nothing new just about any game can run at 120fps or above on PC. Any game not artificially limited.

abzdine4167d ago

wasn't there an article saying that it runs above 60fps on PS4?

ABizzel14167d ago

@abzdine

The multiplayer is suppose to fun at 60fps on PS4 and XBO, the single player at 30fps.

kB04167d ago (Edited 4167d ago )

Yes absolutely on PC if you plan on staring in 1 area without movement.

This is the worst piece of port I've seen since Splinter Cell conviction.

I'm so glad I bought BF4 on pc and bought this on ps4 (with a pirated pc version).

Ubisoft should outsource their PC ports, I gaurantee you the outsourcing would yield better ports than these PC noobs.

AC 3 ran 10x's better. I can even max out BF 4 at 60+ fps with dips to 40s in heavy action both online and single player. With this. I'l be doing 60+ fps...then it will drop to 22 randomly when staring somewhere...and it sits there...then I look at a different area with the same amount of detail or even more and it will be 60 fps...so stupid.

GamerXD4165d ago

Dude, seriously, you sound stupid.

kB04165d ago

The truth does always sound stupid because people can't accept it.

It's a bad port no argument.

Snookies124167d ago

I bet that looks sexy when running at max settings...

CGI-Quality4167d ago

It does, but to be honest, I have both the PC and PS4 versions and I must admit, the latter holds up quite well. It's just that the PC version runs at 62.5fps, vs the PS4's 30fps, and that's where you really see the difference. The PC also enjoys better soft shadows and God-rays.

chaldo4167d ago

dont forget the foliage and everything else in that environment looks damn well pretty.

RedDeadLB4167d ago (Edited 4167d ago )

I run from 35 - 60fps on a HD7850 without Soft Shadows and the game looks fantastic! Though I wish I had a more stable framerate.. A stable 30 > 30-60 when it comes to games like AC.

If I ever get a PS4 I'll get the game again for it. It's amazing.

r214167d ago

Would the human eye even be capable of seeing 120FPS?

Gabenbrah4167d ago

Easily, I can see 120 FPS on my PC with no problem.

MegaRay4167d ago

You never had a gaming pc, I see.

Me neither x)

Humans don't see in FPS, and it's been proven that we can perceive up to 260hz at least (I believe the test didn't go any higher in that case).

SonyNGP4167d ago

Providing that you've got the right equipment (in this case, a 120hz monitor). Then yes, and it's quite the differene.

Jovanian 4167d ago

Nope, once something passes the threshold of 120 fps, the screen vanishes

/sarcasm

Yes you can see 120fps. And yes you can perceive a difference

Pintheshadows4167d ago (Edited 4167d ago )

It is actually more in how the game feels rather than it being something you see visually. Definitely makes a noticable difference to playing a game. I always find that with fps though. It changes how the game is fundamentally.

Need a good monitor though.

ABizzel14167d ago

@r21

Yes, but the higher you go pass 60 the less you begin to notice. All you perceive is the image is running very smooth.

kB04167d ago

Only if your monitor supports 120 hz, if not your only seeing 60 fps being transmitted on a 60 hz monitor.

You could try overclocking your monitor.

OverPaperSkies4167d ago

120hz is smooth going. But it doesn't mean you'll hit 120fps. I can't explain
the technical term... Sorry.

But I couldnt go back to 60hz on pc. 120hz is stutter free and it allows you to turn off vsync in some cases which can improve performance. (Nvidia user)

MadLad4167d ago

It really is a nice change, though I don't use it for everything.
I have a 60hz, Ultra-Wide 1440p monitor for when I want the better visual experience and I recently purchased the new BenQ 120hz display for anything competitive.

Rzep4167d ago

Where did this whole people can't see more than X fps thing start I mean come on...Next people will be asking "why do we need FOV higher than 65, can humans even see more than that?"

If some genius actually does show up and ask the second question, the human fov is in the range of 200 degrees.

andrewer4167d ago

Some Sony fanboys think that if it is better, and not available in PSX, it should actually not have a difference, and then the ignorance starts going wild...already gave up on people comparing RAM with VRAM, without actually knowing anything, because of PS4...it looks like FPS is going to be another thing to them to talk randomly.

Report: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake Will Be More Than a Visual Upgrade, New Systems Mentioned

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake looks to be all but confirmed, with some first official details being shared online.

-Foxtrot99d ago

Black Flags is great and all but they really should have remade the first game.

Like I said Black Flags is a fantastic pirate game but it's where, for me anyway, it started to drift away from it's Assassin roots and felt like a new IP they were too scared to do without something attached. It's funny because they could have called this Skull and Bones back then or just "Black Flags and it would have done well enough to start a new IP for them. Sometimes I felt Black Flags was held back in some places because it was attached to AC lore, if it was a new IP it would have been fun to continue Edwards adventures in multiple games as he was a really good characters.

RaidenBlack99d ago

Altair's AC1 deserves more of a reimagining than a straight remake ... The game's got pacing issue and is comparatively barren especially since the parkour ability surprise has worn of.

VenomUK98d ago

I loved Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and so did many millions of other people. Ubisoft intentionally reduced the AC element so it was mostly a pirate game that had the broadest appeal.

