People expected this shit to meet the graphical projection?
:heh Is this their first new gen?
-
tbh i don't really find watch dogs that graphically impressive anymore even in older footage :larry
-
don't give a single shit about the graphics. the most insulting thing about this game is how generic it looks.
it's GTA without any of the fun (aka GTAIV)
-
It's going to take itself way to seriously and be dull and meandering as fuck. It's from Ubisoft, makers of ASSASSINS CREED
-
Watch The Division be the same downgrade
Couldn't care so long as it's bullet physics and penetration look the same as the trailer. It could look like a PS2 game at that point and I'd still play it for that.
-
Still think this might be Ps360 footage.
I kinda want this to be great to play but with graphics that disappoint everyone so only a cultured elite will play and enjoy it. :-*
I suspect it might be good actually, as long as the concept is in tact and used well (being able to affect traffic signals, hack civilians etc.) - that bridge lighting is almost funny tho
Calling it now: Batman trailer will have created the same distorted expectations when we get a gameplay trailer

Nobody on the road

I feel it in the air. The summer's out of reach

Ugly vehicle aside, the lighting is so fucked on this new build.

welcome to video games

Honestly, the game doesn't look so bad. I think people are overestimating this downgrade somewhat. Lighting definitely looks mad flat now though :kobeyuck
yeah but the visuals were the big reason people were excited about it. two years ago it was believed to be the first next gen game.

:yeshrug bullvideo is the new bullshots. If you thought shit was gonna run like that on consoles including last gen... that framerate, all those reflections, those shadows and their quality, all those interactive lights, you lost
it was clearly running on devkits
not disagreeing, but we're talking 2012. people were hankering for next gen and they got watch dogs and that star wars uncharted. this was so long ago some people believed that watch dogs demo was the wii u version.
and yeah, iirc it was on a 680. but that might've been the ue4 demo.
-

Well, anything pre-release is going to be running on devkits. The problem is using the devkit outside the target spec of the consumer hardware. But I'm guessing that's what you meant...?

UBISOFT LAUNCH (WINDOW) GAME

UBISOFT LAUNCH (WINDOW) GAME
I dunno, Assassins Creed was launch window and had visuals significantly more in line with their pre-launch hype.
-
Yeah, AC looked motherfucking incredible, even if it had some screen tearing issues.
-
assassin's creed turned out better than some of the previews. I think it was microsoft's e3 2006 when it was demoed live and buggy. it was one of those first last gen games that looked "new" with altair turning and groping people as he walked by instead of bumping into them.
graw and rainbow six vegas also looked great at the time
-
Yeah Ubisoft was pretty amazing at the begining of last gen and then:
Rainbow Six went missing.
Ghost Recon Future took forever to come out only to have an identity crisis and basically be ignored.
Assassins Creed became an annual open world clone and a model for it's other open world games where you just throw a bunch of crap in it to make up for the ambition that you ignore in the sequel(Far Cry 2--Far Cry 3).
Splinter Cell rebooted and rebooted and then well whatever...
Some bright spots with Blood Dragon, but Ubisoft has been pretty mediocre to me.
-
I probably should have picked that up when it was one of the first Games With Gold promotions. I just didn't see myself backlogging ANOTHER fps. I've still got Quake 4 from when it was $30 used. :-\
-
One of the drawbacks of getting that 24" 1080p monitor/tv for my office/cave is that I really notice stuff I never used to notice before. When I was playing PS3 Red Dead Redemption on a 37" 1366x768 TV from 8 feet away, I thought it looked fine in comparison to the 360 version. Two feet away at 1080p though is :kobeyuck
-
Image quality is not to be underestimated, especially on PC. CoD Ghosts has a setting they call "Image Quality", which defaults to "Normal". It's actually rendering resolution, and the default was below 1080 for sure. Looked like a blurry mess when I first started it up.
Planetside 2 is the only other PC game I know of that lets you do that.
-
Aren't most pc monitors shit at scaling? I have a decent Dell, but anything that isn't native res just looks ugly. Kinda sucks because it means going below 1080 for perfomance issues is not really an option.
-
You should let your GPU do it, in that case, though I don't know if it's any better. This was in-engine though, which I imagine games can do through hardware as well. Looked shit either way.

