Good thing is that it is at least possible to fix on the ps3 unlike the other console....

SabreMan6670d ago

whats it got to do with Sony ??

it's the game developers who issue game patches not Sony unless Sony have developed it

v1c1ous6670d ago

so patches to games are ps3 exclusive?

hahaha oh wow

Hugh Hefner6670d ago

360 version doesn't require a patch, that's the difference.

Skerj6670d ago

@Hugh

And it's STILL just as effin buggy as the PS3 version, flamewar denied.

Hugh Hefner6670d ago

From several different impressions, the 360 version doesn't have nearly the framerate problems and constant freezing that the PS3 one has. By the way, gamesR4fun tried to start the flamewar not me.

Snukadaman6670d ago (Edited 6670d ago )

If that was the case madden 08 would of been patched long time ago am I right??You need more memory for framerate problems right....?? other things like glitches going through mountains on the 360 and that 2 character glitch can be fixed. But still have not experienced any of those problems.

I have read infinity ward did alot of tricks with the memory right...so using them as the poster child for making great games on the ps3 fails because while those may be the minority, there are a majority of games on ps3 with problems.

icechai6670d ago

@1.6 there are ways to patch, just think of it like a modified autoexec.cfg for any of Valve's PC games. You just need to tell the game to be more optimized for your type of system, and possibly increase the multi-core usage or the hard drive usage.

Irving6670d ago (Edited 6670d ago )

@1.6, lol so you are saying framerate problems are due to lack of memory on PS3? CoD4 and Uncharted would like to visit you this weekend then ;)

Skerj6670d ago (Edited 6670d ago )

@Hugh

Yeah well I own both and I've completed it very much so on the 360 (profile shows gamertag with 815 AC points) and I can tell you firsthand that they're both JUST AS BUGGY. Anyone who says one system's bugs are greater than the other is uninformed. It's not the PS3 or 360s fault, it's Ubi's for rushing through the QA process.

gamesR4fun6670d ago (Edited 6670d ago )

Its true tho because the ps3 has a hd standard and games are made to be installed on it (just like a pc) it can get patched...
Has for this being a ps3 only issue LOL look I own both machines played it on both and the 360 version is glitchier imo
On the ps3 its frozen about 4 times in about 20/h of gameplay my dad wont play his 360 version cause it freezes and glitches too much. Got the game off him put it in my 360 and lo and behold not only is it more prone to freezing but Im seeing more clipping frame drops and the AI's getting stuck on ladders etc etc...
So ya whatever you fanboys say is BS you cant have a real look at the games and be impartial about the facts cause you got a 360 fever. Just like when I was saying ME had some major issues fanbots were all like no it aint so well try youtube now that its out... Just like i said major Frame rate issues insane loads and crashes.... (tho it never really crashed on me just slowed down so bad I had to reboot)
Stupid thing is that I dont hate teh 360 I bought it because it has some great games. Just suffers from too many blind fanboys who should be more concerned with the quality of their games than defending a piece of hardware at Ng4... Fact is if we has consumers accept this kind of half finished crap soon well be right out of playable games...

Mofos didn't test the game before they release ?

DolphGB6670d ago

Whilst you wait for the patch, signing out of the PSN before playing seems to provide stability. Have played for hours when signed out with no issues...

Swatfish6670d ago

bad work from Jades team on ps3 version but a patch sounds fair

zerolinkgannon6670d ago (Edited 6670d ago )

Im still wondering how this game got its 10 of out 10's with so many problems..

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

lukasmain141d ago

"Ubisoft was uncomfortable with the backlash surrounding Assassin's Creed Shadows' Black samurai protagonist and concerned that the current political climate in America was too fraught."

They are so stupid. There was never a racist backlash to a black protagonist in Assassin's Creed, there was just a backlash because you wanted to have a 7foot black Samurai running around in ancient Japan when you should have had a Japanese local. (I haven't played the game yet, but I plan on it after I finish Ghost Of Yotei)

An Assassin's Creed based just after the American Civil War about a former slave being an Assassin and fight the KKK would have been freakin' EPIC. Something different story-wise in the Assassin's Creed universe. It would have been awesome. When I originaly read this rumor, I felt a bit of a gut punch because that is a game I would have loved to have played. Then I rolled my eyes when I read about Ubisoft's concerns. What a joke.

