Ubisoft - Mantle-like Performance Boost To All Platforms Thanks To New Renderer Architecture In ACU

Yeah, very cool if true. But if you read the article ubisoft didn't actually say that the gains are equal to Mantle, they said they drastically reduced draw calls to the driver which is what Mantle and directX12 do. They didn't say the gains are necessarily equal though.

Still, as long as I can run it as well as I run AC4 I'll be happy. The game looks very impressive.

I don't believe nothing they say anymore.

bennissimo3523d ago

So... you believe everything they say from now on?

user56695103523d ago

They can tell me a bear sh!ts in the woods I still wouldn't believe them.

brish3523d ago

You used a double negative.

Saying "I don't believe anything they say anymore" would means you don't believe anything they say. If you said "I believe nothing they say anymore" also means you don't believe anything they say.

Using the double negative "I don't believe nothing they say anymore" means you believe everything they say.

I don't disagree with nothing he said.

Parity, Parity and more parity :)

Godz Kastro3523d ago (Edited 3523d ago )

Dude, you now how ignorant those Parity comments make people look? It's either that or Sony is allowing devs to roll over them....decide?

memots3523d ago

@Godz Kastro

sorry i forgot to put /s at the end.
I am making fun of it.

lazyboyblue3523d ago

I'll believe it when I play it.

AndrewLB3523d ago

Considering Ubisoft said the exact same thing regarding Assassins Creed: Black Flag.... i don't believe a word they say.

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

andy8536d ago (Edited 36d ago )

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

Five small but brilliant maps in games

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

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

Furesis514d 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.

Knightofelemia514d 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.

RaidenBlack514d ago

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

ToddlerBrain514d 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.