Ubisoft should not have wasted time making the online Skull & Bones or this remake - it should’ve just made a new standalone single player pirate game that could become a franchise.

anast98d ago

They are doing this because they just have to reskin Odyssey. The first one would take an actual ground up effort.

RaidenBlack98d ago

Odyssey? But that's totally different structure from the pre-Origins AC palette i.e of AC4 in this case.
That'd mean the AC4 Remake would be more akin to the RPG-ACs, which Black Flag was not and I'd definitely dont want that from the remake.
I am skeptical but am not totally dismissing the ^idea either, coz remakes like FF7 have totally reimagined the base game.
IF that's what they end up doing, then please Ubi, dont remake the other classical ACs. I want more of a modern graphics overhaul with some QoL changes, like the MGS Delta or RE4, than total reimagining.

anast98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

They are going to repurpose Odyssey's water environments, islands, and a big part of the animations from the naval stuff.

I don't think they will do a FF7, it's not how they operate. But if they do, I'm with you. I would love to see those games too.

vTuro2498d ago

I had fun with the first game and I loved the setting, but holy shit was it repetitive. I'd be down for a remake but only if they seriously adress that part of the game.

Chard98d ago

I agree to the extent that I want a pirate game uninterrupted by periodic visits to the modern day. Hopefully the remake fixes that

Knightofelemia99d ago

I like Black Flag but I also liked Rogue too bad it's not a two for one deal.

RaidenBlack99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

Wish they remade ACII before Black Flag ... or even re-imagined AC1

RaidenBlack98d ago

ACII >>> AC4. ~ Its the best 'AC' game. Black Flag was a good pirate game, Odyssey is a good mythological RPG game. But are not better 'AC' game.

ReidoN798d ago

I never put anywhere near enough into Black Flag when it first launched.

Looking forward to giving it another go when the remake launches.

blackblades98d ago

They milking the F outta this franchise

Profchaos98d ago

It's the only thing keeping the lights on at ubi well AC and siege ofcourse.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake is Closer Than You Think

Chocoburger199d ago

This game is too new to receive a remake. Its also playable on current Xbox and PlayStation platforms. Assassin's Creed needs a break, not another release, come up with something new, and different, without grinding.

Zombieburger638199d ago

This was their last good game and everything else they’ve churned out is just garbage. It makes sense but it shows how desperate they are.

outsider1624198d ago

What about mirage. Heard it went back to its roots...although the combat was a bit wonky

glennhkboy198d ago

AC Origin was Ubisoft's last great game.

bababooiy199d ago

There hasnt been a AC game in 4 years, Valhalla came out in 2020. As much as im not a fan of Ubi they kinda did do what people asked in this case and give the franchise a break.

MDTunkown199d ago

7th gen games still look good and black flag is the best looking one. They better should had remastered first game

Chocoburger199d ago (Edited 199d ago )

Shezgear already corrected you, Mirage came out after Valhalla. There's such a flood of AC releases that its hard to keep track of them.

Either way, BF doesn't need a remake yet. The first game needs it more, but I'd rather have a cell-shaded Prince of Persia 2008 sequel. Unfortunately we'll never see another entry like that.

Extermin8or3_198d ago

@chocoburger yeah but why wont we see a sequel to that prince of Persian game which I for one thought was excellent. Because the game failed and didn't sell well. So who's fault is it that we won't see a sequel? Gamers that didn't buy it. Why do they make so many assassin's creed games? Because they all sell well.

Demetrius199d ago

Ubisoft doesnt believe in breaks or a thoroughly crafted game on the level of red dead 2, last of us, ghost of tsushima and the sequel of that lmao. They release small ass updates that tweak fix instead of actually supporting to release a fat update like cyberpunk 2.0 smh its ubi fault they're in bullshhi, I still think they'll be aite. Still alot of damage done tho

Exvalos199d ago

To new? Black flag is a 360 ps3 title......

Popsicle199d ago (Edited 199d ago )

It was a cross gen launch. I only ever played it on my launch PS4. Black Flag is my favorite AC game, but it doesn’t need a remake. The PS4 version still holds up with respect to graphics and gameplay. Would prefer a fresh experience that isn’t tied to a tired franchise.

Black Flag is a great game, but gaming needs to move forward with new ideas, mechanics, gameplay, etc. These types of remakes are partly the reason why Gen 9 feels lackluster when compared to previous generational leaps.

Chocoburger198d ago

Popsicle said everything I was going to say. Its too new for a remake. Play it right now on PC / PS4 / PS5 / XBO / XBSS.

There are others games that could use a remake, or simply a brand new (not AC) game.

RaidenBlack199d ago

well ... old school AC fans do, after seeing what Ubi ballooned the franchise into ...
but I'd have accepted more if they picked AC2 instead...

JL2930196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

Hopefully they remake the gameplay as well, even at the time it was one of the most boring game I've ever played. AC2 was far superior.

SDuck199d ago

no thank you. I couldn't care less for any new Ubisoft game right now. And it's not like that game needs a remake anyways

gold_drake199d ago

i dont understand why we need a remake of a late ps4 game.

gold_drake198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

there was a playstation 4 version too of it tho no?

the point stands tho.

andy85199d ago

Late PS4? This came out before the PS4 was even released

Pyrofire95198d ago

it doesn't stand. it was a PS3 game that had a port with a small visual bump. If you wanna make a point make it something else.
