Man I expected much more graphically..It doesn't look any better then Infamous Second Son and that's a PS4 game.

But the game will definitely be a lot of fun to play!

Anthotis4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Wow. That's some serious downgrading from what we were presented with originally.

Still good, though. I'm sure the modders can make the PC version look as it was originally intended.

john24394d ago

@Anthotis: I believe modders - and even simple PC gamers - will do wonders with SweetFX (if it is being supported that is)

Nekroo914394d ago

Modders will do wonders with GTA V , not this.

This screen are ultra settings on a 4k resoltion and they dont look impressive. And they said that pc version wasnt downgraded...yeah yeah

Charybdis4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Don 't have a 4k screen to do these images full justice. So not really sure how big a difference there is between 1080p and 4k. But assume that there is an difference between 4k and 1080p resolution so henceforth the disagree.

jatakk4394d ago

Agreed, the game comes short of its graphical expectations.. AND in my opinion, the city seems quite lifeless and without much soul and atmosphere.

MWong4394d ago

I just can't believe how different of a game we are seeing now with WatchDogs compared to what we saw in 2012.

It's like 2 completely different games.

ZodTheRipper4394d ago

Well yes... inFamous actually looks visually more pleasing, probably because it doesn't strive for photorealism. I find it intriguing how some Ubisoft guy said that the city in inFamous is lifeless ...Watch Dogs doesn't seem to be much better in that aspect either. But all of this won'T stop me from enjoying the game next week :)

tee_bag2424394d ago

@ MWong

I agree. I've got this pre-orded for PC but admit it looks like a$$ compared to 2012. What a wash.

seanpitt234394d ago

According to that screenshot it looks like a ps2 game. I don't understand that some screenshots look really good and some look pretty shocking.

Dee_914394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

So I guess when they said the pc can play at any resolution even above 1080p was false.Because its clear looking at these screens that the pc has a native resolution thats much less than 4k..This looks like the equivalent of a ps2 game being played on a hd tv.Its still to early to jump to conclusions, there could be updates and patches day 1

Nafon4394d ago

yet people still disagree lol. The cars do not sit naturally in the environment at all.. the (relatively) low res textures wouldn't be so bad if the lighting and shadows were more realistic. I'm glad i was never excited for this game. It'll probably be a good game, but I'll just pick it up once it's less than $20.

mikeslemonade4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

4K isn't justified with the price so high right now. It's a marginal difference for 3x the price. Master-race is master of none lol.

1080p is good enough for now. It's the bread and butter sweet spot for performance and cost.

Please don't give me that crap about us being hypocritical of the X1 vs PS4 resolutions because that's for BRAGGING RIGHTS. That shows a system power gap between X1 and the PS4.

DevilOgreFish4394d ago

can't believe sleeping dogs actually looks better than most of these shots. they settled for parity, such a shame.

LackTrue4K4394d ago

Was the pictures ment to impress us??

Cuz none did....

user56695104394d ago

its easy to see the rendering at 4k but still have low quality assets.infamous dont even compare because there isnt much in the game. does infamous have driving mechanics or driving physic. yeah yall try to hard. infamous is a great game, but it is a barron game. everything is basic in terms of other open world games.

nveenio4394d ago

I am not sure I believe that these are Ultra settings.

andibandit4394d ago

You need a 46" screen before you can start seeing the benefits of 4k resolution

starchild4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

I feel like the person that took these screen captures was trying to make the game look as bland as possible. I have watched a lot of gameplay footage and there are vastly better looking areas they could have chosen.

The thing about Watch Dogs is they are going for a realistic look. The colors and contrast aren't overblown and cartoon-like as we see in many video games.

If I am right this is the kind of game that looks much better when being played. Lots of small details and realistic lighting are only fully appreciated when the game is being played at full quality on a good display.

starchild4393d ago (Edited 4393d ago )

Here is some PC gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I think it looks fantastic. Definitely a very good looking game.

And it's not quite as demanding as I was thinking it would be. This guy is running it on ultra with 2x MSAA and he is getting an average of around 40fps on an HD 7950. I have an HD 7950 in my secondary rig and an a GTX 770 in my main rig, so I should get even better performance with my GTX 770 considering it tends to get quite a bit higher frames than my HD 7950 on Ubisoft games like AC4, Far Cry 3 and Splinter Cell Blacklist.

UltimateMaster4393d ago

How the hell Infamous Second Son not only manage to get better visuals, lighting and more colorful texture, but also higher resolution and frame rate than Watchdogs on the same platform is beyond me...

LamerTamer4393d ago

@Consoleslateagain:

Driving is just not part of infamous design. It actually DOES have driving physics though. The AI cars in infamous have true physics. If you blast something and debris is on the street when car runs over it they behave like a car would. The wheels move, the whole car bounces/rocks over the debris etc. I was actually pretty suprised by it. It isalso not always barren, many times there is much traffic and crowds too. It just depends on the situation. There are also times when the screen is filled with massive particle and lighting effects at once. I have to admit it is pretty impressive for a toy.

edqe4393d ago

@UltimateMaster: In the end "Infamous Second Son" was all about visuals and story. Unfortunately the city was totally dead with dumb AI. It is possible that Watch Dogs uses much more resources to city itself and give it "a life".

I recommend to buy this game for PC and you will get 2k@60 experience with much better visual. Modders will make it even more beautiful in future.

The water and the grass looks pretty stunning, but the rest is kind of bland.

Not a big deal though if the games good enough then it should distract from the visuals.

Caffo014394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

"It doesn't look any better then Infamous Second Son"
to be honest Infamous looks better than these screenshots...

http://i.imgur.com/JZA4NfS....
lol this image looks like ps3 at best

Stapleface4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

That shot has some weird lighting going on. I love how people are hand picking the worst images to share. How about this ? http://i1.wp.com/gearnuke.c...

Or this? http://i1.wp.com/gearnuke.c...

Maybe even this one so I don't include all night time shots.. http://i2.wp.com/gearnuke.c...

Caffo014394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

The last screen you posted is horrible lol... apart the foliage and water that look good, try looking at the buildings and mountains, they really lack depth, and those hairs -.- .. the screens at night look really good though

Stapleface4394d ago

The person who posted the shot that you showed also later stated that shot looks like that because you are coming out of a tunnel. In the game, Aidens eyes "readjust" to situations like that. The light looks really bright, but goes away very quickly. That shot was taken at just the right moment when exiting the tunnel to see this effect. About the screen shot, admittedly the mountains look bland. IDK if there is an LOD issue with the game, or the user just has it off to achieve better performance, but your right about the distant objects.

esemce4394d ago

Seems the game looks a lot more impressive at night.

Dee_914394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

@Stapleface
So what are you trying to say? All you did was show the inconsistencies... which in my opinion is even worst than having crappy graphics overall..How annoying would it be to have a game that looks phenomenal at night and like crap in the day time?

Yes he's coming out of the tunnel, but the tunnel effect looks like crap... why are you trying to make excuses for how crappy the game looks in these screens? Don't get me wrong, im pretty sure the game would look a TON better with a lower resolution and overall the game looks great..But that lighting is reminiscent of that trailer showing the car jumping off the bridge lift that supposedly "had certain settings disabled".There is no denying these graphics portrayed in these screens are a downgrade from early "trailers"

ShinMaster4393d ago

I don't know man...
http://i.imgur.com/wQaSoUu....
...game is not looking as good as I thought it would.

Gamer19824393d ago (Edited 4393d ago )

Played the game on PC last night on high (which the PS4 and Xbone uses) and the game doesnt look great at all the graphics look washed out and bland. Definitely a downgrade from E3.. Not tried on ultra yet but will later as got my copy early. As a big PC user and have a gaming PC for games like this i'm dissapointed as Infamous does look better on PS4 than watch dogs on PC thats down to ubisoft though not hardware..

Genuine-User4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Infamous looks better over all.
The water and foliage is much better in watch dogs.

abstractel4394d ago

@DoomeDX Other than resolution and framerate, I would even say Infamous looks better. But people shouldn't be surprised that the PS4 can hold up to mid/high end PCs. It has a fantastic architecture with a large amount of very fast RAM. When it comes to RAM, 99% of PCs don't have the same amount of speedy RAM. Your computer has DDR3 memory on the motherboard, and 512mb/1gb DDR5 on the graphics card. PS4 has 8GB of DDR5. That alone makes a difference. There also other factors but most people aren't going to get that, they are just going to look at "my GPU is faster than the PS4 gpu so my computer will always be better than the PS4". Not that simple.

abstractel4394d ago

Also, Infamous Second Son uses Screen Space Reflections everywhere. So does Killzone. Watch Dogs on both PS4 and XboxOne doesn't. Neither does the PC version from what I can see on the settings menu, it just says "reflections" which is probably the resolution of the cube map reflections. I am assuming this because Ubisoft themselves said that the only exclusive PC graphical features are Temporal Antialiasing (which Infamous on PS4 uses btw) and SSAO. That's a big disappointment.

Second Son definitely is the better looking game. But this game looks like more fun.

Ipunchbabiesforfun4394d ago

How the hell did you 4 agrees?! You're regurgitating things you don't know and pretending to know what you're talking about!

GPU's these days are between 2-4GB on the GPU, that's pretty much the standard and going higher every year. Secondly, a PC has a much more powerful CPU with RAM used for storing all calculations between GPU and CPU and has GPU with even more ram that is used to write the actual game on the screen.

PC fast cpu+ram+vram
PS4 = slow cpu+ vram

It's a trade off and if it was such a superior tactic the PS4 would be blowing the PC away, but it's not.

Whatever just disagree, I can't even explain anymore, this site is just stupid and full of morons.

ProjectVulcan4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

PS4 does 'high' settings and 1600 x 900. PC has ultra and can do 1920 x 1080 (this is already a bigger relative resolution gap than PS4 v Xbox One) and up, and up...

So PS4 does a pretty good, pretty good value approximation of a midrange PC.

Let's not kid ourselves however a that good PC isn't considerably more powerful. You quoted 512mb or 1GB of GDDR5 graphics memory for a PC, but it isn't 2010. Most decent cards these days pack at least 2Gb memory even midrange ones like a GTX760, while high end ones have 3Gb+ and their bandwidth by themselves easily exceed PS4's entire memory bandwidth. GTX760 has 192GB/s just for itself, more than PS4 has for the entire system.

The rest of system memory is typically a whole bunch (6GB+) of low latency memory perfect for the CPU.

I think the game itself is hampered somewhat by being on so many platforms, and being cross generation. If the old consoles were ditched and the focus were solely on more powerful platforms the game would have probably looked better.

But that would also rule out PS3/360 gamers getting their hands on it.

Visually I think the game looks plenty good enough and has some nice little details. Lets hope they paid attention to how the game plays...

tee_bag2424394d ago

@ Vulcanproject

I think you've forgetting that its not just 900p on PS4 vs 1080p (+) on a high end PC. Its also a doubling of the frame rates on any decent high end PC.
60fps takes X2 than 30fps

make724394d ago

well said. we have tested with many many setups and we came into conclusion of fact that if you want compete with ps4 with pc first fact is you need at least same price graphics card what ps4 costs to get even near of ps4 and its games.

we have tested games with these setups:
Gun 1: amd cpu with nvidia geforce 750ti
Gun 2: Intel i5 with nvidia geforce 760 gtx
Gun3 3: Intel i5 with nvidia geforce 780 gtx

This has been tested with various games by playign them not with stupid benchmarks comparison etc crap statistics that don't say jack s*it about the games and their real playability.

aquamala4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

it's GDDR5, and based on DDR3 tech

Ipunchbabiesforfun4394d ago

@make you also don't know what you're talking about.

There is NO 1 to 1 comparison for PS4 vs PC. They say "comparable" to "high settings" that doesn't mean it's high across the board, it's a little of this and a little of that. Consoles make concessions all the time, PC's don't. You either use what's there and have the power or you just don't run it. Consoles make up all kinds of fake, baked on, ingenious ways to try and solve problems to cram as much on screen as possible. Ever notice all the "we created a new light tech, a new AA solution, "it's a mix" blah blah"

Consoles can't just straight up run PC games. If you took an Xbox One and a PS4 and ran PC code meaning straight forward AA, AF, Textures, Lighting, SSAO/HBAO and so on the console would crawl to it's knees because the CPU wouldn't be able to handle it.

There's a REASON PC CPU'S cost $200+ for the good ones. A slow laptop CPU isn't going to cut it in PC gaming. Also a reason why gaming laptops cost over $1000...

AndrewLB4393d ago

Make- What are you smoking? For $119 you can buy an AMD HD7870 which is FAR more powerful than the PS4's GPU. You don't need a $400 graphics card for a PC to match PS4. Not even close.

Infamous second son looks amazing

Display4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Better resolution doesn't necessarily mean better graphics.

Super mario could run at 4K or hell , why not 8K while we're at it. and It still would look like a cartoony plumber.

Take RYSE: son of rome for instance. It has a resolution of 900p , but (obviously) , it has way better textures , animation & character models...

a 1080p Infamous second son looks better than a 4K Watch dogs , simply because it has more polygons , better textures , better animation , better particle system , better lighting system...

In a perfect world , Infamous would have a 4K resolution or vice versa. (watch dogs would have infamous SS graphics + run at 4K).

But you can't have both probably because watch dogs also happens to be a cross-gen title. (unlike Ryse or Infamous). Meaning that devs had the limitations of the ps3 and 360 in mind.

Ubisoft's The Division looks very promissing though.(visually speaking) , and same goes for assassin's creed unity. And these 2 games aren't gonna get released on ps3/360

Magaman4394d ago

Good luck making all these kiddies understand this, I've been saying this since resolution became the hot topic for every game.

kevnb4393d ago

Emulators have proven Mario galaxy looks way better rendered at higher res, even with the same assets.

3-4-54394d ago

From what I see:

* MORE things are in greater detail, but DETAIL of everything overall is less than we would like or expect.

* The background detail couldn't have been done last gen on the scale it was + everything in the game.

