Why the big difference in patch size?

Power of the Kraken

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Why Syndicate? Surely everyone that was going to play this has done?

I mean nobody could say they were holding out for PS5 Pro for this one from 2015!

 

[adamsapple]

Does that read like PS5 OG is 1080p/60 only?

The way they bullet pointed is weird.

 

[jm89]

Holy shit that patch size diffrence.

 

[diffusionx]

This isn't the AC people wanted a patch for.

 

[Chuck Berry]

I could totally see myself revisiting this.

The combat is so hilariously brutal and over the top

[Wolfpact1983]

Where is my RDR2 patch?

 

[Darsxx82]

Why the big difference in patch size?

Because the way the BC works in XSeries requires downloading the full game.

 

[Rockman33]

pretty excited about this. I’ve been wanting to play an old school assassins game recently.

Is ps5 60/1080 and ps5 pro 60/4k? Kind of confused how this was written.

Base PS5 can run this game at 4K/60 if Series X can.

 

[Kacho]

Fucking hot

 

[Senua]

Worth playing for the beautiful recreation of Victorian London alone imo, story and characters are pretty forgettable.

 

[Skifi28]

I was not holding out for it specifically, but I did impulse buy it years ago at a heavy discount and almost forgot about it so this gives me an extra push to finally play it.

 

[AJUMP23]

I did not care for this AC.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

This is awesome. This game was everything Unity wasn’t. I liked it quite a bit.

 

[TGO]

Now do Unity

 

[Pelao]

Nice.
Between PS5 and Xbox Series X, I now have almost all the main entries available at 60fps.
Just missing Black Flag, which is my favorite...

 

[Gonzito]

Amazing game. That being said, console peasants are stuck with that awful hat and not being able to use the hood permanently with modding on pc

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

That's what i got from it, we'll wait and see.

Never played it so might grab it for SX if i find it cheap.

So whats left? all the "RPG" games are 60fps, now this... i guess Black Flag is the most wanted next to get a 60fps patch. Good on Ubi to keep updating their games.

 

[Senua]

Now do Unity

I could never finish that one, it was so dull. But man the graphics were stunning, the baked GI still looks good now.

 

[Markio128]

Easily my favourite Ass Creed game. Defo up for another playthrough.

 

[Skifi28]

Nice.

I believe black flag is rumoured for a remake so I wouldn't expect any updates.

 

[Elginer]

Unity when you bastsrds?!

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Unity when you bastsrds?!

lol i think they are doing pretty good so far as updating older titles, some companies like lets say one with rock and star in their names still hasn't updated the best western game ever made.

If it read like the OG was 1080p/60 only it would've been listed separately like the Series S.

 

[Muffdraul]

Damn, I already replayed it not that long ago, when they patched it to make it properly backward compatible on PS5. Oh well, at least I know it'll be even better whenever I feel like replaying it again.

 

[iamvin22]

At that patch size difference

 

[RavageX]

I thought the game was ass.

I don't really have anything else to add it seems.

Really though, I didn't care for the twin aspect of things. I thought I would like the setting but I didn't for some reason. I could never bring myself to finish it, but I struggle with Valhalla even more. It just isn't interesting at all. The characters, the setting doesn't fit, and then all the material collecting is (IMO) lame.

I'd expect vikings to be more brutal.

Weird for them to pick this to update, unless eventually they plan to do the whole series...which would be cool.

 

[Kerotan]

That's really surprising to get an update and why not.

 

[TGO]

I could never finish that one, it was so dull. But man the graphics were stunning, the baked GI still looks good now.

Ironically this is the one I stopped finishing AC games with, I did play a lot of Origins though.

 

[Chuck Berry]

I wonder if releasing this upgrade is to start warming everyone up for Shadows since Syndicate did the dual protag thing first.

 

[TVexperto]

So the leak was right, pretty amazing considering the game was one of the few games that didnt launch on the PS5 when it came out

 

[TGO]

Holy shit, it the Pros Disc Drive slow or something.
Over a hour to install from disc??!

 

[Nankatsu]

Ubisoft updating older games because the more recent ones suck donkey balls.

 

[Senua]

Man what was the last great AC game? Odyssey? fucking 6 years ago.

 

[intbal]

Does that read like PS5 OG is 1080p/60 only?

The way they bullet pointed is weird.

I think it's the same thing as the recent Metal Gear Solid collection.
PS5 has the option of rendering natively at either 1080p or 4K, but Series X will always render at 4K regardless of the console's output resolution (thus requiring downsampling if outputting at 1440p/1080p/720p).

 

[R6Rider]

I wasn't expecting this!

 

[Mr Hyde]

Never played this one so probably gonna take a stab at it now that it's patched to its full glory.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

So the leak was right, pretty amazing considering the game was one of the few games that didnt launch on the PS5 when it came out

What leak? I don’t ever recall this getting a patch being leaked.

 

[Esca]

One of my favorite AC's. Evie ftw

 

[diffusionx]

I never played Syndicate so I have no opinion. I was just saying we want a patch for Black Flag not this. I don't want some stupid remake made by one of Ubisoft's modern dev teams.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Unity needs the patch

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Finally, it’s time to unseal my copy of AC Syndicate that I got about half a decade ago.

 

[TGO]

What this was PS4 Pro Patched, so now the PS5 only outputs at 1080p...

 

[Big Baller]

 

[DanielG165]

At that patch size difference

You have to install the full game on Xbox is all. Not a huge file size by any means these days, though.

That said, what a cool surprise! I always thought that Syndicate was a cool game, despite the performance woes. Will be nice to revisit it at a much higher resolution and frame rate.
