there's no way you can mistake typo 1080p and 60fps, especially not when you're being paid probably a decent sum of money by a huge company to market their game.

Come on, there's no way one can be that incompetent. RIGHT?
 
Ubi probably doesnt want Sony shitting on the xbox version.

Remember when Sony started to brag about COD being 1080p and it was quickly removed?



Although 60fps seems like a stretch I wouldn't be shocked if it was possible with a 360/ps3 centric game like this. Every other 1080p remaster seems to be able to hit 60fps on ps4. Some more stable then others sure.

How is this game not 1080p 60fps locked? This game barely, and I mean barely looks better than GTAV.

Irrelevant. You can only say that of what you have seen of the game so far. There could be all manner of events or circumstances in game that have not been publicly demonstrated that demand more from the hardware

Not sure why Sony keeps making these silly blunders.

Just recently they had the "mistake" of all PSP and PS1 games being playable on Vita. They quietly fixed that mistake, but it took several days.

They had the PR blunder with Driveclub and PS+. Fortunately they reversed that decision thanks to the negative reaction.

On a smaller note, the Blog often makes minor mistakes with pricing and release dates at times. I do like the format of the Blog though.

Granted we are all human and make mistakes but Sony be silly sometimes.
 
I understand this is a speculation thread, but really we just have to wait until release to find out. The fact that text was taken down is not necessarily indicative of the original statement being untrue. It's just as likely, with all the marketing dollars being tossed around, that word got out to other hardware manufacturers (who would like us to believe there is some semblance of parity between the respective versions). Get used to it. It's inevitable with the power-inequality between systems, and the delicate business relationships between third party developers and hardware manufacturers

Your memory is extremely clouded. But carry on shitting up threads.
in before: yeah, buth buh, the artstyle and lighting, blah blah.

GTA5 ported with no extra tweaks would run at 1080p and 60fps on next gen consoles. That's only 4 times the required power, next gen is something like 10 times quicker. Plus there's the huge ram pool advantage. Considering Watchdogs is cross gen it's feasible it could run at 60fps. The question for the devs is do they want to give up on all the other visual candy they could afford at 30.

What does this have to do with what i said? People claim GTAV on PS3 looks on par or better than Watchdogs on PS4. And then they always backtrack and give it a twist (artstyle, etc.).

A german IT news site had a chance to play Watch Dogs for one and a half hour on the PS4 last week in Berlin.
They are reporting that Ubisoft talked about 1080p and 60Fps.
The reviewer couldnt notice any frame drops. I think thats some good news.

In addition they said they would prefer 30Fps with a better render quality...well thats bad news :D

Guys from the german Website www.golem.de report that they had a chance to preview the PS4 version at an event in Berlin.

Link to article

They are not impressed with the graphics on PS4.
However, the interesting part is the following:

Ubisoft spricht vollmundig von 1080p bei 60 fps für die Playstation 4 und in der Tat zeigte das Spiel subjektiv kaum Bildrateneinbrüche. Anderseits wären 30 fps und eine höhere Rendering-Qualiät unserer Ansicht nach die bessere Option gewesen, möglicherweise hätte Ubisoft dann aber bei der Xbox One zu viele Abstriche machen müssen.

In english:
Ubisoft are speaking wholehearted about 1080p and 60 fps for the playstation 4 and infact the game subjectively barely drops in terms of framerate.
On the other Hand 30 fps an a better Rendering Quality would be the better Option in our books. But maybe then Ubisoft would have been pressed to make sacrifices for the Xbone Version.

So not a 100% clear statement here but it seems definitely to be above 30 fps.
An unlocked framerate as in Tomb Raider seems high likely.

Edit: beaten

Yeah they say ubi just flatout said (without any doubt) 1080p 60fps on PS4. They also say they personally would have chosen for 30fps and a better image quality... But that might have made the gap between the XboxOne version too big (if i'm reading between the lines).
So, let's assume it IS 60 fps for a moment. Will people prefer this over a cleaner and more impressive look at 30fps?
Cause they willl get shit thrown at them no matter what i think.
