Yeah, I don't know why people wouldn't think FC4 is gonna look better on PS4 from PS3? It's plain and simple more powerful and simpler to port to, and even though this doesn't mean it will be equal to double titans on a PC, I'm expecting a 1080p @30fps or something along those lines, and the PS3 just can't do that :/
I have PS3 and PS4...as a scenario lets say someone has PS3.. they make a map and publish it. Can it only be played by others on PS3?Originally Posted by Mr_Shade Go to original post
Or is it published onto a server that allows both platforms to play it?... and going further - if a map is made on PS4 can someone with a PS3 download it and play it?
Sab I really hope that PS4 maps can't be played on PS3 because if they can IMO that means that those on newer consoles have been shafted big time.Originally Posted by GUN_SABOTUR Go to original post
That video above from PC Far Cry 3 shows 375 A.I. characters and the guy who did the vid says his PC is not at top spec, we got about 15 A.I. characters then they brought out an update which knocked us back to about 7 or 8 in a map (depending on which ones we selected)
So imagine if things were the same with Far Cry 4 that would mean that the PC version gets so much more stuff with zero restrictions and the consoles would be restricted so badly that it would effect the time people would make maps - if they pull that stunt again with the single grid / item restrictions on the newer consoles I can honestly see a big backlash because there is no need to handicap those consoles they can handle so much more than the old 360 and PS3.
I see no reason why a PS3 map couldn't be played on PS4 but the other way around it should not happen (If I placed 300 A.I. in a PS4 map I wouldn't expect the PS3 to handle that so how would it work ?
Been honest though Ubisoft should dictate to Microsoft and Sony and say if you want our game on your platform then PS3 and 360 maps need to be cross platform sharing and the same with PS4 and Xbox One, that would be so much better and the game is a big enough seller that they would be fools to not allow map sharing over rival consoles.
I hope Dappers source is right and that we get that MP info next monday. I think we all need some actual news.
The number of objects and possibilities the map editor had on Far Cry 3 was a step in the right direction, but if they are just building it for old gen with FC4 and give next gen a bit better graphics it would be a very big let down. I like the idea of cross-platform but don't see this happening.
Here is the next gen framerate test on FC4, we will be lucky if we get up to a decent 30.
Far cry 3 dropped back to 20 or worse on many occassions
And the Destiny one which is very very solid
What i Would really want to know is WHAT EXACTLY..... next Gen consoles will offer more than old gen consoles. Did Ubisoft exploited all features and power of the Xbox One and PS4.....will FC4 be the next gen game that will make gamers buy new gen consoles.....
Anyone found a comparaison video or article about it. ..?
Chances of far cry 4 having dedicated servers is zero. even if it did have dedicated servers this would be across all platforms. far cry games are single player focused with multiplayer just being an extra. far cry would have to become multiplayer focused for ubi to even consider having dedicated servers. im getting it on xbox 360. i will upgrade to ps4 when i find a reason to![]()
What was the decision behind releasing the game across two console generations? What are the differences between current and next-gen versions?
"There are still millions of players on the 360 and the PS3 and we want them to be able to play the game! In terms of gameplay, they're all identical - same enemies, same AI, same challenges.
"However. we're able to get higher graphical fidelity on the next-gen systems and PC: better fur on the animals, higher resolution textures in the game, all that kind of thing. But in terms of fun, they're all equal."
(I don't find it fun if I am on a Next Gen system and we get a stupid cap on how much A.I. or how many items we can place in our maps because the older consoles can't do the calculations to keep up - what is funny about that)
I was hoping that the Xbox One and PS4 would get a little love other than just graphics, I think that everyone who purchase Far Cry 4 on newer consoles will feel cheated and disappointed if we get the same cap with items per grid as Xbox 360 & PS3.
I look forward to finding out the differences, If I knew right now that FC4 would be the same with what we can use in the editor among old and new consoles I would cancel my PS4 with Destiny and stick with the PS3 and maybe even wait several months and get the game at a cheaper rate because that would tell me that basically they didn't give a ****.
Well PAX is on so lets wait for the info that we no doubt won't get to hear.
