Ubisoft's Watch_dogs (PC and "Consoles")

[Darwock]

Which is before and which is after? It keeps looping so I have no idea where it starts.

[dataDave]

The **** one is after. Wasn't that obvious within the context of my post?

[Darwock]

No, it wasn't. I don't know what it looked like last year, I haven't been following it.

I guess they were urged to make it look like crap so that it could run on the xbone without embarrassing Microsoft.

J/K of course.

The lighter version of the clip is what it looks like now? I think that looks crap.

A few sites have already talked about it since the trailer went live. My cynicism makes me think the release delay was so they could gimp the next gen versions like this. There'd been some brief current gen footage a while back and it looked visually awful so I wouldn't be surprised if they've scaled the next-gen versions down so current gen sales aren't as badly affected by people who would otherwise feel short changed as they get a poor port but don't yet have a PS4/XBO.

Part of the games appeal was being one of the new gens nice lookers as the whole hacking thing looks meh and I doubt it's as comprehensive as peeps hope it is. It's likely solid overall though but I think Ubi might live to regret the choice.

Watchdogs was the reason I decided to preorder a PS4! The delay was annoying but this is....awful!

Cancelled my order to wait for reviews now. Hopefully they have diverted all the power towards the A.I so the game plays great. I somehow doubt it tho.

[Sketcz]

So much bitching.

I think it looks lovely either way.

The lighting is just a bit different. I mean, it's not like it suddenly looks like this:


Then again, I could scarcely see the difference between MGSV on PS3 and PS4 when put side by side.

Kids today. Upset about everything. Back in my day games came on vinyl records, and you had to connect dad's recorder player to your system via a shaky audio lead and load the data, which took several minutes to an hour. After that you'd play for a minute only to be interrupted by mum shouting it's time for tea, or the Wimbledon's on so the family needs the telly.

Hopefully it will play well and that .gif is making it look worse than it really is. Its not really the lighting I'm to fussed about but everything else has been lowered in detail even the mini map.

Maybe this is why it was delayed? I guess performance was an issue due to how good it looked.

[Lebowski]

The problem with the gif is it looks like GTA5 on the ps3/xbox now, i guess it will probably be running at 30fps and be 720p too, I guess its time to scale back our expectations

Watchdogs(dinner).

Watch(runs like a)dog

poor dogs get a lot of stick, i don't get the phrase runs like a dog, dogs run quite fast, Dogs dinner as a phrase makes sense though as dog food looks very messy.

[wakka]

Lebowski that post is cracking me up.

My God, that looks poo. Dog poo.

[teddymeow]

Watched the story trailer a few times and I think it looks really good! I'm still excited for it. As long as the hacking stuff and open world hasn't been compromised in the next gen version then I'll be happy.

Where did that driving .gif come from? None of the footage in it is actually in the story trailer .

And yet, the dog's bollocks are the pinnacle of achievement!

QI said the phrases "Dog's Bollocks" and "Bog standard" come from Meccano sets.
The standard set was called "Box Standard" and the ultimate kit was called "Box Deluxe"...

I really do hope this turns out to be worth all the wait. I just hope Ubisoft haven't sort of missed the boat by not releasing in Novemeber, I guess we will find out if the delay has been worth it. I'm still really looking forward to playing it.