On new-gen systems the game will run at 900p on PS4 and 792p on Xbox One, at 30 frames-per-second on both consoles. While some new-gen games now offer native 1080p, Morin says it’s much more important to deliver an amazing next-gen experience than it is to push a few more pixels onto a screen.
lawl, Next-Gen la bomba, PCs win again. :heh

Resolution is a number, just like framerate is a number. All those numbers are valid aspects of making games,” he says. “But you make choices about the experience you want to deliver. In our case, dynamism is everything. Exploration and expression are everything. You want to have a steady framerate, but you want to have dynamism at the core of the experience.
Which, naturally raises the question: why not focus on increasing the resolution during the game’s recent delay? Because, Morin says, that was never the goal. Instead, that extra time was spent ensuring the team could fully realize their vision for Watch Dogs, polishing all aspects of the gameplay and making sure hacking is fully integrated into every system. (For more, see: Why Was Watch Dogs Delayed?) “The effort was split on continuing dynamism and making sure players can express themselves through hacking without ever being disappointed in how the game responds to them, whether it’s visually or through gameplay,”

Continuing a fine Ubisoft tradition, there are like a billion different version of Watch Dogs to buy (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Watch_Dogs&oldid=608433918#Release)!
-
Jonathan Morin, the creative director of Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs has just revealed some information about the minimum requirements for the game. According to his official twitter , Watch Dogs will not run on dual-core CPUs. .... He also said that any CPU that scores 9,000-10,000 on Intel’s PassMark would be able to run the game on Ultra and scores of 7,000 and higher would be capable to run the game on Medium-High settings (assuming all other requirements are fulfilled).
As for RAM, the minimum RAM required to start game is 6GB. Any lower and you won’t be able to play. Answering a tweet if 4GB RAM was sufficient, he replied
“The main issue is your ram. If you climb it up to 6 you should be able to run the game at low settings.“
Coming to GPU, he also said that “90% of the dev team runs on Nvidia Geforce 670, that will run Ultra if you have the CPU to match.”.

Demoed it via the usual means.
It seems perfectly competent. I mean it certainly didn't blow me away to the level of the hype. But then I was never on the hype train like gaf so my expectations towards it were never out of wack. It seems very much like it could have easily existed in the 360/PS 3 generation. Which once again is not a diss. There is nothing wrong with that. It's just sort of odd how this came to be the poster boy for next gen.
It looks okay I guess. I mean I turned it up just to see what it looked like on the high end and it didn't really blow me away either on that aspect. It doesn't seem especially well optimized so I turned it down to like medium after that but then I'm not a crazy graphics guy.
It feels exactly how you would expect. Like the people who made Assassin's Creed made an open world game. It has the same kind of feel and mission design even though the environments and such are modern and it has hacking and stuff. When you play it, it will feel like an ubisoft game. That's both good and bad for different reasons.
The driving feels a bit stiff and slow. The roads feel a bit narrow. It didn't feel as fun navigating the world as say GTA 5. And btw whatever they say after playing it, its pretty clear they delayed it because they knew they needed separation from GTA 5. Releasing when they originally planned would have been a disaster because this game doesn't feel as epic as that title did. Once again that's not the diss it sounds like. If this came out at any other time, it would be fine. It would be judged on its own merits and flaws. But coming out so close GTA, it would suffers in comparison with that title.
One aspect I do like is that stealth seems to be an option. The second mission you have to infiltrate a construction site and hack something. I suppose you could go in guns blazing and just kill everyone and do it but it was fun to do it in a stealth way. And the way I did it is probably not the way some other person would do it. I like that. That is something that GTA doesn't really have as nearly every situation in that game is resolved by a shootout and if there is stealth, its a very prescribed version of it. This felt more free.
The voice acting and general story seem awful. I'm also not a fan of serious business tone but that's just a personal opinion.
It seems "okay". It's not revolutionary and its not a trainwreck. It seems like most video games that exist. I would guess it would get like 8's in reviews by the mainstream media but I've only played a bit so who knows how it continues and how the game continues to progress.

Part of me wonders if this was ever going to be the Assassins' Creed modern setting game. There are always those near-future sequences in AC, very, very limited glimpses into the world where... is it "Desmond"? Where the assassin descendent is running through the office or a parking garage and then BACK TO THE PAST, FLUNKY. This is another game with stealth and action and an amazing killer going against secret organizations... hey.

