Assassin's Creed Unity Patch 4: Does It Improve Performance On the PS4?

The game runs much smoother and there is less stuttering but there are still issues.

This comparison is pretty worthless without a frame counter

The frame rate and other details have been mentioned in the article itself.

Edit: Added as annotations.

I'll just wait for Digital Foundry's analysis

Lol. Is this what everyone is saying about broken? Broken as in unplayable? This? Like it runs a little under 30 fps? Ok, 25 fps can be annoying, its average is 27 (so it says). Average on busy streets or at all times while playing most of the game (over 5 hours of it)? The game annoyed me when I first got it but open your eyes people, this game looks great!! And its a good if not great game! Look at it! You're arguing about a few frames.. I don't understand how you still can't just enjoy this game at this point. I feel people are stuck in their anger and they just won't let go. I can name hundreds of actually broken games. This does not look like one.

lsujester4164d ago

While it's not unplayable, my version skipped throughout a lot of the cutscenes and froze a few times in transitions. Combine that with the below 30 framerate and it's annoying enough that while I technically CAN play it, it's just not worth it when there are much better experiences out right now.

@lsujester

Sorry to hear, mate. I understand your level of enjoyment was compromised. The bugs you mention do sound frustrating. I haven't had any of these major bugs. I wonder if you've linked your Uplay account? I heard that its part of it. I personally haven't. Hopefully they fix these bugs that happen to players.

I just didn't see the bugs in the video and argued from the point that people were complaining how the game needed to run smoother than a frame rate and some NPCs that occasionally pop in and some pop in textures. I'd love it to be more seemless but with the amount of detail that we've been given I'm surprised this is even possible. Add to that the experience I had with GTA in the past years was far worse.

lsujester4164d ago

I don't remember if it was or not, I may try playing with it offline, if possible. Maybe that will help.

MadLad4164d ago

Standards are getting pretty low around here, no offense. I barely want to touch anything running thirty. I am accustomed to more, and the experience is actually bothersome because of it. If you're moving from the standard set by the end of last generation, then it's probably not a huge downgrade, but thirty is the absolute bare minimum before sluggishness turns into actually visually seeing and feeling the pauses between frames.
That is rather broken, from my point of view.

Gotta love how it adds frames by removing citizens in most parts.. There's less people moving about since the patch it seems. They be like.. How can we get the frames up and do the smallest amount of work possible?? I know CUT CONTENT! Ubisoft are the new EA no doubt about it.

gamingbolt blows. view it on my phone it loads a blank page, on my laptop it's an ad that won't close.

frostypants4164d ago

Yeah, their site is the worst kind of ad spamming. Note to GamingBolt: you don't need to sell every square inch of your site to ad placements. Seriously, you must spend more time in ad server settings than on content. Pump the brakes...

SPAM-FRITTER-1234164d ago

No adverst for me. Are you using adblocker or anything.

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen4165d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

I don't see any difference. Does anyone see the difference? *chuckle*

How many patches is that for this game now? 7 or 8? That has to be a new record.

ZombieKiller4164d ago

Doesn't matter I sold it at this point as I should have never bought it.

Ubisoft is becoming the new Activision.

thekhurg4164d ago

I tried playing the game last night. It crashes every time I try to jump out of the window at the prison.

Excellent gaming experience.

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

andy85792d ago (Edited 792d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate
