There?s not much that I?ll add to my existing Assassin?s Creed IV review from a few weeks back, but if you were holding out for the PS4 version of the game you made a pretty good choice. Even without the recent patch to bring the resolution up from 900p to 1080p, this is clearly a step up both in visuals and framerate from the PS3 version of the game.
You still get the great pirate themed, swashbuckling fun found on the PS3, but at a much steadier framerate which manages to hold at 30 frames per second regardless of what?s happening on screen. The added resolution, improved textures, and just general improvement in visual fidelity really does Assassin?s Creed IV a world of good. This was already a game filled with lush environments on land and sea, but with the power of next-gen behind it, everything just pops out more than before.
The only other addition comes from the touchpad functionality on the DualShock 4. This is used primarily for the map, allowing you to swipe at the pad to move around the map instead of the analog stick. It?s honestly not really better or more precise though, and I found myself defaulting to the analog stick more often than not.
