That sucks. But what about the frame rate?

Letthewookiewin3839d ago

Frame rates a bit better on PS4 but the NPC pop in and texture stream for their clothes is horrible. I walk around and everyone looks like their glitching.

Pintheshadows3839d ago

Is it worse than it was as I already found it to be pretty bad? People suddenly changing clothing or even gender about a foot away from me and all that.

DanielEndurance3839d ago

Omfg, this is never gonna end...

fallacious3839d ago

They keep coming up with bug fixes that creates new bugs. It's a never ending loop, a snake that eats its own tail.

This is horrible news reporting at it's finest. I have the game and play it a LOT. Npc pop-in is reduced, heavily. Is it gone, no but it happens VERY rarely now. I just played 2 hours of the game and saw 0 npcs popping in.

typittt693839d ago

Same here. They did a great job on the patch

BuLLDoG9093839d ago

Popin is still there after the patch. If you look for it, its always going on in the distance, sometimes right beside you. i dont think theres been any improvement with it. but the framerate is a bit better.

JWiLL5523839d ago

They should just reduce the number of NPCs period.

Yeah it looks cool...but 75% would still be plenty and could help the frame rate substantially.

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

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

Furesis943d 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.

RaidenBlack943d ago

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

ToddlerBrain943d 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.
