That will be the start of Ubisofts downfall.Yeah that was DLC as well as additional sidequests you could do for Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin
Also the first Creed to include a trans character and this stunning and brave disclaimer

After seeing some videos i'm not sure about the combat.. looks very simple, never liked the old AC games combat, really only clicked with Origins and onwards.

That's been at the front of most of their games.

Unity would honestly feel current gen if they upped it to 4K60.
AC3 combat was was much better than Origins and the rest.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Don't forget the overwhelming number of Female goons.Yeah that was DLC as well as additional sidequests you could do for Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin

The shimmering on the fences is quite distracting

And of course the cloth physics are still locked at 30fps...

Hate that. Was the same with Origins and Odyssey when they got patched. Very distracting.And of course the cloth physics are still locked at 30fps...

In-game looks great on PS5, but cutscenes look grainy as hell for me. The transition to and from gameplay is a bit stark.

I think cutscenes are prerendered videos.
But yeah, gameplay (on XSX here) looks smooth and crisp. I tried the game earlier today pre-patch and the difference is yuge.

I’m no expert but the picture is very crisp. Definitely 1440p or higher.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
For those who have played it, is the Jack the Ripper DLC worth picking up the game again for $15 with the season pass?
Hmm, interesting.
Odyssey and Origins also retain their PS4 Pro and One X resolution just at 60fps.
This game never got One X support so this is the first time it's in higher resolutions on Xbox.

I bought it and it's certainly higher resolution on Xbox, and auto HDR is a nice bonus.

Sounds like it's the same deal then, retains checker-boarding on the PS5 from the PS4 Pro version and Xbox is native pixels.
edit: Ah fuck it, picking up the Gold version.
Getting a pretty good deal on it too.

Try and match some screenshots with the PS5 version. They look clean but also a little soft (could just be AA but who knows).Sounds like it's the same deal then, retains checker-boarding on the PS5 from the PS4 Pro version and Xbox is native pixels.

Edit: Oh no, I made a huge mistake. I bought Ass Creed I and II from them directly...
Edit: I installed their shit stuff, it says I own Origins and Syndicate...?

Sounds like the JTR DLC is very good.
Anyways, this thread made me check UbiConnect on my PC to see if I owned Syndicate...I do! This time period actually looks pretty refreshing to play through right now. May have to get the DLC too.

Some pics from the opening of the game. I haven't played this in years and forgot how long of an unskipable pre-rendered video is at the start sigh.
This game never got a One X version, which I guess could be a reason why the patch is basically downloading the entire re-compiled game on Xbox versus just a patch on the PS version.

Seems like a pretty solid patch for me so far on PS5.

it's still an Xbox One game tho right? or does it say Xbox Gen9 in the app infos? it would be crazy if they made a whole ass port just to give it this update

The Fileinfo shows Gen9Aware, so it's not a full-on new gen version, the tile on the dashboard also doesn't show the optimized for Series S|X button. But it looks something beyond than just an Xbox One version running cleaner.
Ah well.

now I wonder if this had any effect when playing it on One X. I bet it could run at close to 4k on that thing

It's a very random upgrade from Ubisoft, but as Syndicate is one of my prefered AC games I'm not complaining. I tried it last night in an old savefile and it really works great. I'm even thinking on replaying the game in the near future.
Now, why the update? Ubisoft trying to regain some good will after all their recent screw ups?

Syndicate was one of the handfull of PS4 games which did not work on PS5 and had huge flicker problems.
I don't think I heard about a patch for this problem, so it might be the first time to play it on a PS5 at all. I don't have the game, so others would have to say if there was a patch.

Yes, a dedicated patch to fix the flickering problem was pushed out last year.

Is anyone able to compare PS5 to PS4 Pro to confirm if the resolution actually improved at all, or PS5 vs Series X? From the video I've seen, the PS5 version image quality seems pretty poor - a lot of shimmering and aliasing. It seems better in video on Series X, but it's hard to compare youtube videos.

Don't know if DF or the like will put out videos since this is a busy period with a new console and all, but just based on the screens posted above from the PS5 version compared to mine from the SX version, it looks like the PS5 version is a bit blurrier.
But that could just be image compression.

Don't think it's related, they patched games before like Far Cry 5, AC Origins and Odyssey. I have no clue what the thought process here, but it seems they are just gradually upgrading their games, and i think this should be very welcome by players.
Hopefully Watch Dogs and Wildlands are on the list.

AC Shadows is being made by the same team that did Syndicate. I wonder if in their latest round of polishing Shadows for Feb release, one of the engineers figured something out and said "Y'know, it'd be really easy for me to go back and put this in Syndicate too."

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I tried going back and playing this... omg the camera is so bad. Massive input lag / deadzone, no options to adjust hardly anything. I remember kinda liking this game initially, but this feels so awful to control, even at 60 fps. Surprisingly disappointing tbh, I was actually pretty excited by this update news. Guess my expectations have been shifted by better devs solving this stuff.

Rockstar is the company that puts out the RDR remaster on last-gen. So, once PS6 hits the shelves, a few years later they will release a PS5 remaster of RDR2.
Where is my RDR2 patch?

Hell yes. I'd settle for a PS4 Pro patch at this point. Game has been stuck at 900p/1080p for a decade. I have a PS4 copy and have yet to play it.
