Might be trading advanced Warfare for far cry. I really tried to believe it when my friends told me how impressed they were with this cod and I reluctantly picked it up on Monday and it still just isn't doing anything for me.
Campaign is actually pretty good. Maybe try and get through that before you trade it in.
Happy Birthday, PS4!!!!!
Time flies.
Through a rapid pixel-count, it's easy to see the PS4 absolutely delivers on this full 1920x1080 promise - with none of the frame-rate problems seen in its Ubisoft stablemate. For every pixel we a get new line of visual information, letting us soak in every detail of Ubisoft Montreal's ice-peaked terrain from afar. However, by nature Far Cry 4 also boasts a eclectic mix of visual elements; from rock geometry and dangling flag-lines, to broad swathes of foliage and fur shaders. While a 1080p base image is a powerful starting position, image treatment tailored to the each game's visual style is still crucial, and Far Cry 4 deserves extra credit in this department.
While we've yet to play the Xbox One version, the PS4 game's image quality stands several leagues ahead of its predecessor's cropped, heavily processed 1280x704 output on last-gen consoles. It's a level of clarity that demands a ramp-up in its other visual facets, and thankfully Ubisoft Montreal makes every effort to deliver a top-end experience on PS4.
But having dipped into the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the previous game for a refresher, the absolute biggest upgrade for the newer entry on PS4 is its frame-rate. Where once we had a 20-30fps read-out with unrelenting tear across the screen, Sony's new hardware clears everything up. Despite its top-grade visual settings, the use of HRAA, plus an ambitious native 1920x1080 output, this game runs at a near faultless 30fps.
The solid performance here is reminiscent of the strong showing of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag last year - there's the sense that Ubisoft has built upon and refined an existing engine technology and in PlayStation 4 we finally have the hardware required to enjoy a good balance between excellent visuals and good, consistent performance. Right now, we've only seen the game running on the Sony platform, but we're intrigued to see how Far Cry 4 scales on PC, and there's also the small matter of Xbox One to address. We suspect that it may run at a lower resolution than the PS4 build, but assuming it implements HRAA, the tell-tale temporal shimmering that's amplified by upscaling should be much less of an issue - it could be the most fascinating resolution comparison in quite some time. We'll update you on all three versions next week.
I played the first one and loved it so I'm gonna give this one a try. It sucks that this game is lost in the crowd because it's such a unique game imoNo love for Little Big Planet 3? Nov 18th is a pretty big day.
I was more interested in Rogue from the beginning.I think that Rogue will hit current gen next year along with the PC version. I doubt Ubi will leave any money on the table. I still want to try Unity, despite what some people on here say. One of my boys picked it up and said he hasn't experienced any type of issues since he bought it with the exception of one time; he hit someone with a spear and it sent them all the way across the map
Assassin's Creed Rogue is getting forgotten and buried when it sounds like it has the better story.
I'll be scooping both Unity and Rogue down the line, on the cheap.
A preview of rogue that I saw made it sound like the game play will be very similar to black flagin terms of game play but yea I would have thought people would be all over it because of the story but last gen is dying a very rapid death.Assassin's Creed Rogue is getting forgotten and buried when it sounds like it has the better story.

I love the ost. Ubi is supposedly going to do another spin-off with far cry 4.I've been playing Blood Dragon for the time being.
Shadow of mordor is like assassin's creed but it's funner because of it's combat system and nemesis system.
@iYen thats good to hear. I may just pick it up!
