Indeed. :joker:

Although the dig is rather irrelevant in a way, as it's a it's a cross gen game compared to current gen only.

The irony of EA, though. :laugh:

After having Driveclub for a few days, I feel cheated, the game has the depth of a puddle.

The customisation is limited to the paint job your car has, you can not modify your car, you cannot buy cars, you earn them by levelling up, the career is boring, it is a bunch of challenges and there's really not that many places to race in, I wish I'd have just waited for Project Cars.

Not surprised to hear that. Forza killer my arse.

Forza definately sounds like the superior game. I hope Project Cars is better.

One of the supposed developers of AC, willing to give proof he's on the development team, emailed GiantBomb and their Bombcast covered it. Below is what was said...

Quote:

"I'm happy to enlighten you guys because way too much bull**** about 1080p making a difference is being thrown around. If the game is as pretty and fun as ours will be, who cares? Getting this game to 900p was a BITCH.

The game is so huge in terms of rendering that it took months to get it to 720p at 30fps. The game was 9fps 9 months ago. We only achieved 900p at 30fps weeks ago.

The PS4 couldn't handle 1080p 30fps for our game, whatever people, or Sony and Microsoft say. Yes, we have a deal with Microsoft, and yes we don't want people fighting over it, but with all the recent concessions from Microsoft, backing out of CPU reservations not once, but twice, you're talking about a 1 or 2 fps difference between the two consoles.

So yes, locking the framerate is a conscious decision to keep people bull****ing, but that doesn't seem to have worked in the end. Even if Ubi has deals, the dev team members are proud, and want the best performance out of every console out there. What's hard is not getting the game to render at this point, it's making everything else in the game work at the same level of performance we designed from the start for the graphics.

By the amount of content and NPCs in the game, from someone who witnessed optimization for lots of Ubisoft games in the past, this is crazily optimized for such a young generation of consoles. This really is about to define a next gen like no other game before. Mordor has next gen system and gameplay, but not graphics like Unity does. The proof comes in that game being cross gen.

Our producer (Vincent) saying we're bound with AI by the CPU is right, but not entirely. Consider this, they started this game so early for next gen, MS and Sony wanted to push graphics first, so that's what we did. I believe 50% of the CPU is dedicated to helping the rendering by processing pre-packaged information, and in our case, much like Unreal 4, baked global illumination lighting.

The result is amazing graphically, the depth of field and lighting effects are beyond anything you've seen on the market, and even may surpass Infamous and others. Because of this I think the build is a full 50gigs, filling the bluray to the edge, and nearly half of that is lighting data."

If real, Ubisoft's year has been nothing short of truly amazing in terms of pissing people off.

Sounds like someone trying to stir it, tbh.

New PS update coming soon! Themes!

It made things worse. As the resolution is dictated by the GPU. Then they had devs go to a school and say Sony and MS are telling them to limit PC games to 30FPS.

This year is going terribly for them. :joker:

Pleased about the themes. About time you could jazz up that awful thing. USB Music is a nice addition, although being able to put it on the console would of been sweeter.

A Playstation conference!

Youtube video

Excited about the update, when's it happening? And also pleasantly surprised to see the staff of that blog being vocally supportive of video files being used as well... it's a nightmare having to use the PS3 for that at the moment because that isn't connected via HDMI :( But knowing my luck these 'staff' have no real sway :laugh:

The update is coming on the 28th!

Shall hopefully have mine in a couple of weeks :dance:

Thank god they finally added pause/resume downloads!

about ****ing time :joker:

They need to fix how bloody long it takes to check your messages, take ages for them to load

At last you can pause downloads. Such a basic feature yet its taken nearly a year to integrate it. :conf: It was feeling like this generation's In game XMB debacle. Now I hope for Sony to rebuild the OS from the ground up.

This also. It's either the wank OS or the servers. Either way it needs fixing.

Anyone pre-ordered The new Dragon-Age?

I still want to be able to bloody know every time a friend signs in, there should at least be an option to have it on or off

I find they load instantly when I connect wired, but it's annoying how long it takes wireless.

A notification when someone signs in and out like on PS3 is a must though.

Updated the firmware all I get is error after error and store maintenance bollocks. Pathetic as always.

Not had an issue with anything myself.

Installed and everything, but having problems connecting to PSN :/

I went for the lovely yellow theme fyi.

Leaked PS4 screenshots of AC.

Ubisoft strike again. Fooking laughable. :joker:

Ubisoft have fallen so far, cba with their games anymore.

Inevitable that there'd be some sort of catch after that E3 footage. Once again it seems it was done on a high end PC and passed off as console footage.
