything. Someone cares so much about resolution that they are suing Sony because a game isn't what they consider to be native 1080p. Like so many have said countless times, Microsoft advertised a buttload of games as being native 1080p on the 360 and have received exactly zero lawsuits for having 720p games upscaled to 1080p. Guerrila Games even explained the whole situation.

The disagrees are definitely because people want Sony to be sued and they don't care that suing over resolution is the absolute definition of a frivolous lawsuit.

Zhipp3540d ago

I know. What a disaster that would be. How would the XB1 version perform if the PS4 couldn't even reach 720p, and, knowing Ubi's track record, would the game even be playable on PC?

Mithan3540d ago (Edited 3540d ago )

This is N4G. The dumber the headline, the more hits it gets.

And if it DID run at 720p upscaled to 1080p, it would be because they are maxing out the graphics.

More graphics features = more power, meaning you need to turn down the resolution to keep the frame rate high.

It wont happen, but I could live with a 720p version of the game maxed out, rather than 1080p equating to "medium" on the PC.

720p on PS4 that's the highest form of blasphemy (•ิ_•ิ)

Daniel_Potter3541d ago

After taking a look at
http://www.ign.com/wikis/xb...
i found out that there isn't a single game that runs 720p on ps4
though here are 900p60fps, 900p30fps, 1080p30fps

Still, Ubisoft are known for making badly optimized games. So maybe it's possible

die_fiend3540d ago

There's an equal amount of chance in 720p as there is Xbone being 1080p.

Not a hope in hell

Wizard_King3540d ago

Ubi are one of the crappiest devs out there, if anyone has the potential to make a game so horridly coded that it could only push 720p on the PS4 it will be them.

TheCaptainKuchiki3540d ago (Edited 3540d ago )

I wish I could see his comment -_-

AngelicIceDiamond3541d ago (Edited 3541d ago )

I agree I'm pretty sure this is a mistake.

This will be cleared up and old news in no time.

Back-to-Back3541d ago

If it is true, it gives me a great excuse to not buy at launch.

700p3541d ago

if thats your excuse..GL WITH LIFE LOL

Angrymorgan3541d ago

I look at it differently.
If it did run at 720p, that tells me its a very demanding game and a true nxt gen experience.
The resources would obviously be used elsewhere and maybe it could be a better game for it. I like high res as much as the next guy, but its nothing to get hung up about IMO.

supergravity3541d ago

@Angry

I agree, I look at what Naughty Dog accomplished on PS3 @720p. Sure higher resolution is great, but it is definitely not the only metric.

warczar3541d ago (Edited 3541d ago )

You should not buy it because it represents everything that's F'ed up with the video game industry. It's an annual release tethered to some BS called uplay with overpriced DLC sprinkled in. If AC were a t.v. Show they'd be on like season 9, it's time to wrap that shit up and move on. When switching the gender of your main character becomes a big deal for your game you've run out of ideas.

oh what fuc!&^%$#k what wrong with those people i hope that is not true for god sick not cool ubisoft again..

Eonjay3540d ago (Edited 3540d ago )

"Same happened with Ultimate Spiderman 2, Trials Fusion."

Which both wound up being 1080p so its just a placeholder.

Mystery solved.

There is also this...

oODEADPOOLOo3540d ago

I hope so, pre-ordered it last night on the premise of 1080p/60fps.

assdan3540d ago

If that's true, what the Hell are they doing at Ubisoft?

VforVideogames3540d ago

All hell broke loose!!!! (sony fans)

MEsoJD3540d ago

If it runs at 60 fps, than I'd be cool.

otherZinc3540d ago (Edited 3540d ago )

Well, when a game isn't linear, it uses more resources. Also, if it's running
campaign co-op, it will really eat resources.

DarkOcelet3540d ago

Kinda hard to 720p and i dont care if it run on 10p potato mode quality , i would still play that :)

no_more_heroes3541d ago

Highly doubt that, for either console.

Kavorklestein3541d ago

Highly doubt it would really matter, considering how beautiful it looks, and with how much is on screen, and the amount of detail. But, yes, I'm thinking the rez will be higher than 720p.

iamnsuperman3541d ago

It would be a strange move for Ubisoft (this early in a console's life cycle)

extermin8or3541d ago (Edited 3541d ago )

Yeah and the psn store said Watch_Dogs ran 1080p 60fps preemtively so either its a mistake or sony are playing it safe as some people threw shit at them over that. But lets say this is true right? and it's only 720p on ps4 then what is it on Xbox one? 480p? I somehow doubt it-it'll be 900p or 1080p on both. Seeing as Watch_Dogs almost certainly suffered from developers being fragmented between console generations and last gen consoles clearly needing more work to get the game running decently on them this doesn'thave that issue so I expect at least 1080p 30fps on both consoles if not 60fps like I think AC4 runs, considering this is a new engine desgined for the new console hardware and better pc hardware optimisation should be less time consuming/easier as these consoles are closer to PC instead of having engines that needed to run well on very different architecture.

XStation3541d ago (Edited 3541d ago )

It must be a very high demanding game then. I doubt 720p though, if it's like Watch_Dogs then it'll at least be in 900p. I don't believe this is true anyways though, but prepare for the overreacting people.

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

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

Furesis515d 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.

DarXyde514d 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.

YourMommySpoils514d ago

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

Knightofelemia515d 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.

RaidenBlack515d ago

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

ToddlerBrain515d 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.

staticall514d 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.

anast514d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