Were you worried of the fact that the early members of the KKK (after the Civil War) were predominantly Southern Democrats? Is that it? Im joking. But having a Black protagonist, WHERE IT MAKES SENSE, like after the Civl War, is no problem whatsoever. It's a slice from another time that I can't remember playing a game like that before. A former Black slave?. The game could have been really cool. I'm bummed they won't be making this one.

There is nothing “EPIC” about assassins creed dude…

lukasmain140d ago

Well THIS idea for a game could have been. I mean I take your point. I've always been a sucker for Platinuming Assassin Creed games. I do them all, but NONE of them have ever been my GOTY. They're more like a guilty pleasure, similar to the Far Cry games

_Decadent_Descent140d ago

"But having a Black protagonist, WHERE IT MAKES SENSE"

You are aware that Yasuke was a real African samurai in Japan, no? How is a telling of his story (albeit a fantastical one) not "where it makes sense"?

FinalFantasyFanatic139d ago

I honestly think the concept of this game really could have worked, having said that, I don't trust Ubisoft to actually execute it in a satisfying way.

senorfartcushion139d ago

There was a backlash.

Americans are very vocal online and now there are police forces hunting foreign-looking people in the streets to deport them - even if they are actual Americans.

Companies are worried about selling “wokeness” to this population of 350+ million.

Then there are countries that are starting to move away from wokeness, to a more racially exclusive “whites only” traditional, like Poland, The UK and The Netherlands.

That’s a lot of sales, and though nations are becoming racist, it’s clear that big corporations only care about money and will sell what they think those countries will accept.

chrisx139d ago

Saying there was never a racist backlash just shows how ignorant you are.

lukasmain139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

It wasn't a racist backlash. Maybe a few poeple, but the overwhleming majority was not a racist backlash. You thinking there was just shows how ridiculous you are and how warped your mind is.

Running around and killing the KKK and former confederates has been done to great effect in Red Dead Redemption 2.

It would be fun to play that with historical accuracy while debunking the lost cause mythos.

Such a wonderfully ripe opportunity. What a shame.

wesnytsfs140d ago

It was a blast in Mafia 3 taking out those racist F#cks.

cbuc1125139d ago

I approve this message!👍

isarai140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

We've had black protagonists before in ac and it wasn't a problem, Bayek, Adéwalé, Aveline, the assassin has always represented the setting they're in, that's why there was so much backlash for shadows, people have been waiting since the first game! for Japan to be represented by some awesome japanese samurai or ninja, and instead we get an african samurai? With the tease for this game starting with the ending of the very first game, and people begging for it for so long, success was handed to them on a silver platter and they decided to pick this one of all the entries to change the formula, it was a dumb move.

Was there a bunch of racist buttholes shouting? absolutely, but a lot of fans complaining were just disappointed to see them finally take on japan only for the protagonist to not even remotely following the same type of lead as LITERALLY EVERY OTHER AC GAME EVER RELEASED!

Couldn't care less about him being black, i always liked yasuke as a mysterious historic figure, and i love him in other media like the anime(underrated soundtrack btw), Samurai Warriors, nioh, etc, but this was a waste of the character imo.

This just screams tone deaf, just like their entire marketing campaign for this game. Whatever! 🤷‍♂️ I got Ghost of Tsushima/yotei now to fill that void

Inverno140d ago

I'm all for people expressing their views and I will defend everyone's right to do so. But I firmly believe that society needs to progress and be more accepting/tolerant and not be so obsessed with how others live their life's because that truth is it isn't affecting your personal life in a negative way, you just think it is. With that said, just as it was necessary to push back on all the annoying sjw stuff we can't forget to push back on all the ignorance coming from the opposite extreme. F*** the KKK and that nazi ish, I say make the game and let it offend em!

-Foxtrot140d ago

Wouldn’t this have made more sense story and setting wise than having a black slave turned Samurai in ancient Japan.

I’d rather have seen this story played out.

-Foxtrot140d ago

But if you had to choose, this idea should have been first

Notellin139d ago

Because we aren't getting both now and that's what is being discussed. Are you able to read and comprehend the words?

ravens52139d ago

Can you read Notellin? "I’d rather have seen this story played out." I asked Foxtrot a question, not you, don't look silly.

FinalFantasyFanatic139d ago

They should have just done this game instead of AC Japan, it would have been receieved much better.

ravens52139d ago

They should've just done both and not change their artistic ideas for losers that talk about Yasuke being in the game more than actual Japanese people. This wasnt the only piece of media he's been in