Dev's warned us that THIS gen wouldn't be mind blowing in terms of graphics, but it would be a "catch up" gen.

^ As in, we can catch the backgrounds up to the same level of detail as JUST the foreground used to be, thus making everything more detailed.

* NEXT GEN, will be more about the boost in graphics.

BitbyDeath4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Don't think watch dogs ever stood a chance against infamous. Watch dogs is a last gen game on current gen platforms. Infamous is only on PS4. Witcher 3 is not being made for last gen and will likely blow both away.

CertifiedGamer4394d ago

If it does have PS4 graphic then it should look better than expected because PS4 is the has the best graphics possible.

aquamala4394d ago

are people not getting that looking at a 4k screenshot in a 1920x1080 monitor/TV is just going to look like a 1920x1080 image? you can't see all the pixels

josephayal4394d ago

The PS4 is actually more powerful than PC

Gamer19824394d ago

Dunno if anybody plays at 4K but unless you got 4 titans you cant play at ultra settings at 4k even with 4 titans its still gonna struggle as 4k is still a new tech..

andrewer4394d ago

In a 4K TV, that makes difference. I don't have one, and I don't care about graphics, but just letting you know that yes, it's different, although comparing 4K vs 1080p in, what, a 1080p screen, they will look the same, 4k may even look worse because it's too much for it.
And yeah, the game will definitely be a lot of fun to play :D, pre-ordered and can't wait!

Dynasty20214394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

ENB Series will be all over this game, just like Dark Souls 2, adding far better lighting, depth of field, all that jazzy effects etc. Dark Souls 2 on PC with some easily installed and basic mods looks as good as the reveal did already.

Trust me. Give it a month or 2 and the game on PC, modded, will look just as good as it did at reveal.

ENB mods are kind of like how a game should be on PC, before the engine gets downgraded so consoles can run it.

kevnb4393d ago

PC games have looked like this for years now, consoles are just closer now.

ITPython4393d ago

Wow, ... WOW. Looks like a PS2 game once you enlarge the pic and look around. And the jaggies are insane.

Take a look at this pic, enlarge the pic to full size and check out the bench on the middle left of the screen. The jaggies on that bench are absolutely horrible.

http://i.imgur.com/y3lK1GT....

And take a look at this shot, enlarge the picture and look at the ventilation vents on top of the building on the bottom left of the screen.

http://i.imgur.com/Bz0Abrr....

This may be running at 4k res, but there is no way in hell it is maxed out in all the other categories. If it is, then wow... people will be in for a sour surprise on May 27th.

SonyWarrior4393d ago

lol go back and look at ps2 games they are way worse then this..... Watch dogs has better graphics then alot of games out right now better graphics then gta 5...

SaturdayNightBeaver4393d ago (Edited 4393d ago )

It's heavily downgraded since 2012 version. If ps4 is capable of better looking graphics , why does this game look this bad? Ubisoft must have hired monkeys.. Or maybe the engine is just bad piece of crap.Even just slightly modded GTA 4 blows this thing away , and its from 2008 right? They must have downgraded it heavy cause lastgen console, no other reasons , maybe x1 but hell even x1 can look better than this with that resolution and fps.

Ghost_Nappa4393d ago

Second son didn't release on 6 platform

HollowedSoul144393d ago

gta v for pc is going to kill this, hopefully this mediocre attempt by ubisoft pushes rockstar to blow are minds with gta v for pc. maybe they should of made watchdogs only night time with rain because daytime looks like a washed out blurry mess,dat saturation and lack of color. 0_o

majiebeast4394d ago

It doesnt even look as good as E3 2013 lets not even talk about E3 2012.

john24394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

I believe this is mainly due to the different TODs, though there is definitely some slight 'downgrade'

NovusTerminus4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

E3 2012 was not a full map, it was what we saw, and the entire team was focused on build that small area. Shift into full development and certain things have less put detail in it.

It's not (mostly) a hardware issue, cross gen held it back, but development on this scale has to make some cuts, comparing the entire world to a small demo from 2012 is not fully fair.

Eamon4394d ago

Not really. Watch Dogs E3 2012 demo was much of what brought attention and hype to this game.

They should have been upfront from the start about what they envisioned. Or at least admitted early on that they won't be able to reach the quality of the E3 2012 demo. The final product is far from was initially shown.

These PC shots are definitely worrying because its' true that it doesn't even compare to the E3 2013 demo too.

This game does not look next-gen.

Funny thing is we were told some things are supposed to look better which I really haven't seen so far.

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack1771d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1771d ago (Edited 1771d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill1771d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi1771d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer1770d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1771d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack1771d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq11770d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos1771d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq11770d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1771d ago (Edited 1771d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad1771d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer1770d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne1771d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer1770d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma3131771d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1771d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