Final mission of a sequel going to be rescuing Desmond and merging the two series.

Maybe
Or it could be the limitations of their engine that make the games feel very similar. The movement still feels a bit off like in Assassin's Creed.
Playing a bit more and yeah the stealth in this game is the best thing going for it. It feels better than Assassin's Creed which always felt like a sub-par stealth game imo (I didn't play the last one so maybe it got better in that regard). You have enough tools and maneuvers and hacking ability to make the stealth fun and make you feel powerful against the AI. the AI isn't great or anything. In fact its pretty dumb. But whatever. That's the case with most stealth games. Otherwise its a standard open world game. But the stealth options make it more fun.
I really don't like the city structure compared to GTA. It's like GTA knows how the make the world. The streets are big enough so that you can use your vehicles how you want. I constantly feel like the city streets are cramped in this one and that driving is a bit more of a pain than I want it to be. Maybe that's just something it takes time to get use to. But I also think its partially a design thing that rockstar is better at.

Yeah, I feel that Rockstar's world building is consistently the best in OWGs. The use of landmarks, color, building style are quite accomplished. I feel like I know where I am and which way I'm facing most of the time. But what I think you mean are player metrics for the size of vehicles, size and amount of NPC vehicles, and their placement on the streets at any time. I think they're spot-on there most times as well.
The feeling in GTA III and V when you're blowing down a major boulevard at full speed, and threading the gap between two cars stopped for the red light you're ignoring is... pretty awesome. It's a great way to lose cops on your tail.
I never managed to feel in control enough of the cars in IV to pull it off consistently, which lead to stress, which lead to me not trying it very often.
Driving in Saints Row has never been a high point; SR I and II, the cars handled as though they were on rails; no slop, no spin, no fishtail -- just varying degrees of acceleration. In SRtT and SR IV the physics improved but still never felt as polished as GTA.
-
We got an early copy today and so far this game is a great blend of AC and Splinter Cell with a huge side of GTA. I love the creation system and the way they handle upgrades. I'm looking forward to my PS4 copy on Tuesday.

I'm going to get this at Midnight and stream it if anyone cares. I almost don't want to get it though. Just seems like another meh Ubisoft game.

I completely agree the graphics are underwhelming although I would argue that's a case of original sin in that the overhype was based on graphics which is a gateway drug for overhype when it comes to the hardcore section of the market. It was presentedly falsely. But that always happens with this next gen stuff shown early during the current gen.
I would argue the bigger problem is the gameplay isn't anything especially new.
That being said, that same argument applies to pretty much all of the current gaming market. It just seems like this one is getting punished a bit more harshly because of the hype backlash.
I legit don't think the game is "bad" or anything when compared relative to what is out on the market. It just doesn't stand above anything else on the market either. Which is where the hype machine problem arises.

also the GAF thread on this aka "i wanted it to bomb, boo hoo" :neogaf

I wanted this game to bomb too! why? because it's like a monolith of everything wrong with modern western gaming it's just more noticeable than usual because this game was also supposed to be a next gen showcase
Boring sandbox,drivey,gunny gameplay? check
Serious "cinematic" story? check
Overblown trailer that has nothing to do with the actual game? check
Bugs indicating minimal amount of fuck? check
Extreme advertising push? check
This game finding success has damned us to at least 2-3 more snore worthy sandbox games

Time to buy wolfenstein
-
Not sure if I want to play this. Didn't think I wanted to because it looked like a boring turd and Ubisoft collect-a-thon games are all dull and repetitive but at least with AC I like the universe and stabbing people from above.
But some people are really digging this, but TVC likes AC like me and really hates this. What to think >_<
Probably will wait until it's $20. Looking at the PC specs thread it seems like my Nvidia 580 which is roughly equivalent to the modern Nvidia 780 will run this about the same as PS4 ("high settings", 30fps). So whichever drops to $20 first I'll grab. Actually wanted to try using redbox for the first time ever to try out this and Wolfenstein but apparently PS4 games on redbox haven't rolled out to So CA yet :(
-
I am cooling on it the more I play but it's still pretty decent.
-
Videos of it look fun enough to me.
TRU has B1G40% off for this and Wolfenstein, I will probably do that. It's not like anything else is coming out for the next 4 months.

