It always have been. This gen will be very exciting thanks to Series S.
I noticed the resolution drop from quality mode and what seems to be a slightly pared in draw distance. That said the jump from 30 to 60fps in fluidity is huge. Going back to 30fps feels so sluggish in comparison.
With tearing gone I'll pick this up at Christmas. Good to see the S getting this patch too, I wonder why they didn't impliment it from the start? Looks a bit soft, it will be interesting to see what the lowest resolution is. Now they just need to fix the freezing in Breakpoint on the Series X and every issue with Watch Dogs....
Installed the patch on Series S. Plays great:

Series S is impressive...
a 299$ machine with rizen 7 3700 CPU equivalent, SSD who outperforms sometime EVO 970, Ultra Small design + GPU who support all next gen DX12 Ultimate features is impressive.
We don't know if it was true 1080p yet but, for a PC who runs AC Valhalla in 1080p60FPS and having fast load times, you will need a GTX 1660 + a quality SSD / CPU so more than +700$.
i played now for 1.5 hour. And i have seen one. A very small one. Dont think its fully gone. But way way better then before. Like every cutscene had it. And i havent seen it at all in cutscene atm.
Not even close, you can play this at native 1080p with a 1650, ryzen 3100 and the cheapest kingston a400.
And for those 700€ you can get a brand new PC with a rtx 2060 and a ryzen 1600AF, at least here in spain.
A 1650 isn't running this game at a consistent 60fps, not even with low settings.
I will always recommend the Series X over the weaker S. But I must say the old AC thread now is something to behold. So much jumping to conclusions.
I have no idea why the hate for lowest entry to next gen + access to 300+ titles on gamepass.
If you are the type that values power, just ignore it. It won't take anything away from your enjoyment. Everyone should experience gaming at the lowest cost they can get away with.
It would error out when I checked for it. I just had to start the game for the download to start.
Agreed. Baby beast mode. Great work Ubi, looking forward to see when devs push it to its fullest (RDNA2 +VA).

Nothing.
Most people(there was the same one of two saying it was the console fault) assumed it was Ubisoft's fault for the lack of 60FPS on the S, it's just the same defensive behavior as always.
I'm not sure why some are surprised Series S could run this at 60fps. It's a current gen game. It's definitely possible.
I mean, it's even running on Xbox One S.

It's easy to point finger at others now. After the battle, everybody is a general. :/

People making hyperbolic statements about the generation and the damage Series S will do, no consideration towards what is clearly an under utilisation of hardware, to no fault of the devs, just the reality of the conditions at the moment. Doesn't mean things won't be rectified later however. Looking forward to the DF thread.
I got that on PC too before the patch, haven't played it again recently so I don't know.
Not sure if it was posted before but after I downloaded the update on PS5, all the trophies I had earned on PS4 unlocked with the exception of Settlement Level 3. I hope when I level up the settlement again it would recognize and unlock it.
Also the nudist side quest got fixed, the box respawned and even though it gave me a weird cutscene I could still finish it.

Reports sound pretty good thus far Ubi. I might wait a bit further forwhat DF has to say....but it looks like you'll get my money for the Series X version after all.
Sure, but on the other hand everyone should know that judging any console (PS, Xbox, Nintendo or Philly Series 5) performance with launch games is premature. Especially when games nowadays get patches over time.
So yes, I think it's fine in this case to call people out, even though it's easy to do this in hindsight. Simply because it's common sense to wait before jumping to conclusions and we saw this in many different threads iirc.
Got a little bit of tearing running around London on my Series X, but it's a massive improvement over where it was.
I tried it out briefly and the lightning and reflections seem to have been improved noticeably. I immediately noticed that candles give off a softer glow and the weapons on Eivor's back are shinier.
Probably not worth half the framerate though. 😅
Resolution is definitely higher. I think draw distance might be better. Hard to spot much more with my quick check. Didn't feel worth it over the much better framerate.
It would be cool if there was an in game option that split your screen in half so you could see the differences in realtime. Rocket League has something similar with showing HDR on/off.
