That makes two of us.

You can definitely tell the difference between 30 and 60. Just try playing Dead Space 3 with Vsync on.

30 -> 60 -> 120

Each step is an easily perceptible improvement.
With displays that fill more of your field of view the difference is even more noticeable. Faster on-screen movement also favours higher framerates.

240 fps and even higher would still be beneficial for VR, fast paced games and very large screens.

Movies benefit from higher framerates as well.

On-topic AC: Unity: I hope they don’t do something really silly like capping the PC version at 30fps.

Rumor: Assassin’s Creed Unity on PC to be Locked at 30 FPS, Too:

Ugh, well that’s fucking perfect.

Kairouseki · November 25, 2018, 4:16am

When are devs going to stop trying to assassinate 60 fps and higher?

Dreadmoth · August 11, 2020, 11:09am

:hmph:

Was bad enough that 2 and 4 (not sure about 3) were capped at ~62fps.

That sound like bullshit to me, specially coming from that sorry excuse for a subreddit.

HaarWavelet · November 25, 2018, 4:16am

Well, it is not the first game to be capped at 30 frames per second for PC. Maybe there is something magical in the game that will make up for the strange limitation. Like a magical hovercraft!

JeffMOD · August 11, 2020, 11:09am

I can find of see why they’d feel the need to cap the framerate considering the massive crowds in the game, and not wanting to risk noticeable slowdown from ~60 to ~30 in high-population areas.
But really, people should be allowed to render as many damn frames per second as they want, assuming their hardware can do it. There should at the very least be an “uncap” option. I mean, it’s not like the engine’s logic is tied to the framerate, right?

…Right?

Kairouseki · November 25, 2018, 4:17am

They shouldn’t feel the need to cap the framerate on PC. It should be uncapped by default. It’s possible the new engine (is ACV on a new engine?) does tie everything to framerate. People really need to stop doing that in 2014.

Look at this what I found on FP.

“I’m happy to enlighten you guys because way too much bullshit 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 bullshiting, 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.”

What a fucking joke.

Yeah you can tell they’re not even trying to optimse the game at all. I can’t say I’m that surprised really.

Dreadmoth · November 25, 2018, 4:17am

Recommended specs: fair enough

Minimum specs: …

garrthbarrttinn · November 25, 2018, 4:17am

I get the feeling Ubisoft doesn’t even like money these days…they fucked up pretty hard with Watch Dogs and then responded to their angry fanbase by, well, doing it all over again and saying “See? I didn’t fuck up, it was on purpose the whole time!”

“FPS is not locked on PC.”

Glad that rumour was false.

EDIT: Not capped at 62fps like Black Flag was - awesome.

bump
So, the game seems to be available in at least some countries now.
