Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate is nearing its release on the PS4 and Xbox One, and a surge of information regarding the game is beginning to make its way onto the internet. As such, a new video featuring the first 40 minutes of gameplay from the PS4 version of the latest title in Ubisoft’s long standing franchise is now available.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate recently got a 60 FPS update, allowing the game to run at 4K and 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series S|X.
It is amazing what's available. Blue Dragon. Binary Domain. AVP. Chaos Theory. Lots of gems to be had.
There is no re-start option (that I can find). Since I've already finished the story years ago, I can't re-start it to check the new update.
Revisit the Assassin fantasy and take down your enemies more smoothly than ever on Assassin's Creed Syndicate’s free 60 FPS patch.
AC Unity next Please! despite the technical issues it was a good game even though it was too ambitious for PS4 and Xbox One the graphics hold up well. I would love to see it on PS5 and Xbox Series Consoles
YES, update Unity to 4K 60! I loved the French revolution setting, I even enjoyed playing CO-OP online, its too bad that they removed it from Syndicate, but the incredibly negative reaction from Unity (mostly because it was rushed out 4 - 6 months too soon), made Ubisoft think we didn't want the mode to come back.
Is Syndicate any good? I own them all since they end up in the bargain bin but I haven’t played one through since Black Flag
Personally, this is a "Not Bad" grade. The gang warfare part is fun. You should give it a go since you already own it.
The combat is fun, the setting is great and the characters are pretty good, I'd put it up just below black flag.
If you've read my comments here before, you know damn well that I'm always quick to mock Ubisoft, but in this case, its good news. Glad to see that Syndicate went from being almost broken on PS5 BC, to receiving a free 60 FPS update patch.
While this game did have grind elements, and skill trees, it wasn't exhaustively grindy like the later games would end up being. The London setting was amazing, too, and the soundtrack by Austin Wintory was fantastic. I really liked playing as a brother and sister duo as well.
It was a good game, and the last one in the series I truly enjoyed.
Why are the patch sizes so different between Xbox Series and PlayStation 5? Its a 35 GBs difference.
Patch notes:
Xbox (~31.8 GB)
Xbox Series X
4K resolution at 60 fps
Xbox Series S
1080p resolution at 60 fps
PlayStation (~0.75 GB)
PS5 and PS5 Pro
1080p resolution at 60 fps
4K resolution at 60 fps
The PS5 Pro patch was only 171 MBs, so its even smaller than Ubisoft's claim of 0.75 GB.
Some people hypothesized that the PlayStation exclusive content (Darwin and Dickens missions) would be coming to Xbox for the first time with the new patch, but it wasn't added. A patch this large is clearly redownloading the entire game all over again, the dev team made that choice for a reason, we just don't know what that reason is.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is free on PC when you have a Ubisoft Connect account until December 6th, 2023.
I loved Syndicate! I played this game mostly as Evie because of her stealth abilities and loved using a cane sword.
A couple of things of note here:
The modern day is Unity-esque but seems to be somewhat
thought out in terms of actual story line.
That's a hell of an opening monologue by the Indian guy.
Of course the people that actually get the game early have trouble in goddamn learning level.
The Framerate is smooth and the game is noticeably less blurry than the E3 previews.
Lighting is second to none and it's clear in my mind global illumination has survived the Unity fallout. http://i.imgur.com/wxxLIpr....
Characters seem much more likeable
The backstory story and plot are intriguing for the first time since 3
The game has a running start, bucking the trend of origin stories
What's up with the resolution for PS4 or Xbox One? I cannot find anything about it. Is it 900p or native 1080p this time? Framerate is 30FPS. Anyone some information?
I'll miss this one.And the location London-Paris is soo boring
Looks good. Probably going to pick this up.
I love that the present-day story is making a comeback. And I hope it turns out as a well-thought plot.
