Je zou haast verwachten dat games op de next-gen systemen standaard op het volledige HD-formaat gespeeld kunnen worden. Niets blijkt echter minder waar. Door middel van een patch krijgt Call of Duty: Ghosts zijn geliefde resolutie en ook Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag lijkt hetzelfde lot te ondergaan op de PlayStation 4.
Finishing the game at 900p gave the development team the extra room in terms of the GPU and CPU usage to ensure the framerate never dips below 30 frames per second. The team then used the time between the ship date and the release to focus on a title update that could deliver native 1080p resolution on the PS4.
It’s the fact that even when we were done with the project, even when we were finished with the certification and everything else, even when most of the engineers had started to work on other projects – like we always do at Ubisoft – some of my engineers continued to work on Black Flag and they even developed a brand-new anti-aliasing technique.
