However, much of what made Unity such a powerhouse has been taken out of Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. Assassin's Creed: Unity on all its systems was a great looking game for what their hardware could produce, and on PC the game truly shined. On Digital Foundry's budget PC, the outlet has chosen to keep the resolution on par with the console to give the most like-for-like performance.Īcross the board all three versions of Syndicate the game maintains stable performance, a testament to the developers making sure the game was ready before it launched, but as Digital Foundry also points out, it could be due to the game not being as intense as Unity before. Personally, I have Syndicate locked at 30fps and running the game at 4K downsampled for better graphical fidelity. However, as with most PCs, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate on the platform is capable of running at an uncapped framerate and 4K resolution, if your hardware can handle it.

However, the performance on console versus PC is surprisingly close, especially when pitting against Digital Foundry's budget PC, which is built specifically to compare performance on hardware similar to that seen in a console.Īssassin's Creed on console finds itself running at 900p upscaled to 1080p, and capped at 30 frames per second. Assassin's Creed Syndicate, however, is not at the same technical level as Unity before it. Unity, for all its flaws, was a technical showcase on the PC when pushed to its max. Now that the PC version has been out for a few weeks, Eurogamer's Digital Foundry has had time to compare the PC and console versions and find out if the delay was worth the wait. By all accounts, the explodey-heads seen in Unity were not there, performance was optimized so that in even the most extreme circumstances, Syndicate's Anvil Next engine didn't buckle under the pressure. When the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Assassin's Creed: Syndicate hit in late October, the game didn't hit shelves with many negative issues. Since the debacle of Assassin's Creed: Unity, which launched in such a broken state that it became the poster child of bad game releases, Ubisoft was determined to make sure all their games from that point forward never repeated those missteps. When the PC edition of Assassin's Creed: Syndicate was delayed a month after the console release, Ubisoft claimed it was to make sure the PC version was as optimized as it could be.
