'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."

The Witcher 3 vs 'The Glitcher 24'

decrypt4186d ago (Edited 4186d 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.

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.

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.

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.

Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.

Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂

Loktai67d ago

Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.
