AC:U Community Developer - PC Framerate Not Locked, Official Specs Conservative On The GPU Side

Assassin’s Creed: Unity is almost upon us and after that whole ‘parity’ thing that happened with its console versions, a lot of gamers wondered whether Ubisoft would lock the framerate of the PC version (you know, for ‘cinematic’ purposes). As Gabriel Graziani, Community Developer working at Ubisoft Montreal, confirmed, the PC version will have an unlocked framerate.

4GB of VRAM? they mad or just stupid?

vishmarx3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

theyre just ubi?
why the hell is anyone surprised?

when have their programming skills been a thing to behold?
of the 3 900p/30fps i know of on ps4 , two of them are theirs

starchild3887d ago

Those two games are also some of the best looking multi platform games on the PS4, and they are massively open world.

CyrusLemont3887d ago

Don't they have like a 1000 people working on these games over 3 years?!? How could they not optimise for PC?! Ergh.

Pandamobile3887d ago

My guess is that since both consoles have 8 GB of RAM, they probably gave the game a 4 GB VRAM budget; and for some reason, there's apparently no way to drop down the VRAM usage (which makes no sense to us, but is probably some silly engine or production limitation).

ginsunuva3887d ago

VRAM isn't the same as regular RAM

NarooN3887d ago

@ginsunuva

I'm sure he knows that. But both consoles have one giant pool of RAM that is shared as system memory AND graphics memory. It's not the same as a PC, so the two can't be compared as easily.

But Ubi fails at coding properly pretty often anyway, so this game's requirements don't come as a shock.

camel_toad3887d ago

Is that a dedicated 4gb (as in 4gb on the vcard) or total available graphics memory they are referring to?

the_dark_one3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

ok let me get this straight... first they say that they are targeting 30fps on consoles because is more "cinematic" ok i get it no problem. but now on pc its unlocked FPS (which is great that it is unlocked) so that means that the "cinematic" feeling is gone from the pc version (im being sarcastic here, mind you) nevertheless we never know whats going to come out of their mouths

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3887d ago

More or less. They really should just not do interviews. Lol

hiredhelp3887d ago

“They’re final specs, although a bit conservative on the video card side because you NEED 4 gigs of VRAM.”

In a follow up, however, Graziani claimed that the official posted specs were legit and correct, meaning that 3GB of VRAM should be enough (as this is what Ubisoft recommended).

“The posted specs are correct. Sorry for the confusion, I was tweeting from home and didn’t have them in front of me.”

DevilOgreFish3887d ago

The specs are not clarified enough. are they insisting 4 GBs of Vram to game at 1080p with minimum settings? or recommended settings at 1080p?

Hopefully 4 GBs of Vram to game at 1080p (ultra settings) should be the case.

xTheMercenary_3887d ago

Terrible optimisations, what will they recommend in the next game probably a gpu that wont ever exist the titan z black ultra or something lol.

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

andy85464d ago (Edited 464d 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

Furesis942d 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.

DarXyde942d 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.

YourMommySpoils942d ago

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

Knightofelemia943d 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.

RaidenBlack942d ago

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

ToddlerBrain942d 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.

staticall942d 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.

anast942d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
