'Assassin's Creed Unity' Vs 'The Witcher 3'

Forbes writes- "The problem with delays, however, is that they can look bad. Even if we acknowledge, as consumers, that a game being pushed back might be a good thing in the end, it can be troubling to skittish investors."

Poor Witcher, having to share title with Assassin's Greed: Glitch

The Witcher 3 vs 'The Glitcher 24'

decrypt3575d ago (Edited 3575d ago )

How do we know Witcher 3 wont be dipping into the teens on console too?

So will you then rephrase this "glitch 3 vs glitch 24"?

AC Unity is a dam awesome looking game, consoles just arent up to it.

Check the benchmark reviews most people are playing AC Unity at 60fps on GPUs like GTX 780 mostly high settings.

Lower end Pcs with 600 series GPUs can play this 30fps with medium settings. This is exactly what happens when a developer makes a game that pushes graphics.

I am personally playing AC Unity at 5760 * 1080p Ultra settings and i get between 80 - 120 fps. Sure i have a monster rig. But this just goes to show you the game is not broken. It works scales according to your hardware. Console hardware just happens to be too weak.

Witcher 3 just like AC unity will be a game that pushes graphics, CD project already came out with a statement saying they will try make this 30fps on console. Generally when devs come out with such statements it means hardware is under powered. There is no such thing as 30fps locked unless the hardware is powerful enough. AC unity having dips just shows weak console hardware.

"AC Unity is a dam awesome looking game, consoles just arent up to it."

Even some high end PCs can't even run it smoothly. Its not because those PCs are too weak to run the game its just that Ubisoft did a horrible job with the programming. They said this themselves and I believe their word takes priority over yours.

Watch how Project Red does a better job than Ubisoft with the Witcher 3.

No it's not the consoles fault. It's poor optimization on Ubisofts part.

Perjoss3575d ago

Isn't this a bit like comparing a fine wine to a cheap beer?

As the article notes, Ubisoft stock didn't take the big hit it took when it delayed games; but the long term hit to the Assassin's Creed series is likely to be far greater. The thing is, investors don't look long term much anymore, it's all about quick trading (sometimes in seconds, done via computers using algorithms, under no human being's control) rather than looking at long term outcomes. A smart company will ignore what the stock does, and instead look at what is best for profits long term, a dumb company will focus on stock price and eventually perish or diminish until they are smart again.

This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.

Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.

Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games

Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.

Einhander197240d ago

At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.

This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies

Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.

TheEroica39d ago

14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.

seanpitt2340d ago (Edited 40d ago )

They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..

How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on

Einhander197240d ago

PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.

And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.

Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.

crazyCoconuts40d ago

Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.

darthv7240d ago

For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.

VersusDMC40d ago

Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.

Becuzisaid40d ago

I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.

pwnmaster300040d ago

I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did

Deeeeznuuuts40d ago

Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!