Not a bad idea. Although it's guaranteed these games be cheaper by the end of the year. Especially Watch Dogs since Ubi games drop like rocks.
-
I think Jeff's review from Giantbomb is pretty much dead on. One thing I completely agree with how garabage and disjointed the story is. (I felt the same about the AC games). Like in GTA whether you like or don't like the story is a personal opinion thing, but I always generally understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
In this game, it all very confusing. You forgot why you are doing the things you are doing because it seems quite odd. And you are constantly getting calls before you start a mission while you are on a mission, and you wonder what the hell the person is talking about. Is he talking about this mission.

so, i guess they achieved their goal of being technically on par with the gta games
also, whenever i read or hear "disgusting" used as a descriptive term for video games it sends up all kinds of special fellow alerts

Babby's First Open-World
-
I guess I just don't understand why this particular game is catching so much hell. So far it's no more/less buggy than any other OW game I've ever played (not that I think it's particularly good). Same with the mediocre storylines and brain-dead AI for NPCs and cops. I mean, I love RDR, but it's full of glitches, and the story goes nonsensical around the Mexico section. Also, you can shoot up a bunch of whores and a dozen marshals, and as long as you outrun the red circles on the map you can come back to the same town two minutes later and no one acts like they know who the fuck you are. You run up in a gang hideout with a posse after you, then you have two groups of knuckleheads trying to take you down while ignoring each other. It's that way in every OW game. The cops and bad guys stop chasing you after a while so you can get on with the game. If they hardlined that kind of realism the AI would never stop, and you'd never be able to finish.

It's the hype machine. People are backlashing on it. I also agree I don't think its a bad game or anything. But the hype was at such a level that just a normal or just slighty better than normal game was going to get ragged on.
The game definitely has flaws. Large ones I would argue in some cases. It's nowhere near as good as something like GTA 5 or RDR. I don't even think its as good as Sleeping Dogs honestly but that's about the level its probably at. Maybe slightly worse for me than Sleeping Dogs which I quite liked.
But yeah its not a trainwreck like some make it out to be. It's all about what you expected coming into the game.

I just get a chuckle out of all these open world glitch compilations.

My only problem so far beyond the genericness is that this dosen't seem to be a good recreation of Chicago. Which is kind of the only reason I bought the game.

Videos of it look fun enough to me.
TRU has B1G40% off for this and Wolfenstein, I will probably do that. It's not like anything else is coming out for the next 4 months.
:ohhh
Not a bad idea. Although it's guaranteed these games be cheaper by the end of the year. Especially Watch Dogs since Ubi games drop like rocks.
Yea, but by the end of the year I will be playing Destiny or something. I can't think of a single retail release I want until then so I might as well have something to do in the meantime. $36 is good enough and I was tempted enough by Wolfenstein to pay full price for it anyway.
I ordered them, free shipping is slow as fuck so next week I guess.

I'm relying on GameFly and it's shit service so I'm pretty sure you'll be playing one or both of those games before me. :lol

This game does seem kinda boring. I'll put more time into it this weekend.

Save your money on this one

Too late.

Yeah, I already traded it in for 42 bucks. Was okay at first, got real old real quick. It's not a bad game, I've just already played it a dozen times.

I've been meaning to watch you stream it, but then I remembered I needed to watch grass grow instead.

I'm not streaming this anymore. This is worse than AC4.
Maybe Murdered will be better - hopefully GameFly sends it

That awful eh? Well this what you get for asking for that game over something you really wanted. 😆
I took back my PS4 copy

Why didn't you like AC4? The pirate story was not bad at all for a videogame, especially if you like pirates and are interested in the tale of the golden age of pirates. Sailing around was fun and the gameplay was more refined/fun/less glitchy than 3. Only real downsides were the pointless collect-a-thon items, a handful of poor main missions and the story skipped around A LOT and was not presented as well as it could've been. But Kenway was a good lead.

I dont mean to sound unappreciative. Thank you for sending it to me. I did want this game - its just a disappointment.

How so? Burnout on "Ass Creed" like games, or other things?

