Hmmm that's weird. If they had said they could not achieve 1080P on PS4/Xbox One because of technical reasons I would have been completely fine with it, but the fact that they are creating parity between the two versions just so there won't be so called "debates" on the internet is downright laughable.
Surely, they could have used whatever logic Ubisoft has left and realized that coming out with a statement like that will create even MORE debate/chatter. Then again, maybe this is all intentional and they are doing it for publicity.
That said, I do not see myself purchasing this game now which is a shame because I was looking forward to it. Oh and before anyone replies to me with "herp derp pixels/resolution don't matter its all about fun", I didn't say I'm not purchasing it because it's not 1080P. I am not purchasing it because I don't feel like supporting a company that intentionally gimps the PS4 version of their game. Like I said, had they said they were unable to reach 1080P because of technical reasons I would have been fine with it and still purchased/looked forward to AC Unity.
Perhaps I will pick up a used copy. Besides I dont make that much money and this holiday I'll be picking up a PS4 with Far Cry 4, that's already around 500$ canadian down the drain =/. Not to mention I need a new monitor...Yeah you get the point.
Disappointed in Ubisoft. Funny that the only game I'll be purchasing with my new PS4 will be Far Cry 4 lolz...
