Is it just me or this update get's 1080p on PS4?

It looks like a little sharper image on my TV. Probably it just me.

uth114358d ago

If they pushed it to 1080p, I'm sure they'd be crowing about that

JetsFool35004358d ago

Then all the downgrade fiasco will start again

redcar1214358d ago

No 1080p 4 ps4 or x1 in update it cant handle it only pc can .. ps im a console gamer btw

abstractel4358d ago

@Redcar I have the PC version and it has a bunch of performance issues. People claimed it was able to run Ultra on a GTX670 (same site said this is what most people have which is BS) but the game stutters a lot. You don't have those issues on a console.

The reason according to the programmers themselves: Xbox1 and PS4 has unified memory which is also significantly faster (especially PS4's GDDR5) than normal PC memory and there are no GPU cards with 8GB of DDR5 memory. So it's a complex task.

In an ideal world where money wouldn't matter, a developer would love to just develop for one platform only -- be that PC, Xbox1 or PS4 to squeeze the most out of it. PC being the most difficult considering the wide range of specs and GPUs out there.

Destrania4357d ago

We all know that's not true.

Winter47th4357d ago

PC port is disgraceful might as well just stick to consoles.

SpinalRemains1384357d ago

Dude, the PC version is the worst version.

If only the PC version can 'handle' that resolution, it must be doing so at the expense of other aspects.

MikePWV4358d ago

Online Multiplayer seems to be running much better.

kingtroy4358d ago

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.

RaidenBlack1761d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1761d ago (Edited 1761d 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.

HankHill1761d 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.

obidanshinobi1761d 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.

LamerTamer1760d 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.

gantarat1761d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1761d 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?

RaidenBlack1761d 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.

BlaqMagiq11760d ago

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

Profchaos1761d 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.

BlaqMagiq11760d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1760d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk1761d ago (Edited 1761d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1761d ago (Edited 1761d 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_toad1761d 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.

LamerTamer1760d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1761d 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.

LamerTamer1760d 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.

TheEnigma3131761d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1761d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131761d ago

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."

vallencer1826d ago

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

Pridefall1825d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11825d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921826d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1826d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1825d ago

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.

WeAreLegion1826d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1826d ago

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

ApocalypseShadow1826d ago

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.