I thought about getting this from Redbox but instead I'm playing Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns on my Wii and not at all regretting my life decisions

There's a Privacy Invasion involving a guy complaining about getting sent the wrong "Sexy Ayumi" doll - he is the "Fedora Federation" president, or something.

The sidequests in this game are so dumb. "Knockdown" the bad guys, breh. Oh, but they're surrounded by 20 dudes with AK-47s, feel free to kill all of them. I wonder who thought that would be fun.
Oh yeah, it was the people that made Assassin's Creed. :neogaf

Buy Grenade Launcher, and just kill everyone. The AI is dumb as bricks and will run towards you eventually.

Typical TTQ on a Ubi open world game for me is around 10 hours, I think I got to 3 on this one

I hope I can activate this game and download it instead of installing from the DVD. If I have to install via DVD it's going to take forever. :noah

I love ass creed but I couldn't handle even 3 hours of this shit show.

Glad I skipped this, will get it for $5 in three months and never install it
-
Behold the power of hype. I have a feeling the legs are going to be shit, but with upfront sales like that, it doesn't matter that much.
over / under on Destiny enjoying a similar level of hype powered sales? I'm thinking with Activision backing it'll be huge, but y'never know, it could all dampen off like Titanfall hype
Not ruling out the possibility of Destiny actually being cool though

I haven't yet played the game thanks to GameFly's fantastic service but I had a crazy opinion that was curious if it was true. Based off screen shots and video; GTA5 just seems like a better looking game to me. Obviously it can't match the technical fidelity of Watch Dogs but there's something about the art style and Rockstar's design direction that makes that game more visually interesting to me than Watch Dogs on PS4/ONE. I guess I'm a sucker for attention to detail.

That's my plan! Most likely $15 Black Friday fodder.

The art style and design is definitely far superior in GTA. You get a sense of being in a place in GTA 5 as you move across the world and city. Watchdogs has that Assassin's Creed feeling of being in a very constructed videogame "world".

I wish I had bought a physical copy of this so I could take a dump and then puke on it.

I'm glad I did buy it physical. Traded that crap in and got Fire Emblem and Dragons Crown for Vita!

Reminds me of police chase mode from Driver. I would always pick the San Francisco map for this exact reason.

Just finished the story. It ends in two button presses. Zzzzzzz

The whole time I played it I kept thinking "This probably would have been a decent game back in 2010."

Multi is awful, as expected. I fucking hate this game so much.

I played around with it a little bit this morning, and right now the LOD is borked to hell, but you can turn it off and they said they're fixing it. It's still a WIP.

WOW, those changes really does make it look great. Wish the engine was optimized enough for it to run like that on next-gen. :'(

This tickled me.
Watch Dogs is a great game built by a huge team of very talented people. But it’s not perfect, and we can’t be arsed with it any more. Here’s why the VG247 crew has moved on.
The writer then goes to essentially say the following over 3 pages.
The hacking is a gimmick.
It's too long and padded.
The city is boring.
The driving sucks
The graphics are underwhelming
It's really buggy.
The PC version sucks.
It's a bit racist.
The lead character sucks.
The story sucks.
The voice acting sucks.
So why is this a "great" title again?

That's just the reviewer habit of trying to be 'fair' to both sides, only to end up looking like they have no confidence in their opinions. You can't just say what you think, because this is product evaluation or top down quality assurance, so a well made and polished turd is still well made and polished. So, don't be too harsh, they might pull access. At least acknowledge the budget. After all, the developer has (tried to) check these here quality boxes.
This is felt more acutely the more expensive a title is/looks, how many assurances were made during previews and other events that this and that is going to be fixed, how bad the crunch was, bonuses tied to metacritic ratings, what other reviewers think/say, etc. etc.
And hey, some readers might even lilke it the way it is, despite of whatever perceived faults it has, so there's your out right there.

Sadly, the only review so far is a 1-star idiot complaining about how its Kindle functions don't support his preferred orientation. Pfeh.

played it on PC
then installed the worsemod and SweetFXed it
Game looks nice after that , but good lord... bored after the first mission, with no real desire to play any more.

I was hoping they'd deep discount it during the Steam sale (unrealistic I know) but -20% is just :lol Ubisoft.
