Assassin’s Creed Unity Is Targetting 1080p/60fps On PS4 And Xbox One

GamingBolt caught up with Bruno St. Andre who is the level designer of Assassin’s Creed Unity. Although at first, Bruno was not sure what the resolution and frame rate targets were, but he eventually revealed to GamingBolt that they are indeed targeting 1080p resolution and 60fps for both consoles. It will be interesting to see whether they will be able to deliver on this promise as the game only has a few months remaining before its October launch. Last year’s Assassin’s Creed Black Flag managed to reach 1080p on the PlayStation 4 via a patch and was sub 1080p on the Xbox One. So may be the latest SDK update will help matters for the Xbox One version.

Great News

These consoles need to get better, I actually want something to hit the 240hz on my TV without input lag and tricks.

Your TV displaying 240Hz is doing an interpolation to make those extra refreshes out of the existing/source frames. So, the TV sees 60 frames per seconds (or 60Hz), and draws 3 interstitial frames between each source frame based on an algorithm of what the start frame looks like and what the end frame looks like, and creates in-between frames.

So, even if you HAD a 240Hz source, your TV might not even recognize it. Much like many 1st gen 1080p sets displayed 1080p, but could not actually accept 1080p, or could only do it from HDMI, and not component and /or VGA.

(Fun Fact, standard isn't really 60Hz either. NTSC/ATSC standard is based on 59.94Hz)

So, what we need is 360hz....

Commercial-grade Digital Projector, capable of 3D/48FPS

Copy of Hobbit HFR Edition for chosen projection systems



And there you go.

Forgive me, because like most people, I really don't understand all the technicalities of the technology; while they said they were "targeting" the frame rate, etc. (didn't say promised, but were targeting), wouldn't it be easier for them to work towards that since they are only releasing it on the newer consoles rather than trying to make it work on both generations?

Different platforms have different needs. So, they are trying to be at 60fps on both, maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't.

If they were just using the same graphics and everything from the last generation on the new consoles 60FPS wouldn't be a problem at all.

Framerates tick me off.... wife has a beefy PC with 120Hz monitors.... was playing Bioshock Infinite at max settings at 120FPS... -_- while I was playing it on the 360 at like... 30... ARGH.
